With perms still making waves and curly hair trends set to dominate 2022, EveryGreen have launched a new Waving Treatment (£40.92) in salons ensuring beautiful soft waves without the harsh chemicals associated with traditional perms. Created with no ammonia or thioglycolic acid which both cause scalp sensitivity and hair damage, EveryGreen’s innovative formula creates full-bodied, elasticised curls which fade out after 5-6 months removing the need to cut the perm out. The non-aggressive Waving Treatment consists of two elements; Waving Liquid and Universal Neutraliser which are both kind to scalp and hair. Thioglycolic Acid, the harsh ingredient used in traditional perms, is substituted in the Waving Liquid with the gentler option Cysteamine HydroChloride which restructures the hair without damaging it. There is no ammonia in the formula either, which minimises the usual scalp sensitivity as well as any unpleasant odour. It is also silicone and mineral oil free, with no synthethic fragrance or artificial colourants. The Universal Neutraliser does not contain Hydrogen Peroxide which allows the product to work at a neutral pH (between 5-7) instead of the usual acidic pH2-3, so it’s less abrasive on the skin and doesn’t affect the natural colour of the hair. Formulated with active natural ingredients, including hydrolysed rice and soy proteins, organic pomegranate oil and goji berry extract
The Waving Treatment is available in two options – for natural, untreated hair (No 1) and coloured, treated hair (No 2). £40.92 inc vat for the whole system (1 x No 1, 1 x No 2, 1 x Neutraliser) from everygreen.

The Hair and Beauty Charity are still working to support those that need their help. They had over £250,000 donated from professional beauty expert, Caroline Hirons and the Beauty Backed campaign. They have funds available for those people who do need their help; ask them if you need support.
They are a small charity and have to prioritise assistance to those who need it most urgently. Priority will be given to households where only one adult (working within the industry) provides the only income to the household (e.g. if you live with your partner who will still receive an employed wage, priority will be given to single parent families whose only income is dependent on their hair/beauty industry wage). Visit their website for more information and to make an application.
