I went on 03/27/2017 to have a small spiral perm put in my hair and my hair is as straight as it was when I went in. I'm very upset about it.
Firstly, I would complain to the people who did your perm and get your money back or have it fixed. Secondly, are you taking any medications? Some medications cause perms to not take.
If shei s a pro, I would ask her. Medications or pregnancy often will cause a perm not to take, through no fault of the person who did hte perm. But, I would also call the place that did the last one.
Go back to the place that you had your hair done at. Explain the situation. Give them a chance to fix it and then ask for a refund if you are not satisfied.
One of the earliest permanent waves, along with the croquinole, was the spiral. It predates the cold wave by a number of years. The machine spiral wave was very popular.
With the advent of the cold wave, the spiral wave lost its popularity. Many decades passed before the spiral would become popular again, this time in the form of a cold wave.
The spiral rod and the winding of the hair around it is quite different from the traditional wave rod and the way the hair is wrapped around it.
Many hairdressers who give spiral waves have no formal training in how to give them. The curvature of the hair strand around the rod is less, the processing time is usually more. I've heard many complaints of spiral waves that didn't take.
It takes about 48 hours for a perm to completely harden into its new shape. That would be a good length of time to wait for another perm.
Getting your money back is not the issue here. If you do, that's good. But, the person who gave the wave could clearly see when 'taking down' the perm, that it did not take. At that time he/she should have told you it didn't take and should have offered to do the perm over at your convenience and at no cost to you.
Since this didn't happen, I would not trust the same person to redo the perm. I do hope your aunt can give you a satisfactory perm. Good luck.
The first thing you have to do is have your Aunt look at it and especially feel your hair. If it was over processed it will be straight but damaged so you would not want to get another perm on damaged hair because it will break, and still not curl. If the perm was under processed or not rinsed well between the perming solution and the next steps it wouldn't take either, or if the solution was not left on long enough it wouldn't take.
Once the hair is completely neutralized, that's about the extent of the 'set' or hardening into its new shape. It will, though, continue to harden a bit more for the next 48 hours. If you wanted curls and not just body, I can't understand why your hair was blown and brushed straight.
If you have a good perm, or if you don't, for that matter, it will do no harm to wet your hair, now. I would recommend that you do. Wetting the hair will reveal just how much curl you do have and you might want to know that now.
What happened with your perm if you don't mind me asking. I got one earlier today and already parts have straightened
My son also takes insulin. We paid a lot of money at a salon for a curly top perm and it didn't take at all. I never considered it could be due to a medication but we waited 6 weeks then I did it myself at home with a perm solution from the drug store and it looks great so I don't think it had anything to do with the insulin or anything else other than a bad perm by an inexperienced stylist.

Re-perming your hair too soon can have disastrous results, depending on the condition of your hair and the type of perm used. Talk to a professional to determine how long you should wait. This is a page about, "How soon can I get another perm?".
