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.

I have short hair and usually have enough to saturate the rollers about 3 times each. Years ago when my hair was shoulder length, I could still get by with one box. Getting a perm is such a daunting task that I understand your desire to get it right the first time.....good luck!!

It's not gonna give any volume in thin hair. somehow when I use this product and I wash my hair like everyday . It makes my hair dry which mean it not gonna be heavy on the strands . Hope this will be help

I use that one and it's more of a tighter beachy curls but u can hold it for less than 10 seconds and let go keep doing that add some sea salt spray and shake your head around till you have your beachy hair or you can use the bigger size the 2 inches one and itll probably look more natural. In my opinion they both work great!�

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.

Hi Lynda, It can be used on dry hair but it almost felt nothing was in my hair. Also it looked the same as before so Im not really sure where the volume comes in because I didnt get volume with wet or dry hair. But i have seen one guy on YouTube have volume after using it on dry hair but his hair was already thick. I also have permed straight hair. Hope this helps.

I have fine hair. It works great putting a wave in fine hair. I'd just be careful about conditioner- the metal can fry hair.

I have thick hair strands that become tight curls when I use this rod. I lose a couple inches in hair "spring" which lasts days. I do recommend being very careful not to birn yourself with this rod - I've gotten myself a couple times on my wrist when holding the hair ends - its a pretty good burn for a millisecond of skin contact...or smarter yet, use the glove that comes with the rod. LOL

If you have thick, long hair you may need a 2nd box of ISO Option 2 perm on hand. Most product information is directed towards individuals who have thin hair. To perm my daughter's hair that is long, thick and curly, 2 boxes of ISO Option 2 were required. To give her the loose curl she desired, I used 1 1/4" perm rods. After perming I applied a protein rich conditioner to her hair, placed a plastic shower cap over it and she sat under a heat cap for 30 minutes. Her hair came out lovely.

Not knowing how thick your hair is, MY hair is REALLY thick, and REALLY long and I have been LOVING the Remington flatiron! It can handle the thickness AND the length, and the hand grip is nice too. I havent had any issues with sticking or catching.

The barrel is pretty large, it may deliver one or two (maximum) waves if you start at the roots of your hair. I recommend a smaller barrel for chin-length hair.

These large barrel rollers help give body. I also use a root lifter styling product and dry my hair with a round styling brush. I hope that helps!

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?

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.

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.
