Ogilvie Salon Styles Precisely Right Professional Conditioning Perm Kit - Ideal for Color-Treated, Normal Hair - 1 Application

This is the 2nd time using this kit on my teenage son and it works great for his hair. He has a slight wave and texture to his hair for reference. Smells like crap but all perm solutions do! Will continue to purchase this as long as Im perming his hair. The curl holds for months in his hair.

Excellent home permanent. Best for gray, silver or white hair. Follow directions and you’ll get perfect results every time.

I have used Ogilvie perms my whole adult life (I'm 59) and I was always pleased with them. Stopped for a couple years as I had a barter going with a local hairdresser but recently lost that and so I bought this. I am highly disappointed. I had no product in my hair and washed before perming. The solution heated up and stank so seemed it was working but when I unrolled a curl at 9 minutes there was nothing. I rolled back and went the full fifteen. Was scared to leave it any longer. I got no curl out of it, I mean nothing! It may have a slight bit more body but even that is questionable. I wrote the company which google told me was Helen of Troy, they wrote back to tell me it had been sold to a company called HRB, which I can not find a site or email for so my only recourse is leaving a bad review I guess. I'd be curious when it was sold to the new company and if thats when things changed because they always worked great when I used to use them. It's not even a matter of the money, it's $15, who cares. It's a matter of all that wasted time and nothing to show for it. Hope my review can save someone else the trouble

It's been over a year since I used this. It worked amazing, didn't do horrific damage or my hair. I was still able to color my hair a few times and the fall out wasn't that bad at all. I still have curls

The box did not have all the items in it. It contained the heat activator, waving lotion and neutralizer. It did contain the end-papers, drip guard, instructions or applicator caps. I used the perm with the missing items and it turned out fairly good. I don't know how long it will last.

I have very fine and very straight hair. Every salon perm I have ever had was frizzy. I started doing it myself years ago and have always used Ogilvie. It takes an hour from shampoo to finish. A week after the perm I get about 1/2 inch trim and the curl is perfect. My complaint: in May, I bought two perm kits. I got ready to do the second one today and found that the small bottle of heat activator is empty. First time that has happened in at least twenty. Now have to wait to get another which is why I order two at a time. So I don't have to wait when I feel the need for emergency curls!!

I had good experences with this product in the past. I ordered two times in the last 10days. But I think the activators got leaked while its being transported that it didn't have any content on arrival, and it was very smelly before unboxing them. I wasted my money on the first order by trashing it instead of asking for a refund. Today I had the same problem and got refunded. If the activator wasn't activated on the way, I would strongly recommend it to anyone.
