Are childrens perms less stronger than adults?

[Bmack]

I am asking because a friend of mine uses a kiddie perm because she claims she does not want the harsh effects of an adult perm. Is there really a difference?

 

[gymfreak336]

No difference. In fact most of them have higher pH's than other regular "adult"
relaxers on the market

I dont think there is a differents. All the hair books that I have read say that there is no difference.

I use Just For Me and it gets my hair bone straight and I have thick, coarse, 4b hair....It just does not burn my scalp and I don't have sores like when I use regular perms.....

I figured that. I can't understand why my friend believes that there is a differenceerplexed

I think I read that it's the same but they added something in kiddie perms so the kids can't feel the burning as soon erplexed So your hair could be gettin' overprocessed and you wouldn't even know it...that's not good

I use Just for Me as well, I don't think there is that much of a difference, but it has this pre treatment solution that I like...you put on before you relax which helps with not over processing.

My friend Danny says there is a difference. He's a certified cosmetologist and has been doing hair and the finest perms I've seen in my life for over 25 years. I'll ask him again to break it down to me and I'll post if I remember

Fundamentally there may not be a big diff., but there is a differemce.

I used Just For Me for years and it got my hair straighter than Motions and ORS Adult relaxers. The only difference with Just For Me is that is came with that pre protection cream.

kidde perms = marketing.

same thing! I can use one and it does the same in the same amount of time, if not faster, than the ones marketed for adults.

I really don't believe anyone that says they are different.
