To achieve the best perm results, what should be ensured during the neutralization process?

Complete saturation of the hair during the neutralization process is crucial for achieving the best perm results. Neutralization is the phase where the newly formed bonds in the hair are stabilized after the chemical reaction of the perm process. Ensuring that the hair is completely saturated allows the neutralizer to uniformly penetrate each strand. This helps in effectively re-bonding the hair structure into the desired shape and ensures the curls last longer by locking in the shape created during the perming process.

If the hair is not fully saturated, some sections may not receive enough neutralizer, leading to inconsistencies in curl formation and strength. Proper saturation helps make sure that all parts of the hair are treated equally, allowing for uniform texture and curl consistency throughout the head. This attention to detail in the neutralization process directly impacts the overall quality and longevity of the perm.
