Last March 21, I’ve decided to have a digi perm at Bangs Tony & Jackey Salon in SM North EDSA Annex. I’ve been wanting to curl my hair back then but I haven’t got enough guts and courage to do it. My only remedy for hair loss due to childbirth is to get my hair curled to make it look thicker.
I availed their Loreal Setting Digital Perm with Hair Cut plus Treatments (Package D) and Seven was my Korean hairstylist. They recommend Loreal digiperm for first timers because it uses a milder formula and does less damage than the Aqua Setting Digital Perm (Package B).

After the haircut
“A digital perm is a perm which uses hot rods with the temperature regulated by a machine, which has a digital display, hence the name. However, the process of the perm is quite analogous to that of a traditional perm. A normal perm basically requires only the perm solution. A digital perm requires a (different) solution plus heat. This type of perm was developed in Korea, and now popular in both South Korea and Japan and other countries.” – Wikipedia.org
I don’t like small, kinky curls and big curls lose their effect faster. So I had medium curls. Medium curls get bigger after a few months.
Here are my curls after 4 hours. They told me never to wash my hair for 72 hours. To my dismay my curls got straightened out after three days. But after washing my hair the curls were back.
It took me a month to get used to my new hairstyle.
Care Tips for Curly Hair
- Twist and scrunch. Twist your locks then scrunch them upwards. You do this when you’re in the shower, when drying your hair, and when putting hair creams on.
- Ditch the brush. I’ve had no problem with this because I don’t brush my hair often even when it’s straight.
- Curly hair may appear “buhaghag” at times but you’ll get used to it. If you want your tresses tamed, apply a small amount of anti-frizz hair cream.
- I use Monea Curl Defining Milk. It’s only Php 95 in Watson’s. When applying hair cream, don’t flatten your curls on your palms. Do the twist and scrunch.

My hair as of July 6, 2011
Dearies, I had my hair cut short last September. For those who are asking for the recent photos, these are until the first week of September.
If you’d ask me, I’m 80% satisfied with Tony & Jackey’s services. Tony & Jackey promos are still ongoing. Here’s the price list.

hi there! im planning to have my hair be permed nextweek. it’s rebonded. but it’s already 6months since it was rebonded. i’ve read ur response from one of your messages and it says there that the digiperm won’t work with rebonded hair? is it true?
i’ve inquired to tony & jackey in smf but then they just asked if my hair is relaxed. i said no but it’s rebonded. they told me it’s just fine. also, a friend of mine who’s hair was also rebonded just underwent through digital perm and it worked. but i didn’t like the result that much coz the curls weren’t good in the picture.

Oh my god i love you hair! now i thought of getting my own when i get back in the philippines next month. I just want to ask.. What if I had my hair colored within 3 days before getting the digital perm, do u think it will not cause my hair any damage? Thank you! and thank you too for inspiring me to get my hair done.

Hello. I had my hair permed also and being a male. I don’t know much about shampoo maintenance for permed hair. May I know what shampoos and conditioners you used? Is it natural that the perm went out a few days later and after washing it, it returned?

Hi! I use anti-dandruff shampoo to clean hair cream residue build-up and moisturizing conditioner for my conditioner (curly hair tends to be drier). Yes, it’s normal that your curls were straightened out and return after washing them.

Hi! I’m planning to have my hair permed a month or two from now. My question is, will it work for a slight wavy hair like mine? Though I have my hair rebonded a year ago. Thanks

Hi Toffee! For me, it’s harder to maintain than the rebonded hair. I had to put on hair creams whenever I’ll go out kasi it’s a bit unruly if I won’t use them. Sorry I’ve already cut my hair a month ago. Super short na so I can’t show you any pic
If you haven’t tried it, I suggest you do. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience for me
