What is the name of the chemical service designed to change tightly curled hair to curly or wavy hair?

The correct answer is the chemical service designed to change tightly curled hair to curly or wavy hair is known as curl reformation. This service effectively transforms the texture of the hair by loosening the tightly coiled curls and reshaping them into waves or curls that are more elongated and relaxed.

Curl reformation utilizes specific chemical agents to break down the natural bonds in the hair, allowing for reshaping. It is distinct from other processes because it specifically targets the alteration of tightly curled textures, enabling clients to achieve a softer, more manageable curl pattern while maintaining some degree of curl definition.

In contrast, permanent waves typically create structured curls and waves in straight or slightly wavy hair, hair smoothing treatments generally aim to reduce frizz and make the hair more manageable without altering curl patterns drastically, and thermal reconditioning focuses on straightening the hair permanently rather than reshaping curls. Understanding these nuances helps distinguish curl reformation from other chemical services in hair treatments.
