Full details

This Schwarzkopf Professional Natural Styling Hydrowave Classic Perm Lotion (Strength 2) is designed for tinted or highlighted hair, offering a way to create long-lasting curls and waves up to 12 weeks. It combines hydrolysed keratin for strengthening with Hydrowave technology for moisture. A key benefit is its ability to deliver defined, resilient curls while caring for compromised hair.

FAQs

What is the difference between Strength 0, 1, and 2?

Strength 0 is for resistant, normal hair. Strength 1 is for normal to slightly porous hair. Strength 2 is specifically designed for tinted, highlighted, or chemically treated hair.

How long does the perm typically last?

The curls and waves created with this lotion can last up to 12 weeks, depending on hair type, texture, and aftercare.

Can I use Strength 2 on virgin hair?

No, Strength 2 is formulated for treated hair. Using it on virgin or resistant hair may result in poor curl formation or damage. Use Strength 0 or 1 for virgin hair.

Do I need to use a neutralizer with this lotion?

Yes, a neutralizer is a crucial step in the perming process after rinsing the perm lotion. It locks the curl pattern in place and restores hair's pH balance.

How often can I perm my hair using this product?

It is generally recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks between perming services, and to ensure hair condition is good before re-treating. Strength 2 should only be used on hair that has already been treated.

What is Hydrowave technology?

Hydrowave technology is Schwarzkopf's system designed to infuse hair with moisture during the perming process, aiming to protect the hair's condition and provide elasticity.

Is this product suitable for all hair lengths?

Yes, the lotion can be used on various hair lengths, provided the hair is suitable for the Strength 2 formulation. Application technique and rod size will determine the final result.

Troubleshooting

Uneven curl formation

Ensure even saturation of the lotion on all wound rods. Check for consistent tension during wrapping and ensure the correct rod size is used for the desired curl.

Hair feels overly dry or damaged post-perm

This can indicate the hair was too compromised for the service or the processing time was too long. Use deep conditioning treatments and protein masks. For future services, consider a milder strength or a different formula.

Curls do not hold or fall out quickly

Verify that the correct strength was used for the hair type. Ensure proper neutralization occurred. Use curl-enhancing products after washing and avoid over-brushing.

Scalp irritation during application

Immediately rinse the product from the scalp and affected areas. Ensure a barrier cream was used on the hairline. Consult a professional if irritation persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This Strength 2 lotion is specifically intended for tinted, highlighted, or chemically treated hair. It is not recommended for virgin, resistant, or very fine hair. Always perform a strand test and a patch test before full application.

Setup:

  1. Ensure hair is clean and free of styling products. Do not shampoo vigorously. Towel-dry hair until damp.
  2. Section hair appropriately for roller application.
  3. Apply the perm lotion evenly to the hair wound around the perm rods, following the manufacturer's detailed instructions for application method and timing.

Care:

  • After rinsing out the perm lotion and neutralizer, use a conditioner designed for permed or chemically treated hair.
  • Avoid washing hair for at least 48-72 hours after the perm service to allow curls to set fully.
  • Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to prolong the life of the perm.
  • Gently towel-dry hair and use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to detangle. Apply curl-defining creams or mousses to enhance and maintain the curl pattern.
