Does ceramic perm hurt your hair? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Ceramic perm is a popular perm technique in major hair salons, and many fashionable girls have tried it. However, while ceramic perm brings beautiful appearance, it also causes certain damage to the hair. It should be pointed out that ceramic perm should not be used frequently for a long time, and reasonable protective measures should be taken in daily life.

1. Will ceramic burns hurt your hair?

If you perm your hair too many times or too frequently, it will damage your hair. But if you do it occasionally, it will be fine. However, you must take good care of your hair during and after the perm process to ensure that your hair stays healthy and long-lasting.

2. Benefits of Ceramic Perm

1. Easy to maintain

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.

2. Various hairstyles

The ceramic perm hairstyle can be paired with a variety of bangs, as long as they are not too short or straight. If you want some changes, it’s not difficult. Hair that has been ceramic permed will have larger curls, but once you use styling products, the waves will shrink three times, so you can change the size of the curls yourself.

3. Targeted

Ceramic perm requires five steps: applying medicine, flushing, core loading, magnetization and shaping. In these five steps, the role of the hairstylist is to adjust the curl to suit you when the hair is being curled.

4. Hair care

People generally think that coarse and hard hair is difficult to style, but the opposite is true for ceramic perm. After being magnetized, harder hair not only has a long-lasting shape, but is also very elastic and textured, whereas soft hair requires more effort.

3. Disadvantages of Ceramic Hot

First of all, we must make it clear that perming hair is harmful to human health. The most common is allergic dermatitis after perming your hair. In mild cases, the contact site may cause itching, redness, swelling, rash, blisters, and even spread to the entire face and body. In a few cases, anaphylactic shock may occur. The ammonia and sulfites used in hot perm are toxic substances. Long-term excessive use can cause suffocation, loss of internal organ function, etc.; the main ingredient of cold perm, thioacetic acid, is carcinogenic.

In addition, perming your hair can cause chronic lead and copper poisoning. Symptoms of lead poisoning include dizziness, headache, fatigue, numbness of the limbs, cramping pain in the calf, abdominal pain, etc.

After perming your hair, there is often an odor that is difficult to wash off. In fact, this is the smell emitted by the thioglycolic acid substances in the perm machine. Studies have shown that thioglycolic acid-based perming agents are highly irritating to the scalp, can easily cause skin allergies, and may even damage the hematopoietic system and induce cancer.
