ChatGPT

  1. permanent wave

    A permanent wave, commonly known as a perm, is a chemical hair treatment that can be used to add curl and body to your hair. The treatment involves the use of heat and chemicals to break and reform the bonds of the hair, resulting in waves or curls that can last several months. The term "permanent" comes from the fact that this treatment changes the internal structure of the hair, therefore its effects last far longer than temporary styling methods.
