Perms Have Gone Digital???

I get magazines and newspapers going from print to digital. I understand and accept that modern day communication takes place over digital airwaves. But when my regular email from the Daily Candy came into my inbox about the Digital Perm, I was very intrigued!

Although I relax my hair to get the curls out, they are plenty of women who get a perm to get the curls in. As with relaxers, special solutions are applied to the hair to alter its chemical makeup,(in this case to make the hair permanently curly). One can opt for the cold perm (ammonium thioglyucolate, the active ingredient in the solution makes the hair curl) or the warm wave (heat is required for the solution to penetrate the hair).

The digital perm, however, takes this process to another level. Once the right perm solutions are applied to wet hair, your hair tech rolls it up with curling rods that are connected to a negative ion hub. After a good hour of heat and ionization, a neutralizing solution is put in. After it's rinsed out, your hair is permanently curled for three months!

Has anyone else heard of the Digital Perm ? Have you had it done and if not, would you try it out?
