perming
Salon curl treatment
Perming is giving hair a permanent wave—a chemical treatment that adds lasting curls or waves to straight hair.
The process involves wrapping hair around rods and applying solutions that break and reform the hair's structure.
She spent three hours at the salon perming her hair.
The term extends to any ongoing permanent-wave treatment: I've been perming my hair since the eighties.
