Had a nightmare week with a perm that went wrong on 4 clients in a row

Honestly last Tuesday was brutal. I had this perm solution that I've used for years and suddenly three clients back to back had their hair over-process and get gummy. Then a fourth one came in for a touch up and her ends snapped off. I think the batch might have been bad or maybe I left it on a few minutes too long in the Denver humidity. Has anyone else dealt with a whole day of perms going south like that? What did you figure out was the cause?

Was it a new batch or did the weather mess with your timing?

Wait, was this the batch I dropped on my deck or the one that sat in the mailbox for three extra days? Honestly it felt like the weather was just messing with my head, not the baking soda itself. I mean, I blame the humidity more than my own planning skills (which is convenient, right?). My cookies came out flat as pancakes, but they still tasted okay, so maybe it was just me being lazy with the mixer.

Hang on, is it really that big of a deal? People act like a slightly flat cookie is a full on kitchen tragedy. Maybe just call them "chewy" and move on with your day, right?
