Difference Between Spiral Perm & Regular Perm Here are 5 main differences between a spiral perm and regular perm.

THE CURLS

One of the key differences between spiral perm and regular perm is the shape of the curls. With a spiral perm, the curls can be different sizes and lengths. The sizes of the curls vary from small to large. On the other hand, the curl pattern in a regular perm is uniform. All of the curls will be the same size and shape.

LENGTH

When considering spiral perm vs. regular perm, you should consider the length of your hair. To get perfect spiral curls, your hair should be at least 8 inches long from root to tip. It is possible to do amazing looking regular perms with hair that is much shorter.

VOLUME

A spiral perm normally gives a more voluminous look than a regular perm does. Although a regular perm will help to boost the volume of the style somewhat, it will not give the same depth as a spiral perm can.

RETRO

One of the key differences between a spiral perm and regular perm is the era that they evoke. A spiral perm is very reminiscent of the 1980’s, whereas a regular perm can give modern glamor. If you want to create a retro style, you should choose a spiral perm over a regular perm.

 Procedure

Spiral perms are done using special curling rods that are set vertically in the hair. The rods are long and thin to create the spiral effect. Once the hair is taken off of the rods, it should remain set in gorgeous uneven curls. A regular perm is done with a different size of rods that is placed flat against the head, rather than vertically.
