My sister found several small vintage items at home today, but she doesn’t know their purpose. Have you ever seen anything like these?

The use of perm rods is integral to the perming process. Here’s a simplified overview:

Preparation: The hair is washed and treated with a perm solution, which breaks down the hair’s natural structure.
Rolling: The hair is divided into sections, and each section is wrapped around a perm rod. The size of the rod determines the size of the curl or wave.
Processing: The hair, wrapped in perm rods, is exposed to a chemical solution that sets the curl pattern.
Neutralizing: After processing, a neutralizer is applied to restore the hair’s natural structure and lock in the curls.
Types of Perm Rods

Perm rods come in various sizes, each producing different types of curls
