The difference between hot perm and ceramic perm and how to take care of it

As beauty methods continue to develop and change, hairdressing methods are also becoming more and more varied. From the past straight perm and ionic perm, there are now new types of hot soup and ceramic perm. So which of these two perms is better? It is recommended that girls who choose to perm their hair should first understand the difference between hot spring perm and ceramic perm before making a choice.

1. What is Ceramic Perm?

Ceramic perm is also called far-infrared ceramic perm, and this type of curls is more natural. Ceramic perm uses an octopus-like instrument to clamp and pull the hair from all sides with ceramic rods, plug in electricity and conduct heat, and curl it. The hair is divided slightly thicker, combed smoothly, and curled tightly, so it is not suitable for short hair that is prone to leaking curls.

The process of ceramic perm is similar to that of ionic perm. As long as it is performed correctly, it will be less harmful to hair than traditional perm. Ceramic perm changes the structure of hair protein. It changes the hairstyle by tightening the protein, but traditional perming achieves curls by cutting disulfide bonds and destroying the hair.

For those who want to try ceramic perm, except for those with short hair, girls with long hair can try it. Do not use a hair dryer to blow or straighten your hair within 48 hours after perming, otherwise the hair will be damaged twice as much.

2. What is the difference between ceramic perm and hot perm?

Now perm is divided into cold perm and hot perm. Cold perm is the general perm, and you need to apply moisturizing gel after perming. Hot perm is divided into ion perm, ceramic perm, digital perm, etc. Soften first, then put it on the bar. The difference with this type of perm is that it doesn’t have much curl when wet, but it has better curl when dry, and the hair is soft and elastic.

Many people are promoting digital perm now, because digital perm machines are not expensive and easy to use. However, if digital perm is not done well, it will be the same as cold perm, and you also need to apply something to moisturize it. If you want to achieve this effect, it is better to do cold perm, which is cheaper. But hot perm also has disadvantages, some hairstyles need to be done with cold perm.

3. Ceramic perm care

The curls created by ceramic perm are not neat and tidy. They usually start curling from the base of the ears, and the ends of the hair appear a little messy and beautiful, which feels very natural. You don’t need to use hairspray every day, just comb your hair casually. It is more suitable for people like me who are more lazy nowadays.

For coarse and hard hair, ceramic perm can also produce good results. And everyone should pay attention that it is best to wash your hair 2-3 days after having a ceramic perm to give the hair enough time to be styled.
