Ogilvie Salon Styles Home Perm The Original with Extra Body for Men & Women - For Color Treated, Normal Hair - Lasting Smooth Curls & Waves Before & After Conditioners with Drip Guard - 1 Application

This is my second perm with this product. I have fine thin hair. I used to get perms years ago for body but only 1 stylist gave me a perfect perm without friz. Even with short hair it took me such a long time to create a “full hair look”. I used ‘Biz’ spike it for staying which looked great but still needed to tease and add a little here and there. I stopped getting hair cuts from stylists too as colics and direction of hair growth were neglected. I started cutting my own hair about 35 years ago. I figured if I goofed at least I hadn’t paid for $35.00. When other stylists gave me a perm I’d tell them not to cut my hair except maybe in back where it takes me a long time to cut my own. Yet, they always seem to cut all over my head instead of my back ONLY. When I was browsing amazon one day I saw this perm. I decided to try it very very carefully. I thought last case desperation I could use the solution to take out the curls and re-straighten. I could not do this alone I found out after several attempts so my husband offered his hand. The rods would frequently slip loose. Ugh, time consuming: but this second perm should be much easier as I found ‘picks’ that should hold the rods in place. My permanent turned out great! Even though every strand was caught in the rod I had body. The first Sunday to church everyone noted how nice my hair looked. You could not see my pink scalp. I didn’t have to spend a huge amount of minutes covering up thin areas to conceal my scalp. I woke up in the morning and could slightly dampen my hair and blow dry and my hair looked full. The picture I included shows that there was no friz and my scalp is not visible. This pic was taken at thanksgiving time with perm about a month old. I checked this price with WalMart and it was $3.00 more. Ogilvie is the only reasonably priced perm on the market & I don’t know for how long. I think I’m going to order several. Finally, I highly recommend. Last night (Sunday) we were ready to do the perm Incase its too curly, etc. I have six days to loosen. 1 pkg. contents were missing-the step-by-step instructions. I checked each bottle hoping for guidance. None! i called amazon thinking they could email instructions. The chat was no help; Nichi told me instructions were on the box. Well there aren’t any on box. After waiting awhile I went back and pressed ‘call me’. The lady was very sweet but she couldn’t find any directions to email me. I already knew that the mfg. was closed on the week-end. This morning I called and the instructions were emailed me in less than a minute. Of course, having a business, I I will have to wait another day this week. :-( I’m sure this rarely happens. The robot probably missed the box. LOL IF this should happen to another customer, when you call don’t be surprised when the operator answers “Helen of Troy”. If this is your first time ordering, the description is not entirely clear. I looked every where for contents. This perm comes with Cotton (drip guard) & salon end-papers; both of which I ordered separately and didn’t need. I ordered ‘for normal hair with extra body! Truthfully, for a novice I was so amazed what a great perm product with exactly promised results. If you have short hair buying the ‘picks’ will be a time saver. WalMart had these rollers and included the picks. IF your hair is too curly the big rollers will help until the perm loosens. Hope this helps.

Used this brand for years. Always satisfied with it.

The Ogilvie Salon Styles Home Perm has exceeded my expectations! I was a bit nervous about doing a perm at home, but this kit made it so easy. The instructions are clear and straightforward, and the whole process was much simpler than I anticipated. I’ve tried getting perms at local salons, but no one here can ever seem to do my perm correctly. That’s why I’ve taken matters into my own hands, and this kit is a lifesaver. The results are fantastic—my curls came out beautifully defined and bouncy, just like I’d get from a salon (if they could ever get it right). The kit includes everything you need, and the solution is gentle on my hair, leaving it soft and shiny. It’s been weeks, and my curls are still holding up great! If you’re looking for a reliable home perm kit that delivers professional results, I highly recommend the Ogilvie Salon Styles Home Perm. It’s a great way to achieve long-lasting curls without the salon price tag!

The Good: This Permanent Wave Set cost next to nothing. (So cheap!) It had everything you need to do the perm except for the rods. All solutions, cotton and papers were included. There is no need to apply heat to your hair to help activate the wave solution. I used the maximum amount of time to get the curl I wanted. I checked the curl a couple of times and then just decided to go for the max because I wasn't seeing much wave in my hair. There are two bottles of conditioning solutions included. One used before you do the perm and one for use after the perm is completed. My hair looks GOOD! The Bad: There are a lot of steps to complete this perm especially with the additional conditioning treatments. It took a long time to complete this process. The directions warn you to plan on having 2 hours free to complete the process but I was surprised that it actually did take that long. (I think even longer because I used the maximum processing time.) I hate undoing the rods and checking on the "wave" in my hair. I rarely feel sure that the wave is enough. (I prefer perms that have a finite processing time. One that is done at a precise time.) But, when all is said and done, my hair came out really nice. So if you have a little patience this is a great perm for you. Good luck!

works super well and easy to use on myself

Welle hielt nur für 4 Tage.. Hat außerdem das Haar ruiniert.. Vielleicht ist es nicht für mein Haar geeignet. Dauerwelle bei meinem Friseur hielt auf jeden Fall lange. Schade :(

They stopped producing the product that I always your for my perm and was looking for something similar, and stumbled across this one and it looked the best out of everything on Amazon . I tried it and it did the job got my perm done but it just wasn’t as strong as the previous one that I used . I would recommend it though since there’s nothing better on Amazon for now

A great product. Very happy with the result excellent
