Great product

Includes everything you need except the rods. I've used this product for years and it's not failed me yet.

At $5. this is the best kit I have found and it worked better than any of the others...

I have been doing it all wrong. LOL. I was purchasing expensive perm kits and the results have continually sucked. So, I went to a salon, two times for one perm because the first didn't take at all and the second sucked. I had a girlfriend do it with a moderately expensive $20 perm kit, and it came out OK, but not great. So, I was due, and figured, well, the reviews on Amazon say this is a good product. It is different in many respects. One, it has a pre-conditioner for your hair to enhance the curling. Never say that before. Traditional conditioner interferes with the perm, but not this. It helps detangle the hair and it makes it easier to curl. A second difference is it has a finish conditioner to leave in the hair AFTER the perm is over. Never say that before either. Works great right after the perm is done to keep it from frizzing and drying out. It comes with the paper wraps. LOL. Oh, and it comes with great instructions. That is new. LOL. In the instructions it says something no other perm kit I have seen, which admittedly is not many, say. The other perm kits all say to stop the perm process no later than 20 minutes after the curling product is in the hair. THIS ONE SAYS 45 MINUTES FOR TOUGH TO PERM HAIR!! I did 45 minutes, and it curled perfectly for the first time. This $5.00 product had better instructions and a couple of extras that made this the best perm kit I have had thus far, and one I would use repeatedly in the future. No reason to pay any more. The BAD...well...they do economize on a couple of things. It does not provide a set of cheapo plastic gloves, but we had some so that was OK. It also does not provide the plastic shower cap, which is a must. So get come, they are cheap, like 10c. That was not so OK, because we did not have one and it took some improvising. It comes with the cotton coil, which is great, but it is not big enough to wrap around the head of an infant. So get some. The shortcomings are easily corrected the second time around for me, but now you know them so you can adapt. This is a great product at any price. At $5. it is an incredible product.

Great product!

Always does a good job. The extra conditioning helps keep it from frizzing.

Great Product!

I've used Olgivie perms for several years. It always turns out well, providing me with the curl and body I'm looking and lasting 3 months or so. It can vary slightly depending on the timing I use. I appreciate that it does not have the old "permanent" smell and the pre-conditioner and leave-in conditioner really help in preventing frizzy ends, etc. The price and the availibility is a Amazon is a bonus.

Permed my hair and it came out the same as ...

Permed my hair and it came out the same as paying a stylist $60. Will be using this perm kit from now on and spend my savings on food.

Great Product - Read All Instructions - Use the Right Roller Size

I like soft curls on the crown of my head. When I perm myself, I only do the top with 10-12 rollers. I make sure to saturate the rollers with the perm solution (1/2 bottle only and toss the rest), but I use all of the neutralizer. It's difficult to roll my short hair b/c the hair is always slipping out of the tiny curlers. So this time, I used two 3/4" mini claw barrettes to hold each curler in place AND IT WORKED. I was willing to toss the barrettes if they became rusted but that didn't happen. It kept my rollers in place and viola, I got my curls this time. I've been using Ogilvie for a few years now and it's never burned my hair but you do have to read all of the instructions before starting. Know the size of your curlers and how you want it done (bigger rollers at crown, smaller rollers at bottom, etc.). 5-12-19 Update (Mother's Day): Just permed my hair today and re-read instructions. It tells you the whole process will take 2-hrs. to complete. You'll need to wash your hair first and apply the pre-perm serum and wait 15-mins. under a hot towel (towel cooled down so I continued to use the hair dryer under low hot heat). Then rinse and blot dry. Roll up your hair and applied the perm solution (1/2 bottle for short hair). Use chart for wait time and then rinse. Blot hair dry and then apply the neutralizer for 5-mins. Gently remove curlers, paper and claws; rinse (no shampoo) and apply the stay-in conditioner. Use fingers to comb thru curls and allow hair to air dry. No shampoo for 48-hrs. and avoid pulling/tugging when drying your hair for the 1st week unless your curls are too tight. Works every time. For women with medium-long hair, you may need two boxes. Don't add too much hair on each curler or perm solution won't soak in. Good luck!

It works, got a curl in the hair, ...

It works, got a curl in the hair, my wife has been searching for this every where, its all sold out where she was getting it, hope to order more soon.

I now have great curls

This gave great curl for about three months.Next time I will leave it in longer and maybe use smaller rods.I really like the effect and will definitely use it again.

Very easy to use

I love this hair product. I've been buying this regularly to maintain the waves on my medium length hair. I have color treated hair, but still find this perming lotion in blue box to be the best one to use. Very easy and quick, because I only keep the perming lotion on my hair no longer 5 minutes, wash it off quickly, and put neutralizer for 10 minutes for perfect waves. Love this product because it adds great volume to my otherwise straight, limp hair.
