The present invention provides improved perming agents and perming methods which can minimize damage to hair and simplify perming processes simultaneously and also can relieve a pain of a subject to be permed by shortening time required for a perming operation. The present invention uses a perming agent containing 2-7% of one kind or more than two kinds of mercaptan selected from thioglycolic acid, salt of thioglycolic acid, cysteine and acetyl cysteine and 1.5-17.5% of one or more than two kinds of disulfide selected from dithiodiglycolic acid, salt of dithiodiglycolic acid and cysteine, with a mixing ratio of disulfide to mercaptan being 0.75-2.5 to induce simultaneous progression of oxidation and reduction and, when necessary, in combination with a second agent containing an oxidizing agent for giving permanent wave to hair or curing wavy hair.

The permanent shaping agent containing one or more hair keratin-reducing active substances is adjusted by means of stiffening additives to a consistency that is viscous to cream-like at room temperature with a viscosity of over 100 mPa.times.s. The stiffening additives are selected such that the permanent shaping agent, upon warming to a temperature with a temperature range between 25.degree. and 42.degree. C., undergoes a decided loss of viscosity of over 60% with respect to the initial viscosity, to a value under 50 mPa.times.s, i.e., becomes fluid within this temperature range. The permanent shaping agent of raised viscous or creamy consistency is applied to curled hair on curlers and then the viscosity of the permanent shaping agent is lowered, by elevating its temperature in situ, so that the liquified agent penetrates into the hair on the curlers.
