Compositions, products, systems, kits, and methods of perming hair may include a first-product (perming lotion) that contains cysteamine and cysteine, such that the first-product is used to break preexisting disulfide bonds in hair, and then a second-product may be applied directly over (on top of) the first-product to neutralize the effects of the first-product without first rinsing the hair to remove the first-product, so that disulfide bonds in the hair may form to set the treated hair into a desired shape with desired curls, waves, texture, and/or style. Various on-the-rod, off-the-rod, and/or perm tools may be used to maintain the hair in the desired shape until the first-product and the second-product have finished acting on the hair and/or on each other. The Compositions, products, systems, kits, and methods of perming hair are vegan, cruelty free, paraben free, sulfate surfactant free, use minimal water, and are without thioglycolic acid.
