Iso Option is a professional, thio-free perm system. Instead of conventional thioglycolate, it uses naturally derived waving agents — Isohaline and Isoamine — that penetrate evenly without aggressively lifting the cuticle. There are four Options; choosing the right one is most of the result.
Option 1 — normal and previously permed hair
For body, separation and a loose, beachy, free-moving texture. The softest look of the four.
Option 2 — colour-treated hair
Formulated with Isoamine for every type of colour-treated hair, leaving the cuticle supple and smooth. Process for no more than 20 minutes; higher porosity processes faster.
Option 3 — normal to resistant hair
Extra-firm, glamorous curl for hair that resists waving, with ingredients designed to diffuse more evenly than conventional perms.
Option EXO — long and resistant hair
A thermally activated (exothermic) wave for longer, resistant lengths that need a stronger, more energized result.
Quick decision guide
- Natural or previously permed, want soft body → Option 1
- Coloured or highlighted → Option 2
- Resistant hair, want firm curl → Option 3
- Long, resistant hair → Option EXO
Rod choice
Small to medium hard-surface rods give full-circle curl; large soft tools give a wave. Always take a test curl.
FAQ
Do I need heat?
Options 1, 2 and 3 process at room temperature; EXO is self-heating once activated.
Can I perm lightened hair?
Check the condition carefully first and choose Option 2; heavily lightened or relaxed hair can break.
