Etymology

The term 'permed' comes from the word 'permanent', which originally described a treatment developed in the 1900s. The concept was to create long-lasting curls or waves in the hair, differing from traditional curling methods. The earliest techniques involved using heat and setting solutions. By the 1930s, the modern perm process was established, utilizing chemicals to break and reform the hair's bonds. The popularity of permed hairstyles surged during the 1980s, becoming a definitive fashion statement of that era. The techniques have evolved, and contemporary perms can offer a variety of styles and volumes, making them a remaining option for those seeking to change their hair texture.
