Definition Wave

Goldwell Definition Perms are an innovation in permanent waving - the first permanent wave line in North America enriched with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) to deliver noticeably shiny, defined curls.  

AHAs, together with the FortiCurl Complex, create even, true-to-rod sized waves that have a healthy-looking shine. 

NEP - Natural Energy Perm

NEP Perms are customized with a combination of natural oils, herbal extracts, proteins and Elastin Polymer Complex.  With these formulations, the optimal curl can be achieved on a variety of hair types.

Choose from three formulas:

• NEP Normal Hair
  Acid wave for normal, healthy hair.
• NEP Color Treated Hair
  Acid wave with a low ammonia content for tinted hair with 20 volume peroxide or less.
• NEP Resistant Hair
  Alkaline wave for resistant (fine or coarse textured) and grey hair.

Ask your stylist to utilize one of four Goldwell perm formulas for all hair types:

1. definition H/2s
   Acid wave for bleached, highlight tinted or highlighted hair exceeding 50%.
2. definiton C/2
   Acid wave for tinted, porous, highlighted hair up to 50%.
