5.0 out of 5 stars UPDATED: Happy So Far
UPDATE 4/10/2022:After living with the initial perm 7 months, I discovered that on the really thin/finest areas on my scalp, namely the crown, the ends got just a bit “crispy.” Nothing an iron wouldn’t smooth out and not brittle enough to break, but even so…When I gave myself another perm a few weeks ago, I reduced the processing time from 20 down to 15 minutes, and the difference is noticeable. Much better result on the really thin/fine areas, and the overall curl is just as good. For those of you with normal to thick hair, full 20 minute processing time is probably just fine. For those of us with finer & thinner hair, 15 minutes is gold.ORIGINAL REVIEW 8/1/2021:I have very fine hair, so I have to be careful with my product choices. I gave myself a perm today using the Zotos Quantum Extra Body Acid Perm. So far, so good… I will come back and update again after a few weeks of washing & styling.I didn’t want tight curls—just loose natural curls, so I chose all purple rods. I also purchased end papers, cotton roll, and some long plastic rolling picks to feed through the roller bands. (Roller picks are a must for me to prevent sagging and weird roller marks on my thinning crown. If you have normal or thick hair, this may not be a problem for you.)The instructions on the inside of the box were basic, but easy to follow. (Even though I’ve watched stylists perm my hair dozens of times over the years, I also watched a couple of videos on YouTube to get tips from people who have already done this.)First big key to a good perm is getting your hair super clean. I used a clarifying shampoo, and did not use any conditioner or other products at all in my hair after shampooing, then I combed it out with a nice wide-tooth comb to avoid breakage.NOTE: I suspect some people who didn’t get a good result may have accidentally used conditioner or something after shampooing? Hard to say without asking, but it’s something I have seen happen with other people before.Next big key to a good perm is definitely how you roll the hair, so I put on my “patience hat” and really took my time. Also, I kept a little spray bottle of water handy so I could re-dampen each section as needed. (Hair is easier to roll and absorbs the solution better when it’s damp.)I left the waving solution + activator on for the full 20 minutes before rinsing (rollers still in) and gently patting dry. Then I applied the neutralizer and let that sit for about 10 minutes before carefully removing the rollers and rinsing my hair one final time. I’ll wait at least 48 hours before washing, per the instructions (and past experience with salon perms).My initial impression? It actually came out a little better than the perms my ex-stylist used to give me. (See photos) The curls feels softer, and my hair isn’t borderline fried. I now suspect she was using something too harsh for my hair.I’m so happy that I finally worked up the courage to give myself a perm at home. Getting a better result than she did has given me a lot of confidence AND it will save me a ton of money in years to come.
5.0 out of 5 stars Curls galore, no bad smell and no damage to hair
Absolutely beautiful curls without that perm smell. It’s a great product! I’ll buy it again
5.0 out of 5 stars Good Curl
Worked like a charm on my son’s hair. I used .65 size white rods with 1” by .5” size section of hair on each rod for a looser curl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long lasting curls
If you're looking for an affordable perm that delivers long-lasting curls, Quantum Perm is a solid choice. It holds curls well, giving a natural, bouncy look without breaking the bank. The formula is gentle enough for most hair types, making it a go-to for both professionals and at-home users.That said, like most perms, it does have a strong smell during application, and the processing time can vary depending on hair texture. If you have thicker or more resistant hair, you might need to leave it on a bit longer. Also, technique matters—a bad roll or uneven application can affect the results.Overall, if you want a budget-friendly perm that actually lasts, Quantum is worth considering. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully for the best results.
1.0 out of 5 stars No curl
I’ve been a hairstylist for 12 years and have done thousands of perms. Used this product last minute.Completed on virgin hair with 1” rods. Instructions stated to leave on for no more than 20 minutes. At the 19 minute mark, we checked to see how the curl was doing—absolutely no curl whatsoever. We didn’t want to risk over processing, so started rinsing at 20 minutes and applied the neutralizer.When we removed the rollers and checked, absolutely none of the hair had curled except a small portion on the fringe. The entire back and side sections were almost straighter than the hair had been naturally.Not remotely satisfied with this product. I have never had a neutralizer from any brand burn my scalp—this one did. We rinsed for 15 minutes and the smell never dulled.I’m not sure how this has so many positive reviews. We now cannot touch their hair for another month after expecting this product to work and having it fail. They’re not happy at all with the outcome. This was a major waste of time spent for something that resulted in board straight hair that had previously had a light wave to it. In twelve years, I have never had a perm remove the natural curl and replace it with straight hair, on a roller, unless it was severely damaged. If following the instructions to a T caused virgin hair to become this over processed (that has been permed successfully in the past before they grew it out), I cannot recommend it to ANYONE.
5.0 out of 5 stars Product is very reliable and worth the price.
Great product. I have used it at least 6 times and the curl is great. Easy instructions. I will continue to buy.
3.0 out of 5 stars Leaking product
The box was damaged by leaking product. I think there may be enough to perm my short hair but it was a disappointment to smell it when I opened the box.
Good instructions. Successful perm :)
Perm went well! Was used for my son and hockey playoffs. The directions were easy to follow. The results were successful. Note that the papers are not included (some brands do include)
Regular
Apenas lo tuve aplicado unos pocos minutos y me quemó el cabello, el químico era demasiado fuerte para mí fibra capilar.
Quick and easy
Permed the sons mullet and he loves his new curls.
Wonderful perm!!!
Brilliant perm I did quite a curly perm that from the start blow waved easily leaving the hair in wonderful condition really impressed.
Great product
Second time using this perm so happy, I am not a professional in perming my hair but following the instructions was so easy and my perm came out so beautiful. I am surprised at myself.I would recommend this product. Will continue using when needed
