Your hairdresser should give you test curls prior to your wave, as it is only in this manner that you can reliably tell which solution and what steaming to give the hair. Of course, there are many hairdressers who do not give these test curls, replying on their own judgment and skill. That is quite all right, but even the most skilful can sometimes make a mistake, and if that mistake is made on your head it means that you then have a ruined head of hair for five or six months. Therefore, no matter how skilful the hairdresser, insist that he or she gives you a test curler prior to your wave. This is your assurance that the wave will be successful, Never seek bargain permanent waves. Remember that materials and skill cost money. When you buy a bargain dress, if you do not like it, you need not wear, it, but when you buy a permanent wave it is yours for many months.
