perm solution
Wave-setting chemical liquid
Perm solution is the chemical liquid used to permanently reshape hair, typically containing ammonium thioglycolate or similar compounds that break down hair's protein bonds.
The solution is applied to hair wrapped around rods, allowed to process, then neutralized with a second solution that reforms the bonds in the new curled or waved pattern.
The stylist warned me the perm solution would have a strong smell.
Professional-strength perm solutions are more potent than home kits.
