A digital perm is a hair treatment that creates soft, natural-looking curls or waves using heat and chemicals. Unlike traditional perms, which use cold solutions, a digital perm employs heated rods to set the curls. This method allows for more defined and longer-lasting results, making it popular for those seeking a low-maintenance hairstyle. The process typically involves applying a chemical solution to the hair, wrapping it around heated rods, and then using a digital machine to control the temperature. After the treatment, hair tends to have a shiny, bouncy appearance, and the curls can be styled easily with minimal effort.
