Does this work well for a body wave perm? I have large 1 1/4 inch rods and am looking for volume. I don't want to end up with Dee Snider hair! :)

1 inch rods might work better without too much curls but I have never had a failure with this perm. Just be sure and rinse well with this perm. Good luck. Aquila

The perm is mild but with all perms you should put in a conditioner at the end before you put in any color. If you have thick wavy curly hair, this perm will calm your hair down with straightening it out but leave you with plenty of volume. Just remember when your hair is wet, it will look flat. But as it dries, it will puff up. I use medium orange rods, but I already have naturally curly wavy hair. So judge by that. Good Luck!

I have never been so disappointed in a perm as I was with this one. My advice is to try some other brand. I got nothing out of this. No waves, no curl, nothing.

Best perm I have ever used. If you roll on those rollers, and you test in 3-5 mins. you will be able to stop when you have enough waves. They have never caused my hair to kink just be sure to rinse well after perm solution and check for time. Best of luck.

I think it would work well as a body wave. That is what my hair looked like.

It depends on your hair. Mine is baby fine and thinish. If I used a perm rod that large I don't think I would get much volume. I use Block It end wraps and a small perm rod because I want it tight at the roots and loose on the ends.

Then you better skip this one. I know this perm has some good reviews, but I followed directions and it turned out to be the frizziest perm I've ever had.

Hi, LeAnn:Though I do like this blowdryer, I like the Babyliss Pro BABP2800 even more. I use the 2800 as a rule now because not only does it do a better job drying my hair without actually drying it out, but it also makes it look like I spent time styling it. Usually, I just brush my hair a little while I'm drying it and occasionally run my fingers through it to aim the air where it needs to go. I have gotten some nice compliments on my hair since using the BABP2800. I think if volume is what you're after, then that will be the blowdryer for you. Hope this helps! :)

I have only tried this one. I worked pretty well but it is uncomfortable. I did note I was not as bothered as time went on though. I still use a depilatory as well for the really fine hairs.

I purchased it because I had installed 12 inch human hair. On me that is a little bit below the shoulder blades. I had a hard time curling it. BUT, only bc I felt is if the hair was to short. I'm keeping it because the price was awesome. I plan to purchase longer hair. And it's exactly as described. It heats superfast. And it had the hair very shiny and I had not put on any product. Hope this helps...

I have used this perm twice and have been very pleased with the results. I have fine hair and the perm they have for fine hair does not give the body I want but this one does. As other customers have said it will depend on the size of curlers you use.

You can adjust the pole to make it higher. Flex rods have a hard time under there, but perm rods are fine. The only issue you might run into are the sides, though that part of my bsl hair always dries there. If you are like me with coarser hair I recommend that you only set your hair on mostly dry air, this is not that powerful- my blow dryer has the same amount of watts- so I have more success with hair that is NOT soaking wet.

It really depends on the thickness of your hair. The bottom of the barrel is thicker then the top . My hair is short and this barrel thickness works great. But if you have longer and thicker hair may want to consider getting a thicker barrel because the ttip of this barrel is probably half of an inch in diameter. I hope this information helps you in your decision-making.

I had long hair when I got this. Its also semi straight but gets a funky wave in it. I always used a 2 inch but I really like this 1 inch. This one heats really fast which may be why it works so well.

I'm not sure, because when mine unraveled, it just became a mess(knots,tangled ). I would recommend using Freetress hair, which is about $5-7 a pack. They have different styles, and I'm sure body wave is one of them

I was able to use my curling wand with no problem, although I am not sure of the tempurature that it goes up to cause it only has an on and off switch. I have shoulder length hair, but I had only brought mine to use with the intention of adding lenght to braid my hair. I am mixed but I have rather thin hair so it gives me a little thickness without being too much or not enough. It is not just one track it is at least nine or more I believe and the thickness is even from the weft to the ends of the hair...hope this helps!

I am not exactly sure of the sizes, but there is a small roller, equivalent to a medium size perming rod and the larger is for a fuller curl rather than a tight curl. I have had no problem on either of my girls or my own hair, and we have all different thicknesses.

My hair is of medium thickness, and falls to my shoulders, and the waver works great! If your hair is really thick, you could just take smaller sections of hair.

Hahah! To be honest I haven't used it since my 3rd attempt of trying to create normal waves. My hair texture is a strange one. With that to be said, I tried it on my friends hair and I've discovered that it works better when you blow dry you hair first. But, no body got time for that. So, i just have mine under my counter.

It really depends on how short your hair is, some of the rods are bigger than others and wont give you as much of a curl depending on your hair length. I would suggest buying rods at your local beauty supply store such as sallys where you can actually select the size you want for your hair length.

Please don't use 50 volume developer, it might work fast, but it could melt your hair off, and burn your head leaving bald spots. . Just bleach with 30 volume twice. Especially if you plan on going bright red and not platinum blonde, which is a whole different ordeal

I am beginning to wave my hair. And I find whenever I apply Curl Enhancing Smoothie and brush my hair it allows it to be waved and curled with great hold! Hope this helps?

It probably isn't the best thing for curled hair. Why not try Matrix Total Results Curl shampoo and conditioner. I used to use that when I had a perm and liked it.
