chemically oxidized perm.
Why this works: Perming consists of reducing cysteine bonds and then reforming them by oxidation. Perm neutralizer is actually an oxidizing agent, most commonly hydrogen peroxide but sometimes other agents are used. Atmospheric oxygen can complete this process.
If you do not want to do a complete air oxidation you can air oxidize for an hour and then use the chemical oxidizer and get good results, better than if you just applied the oxidizer right after rinsing. To do this BLOT BUT DO NOT RINSE, spray on a liquid protein reconstructor, air oxidize for about an hour (schedule such services as manicures and pedicures in this time), then neutralize the perm. Once again you want to use an alkaline perm.
Hope some of you newer stylist find this info useful. These techniques are particularly good for color treated hair (and back in the day we DID perm and color or hilite all the time, it just required a bit of knowledge and a decent product line!)
