How to Wrap a Spiral Perm
Wrapping hair for a spiral perm is fundamentally different from wrapping hair for a regular perm because you are attempting to achieve two different things. A regular perm is intended more to add body and wave to hair, while a spiral perm is more for forming actual curls. Be advised that a professional hair stylist will have the skill and expertise necessary to ensure the best results with the least amount of damage to hair. Does this Spark an idea?
