For some women, the thought of a perm brings back frightening images of too-tight curls and crispy textures. For an entire generation of younger women, mention a perm and the response might be, “What’s that?” Perms were once the best way to achieve body and curl in a hair style, but with the advent of blow dryers, styling irons and hair styling products, perms have fallen by the wayside in recent decades. But thanks to some major new technology, including a formula that completely erases the unpleasant odor associated with the service, perms are resurging.

In the big world picture (political divisiveness, disease, injustice), oily hair isn’t the worst thing that can happen. But if your strands tend to become greasy and stringy by the end of each day (or sooner) it’s a pretty big deal to you. Excess oil causes your hairstyle to fall flat, your skin to feel oily and your confidence to droop.

There are two types of people in this world. There are those whose scalps produce enough oil that they must shampoo every day to prevent limp, greasy locks. And then there are those who put off shampooing as long as possible because their hair is happiest--and looks best--on day two, three or four. If you’re among the latter—you’re a member of the dry hair crowd. Your hair tends to look dull, feel brittle, lack bounce and body, get frizzy and, if you use hair color, it fades quickly.

The new Biolage Deep Treatment Packs contain the highest concentration of caring ingredients for healthier-feeling hair with each use*.” Here are nine more reasons to reach for a deep conditioning treatment.
