Are you bored of your current hair texture and style, and want to bring your hair to life by transforming it into big and bouncy voluminous curls? A Digital perm can be the ideal hair solution for you. Digital perms have been around for many years, and are still a very popular treatment that you can have at a hair salon with the right equipment needed to perform the treatment. It is just one of the many hair texture treatments that we offer here at Zoltan Hair, and we want to explain how a digital perm can transform your hair texture.

What is a Digital Perm?
A Digital perm – also commonly known as a hot perm – is a hair treatment that transforms straight, dull and sleek hair into gorgeous, natural-looking wavy locks; giving clients a permanent solution that avoids them having to curl their hair every morning. They originated from Japan in the early 2000s, and have taken waves since then and become an extremely popular treatment amongst many.
It involves using an application of chemicals to the hair which break down the natural bonds and molecules in your hair, before rebuilding them to give you large, beautiful, and bouncy curls. The solution applied to your hair is activated by heat, using a state-of-the-art machine, which permanently changes the structure of your hair and gives it curls and waves.
They differ from the traditional cold perms, as cold perms don’t involve the use of any heat. Digital perms are also a lot longer lasting than cold perms and give clients a much more natural-looking wave to their rather than tight ringlets.
How Long Does a Digital Perm Take to Complete?
A Digital perm is an ideal treatment for anyone who has thin, sleek, and straight hair and wants to give themselves soft, voluminous and curly hair. Digital Perms can be had by people with all lengths of hair, as long as the hair is long enough to wrap around the rod that is used to create your perm. Although a digital perm does still require some maintenance, it will drastically cut down your hair styling time. They can take between 2-4 hours to complete depending on your hair length and texture, and you can expect it to last you from 6 months up to a year.

Want Alexa’s chunky tousled chop, Gisele’s gorgeous waves or Kate’s soft curls? If so, it could be time to have a digital perm.
HELLO! talks to
Zoltan Vargyai – the modern master of hair retexturising
When you think perms, do you imagine tight curls and frizz? Then think again because, just like the rest of the world, perming has gone digital. That means you can control the amount of curl and create everything from the look of a perfect blow-dry, through to beach waves and deconstructed curls.
“My clients ask me to create everything from the Duchess of Cambridge’s perfectly groomed blow-dry to Gisele’s beachy locks and even that undone Alexa Chung texture, all with a perm,” says Zoltan Vargyai, London’s leading expert in hair texturising.
Zoltan is well known for Brazilian straightening and smoothing and was one of the first technicians to master Yuko Japanese hair-straightening a decade ago, essentially using perming solution to straighten hair. But a growing number of women now want waves they can wash-and-go.
“We all lead busy lives and what women want is hair that can be washed, then either roughly styled with a little product, left to dry naturally, or blow-dried in the minimum time and with the minimum effort. And that’s where modern perming techniques can come in,” says Zoltan.
The end result is a catwalk- cool look that usually takes waving wands, tongs, rollers and hours of blow-drying by a great hairdresser.
So what exactly is a digital perm?
“It is the most modern way to add customised waves to your hair,” Zoltan explains. “It involves plugging in each roller to a heat source so that each strand of hair is heated to activate the perming solution. I can choose what size perming rod to use from 1cm to 3.2cm, giving everything from a spiral twist to a super-soft wave. I can even choose to leave out fringes, or only perm the mid lengths or ends of the hair,” he adds. “Then I can control the temperature depending on the hair length, thickness and type. It really is a couture service tailor made for each client.”
But can a generation of women over 40 – scared by memories of local salons, teenage frizz and wash-and-wear perms left over from the 1980s and ’90s – really be sold on perms again?
“Perming technology has come so far in the past 20 years. It is light years ahead of what was available then,” says Zoltan, who scours the world for the latest hair innovations. “The technology is mainly coming from Korea, Japan and the Far East and it is very high-spec, even to the point that the perming papers are charged with positive ions to help the solution evenly attract to and absorb into the hair.”
Once permed, you’ll save time on your hair-styling routine. “I advise my clients to use shampoos and conditioners for colour-treated hair, as these are gentle and nourishing for chemically processed hair. Then, choose styling products for naturally curly or wavy hair.”
