Chemistry for long hair: light, vertical or large curls. Hair before and after perm. How to style curly hair - video. Caring for curls after the procedure

The popular perm, or permanent, is a way to transform straight, large curls on medium hair into beautiful curls. Looking at the photo of wavy hair, the owner of a straight hair structure often has a desire to do such a hairstyle.

The mechanism is simple, you can perm in the salon or at home. But in this case, the procedure requires certain knowledge, as well as the exact observance of precautions.

Permed hair - large curls on medium hair (the photo gives a visual representation), consists in applying a special composition. The protein contained in the composition enters into a chemical reaction with the main component of the hair shaft - keratin, which softens as a result.

Under the influence of the substance, the hair becomes softer, more elastic, obedient, which makes it easy to change the shape of the hairstyle.

Modern permanent curling is a safe manipulation, but adherence to the rules and precautions is necessary.

The advantages of a perm include:

1. The ability to create extra volume on fine thin hair.
2. For women who live in humid areas and love curly curls, perm is the best long-term way to create a fashionable hairstyle.
3. With a perm, styling can be done less often, the hairstyle is always neat, natural, the hair is obedient.
4. For owners of oily hair, this is a way to dry them out, to regulate the lipid balance.
5. Curls create a spectacular romantic image, give facial features femininity, grace, hiding minor flaws.

disadvantages

The disadvantages of chemical manipulation include:

• Hair stress. Despite the relative safety of the composition, the structure still lends itself to stress.
• Hair requires more gentle care with the use of special cosmetics.
• For owners of straight hair with regrowth of curls, the transition boundary is clearly marked, which has an unaesthetic appearance.
• When applying a chemical mixture, after coloring or bleaching, the reaction can be unpredictable. Most likely, the color will require correction or complete restoration.
• If the owner of the curls decides to change her hairstyle to a smoother one, she will have to resort to the help of an iron. This negatively affects the structure of the rod.
• Owners of dry hair should be careful in choosing the chemical composition for curling, as hair can become even more brittle, lifeless and dry.
• For those living in dry and hot climates, permanent is not the best choice, as it will damage and dehydrate the hair.

Perm types

There are many types of permanent procedures:

1. Acidic. The composition is made on the basis of thioglycolic or mercaptoacetic acids, which penetrate deeply into the structure. Popularity lies in its durability, the permanent lasts more than 6 months. It cannot be called absolutely safe; women with thin dry hair are not recommended to do acid perm.
   
2. Alkaline. The activator-fixer in the composition is a mixture of ammonium and glycolic acid. The procedure is effective, but after it the curls can become more brittle, losing their natural shine. The hair shaft can be destroyed, the fragility of the follicles increases.
   
3. Neutral or gentle. It is characterized by the application of the least aggressive chemical composition, which affects only the top layer. All substances that are used to create a permanent with a lowered pH. It also contains allantoin, which helps soften the stratum corneum and accelerate regeneration after a chemical procedure.
   
4. Bio-curling. Manipulation is an alternative to the acidic formulation, the least negative effect on the structure of the rod. The composition uses only two components - a fixative and a restorer. Cysteamine and glycolic acid present in the human body are used to model curls. The fixative contains vitamins, sea minerals, oils and amino acids, which have a beneficial effect on hair reconstruction.
   
5. Silk... The manipulation is characterized by the use of ammonia-free preparations and a delicate effect. One of the most delicate methods, since collagen and raffinose are additionally included. In synthesis, protein and reserve carbohydrate help to strengthen the core and moisturize the curls.
   
6. Carving. A separate type of light perm, since it is essentially styling. The composition excludes the presence of acids, is enriched with nutrients, carnitines and a vitamin complex. The technique is universal, it can be used for any length of hair, but the disadvantage of carving is fragility with frequent use of the method. A diffuser and special cosmetics are used for styling.
   
7. Japanese, or lipid-protein. Less traumatic than silk, gives a permanent curling effect. Allows you to get rid of excess fat content, since the permanent composition containing matrix, betaine and cysteine \u200b\u200bhas a drying effect. The result of the procedure will be large, strong curls, the effect is observed for 1-1.5 months.
   
   
8. American. Curls are performed in a spiral, curls look natural, you can create small, medium or large curls. A bio-composition or a light chemical permanent is used as a fixative. A separate subspecies of the American technique is Afro-waving. The creation of such a hairstyle is the most time-consuming process, the hair is distributed into small strands and wound on many papillotes.

How to choose a perm

Permed hair for small or large curls for medium hair is selected individually. In the photo you can see various options, but one or another type is selected not only based on aesthetics, but also on the individual characteristics of the hair.

• So, for thin, weakened, prone to dry hair, it is not recommended to choose methods using aggressive chemical compositions. On the contrary, the chemical composition is capable of drying out oily dense hair, and the duration of the effect can be observed up to 6 months or more;
• If a long-term effect is not required, then it is better to give preference to more gentle methods with a bio-composition enriched with useful substances and a lipid-protein complex that does not injure the structure;
• Based on the length, for short hair stylists recommend choosing a large or medium curl in a spiral, and to create additional volume - a root version of the curl. For medium length - large or medium, for long hair - small or large curl. For a light effect on fine, sparse hair, you can create curls from the middle or at the ends.

What is perm hair, description of the procedure:

Technique for bio and chemical hair curling:

For women, everything is simple - cut long hair, extend short hair, straighten curls, make straight hair curly. And men should not try to find logic, they are required to nod and admire any image of their soul mate.

Today we are talking about the transformation of a woman's hair with the help of "chemistry" - an option for obtaining romantic curls that do not lend themselves to conventional curling. Chemistry for long hair will give a chic effect to their owner.

Types of perm

The essence of the issue is to apply a special composition to your own hair that prolongs styling for a certain period. Depending on the type of strands and the desired result, the types of perm are also different. For instance:

Light temporary chemistry - carving

Differs from other options, the use of gentle formulations. If the owner of the head of hair has doubts about the confidence in the relative future state of the strands after the procedure, then it is recommended to make just such an option for the sample.

Its advantages:

1. Suitable for ladies with thin or weak hair. More active components of other types of perm will adversely affect liquid hair. With carving, the strands will become more voluminous, their appearance will improve.
2. Curling options range from "petty imp" to noble curls. Women with long braids should definitely try each of them - it's luxurious and romantic. Light chemistry for medium hair looks no less good.
3. The curling procedure is safe not only in terms of composition and components, but also in terms of duration. for 4-8 weeks of existence. After that, the growing hair is either permed again, or haircuts are waited for.
4. After carving, the strands do not fluff when the composition is gradually washed out of their structure. This is a significant difference between the procedure and other options for curling with heavier chemistry; it favorably serves the way for most fashionistas.

In any case, the use of styling chemicals is always stressful. Even if light chemicals are used for medium or long hair.

After removing and washing out the composition, it is recommended for the hair to rest for 1 month and only, then repeat the procedure.

Spiral, vertical and fine chemistry

The essence of the method lies in the formation of curls on special curlers - vertical bobbins. B, framing the face. Even not too thick hair gains volume.

The option is especially popular with young women with long braids. However, before the procedure, you should consider the following facts:

• Vertical curls are not suitable for every type of face. Before you finally decide on the transformation, you need to "try on" the perm. This is easy to do without a fixing compound.
• As an option for vertical curling - spiral chemistry. It is somewhat more difficult to do and the procedure is expensive, if the length is impressive. Suitable for any type of face.
• It is important to pre-select the volume of curls - from large to African. A short haircut with the latter option will make the owner "Boniface's grandmother" and the key word here is grandmother. For example, like this:

The right composition for vertical chemistry will do the impossible. The look of a long-haired diva conquering men is guaranteed.

What wet chemistry looks like

Contradictory result, I must say. For fixing, foam is used to give the hair a wet look. This head of hair will not suit everyone.

For example, for women with oily hair, it is better not to use the option with wet chemistry. Otherwise, sloppiness will be emphasized. It is better for stately and overweight women to avoid this look, otherwise the overall combination will become ridiculous.

Wet chemistry is great on blondes with a fragile constitution and thin hair. By the way, wet chemistry is another gentle procedure that does not have a destructive effect on the structure of the hair.

Large chemistry for long hair

The actual laying technology is similar to any other. A feature will be the use of large diameter curlers - the wider, the more voluminous. suitable for owners of long hair, significantly below the shoulder line.

Otherwise, the effect will be lost. Owners of thin and sparse hair should not count on a good result - the curls will not be noticeable, and the condition of the strands will noticeably deteriorate. The ideal option would be a cascading haircut + perm on large curlers.

Compositions for creating hair chemistry

Depending on the aggressiveness of the chemical components, the period for maintaining the curls in their original form immediately after the hairdressing salon varies from several weeks to six months.

Unfortunately, the connection is directly proportional: the tougher the recipe, the longer the curling lasts. But health is more important, so let's look at the options:

1. Acids. They are used as part of a curling product and are popular due to their long duration - up to six months. Thin or liquid hair is contraindicated.
2. Alkalis. Somewhat weaker in action - the curls will last up to 4.5 months. Suitable for all hair types.
3. Neutral components. An even shorter term of "curliness", however, and a careful attitude.
4. ... In this case, the curls stay for a long time + the hair remains healthy and well-groomed. The composition is made on the basis of biological components without the use of ammonia.
5. Amino acids. This is a light chemistry - carving, wet. In addition to looking good, the strands are nourished and treated. The damage from additional binders is minimized.

It is important to listen to the master. He will assess the condition of the hair and give the go-ahead for the procedure. In some cases, the use of any formulation is prohibited.

For example, this is due to the problems of the hair and scalp - weakened strands or wounded integuments will become even more deplorable after chemistry.

Salon perm and home technology

For a long time, perm hair has undergone changes for the better. Previously, "atomic" compositions were used for her, which do not guarantee the result, but with a high degree of probability worsen the condition of the hair.

To achieve the effect, they used special hot caps, which help to better reveal the structure of the hair, which, of course, was not good for them. It is worth looking at the current story to compare procedures.

It is not more difficult to carry out the procedure if the best friend takes on the role of a hairdresser. Large curls or small ones are obtained in the same way. Algorithm:

1. Comb your hair thoroughly. Since the last wash, at least a day must pass so that the sebum is in sufficient quantity.
2. The entire mass of hair is divided into square parts. The width of one side is equal to the length of the bobbin.

Then the hair is wrapped in a half-eight, starting from the end of the strand, winding it on a stick. If it is decided to do root chemistry, work is carried out to the end.

1. It remains to apply a chemical solution and leave the hair under it for 20-25 minutes, wrapping your head in a towel. Quick drying with a hairdryer or other apparatus is not allowed - there is a risk of ruining the hair and wounding the scalp.
2. The bobbins are unwound, the head is washed abundantly and the composition is applied. It could be foam. After it has fallen off, the hair is washed again. A perm for medium or long hair is ready.

Now, the weekly treatment is about hair restoration. This can be done, possibly with the help of burdock oil, rubbing it in every time, before washing your hair.

Growth masks containing tinctures of peppers or mustard are excluded. This will cause the already increased dryness of the strands.

Cost of hairdressing salon services - how much does chemistry cost

Professional work is expensive. This is another reason to try to master the procedure at home. The cost depends on the mass and length of the hair. So:

• strands starts from 3 thousand rubles.
• Chemistry for medium hair - from 4 thousand rubles.
• Long ones will cost up to 5 thousand rubles.
• Owners of luxurious "manes" with a length of more than 1 m - up to 6 thousand rubles.

In addition, hairdressing salons offer gentle hair chemistry - bio and keratin. Their price is somewhat more democratic.

So, in order to appear in a romantic way, it is worth taking risks - health, own funds and the willingness to take on a new look.

It's not easy, but change leads to new life - that's the law!

Perming hair is perfect for girls with a perky character: large curls reflect an inner positive and romantic mood.

What are we dealing with?

The procedure involves the destruction of chemical bonds of hair keratin using aggressive substances, and then restoration of the wavy structure with a fixative and curlers

Among the contraindications to the procedure, there is a period of pregnancy and lactation. An individual tolerance test will determine the presence of an allergic reaction to chemical reagents. Before the procedure, it is imperative to apply the composition to the wrist or ear area and monitor the skin reaction for 15 minutes. If itching or redness does not appear, then everything is in order and you can continue to do the perm.

After curling, it is not recommended to dry your hair with a hairdryer, comb and style it. It is also worth refraining from washing your hair for several days. The fulfillment of the conditions will extend the life of the curls for several months.

Types of hair perm

Every girl dreams of becoming a happy owner of airy light curls at least once in her life. However, previous dyeing or improper hair care can lead to hair loss, dull color and other troubles. The beauty industry has stepped forward and offers fashionistas several types of perm, so that you can choose the most suitable for a particular type:

• carving or chemical safe curling;
• permanent curling;
• perm using gentle bio-extracts;
• basal neutral.

Of all the listed types, carving, with the help of specially designed preparations, lies on the hair better than others. Provided that they have not been subjected to other chemical procedures for six months. If you apply aggressive means, with the help of which the curls remain elastic for a long time, on the weakened strands, they can damage the structure. It sometimes takes a long time to fully recover. Damaged hair often needs to be cut. Therefore, it is best to beware of chemicals after staining or discoloration.

If you single out the types of curling according to the chemicals used, there are the following:

• amino acid biowave, which restores the hair structure;
• neutral: gently affects the hair, persistent;
• alkaline - the most harmful and durable;
• acidic has a mild effect on hair, not resistant;
• "Silk wave", which contains silk proteins that do not harm hair and have a beneficial effect on them;
• japanese curling regulates the level of moisture due to the protein complex, which is part of the reagents;
• biowave does not contain ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, therefore it does not injure hair.

For perm, masters use different types of curlers: bobbins, papillotes, wellaformers, large curlers. Depending on the shape that the client wants to get, the master independently chooses which bobbins to use: vertical, horizontal, circular or double winding models.

There are types of perm that are designed specifically for previously colored curls. Some craftsmen use a hat, curling only the tail. In expensive salons, they offer a baby perm service.

Advice!After a perm, it is strongly not recommended to straighten the hair so as not to spoil the strands and not burn the skin.

Curling for short hair: pros and cons

Perming on short hair is risky, because dry curls will sooner or later create a dandelion effect. If the structure of the hair is in good condition, well-groomed curls look perky and flirty. This is especially good when there is no time for morning styling. All you need to do is get your hands wet and tweak your hair.

It is important to remember that after a perm, the strands jump by 2-6 centimeters. Therefore, if you do not want bright experiments with appearance, it is better to give up the idea. You do not need to perform the procedure yourself, as there can be disastrous consequences.

Choosing the right wave type is important to get a memorable bold look. If you need exciting shapes, the intensity and thickness of the curls is performed, roughly for a haircut:

• small curls are perfect for cutting a bob or bob, spiral-shaped or created only at the ends are better;
• large curls are ideal for cascading haircuts - they give a natural look and allow you to experiment with styling.

Advice!To prevent your hair from being in a deplorable state, you need to contact a trusted master. High cost does not guarantee success.

Medium curls: styling methods

The most popular type of loose hairstyle for medium hair is large curls. They not only add a touch of tenderness, but also help to create an elegant look that is suitable for special occasions, everyday life, working in the office and walking with friends.

Choosing a perm, girls count on the correct shape of curls and long-term hairstyle

Benefits of large curls:

• versatility (the hairstyle is suitable for any life situations);
• on medium-length hair, you can use different types of curls (curls can be zigzag, smooth, light and others);
• on medium hair, curls retain their appearance longer;
• defects of the skin of the face and head are visually hidden with the help of a spectacular hairstyle with large curls.

Curls like these always look feminine, stylish and sexy.

There are several types of styling for large curls. Light waves, like those of the heroine from the movie "Pretty Woman", are easily reproduced if the master has made a perm starting from the roots. You need to use vertical curlers.

Corkscrew strands look amazing. Perfectly complement an evening romantic look. The curlers should also be vertical. You don't need to comb hard.

To get "Fast Curls", you need to make a minimum of effort. Just during the morning toilet, the hair is pulled up chaotically. Disheveledness will add charm and sexuality to the image.

Zigzag strands are obtained if the master wraps them with an "accordion" during a perm. The hairstyle is great for evening events, going to the club. However, during the day in the office, the appearance remains charming and effective.

Advice! You can minimize hair loss and preserve hair after an aggressive procedure with the help of professional cosmetics based on natural extracts.

Curls for long hair

Large curls for long hair is a versatile hairstyle that attracts with its lightness, airiness and originality. Such styling is even often chosen by brides on the main day of life. In order for the curls to last all day and not change their shape, stylists recommend to do a perm. It gives your hair a pleasant look for 3-5 months with proper care.

The advantage of curling on long hair is that even when the roots grow back, the haircut does not deteriorate, but, on the contrary, takes on a new character. Therefore, the most persistent perm is considered in this case.

Also the advantage of long hair is that you can use curls of different shapes. Both horizontal and vertical curlers are suitable here, depending on the desired effect.

Large curls look best on a cascade or ladder haircut. Several layers of curls give the mop volume even during high humidity.

Large curls are a ready-made hairstyle. However, it can be modified if you want to surprise your acquaintances with new images. The easiest styling to perform are: "ponytail", "Greek with a rim" and "slight negligence". Straight hair should be discarded for the duration of the perm.

Advice! On thick hair, the curling lasts longer, so before the procedure, it is advisable to do homemade masks, lamination, in order to achieve the effect for longer than three months.

How to care for your hair

Girls with large curls always look amazing in the photo. They give the image enthusiasm, sensuality and romance. The effect depends not only on the condition of the hair, but also on the length. Short permed haircuts create a bold, bold style. And long curled strands are suitable for romantic delicate owners.

To understand whether it is possible to do a perm on your hair without spoiling it, you need to lower a strand into cooled boiled water. If it comes up and does not sink, it is better to postpone the procedure for a while. A drowned hair or hanging in the middle of a glass will tolerate the effects of aggressive drugs calmly.

The toughest and thickest hair is considered natural red and black. Therefore, they are more difficult to curl. This also includes Asian strands, which are famous for their straightforwardness.

In order for the perm to please the owner not only at the moments of the photo session, but also in everyday life, you need to follow the rules of care:

• Choose a mild shampoo that restores structure.
• It is best to use your fingers or a comb, which has sparse teeth, for styling.
• Leave curls slightly damp while drying. Overdrying has a detrimental effect on hair.

Permed hair: reviews

Any procedure for creating beauty artificially causes a lot of discussions that may reflect a real situation or prejudice. There are many opinions about perm, but one cannot argue that large curls refresh the face, make it younger and more beautiful. So is the beauty worth such sacrifices?

The benefits of perm include:

• there is no need for everyday styling, so time is saved and the hair is not treated with fixing agents;
• the shape of the curls remains even during strong moisture and light rain;
• excess fat is removed from the hair;
• thin hair becomes voluminous and lush.

Among the negative factors, girls distinguish:

• brittle and dry hair after the procedure;
• hair color becomes lighter;
• if you break the curling technique, a burn may remain on the scalp;
• an allergic reaction sometimes occurs to certain components.

Irina, 35 years old: The hair after the procedure became brittle and dull, which led to a short haircut to renew the hair.

Alina, 24 years old: I have been curling for four years in a row, while regularly dyeing my hair red. The masters scare that I will leave the salon bald, but every time I return home with amazing curls. At home, I feed my hair with masks in order to strengthen the curls, because hairdressers strongly insist.

Angela, 28 years old: Not every hairdresser can make perfect curls, and even voluminous ones. You need experience and the ability to find an individual approach to the client.

In recent years, many women began to do perm hair with large curls, because it makes our hair stylish and luxurious.

It is especially relevant for those whose curls do not differ in large volume.

Before choosing such a styling method for yourself, you need to figure out what it is, what features and pitfalls it has, look at the styling photo.

Perm is a long-term curling that eliminates the need to style your hair every day.

The term of such laying depends on which reagent, as well as the diameter of the bobbins, was used for the procedure. Some have curls lasting for several weeks, and some from three to nine months.

Perm in the photo:

Today there are a large number of types of perm, and it is important to decide which one you choose for yourself.

First of all, the types of perm are distinguished by reagents:

• acidic - short-lived and soft curling of strands;
• alkaline - long-lasting curls are obtained, which are often severely injured;
• neutral - acts as gently as acid, but the curls are more durable;
• biowave based on amino acids that support and restore the structure of each hair.

Types of curling, depending on the types of curlers:

• on bobbins;
• on spiral bobbins;
• on papillotes;
• on large curlers;
• on wellaformers.

The arrangement of the bobbins can also be different - vertical, horizontal, circular, as well as with double winding.

In case the hair was highlighted, dyed or lightened shortly before the procedure, different methods of curling are chosen.

You can curl the whole head, just the tail or roots, there is also the concept of a baby curl. Experienced craftsmen often combine different styling methods to create new types of curls.

You should know that despite the fact that all experts ardently assure you of the safety of chemistry, even a procedure with the most gentle reagents still damages every hair, breaks its structure.

If you have dry hair, then chemistry will make your hair even drier, brittle, porous, and unruly.

If your scalp is oily, then a perm will normalize the sebaceous glands and help get rid of this problem.

How does the curling process take place?

Over the many years during which women have been using this styling method, its effect has practically not changed - the active substance destroys the keratin bonds of each hair, and they take the form of curlers, after which the effect is fixed with a special tool and restores the structure of the damaged hair.

The duration of the procedure depends on the desired end result, the condition of the hair, the density of the hairs, and the drug used for curling.

Before starting the process, be sure to run some tests to determine if the procedure will be safe for you.

If your master does not conduct such tests, then you should think about his professionalism. First of all, you need to determine how your body will react to the reagent that is used for the procedure.

To do this, a little reagent is applied to the skin on the wrist or behind the ear and the reaction is monitored for 10-15 minutes.

If itching, redness or other discomfort occurs, it is forbidden to use the reagent in your case.

In addition, you need to find out how your curls will react to the whole process, and whether they will curl as a result. There are some hairs that simply do not lend themselves to curling, so it is a shame if the procedure is wasted.

Take your time to do the tests, as they will help you maintain the beauty of your hair and overall health.

If all the tests ended positively, then the head is washed, dried, cut if necessary and the curling process begins.

Curling process in the photo:

The hair is divided into strands and wrapped on bobbins. Apply a reagent to them and maintain the required time, depending on what intensity of curls you want.

After the allotted time, a special fixing element is applied, without loosening the curls, and kept for some time.

If you have chosen a rather aggressive reagent for curling, then after curling the hair is restored with special means.

After the end of the procedure, the head should not be washed for two to three days, as well as styled, combed and dried with a hairdryer.

Compliance with all the rules for caring for curled curls will significantly extend their service life.

You should know that thick hair needs to be curled longer, but the effect will last for several months, and thin curls will be visible for a maximum of three months.

Chemistry while waiting for a baby, breastfeeding, critical days of the month, treatment with antibiotics or hormones is strictly prohibited.

Also, you can not perform the procedure with high pressure, headache, and hunger.

How do large curls curl?

Large curls are incredibly beautiful and will adorn both long and short hair. Large curls are used to perm the hair with large curls.

Curls can be of different densities - tight or light and delicate - this is regulated by the reagent holding time on the strands.

Large curls for short and long curls should be done a little differently.

If the hair is long, then the curl will quickly unwind under the weight of the strand, and the desired volume will no longer be near the roots.

Of course, such curls will look very natural, but for the uniformity of the curls, experts use bobbins of different diameters.

To make a perm look beautiful and luxurious, it is better to cut long hair, a cascade haircut is ideal.

If you have thin and sparse hairs, then curling with large curls will not create the desired volume on your hair, in this case, choose smaller curls for yourself.

If you have chosen a bio-curl for your head of hair, then you should know that this gentle perm does not allow you to create tight curls, but only light wavy strands that look like natural on long hair.

But if you want tight curls, especially for short hair, then use an alkaline perm to achieve the desired effect.

Experts suggest curling short hair in different ways.

A root perm will well refresh short hairstyles, which raises the hair and makes it visually voluminous and luxurious.

Often specialists curl short hair only at the ends. Such curls look very impressive.

But owners of medium-length hair can choose any method of curling for themselves, since this length is almost universal and allows you to create any curls.

Caring for curls after the procedure

After a specialist has done chemistry for you, you need to take care of your hair in a special way.

First of all, you need to know that frequent washing is undesirable for chemically damaged hair, but the use of mild shampoos and conditioners is a must.

Apply a regenerating mask to your hair about once a week to help bring your hair back to life.

After shampooing, don't leave the towel on your hair, just blot your curls and leave to dry naturally.

If you still need to dry your head urgently, then dry them with a hairdryer, but only with cold air. You can't go to bed with wet hair either.

If your hair is very dry after this procedure, you need to return it to a healthy and shiny look.

Treatment can be done both in the salon and at home using special medicinal oils, ampoules or homemade masks.

The best ingredients for homemade recipes are oils, eggs, onion juice, cognac, red pepper tincture.

After chemotherapy, the hair loses its natural shine and frizz. It is better to comb them with a rare comb, and it is better to forget about brushes.

There are special leave-in mousses on sale that will protect your curls from UV rays, a hair dryer, and other negative influences.

The ends of the hair will be very dry, so it is better to cut them off.

Owners of straight strands often complain that it is very difficult to make a hairstyle out of them. Indeed, even with an abundance of varnish, curls curled with ordinary curlers or a curling iron straighten too quickly. Of course, perming hair for large curls helps to cope with the problem, but this method has its pitfalls. Today we will tell you about the types of such styling, as well as its pros and cons. So let's go.

How is perm hair done? Large curls?

Before deciding on a radical transformation, you should know the principle of the perm. The effect on the hair structure during such a procedure occurs twice. At first, under the influence of special reagents, the scales lose their elasticity and open up. Then they close again, and, since the curls are curled in curlers, thanks to the chemicals that have fixing properties, they retain their shape.

The exposure time to the strands depends on the following factors:

• type of chemicals;
• the desired elasticity of the curls;
• hair structure, thickness and condition.

Before starting the procedure, the master conducts a small test for the individual tolerance of chemical reagents. A drop of this substance is applied to the wrist and wait about 15 minutes. If no reaction has occurred, proceed directly to the curling process:

• hair is not divided into small strands, each of which is alternately processed by the selected composition and twisted on bobbins;
• after a certain time, the head is washed without removing the bobbins;
• a fixative is applied to them;
• wait a few minutes;
• the fixative is washed off with warm water.

Advice!Karl Nessler, a German hairdresser, not only has the idea of \u200b\u200ba permanent, that is, a perm, but also false eyelashes and eyebrows. His apparatus, capable of permanently turning straight strands into tight curls, he demonstrated to the public back in 1908.

Perm types

Depending on the composition used, such a perm is divided into:

• acidic: the longest in time, but also the most aggressive, dries the strands too much; more suitable for coarse and thick hair;

• alkaline: most common; the curls are quite tight, the effect on thin and light hair lasts up to 3 months, tough strands are straightened in a month;

• neutral: applies even to weakened and damaged strands; keeps well even on thick hair up to 3-4 months;
• silk: the proteins contained in the solution gently affect the structure, the curls straighten after a couple of months;
• biowave: amino acid preparations used in this method are as similar as possible to the structure of hair; the curls are not too tight and straighten only after 1-3 months;

• japanese on the basis of a lipid-protein complex; has a healing effect, it is allowed to be performed simultaneously with highlighting or staining, lasts up to 5 months.

Advice! The final result depends not only on the composition used, but also on the general condition of the body. The shape and appearance of curls can be influenced not only by hormonal changes, but also, for example, by severe nervous stress.

Curl shape

If the durability of styling directly depends on the chemical composition of the drugs used, then the shape and size of the curls is determined by the type of bobbins - a special type of curler on which the hair is wound during curling. When choosing their type, an experienced master always focuses on the structure of the strands, the type of hairstyle and the type of face:

• perm on pigtails: used only for curls of medium length or very long; they are first braided in tight pigtails, and only then they are wound on special bobbins;

• on hairpins: metal devices in the form of a bent thin rod;
• with twisting: to obtain curls of different sizes, several types of bobbins are used;
• vertical: gives the effect of wet hair; do only for long curls, which are very tough;

• children's: do not worry, children's hair is not permed, this name is due only to the fact that this method is the most gentle; a rubber cap is put on the head to protect the roots from the effects of reagents;
• twins: the work uses two types of curlers, horizontal and vertical;
• basal: only the roots and the area adjacent to them are processed; the method is used to curl overgrown roots or create volume only in this area;

• american: tight curls are obtained using spiral curlers;
  bubble: the strands are processed with a special apparatus with a compressor, whipping the chemical reagent until bubbles saturated with oxygen.

Bobbin size

Depending on the size, such curlers are divided into:

• small;
• large;
• especially large.

Perming hair (see photo) for large curls has an undeniable advantage, as it looks as natural as possible. Medium or even very small bobbins are best used on thick and dense strands - after all, large ones quickly straighten on them. Small vertical curls are most often used to create the effect of wet hair.

• horizontal;
• vertical (spiral bobbins are used);
• round;
• double.

Advice! To reduce the negative impact on the strands of chemicals, proteins and amino acids are introduced into them. However, their excess leads to a decrease in the resistance of the curling.

Pros and cons of curling

Of course, chemistry has many advantages:

• hair after it becomes more obedient and easily fit into any hairstyle;
• she looks much more voluminous, and her hair is more magnificent;
• the use of modern formulations causes them minimal harm, therefore, with proper care, the strands look well-groomed.

Unfortunately, she has no less disadvantages:

• after this procedure, the hair is dry, so it requires careful care; moreover, any, even the most gentle perm has a negative effect on the structure of the strands; if an inexperienced master incorrectly determines the concentration of the solution or overexposes the composition on the hair, they will turn into lifeless tow;
• suffers from perm and scalp, at first, dandruff may even appear;
• hairstyle without styling does not look very presentable;
• getting rid of boring curls will not be so easy;
• after processing the strands with chemical compounds, the curls for the first time exude a not very pleasant aroma; it disappears only after 1-2 weeks.

Long curls

Perm for large curls on long hair looks the most impressive: at the roots, the curls straighten slightly under the weight of the weight, and at the ends they twist into tight rings. Their number can be adjusted by selecting the chemical composition of the preparation and the type of bobbins. If desired, the strands can be given additional splendor with the help of a cascading haircut or a small graduation.

Despite the fact that perm is not considered a difficult procedure, it is still better to contact an experienced master. Indeed, in the presence of creases and noticeable transitions, the hairstyle will look sloppy.

Advice! Thick and heavy hair is much harder to handle. When curling them, it is desirable to use the strongest acidic solutions.

Curling for medium hair

Ladder, bob or bob haircuts are perfectly combined with mischievous curls. Depending on the thickness of the hair and the desired result, you can choose both traditional acid or alkaline curls, as well as more gentle biochemistry.

The work uses large or small bobbins, hairpins or spirals. After perming medium-length hair into large curls, the hair is less tangled and easy to style. To create small curls on the bangs, use a solution of a lower concentration.

Advice!Biowave is ideal for hair prone to oily content, as it is able to regulate the sebaceous glands. But dry hair should not be exposed to even sparing compounds - after all, such reagents make them even more porous, and they begin to get very confused.

Curling for short hair

Just like when creating hairstyles for long or medium strands, when curling for short hair, the shape and volume of the waves is selected depending on the type of haircut and the thickness of the strands. It is better to arrange a bob or square with not too tight curls of a small diameter or curls in the form of a spiral.

With a round, rectangular or square face, strands sticking out to the side will make it even wider, so it is better to prefer a perm for short hair with the largest curls on vertical bobbins. They also use options in which their size is combined. With an oval classic face, the size and shape of the bobbins can be any.

Advice! It is not recommended to do a perm during menstruation - after all, it will not hold on. Moreover, due to hormonal changes occurring in the body these days, the reaction will be unpredictable.

Curling at home

If you decide to master this procedure on your own, try to use the most gentle drugs. After all, if you pick up an acidic or alkaline composition that is too concentrated, which is absolutely not suitable for your type of strands, then you will simply burn them. So, we will describe the process of perm in stages:

• since any reagents are quite aggressive, so as not to injure the hair once again, they should not be dyed for at least 20 days; it is also advisable to treat the locks in advance;
• the preparations are applied only to dirty hair - they should not be washed for 2-3 days;
  there should not be even the smallest wounds and injuries on the head;
• for hair of medium thickness, you will need 60–80 curlers;

• you can see the strands on the back of the head if you install two large mirrors one opposite the other;
• divide your hair with partings into separate strands; those that are not yet participating in the work, secure with clamps;
• the reagent is applied with a small brush or foam sponge as quickly as possible;
• to make the curls look natural, pay special attention to the tips - they should be oiled as much as possible and twisted very tightly; closer to the roots, wind them on bobbins a little weaker;
• after the time specified in the instructions, wash the head without removing the bobbins;
  then a fixative is applied to them;
• after a few minutes (this time is also indicated by the manufacturer), the head is finally washed and dried without using a hair dryer;
• to neutralize the effect of drugs, it is better to rinse it with water with the addition of a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar of low concentration.

Advice! To keep the curls longer, you should not wash your hair for the first two days. Do not rub them and twist them hard while drying, as well as make tight braids and tails.
