Leaves hair ready for styling once neutralised, rinsed and conditioned.
Description
Innovative Haircare Perm2 is a professional salon perm solution for long‑lasting, defined curls or waves. Formulated as part of a two-step perm system, Perm2 helps reshape the hair’s internal bonds so you can create soft, bouncy curls or controlled body waves that stay put.
The lotion has a fluid, salon-style texture that spreads evenly through sections, ensuring consistent results from roots to ends. Best suited to use by trained stylists or experienced home users, it’s designed for natural, healthy hair and should always be paired with the matching neutraliser. Expect hair to feel reshaped with a new curl pattern, ready for styling once fully rinsed and conditioned. Always perform a strand and allergy test before a full application.
