How do perm and straightening treatments work?

Permanent shaping changes the internal bonds of the hair so it can take on a new form. A lotion softens these bonds, the hair is wrapped on rollers or straightened, and a neutralizer then fixes the new shape. This is a chemical process, so the starting condition of the hair matters a lot. Hair that is already damaged, heavily lightened or colored needs a careful approach and a suitable formula. A strand test before a full treatment is good practice. Aftercare also plays a role: gentle washing and regular conditioning help the result last and keep the hair manageable. Creatine in a formula is used to help support the hair structure during treatment, but it does not make a chemical process risk free.

Wella Creatine+ Curl for defined, lasting curls

Creatine+ Curl is meant for creating curls or adding more definition to hair that has little natural movement. The result depends on the rod size you choose, the wrapping technique and the processing time. Smaller rods give tighter curls, larger rods give looser, bouncier shapes. Check the hair condition first, because natural, colored and sensitized hair each call for a different strength of lotion. Always follow the neutralizing step carefully, as this is what sets the curl. For the client, a mild shampoo and a regular conditioner afterwards help keep curls from drying out.

Tips for use

Do a strand test on hair that has been colored or lightened. Do not overload the rods with too much hair, as this leads to uneven curls. Avoid washing the hair for the first day or two after the treatment, unless the product instructions say otherwise.

Wella Creatine+ Wave for soft, natural waves

Creatine+ Wave suits clients who want a looser, more relaxed texture rather than tight curls. It works well for adding body and movement to fine or flat hair that holds a style poorly. Larger rods and a lighter wrapping technique give a natural wave. Note that waves will not stay as defined on very heavy or very long hair, because the weight pulls the shape out over time. The treatment adds movement, but it is not a volume treatment for thinning hair. If the client has colored hair, a suitable perm lotion such as Wella - Colored Perm Lotion - is worth considering.

Wella Creatine+ Straight for smoother, straighter hair

Creatine+ Straight is for clients with frizzy, wavy or curly hair who want a straighter and smoother result that lasts. The straightening cream is applied section by section, processed, rinsed and then fixed with a neutralizer. The result is long lasting but not permanent for new growth, so roots will need a touch up as the hair grows out. Hair that is already heavily damaged may not tolerate the treatment well, so assess the hair beforehand. For hair that is colored, Wella - Straightening Cream for Colored Hair - is a fitting option, and for sensitized hair there is Wella - Straightening Cream for Sensitized Hair -. A matching neutralizer such as Wella Perform Straightening Cream Neutralizer - completes the process.

For which hair type

It suits thick, coarse or very frizzy hair best. On fine hair, be careful with processing time. Afterwards, use a gentle shampoo and a conditioner to keep the hair soft.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Wella Creatine+ Curl, Wave and Straight?
Curl creates defined curls, Wave gives looser and softer waves, and Straight smooths and straightens the hair. The choice depends on the result the client wants and on the hair condition.
Can I use Wella Creatine+ on colored hair?
Often yes, but it depends on the condition of the hair. Do a strand test first and choose a formula intended for colored or sensitized hair where available.
How long does a perm or straightening treatment last?
The treated hair keeps its shape until it grows out, so new growth at the roots will need a touch up. How long the result looks good also depends on aftercare and the hair condition.
Does the creatine make the treatment safe for damaged hair?
No. Creatine helps support the hair structure, but these are still chemical treatments. Heavily damaged hair may not be suitable, so check the condition before you start.
Do I need a neutralizer as well?
Yes, the neutralizer is the step that fixes the new shape. Without it the result will not set properly, so use the one that matches your lotion or cream.
