ISO Option 1 Damage-Free Wave for Normal Hair. If you're seeking a reliable, damage-free perm solution that respects the integrity of your client’s hair while delivering touchable, defined waves, ISO Option 1 is the trusted choice for beauty professionals worldwide. This thio-free formula is expertly crafted for normal and previously permed hair, giving stylists total control without compromise. It’s not just a perm—it’s a transformation, designed for clients who want movement, texture, and the ultimate beach-inspired bounce.

This permanent wave solution provides soft, separated curls with a natural flow that looks as effortless as it feels. Whether your client wants more body in their blowouts or a loose, lived-in look with lasting definition, ISO Option 1 delivers dependable results every time.

Perfect for Normal & Previously Permed Hair

ISO Option 1 was formulated to meet the needs of hair types that fall in the middle of the porosity spectrum—hair that isn't dry or resistant, but also not overly fragile. It works beautifully on previously permed hair as well, revitalizing texture and restoring the bounce without overprocessing or damaging the existing curl structure.

Thanks to its carefully balanced chemistry, this formula offers consistent performance across different porosity levels and allows stylists to create the kind of definition that adds personality and polish to any style. Whether you're retexturizing for versatility or adding a modern wave to a classic cut, this is the professional-grade option your salon can count on.

Thio-Free Formula: A Gentler Choice

Many traditional perm solutions rely on ammonium thioglycolate, a harsh chemical that can cause dryness, damage, and breakage. ISO Option 1 takes a different approach. Its thio-free formula redefines what a wave solution can be, offering a gentler, safer experience without sacrificing results.

This is especially valuable for clients concerned about chemical damage or who are seeking healthier alternatives for textural services. By using ISO Option 1, you’re offering a premium service that emphasizes both beauty and hair health—values your clientele will appreciate and come back for.

Creates Free-Moving Texture & Natural Volume

Today’s clients aren’t looking for tight, artificial curls—they want soft waves that look like they were born with them. ISO Option 1 creates those picture-perfect results: loose texture, bouncy movement, and hair that catches the light just right. Think beachy, think editorial, think freedom. This product is for stylists who want to enhance—not overpower—a client's natural beauty.

The final result is hair that is:

  • Soft and touchable with no crunchy residue
  • Perfectly separated for definition without frizz
  • Lightly voluminous with a lived-in finish
  • Consistently curled from root to tip
  • Ready for air-dry styles or post-perm heat styling

Professional-Grade Performance You Can Count On

When you're performing chemical services, quality and reliability matter. ISO Option 1 has been a go-to in professional salons for years thanks to its consistent results, easy-to-use formulation, and minimal reapplication needs. Its balanced formula processes evenly, helping reduce the risk of over-processing or weak wave patterns.

As a stylist, your work speaks volumes about your skills—and this product supports your artistry with a predictable, client-pleasing outcome every time. Whether you're building texture into a bob, softening layers with movement, or creating foundation for long-lasting blowouts, ISO Option 1 gets the job done right.

How to Use ISO Option 1

This one-application system includes everything needed for one full perm service. Apply to clean, damp hair after wrapping the desired rods. Follow processing instructions carefully based on hair texture and porosity. Rinse thoroughly, neutralize as directed, and style as desired. Remember, this system is designed for professional use only—always assess the client's hair condition prior to treatment.

Professional tip: Always use a clarifying shampoo pre-perm for optimal absorption and a lightweight, pH-balanced neutralizer to seal the cuticle and lock in curl definition.
