Ogilvie Salon Styles Home Perm The Original - For Color Treated, Thin, or Delicate Hair - 1 Application

I just just turned 75 and have been getting perms since I was probably 5 years old. My hair has always been baby fine but stick straight! Perms always make my hair thicker and I dont have to curl it everyday when I have a perm. I make sure I leave the permanent curlers (medium size) in long enough to look a little too curly, because I want the perm to last at least 6-9 months. With the perm, after I wash my hair, it's way too curly to wear as it is, but I use a big barrel curling iron to take out some of the curl, so my hair will look nice but stay in for several days. This is a great brand that I used to buy at CVS, but they don't sell perms anymore. This one I bought is for fine, color treated hair. I've needed another perm for at least 3 months now and my straight hair is driving me crazy (falling in my face) because it has NO body whatsoever! People who have body in their hair (that's not stick straight) have NO idea whatsoever how lucky they are!! I used to even give perms to my mom and sisters when I was age 14-18, before I left for college. It's unbelievable how much money I've saved over the past 55+ years, by giving myself, my own perms!

Love this home perm! Got salon results and still looks good after a trim 3 months later!!

Worked great with easy directions

My 9-year-old wanted curly hair like Patrick Mahomes for Halloween, so we decided to try a perm. Our first attempt was with a different kit, and while it had everything I remembered (including the bad smell), it didn't include the curling papers. We bought some separately, but they were too thick, and the result was only semi-curly hair.Three weeks later, I purchased the Ogilvie Home Perm Kit. It brought back memories of my childhood home hair salon days, but this kit stood out for its easy-to-follow instructions. The process was straightforward, and the results were fantastic—my son's hair came out perfectly curly and looked great.I'm thrilled with the Ogilvie kit and will continue to buy it for any future perming needs. It has everything you need, and the quality is top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking to achieve great curls at home!

I've always trusted these perms due to the fact that I have thin hair and it offers an opportunity to have a little volume without burning my hair. I haven't even taken it out the box but I look forward to doing so and I trust after all these years that the quality of the perm will suffice.

First, anyone with problems using their arms should not use a home perm. Secondly, no one should use this. It was a horrible experience using it and not only did it not put one single curl or wave into my hair, but my hair is also as dry as hay now. I'm just hoping it won't fall out. When I dried it, there was more hair than usual in my comb. I've had naturally curly and wavy hair all my life until I had to have surgery for my eye. They had to cut my head and reroute some veins or vessels is what they told me, and my head was closed with surgical glue and staples. That was a horrible experience, and I would have found a different way if I knew then what I know now. My hair had barely grown on one side of my head, and it's been getting thinner. I've tried everything to make it thicker and it was beginning to help. The other problem was that it made it straight as a stick. This perm left it extremely straight and dry. I try pulling it back at home, but I have hair that sticks straight out. Luckily, I have wigs since my hair got so thin to wear when I go out, but my once soft hair feels like straw now. I've ordered some leave-on conditioners and I hope it will help with this straw. Meanwhile, I look like a scarecrow. Update: I've tried to insert a picture but it won't take it. What I was going to insert was a picture of bag full of hair. It was my hair thanks to this perm. It doesn't come out in clumps, it just breaks off. My hair is about three inches shorter than it was and my hair brush was full of it. That was what was in the picture. Every morning, I awake to shorter hair, absolutely no curls and it will not take a curl with anything. It's also has no body. I'll keep trying to add pictures but for some reason it won't take my downloads. If I could take back one day, it would be the day I put this on my hair.

Was doing a Korean half perm on my DIL. There was plenty of perm lotion but 4 curls short on neutralizer. This could have been a disaster if I didn't know the chemistry of perms, I grabbed a bottle of peroxide and doused the curls and then massaged the neutralizer in to all the curls after removing the rollers. Honestly, put a bit more in the bottle! The perm turned out great and I was glad of the pre-conditioning step and the leave in conditioner that was included.

I do my own perms, and olgive never fails me
