These are traditional hair perm rods, commonly used in the hairstyling process, particularly for creating permanent curls or waves in the hair. They are cylindrical tools designed to hold sections of hair in place during a chemical perming process. The holes or perforations on the rods serve to evenly distribute the perming solution and allow better penetration into the hair strands.
The process generally involves wrapping small sections of damp hair around these rods, applying a perming solution to break the hair’s natural bonds, and then neutralizing it after a certain time to lock in the curls. The size and type of rod used determine the tightness and style of the curls – smaller rods create tighter curls, while larger rods create looser waves.
These rods have been widely used in salons for decades, especially before newer perming methods were introduced. They remain an essential tool for achieving long-lasting curls in certain traditional hairstyling techniques.
