The name "digital perm" is trademarked by a Japanese company, Paimore Co. Hairstylists usually call it a "hot perm." A normal perm requires a perm solution and a neutralizer. A digital perm requires a (different) solution plus heat. This type of perm is popular in several countries, including South Korea and Japan.
