I'm from Japan and it's pretty much the standard kind of perm there now, and I love my hair with it, like she said styling is so much easier too :) Unfortunately it's a lot cheaper over there than it is here..
is this kinda the reverse of the chemical straightening then? it looks much more modern and pretty than my auntie's perm from the 70s but digital perm...what a name! x
Last time I did a perm (ten years ago...) IR heat was also used, but from lamps, not from within the rolls. Interestingly enough, this was the only way my very straight hair would hold a curl, traditional blow-drying didn't really cut it. I wonder if it has more with how the heat is distributed than with the products used. Oh, it also costed 10x less :D
it looks amazing but i'm sort of disappointed with the results because it just looks like my normal hair (but then again, my hair is never straight and shiny). i guess i expected something...fantastical!
hey just found this, and I had a digital perm last summer. It was great, but my hair, incredibly straight, silky and asian, refused to hold the perm properly. The stylist said it was because my hair is TOO straight, and that to put any more chemicals in my hair would seriously damage it. So just a heads up if anyone is planning on doing that =)
On the plus side though, it's been 9 months and my hair is still "curly" (as curly as it ever was, it's just a little wavy now, however it does hold curls better when I decide to curl my hair) at the bottom (all that's left since I've cut the rest off)
In the Daily Mail there was an article about the digital perm and they showed you a picture of victoria beckham. That is the kind of curl that I would love to have, but I doesn't look like that at all.
I think she just done it with an curling iron.
And what --- smile --- said, I have super straight hair, so it would probably refuse to hold the perm properly. So I might as well curl it myself once in a while.

Wow, I used to live in Japan. A digital perm there costs between £20 and £80 depending on where you go! Can't believe it's so expensive here!

But your review was very helpful thanks!
