What is a primary concern for clients with fine hair considering a perm?

When clients with fine hair consider a perm, the primary concern often revolves around the risk of losing hair volume. Fine hair generally has less density and may appear limp or flat, so the introduction of a perm can potentially weigh it down further or lead to a collapse of the natural volume. The chemical process involved in perming alters the structure of the hair, and if not done carefully, it can lead to finer hair appearing even thinner or more fragile. Understanding this concern helps stylists advise their clients appropriately, ensuring that the perm technique and rod size used are suitable to enhance instead of diminish the hair's overall volume and health.

Other factors such as time, cost, and scent play a role in the overall client experience but are secondary compared to the direct impact a perm can have on the appearance of fine hair.
