Choose quickly: how to make the right choice in 1 minute
The problem: time loss, frustration and disruption when perming
What often goes wrong here: wrong rod, wrong elastics, or not matched to hair length. This leads to loose rods, breakage risk, and costly time loss. Every minute you win back is immediately felt in the workload.
Why is the wrong choice so often made in salons?
Speed beats logic. Under pressure, people quickly reach for the ‘old familiar’—but hair length, thickness, and technique often require something slightly different. Inexperienced colleagues mix up different lengths, or choose elastics that are too thick, causing the rods to come loose.
Types within this collection—so you can achieve results immediately
- Perm rods (classic, traditional, bi-color) – difference in length and color, matched to hair type and technique
- Rod elastics – round, flat, or with a nub; rubber or silicone; short or long
How do you choose the right one?
First, determine: are you working classically, do you want extra grip, or do you have sensitive/fragile hair? Choose the rod length based on hair length. Grab a bi-color rod when quickly switching between color sections. If you want to minimize the chance of creasing, take elastics with a flip or nub.
Important differences that matter most in practice
- Rod length (60 or 80 mm) – always adapt to hair length.
- Rubber versus silicone elastic – rubber is firm, silicone provides more grip.
- Flat elastics – less chance of cutting in, comfortable for fine hair.
- Color (bi-color) – immediate overview when you want to quickly recognize sections.
