What is a permanent wave?
|

A permanent wave is a chemical process of putting a new permanent curved shape into the hair. Because permanent waves are considered to be a professional product, we recommend that you see a professional stylist to ensure proper application. Ask your stylist about Wave Nouveau Coiffure, a new permanent wave system.

If my hair is natural and colored, can I get a permanent wave?
|
|
|
Yes. As long as your hair is free of relaxer you can receive a permanent wave. If there is relaxer on the ends of the hair, all relaxed hair MUST be cut off before proceeding with the permanent wave. After proper conditioning and analysis of healthy hair, you may proceed with your permanent wave service.

You may mold the hair in a wrap style or set it on rollers and sit under a hooded dryer until hair is thoroughly dry. Try using Wave Nouveau Coiffure Revitalizing Mousse.

Will my hair have the wet look if I have a permanent wave?
|
|
|
The look of the permanent wave will be determined by the amount of product that is used on a daily basis. Excessive use of product will cause a moisture build up, causing the hair to look wet. Try using Wave Nouveau Coiffure Daily Humectant for moisture or the Wave Nouveau Coiffure Mousse for hold and definition. Both of these maintenance products provide a matte finish.
