For which hair condition are acid perms particularly suitable?

Acid perms are particularly suitable for highly porous hair because this type of hair tends to be more fragile and can be more susceptible to damage from harsh chemicals. Acid perms utilize a gentler approach to chemical processing, typically having a lower pH than alkaline perms. This makes them ideal for highly porous hair, as the lower pH helps to minimize the risk of further damage while still allowing for a good curl formation.

Highly porous hair has already experienced some level of damage or has lost moisture, making it crucial to choose a perm that won’t exacerbate these issues. Acid perms are formulated to create softer, more natural-looking waves and curls while being less drying than other types of perms, thus protecting the integrity of porous strands. This compatibility helps achieve desired results while maintaining the health of the hair.

In contrast, the other hair conditions listed would not experience the same level of benefit from acid perms as they may require different formulations that cater to their specific structural needs or level of treatment.
