Today will unfortunately be the last day in our hair perming series... It's going to be sad because these fun posts will be ending, but today's post is really exciting, which isn't such a bad thing :)
Today we will be talking about the interesting and fun facts about hair perming; these facts are things that even I have never heard or known about before...

1) Like I had mentioned in a previous post, the first public showing of a perm-like permanent waving/curling procedure from developed by a German hairdresser named Karl Nessler. He created a mixture of cow urine and water to allow the curls to process to become permanent.

2) Did you know that "in fact, the person to produce a method for curling hair was Marcel Grateau, who in 1872 invented a pair of crimping tongs, that when heated on a gas flame and applied to the hair, produced a two-dimensional wave, similar to a curling iron" (History Channel, 2014).

3) Did you know that Karl Nessler conducted his first experiements on his wife, Katharina Laible? And the process took about 6 hours and he had to use about 12 2-pound brass hair roller. The rollers were approx. 212 degrees fahrenheit.
4) AND... after completing his first two experiments or more like attempts, his wife's locks were completely burnt off and her scalp was burnt.
5) When Karl Nessler then moved to America during World War I, he opened a hair styling salon on East 49th Street, and the American women LOVED his perm or permanent wave. By 1927, Nessler, who began going by the surname "Nestle", had salon branches across the US, in Chicago, Detroit, Palm Beach and Philadelphia staffed by some 500 employees.

6) Perms are not as "good to go" as they might seem - Perms can results in the hair being really dry and frizzy, so you won't wake up as perfect as it might seem.

8) Did you know that after perming your hair, you cannot wash it for at least 48 hours because the curls haven't settled and therefore, will just fall rather than becoming a successful perm.

Now, I don't know about you; but I thought those facts were pretty interesting! I didn't know anything about those topics and I've and read just about all the perm articles and videos that have ever existed!
Alright my lovely readers; that was the last of it. We have virtually nothing left to talk about, I mean I'm sure some fancy scientist would disagree, but for us; it's enough! XD
So until next time friends,
