    GlossaryPerming (Perm)

    chemical process that creates long-lasting curls or waves in hair

    Perming, also known as a permanent wave or simply a perm, is a chemical process used to alter the structure of hair to create curls or waves that last for an extended period. This involves applying a chemical solution to break the hair's natural bonds, reshaping the hair around curlers or rods, and then applying a neutralizer to reform the bonds in the new shape.

      Hair regrowth from treatments like minoxidil, RU58841, and finasteride is not permanent; stopping these treatments typically results in hair loss resuming. Beard hair can become permanent with minoxidil use, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing treatment to maintain gains.
