My stylist said he would clarify my hair before perming it. What is this service?

Before perming, your stylist will shampoo your hair with a clarifying shampoo or give you a clarifying treatment to eliminate mineral or styling product build-up on the hair. These clarifying shampoos or treatments used before chemical services like a perm allow the solutions to penetrate more evenly, resulting in a more even curl pattern.
