Question:

Do digital perms only work on Asian hair?

I've had my hair permed before, and I recently got one that I'm not overly happy with, so I wanted to try this kindI absolutely LOVE the lookIt's just that I'm not one bit Asian and I heard that this technique was designed for their specific hair typeAny information will be helpful.

Answer:

I've always been partial to an espresso flavored soda called Manhattan Special, produced in Brooklyn NYBy the way, phosphoric acid is what makes it fizzAny product containing that will give you the same corrosive results.
I don't like Coke because when I was a kid my mother would give us the Coke syrup when we were really sickIt was so sweet and tasted really grossI'm a Pepsi fan but I only drink dietI'm thinking that it isn't much better but I can't live without my Diet Pepsi products, I try not to indulge in more than one a day though.
Yes, I still like coke, only because I won't be doing any of those with my can of Coca-Cola.
Digital perms are a spin off of the Japanese straightening method using a much gentler approachIt actually is more for body and waves than a curl and should not be considered as a reverse perm as they are intended for movement on hair which does't have anyThere is a 3 step process which is not much more time than a regular perm using a machine which heats ceramic rodsWhen wet the hair is straight, as it dries you get waves and soft curlsYou do not have to actually style the hair, a diffuser will be all you needIn the morning or after work you can wrap your hair around your finger like you would a curling iorn to create tight waves or big curls, no heat nesisary!!! They start a little tight but loosen after about 2 weeks and last from 4 to 6 monthsYou will find them mostly at Asian salons but get a good recommendation to find a stylist who knows what they are doing so it is done rightThat doesn't mean ONLY ASIANS get, or give the permsBTW: The hair industry is a billion dollar business, they sell products that cleans condition the hairThey also sell products that damage and causes hair lossThey also DO NOT give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'Mechanical, chemical, or thermal stylingHair straighteners and relaxers top the hair products pose the greatest risksHair relaxers, related products marketed heavily to African-American women, are dangerous because they may contain powerful chemicals such as lye, a toxic substance also used in drain cleanersChemicals can enter the body through the skin.
