Hello everyone! People help, tell me this perm wave, how long smells after the procedure? I did the last time bio permanent three months ago, but stil

It only smelled for a few days and that was very mild. I was very pleased with the perm.

It was a matter of a couple of times shampooing before the mild smell was completely gone.

It has very little smell. There is a vial of solution to put on your hair before the wave solution. This cuts way down on the smell. I don't smell anything the next day

My hairdresser did a light shampoo and conditioner after application and rinsing of perm because my hair is color treated (weeks before perm). Then I waited 48 hours before shampooing again. I have not had any problems with smell and I am overly sensitive to offensive odors. Perhaps you permed too soon after color treating your hair? Or, your hair is thin and less time is needed to be in rods. Why are you perming so soon (3 months) after last perm? My hair grows fast and is thick but still have lots of body and perm left and it has been at least 6 months or longer since I permed. Hope this helps.

It worked perfectly for me. http://www.amazon.com/review/R3IY5N6ZLPZPSJ/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000GAS2X6&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

Hello: While I found the shampoo acceptable except for the smell, your query sent me looking. Not only does the on-label URL take one to an err page, there is scant data on-line about the company LEMARIE USA LLC and whosis provided a very creepy page which I'll give you the URL for http://whois.domaintools.com/lemarie-usa.com

This has nothing to do with the question, but related to the product. I just bought this item from eBay. This scent is really strong and stinky. It's hurting my sinus. It smells nothing like citrus. It smells more like someone's brand new perm. I used to charge my phone on my nightstand. Now I have to take it to my bathroom. I wish I can remove the cord protector and hide it somewhere, but I don't want my feline baby to get electric shock from biting into the cord. Other than the stinky odor, it works though. I"ll just have to imagine I'm sleeping in a beauty salon.

I have tried a thicker clear aloe vera gel with my RF facial machine. It seemed to work, but I didn't get the results I was used to with medical ultrasound gel. Also, aloe vera gel absorbs into your skin and dries faster so it's kind of a pain. I wouldn't bother. Maybe you could mix a little of this stuff into your regular gel. I think I'll try that, and get back to you.

I've always been told to wait 48 hours before shampooing after perm, which is what I did. It has been a great perm!

Hi Danni, sorry for the delay. Could you be more specific? Did you spend a long time on one session? Or have you been using it for a few of weeks and that's what you mean by 'a long time'? Are you completely new to this method of hair removal or are you dissatisfied with this particular epilator?

You should leave the perm on your hair according to the directions. If you don't have the directions, which i'm assuming is the reason for your question, you don't want to leave the perm in your hair any longer than 20 minutes according to your hair type. Please make sure you have not washed or scratched your hair or scalp as this does not help the process and can cause abrasions or scars in the scalp. If you have washed your hair, I would wait at least a day or two for best results. If you have sensitive skin you may want to leave the perm in a shorter period of time. 15 or 20 minutes is pretty good. You also want to make sure that you start around the edges of your hair line first and work your way through the rest of your hair, making sure to part your hair in sections. 4 sections is best, it will help you to go through your hair quickly. Don't use the product directly in your scalp at first. Apply the product to the edges of all your hair first and then, if your scalp is not burning apply the rest of the product to the scalp as you go back through your hair to apply the rest of the product. Make sure to use gloves for skin protection and vaseline if you have it or the clear jelly that sometimes comes with the product. Apply the clear jelly or vaseline around the entire edges of your hairline. Example: if you have vaseline it will work fine, just take a medium helping and spread it on your face at the hairline and around the ears incase product gets onto the skin. this will keep you from burning the skin with the product. I hope this helps and I hope it wasn't too much information. I enjoy helping if I can. Good luck with straightness.

I did not notice any particular strong odor. As soon as you are able to wash your hair after the perm, that should take away any lingering odor. I did not have any problem with lasting odor. Good luck.

I looked and looked on box and could not tell if it was a authentic Iso. I swear by Iso perms and have always had great luck with them. Since I let my cosmo. license expire, I ordered one on line. It came out terrible. I was not sure if I left it on too long or if my hair is that damaged. I wondered myself if these were not the real deal. Like I said, even damaged hair, I always got a good perm with Iso, so I don't know. Sorry, I'm not much help.

Don't buy it. I used one box for shoulder length hair following the instruction carefully but NOTHING happened, NO PERM. could not return the purchase for it was already used without any (HONESTLY) result! I used to use MB products for my hair care (shampoo, conditioner, etc...) NO RESULT... maybe it is my hair?

The smell is not bad. I used a water based top coat that I bought locally. FYI I still love the results!

Sadly this did not work for me. What I can recommend as far as this product goes is to use a leave in conditioner with it. I noticed it was very drying. By the 8th day (also the last day I used the product) I looked like I had gotten a very, very bad perm.

Our average wash cycle (i.e., normal regular or normal perm press) with our average load (large setting) seems to go about 30-35 minutes. Add in an extra rinse cycle and it is about 45 minutes. No issue for us since this is still faster than our Whirlpool WED4850 dryer (which we also like a lot).

If you stop using it completely it will grow back, at least with me it did. It also only greatly slowed the growth process and I noticed a few hairs got thinner. I like how fast it works but can't stand the smell so there's something else to consider.

I've done highlights (30 vol)fully lightened, colored ( semi-perm and perm)lightened again (40 vol) multiple times.. and hair is still in tact. It's cut short now, but ive given it quite a beating for months while i was in school, and i can honestly tell you i am not disappointed..

It burned the *expletive deleted* out of my face after about a minute. I left it in probably for about 3 minutes before I used baking soda to neutralize it. I would say do a test on your neck or something first because it was not my first peel I knew what to expect. What I do now is I only put it on areas that are uneven in tone or that have pimples and leave it for the full time (about 8-10 min) or as long as I can stand it LOL and then neutralize it. Follow up with a moisturizer for your skin type (I use pure argan oil from Morocco) and you're good to go! It is a pretty decent peel even if it burns a bit and it doesn't quite PEEL peel but you'll notice your skins clarity improves. Hope this helped!
