Does your hair smell aftera perm? | YOGI CARE Guide
Many clients experience lingering odors after a perm. This is often due to the strong chemicals used in the process. Aromatherapy offers a safe and effective solution to mask and neutralize these smells. This article explores common post-perm scents, their causes, and effective aromatherapy techniques for professionals.
Does Your Hair Smell After a Perm? Understanding and Addressing Post-Perm Aromas with Aromatherapy
Understanding Post-Perm Odors
* Chemical Residue: Perms utilize strong chemicals like ammonium thioglycolate, which have a distinctive, sometimes unpleasant, odor. This odor can linger in the hair even after rinsing.
* Neutralization Process: The neutralizing solution used to stop the chemical reaction also contributes to the overall scent profile. These solutions often have their own distinct aroma.
* Hair Type and Texture: Hair porosity and density can influence how long the smell persists. More porous hair may retain more of the chemical residue.
* Product Formulation: The specific perm solution used will impact the resulting smell. Some formulations are designed to minimize odor but may not entirely eliminate it.
Aromatherapy Solutions for Post-Perm Scents
* Neutralizing Essential Oils: Certain essential oils possess odor-neutralizing properties. Lavender, tea tree, and chamomile are known to effectively mask or neutralize strong chemical smells.
* Complementary Blends: Creating a blend of essential oils can achieve a more balanced and pleasant scent profile. For example, blending lavender with a citrus oil like lemon can offer a refreshing and clean aroma.
* Application Methods: Essential oils can be diluted in a carrier oil (like jojoba or sweet almond) and applied directly to the hair after the perm. Alternatively, a few drops can be added to a hair rinse.
* Hair Steaming: Adding essential oils to a hair steamer can help to further distribute the fragrance and potentially aid in the removal of lingering chemical residue. This method should always be performed cautiously and according to manufacturer instructions.
Professional Recommendations and Safety Precautions
* Patch Testing: Always perform a patch test before applying any essential oil blend to a client's scalp to check for allergic reactions.
* Dilution is Key: Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to the skin or hair. Always use a carrier oil to dilute the essential oils.
* Client Consultation: Discuss the client's preferences and sensitivities before selecting essential oils.
* Proper Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the salon to minimize exposure to both perm chemicals and essential oils.
* Professional Guidance: For advanced aromatherapy techniques and complex cases, consult a qualified aromatherapist.

* National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA): Offers information and resources on safe and effective aromatherapy practices.
* Robert Tisserand Institute: Provides educational resources on aromatherapy and essential oil safety.
