FAQ - Graham TrueWave End Papers

Q: What are Graham TrueWave End Papers used for?
A: Graham TrueWave End Papers are professional perm end papers used to protect hair ends during perming and chemical waving services. They are placed between the hair ends and the perm rod to create a smooth barrier, preventing "fishhooks" (bent, damaged ends) and ensuring uniform curl formation from roots to ends. They can also be used with electric or steam rollers to keep ends smooth and prevent hair from catching on roller grips .

Q: What sizes are available?
A: Graham TrueWave End Papers are available in three sizes :

• Regular: 2.25" x 3.25" – Standard size for most perm rods and roller types

• Jumbo: 4" x 2.5" – Larger size for maximum coverage and longer hair 

• Super Jumbo: 3" x 4.25" – Extra-large size for thick or long hair 

Q: How many papers come in a pack?
A: Each TrueWave box contains 1,000 end papers . The self-dispensing box allows for easy, one-at-a-time access during busy salon services.

Q: What are the key features of TrueWave End Papers?
A: Key features include :

• High wet strength – Maintains integrity when saturated with perm solution; resists tearing

• Superior absorbency – Helps hold perming solution against the hair for even saturation

• Self-dispensing box – Convenient tear-out opening for quick, hygienic access

• Tamper-proof packaging – Ensures product freshness and protection

• Acid-free paper – Safe for all hair types, including color-treated and chemically processed hair 

Q: Are TrueWave End Papers strong enough for wet perming?
A: Yes. The papers are specifically designed with high wet strength retention, staying intact even when fully saturated with perm solution . This prevents the paper from disintegrating during processing, which can lead to messy rod removal and inconsistent curls.

Q: Can TrueWave End Papers be used with heat rollers?
A: Yes. Professionals report using TrueWave end papers with electric rollers and steam rollers to keep hair ends smooth and prevent uneven ends from wrapping around the roller . The papers help protect the hair ends from direct heat contact and ensure a smooth finish.

Q: Are Graham TrueWave End Papers acid-free?
A: Yes. The manufacturer confirms the end papers are acid-free, meaning they will not react chemically with perm solutions or color-treated hair .

Q: Do these end papers contain any fragrance?
A: According to manufacturer specifications, TrueWave End Papers are unscented/fragrance-free . They do not contain added perfumes that could potentially interfere with perm solution chemistry or irritate sensitive clients.

Q: What is the difference between Regular, Jumbo, and Super Jumbo sizes?
A: Size selection depends on hair length and roller type
