Etymology

The term 'perming' originates from the word 'permanente', which is derived from the French word 'permanente', meaning 'permanent wave'. This technique began gaining popularity in the early 20th century as a way to achieve long-lasting curls. The first commercial perm solution was developed around the 1930s and revolutionized hair styling, making it accessible for everyday people. As chemical processes advanced, different methods, such as cold perming, emerged, allowing for a variety of curl styles and textures. Today, perming remains a popular choice among individuals looking for low-maintenance hairstyles that can provide volume and character.
