I was taught the 'no neutralizer' trick when I went to a hairpiece seminar at Onrite.  I guess the neutralizer does damage to the extension hair.  The perm will self-neutralize within 24-28 hours if you let it sit undisturbed.
 
Good luck!Smile
 
 
I have also heard of this and was told exactly the same thing... that it's the neutralizer that does the damage..  I think long ago you had to sleep in those rods.... (I amost remeber something like that)   ???

Iorder my hair wholesale and it normally comes either straight or with a very slight body wave, i have some clients who require more of a wave and had a cunning plan to braid a bundle of hair, maybe 1oz (or smaller for more of a curl) and put perming solution on it, has anyone tried this or have any tips? may do an experiment out of curiosity, do you think it will work? dont want to waste too much hair trying!
