Spiral Perms
Spiral perms are usually given on long hair. The cascading curls frame the face beautifully with corkscrew curls. How tight the curls are depends on the size of rods the hair is rolled on. It can be done on short hair but the result is usually very tight curls which can be achieved with just a regular perm. This is definitely a texturizing perm. Rods are rolled vertically rather than horizontal. The perm takes at least twice as long because there is 2 to 3 rods in place of one rod rolled horizontally. Styling requires little effort. Apply your choice of styling products and wrap around two fingers and twist until you reach the end, dry and shake.
