Owners of straight hair always looked enviously at curly women. After all, curls help create a cute playful image. They always look stylish and attractive. That is why many girls decide to curl their hair with chemicals. Thus, they provide themselves with volume and a beautiful hairstyle for every day. Back in 1935, the first perm was done . Hair care after this procedure has since become a hot topic. We will talk about this in our article.
Preparation for the procedure
Before the procedure, experts recommend washing your hair. After all, fat and dirt will prevent penetration into the strands of the reagent. In this case, during washing, you do not need to intensively rub the skin. Just gently apply shampoo and rinse with warm water.
Weakened hair can be cleaned a few days before curling. In this case, a slight fat film on them will only save the curls from excessive damage.
Next, the master applies the composition to wet strands. This ensures uniform penetration into the hair.
It is worth noting that the quality of the future curl will be due to the correct haircut. If horizontal “chemistry” is planned, it is necessary to ensure a smooth transition from long strands to shorter hair. All this will facilitate the curling of curls on bobbins or curlers. Also pay attention to the fact that the length of the strands can affect the success of the entire procedure. For horizontal "chemistry" the best option is hair that does not exceed a length of 20 cm.
Short and long curls
There are also their own characteristics in the preparation and conduct of the procedure. Based on the fact that too short strands cannot be wound correctly on curlers or bobbins, they are not cut before curling. It is better to do this after the procedure.
It is better to lay a long hair with the help of spiral cone-shaped curlers. The result is the so-called vertical chemistry. The technique for performing this procedure is somewhat different. The winding strands begin from the roots, advancing to the ends. This approach makes it easier for the master to work with hair of any length. Special bobbins are perfect for those who want to get even curls. Many girls like just such a perm of hair (photo below).
The choice of a master is a crucial moment
It's no secret that curling hair is a fairly aggressive procedure. Her success and the degree of damage to the strands will largely depend on the professionalism of the master. Therefore, the choice must be approached with all responsibility. What factors should I look for?
1. A good and responsible specialist will start with a test such as your hair. He must also evaluate their condition. If the strands are exhausted, a good master will never undertake to do "chemistry". Previously, he will prescribe a wellness course.
2. An experienced hairdresser should ask what daily care products the client used before the procedure. It is also important for him to know how long the client spent staining. All this information is extremely important. Indeed, for example, the use of shampoos and balms containing silicones can lead to the fact that it will not be possible to form the correct elastic curls. And just dyed hair in general should not be exposed to reagents of the composition for curling.
3. You can distinguish a good master by the fact that he will definitely perform a trial curling of one or two strands. It is also worth asking what products it works with. After all, modern cosmetics are designed specifically to reduce the percentage of damage caused by perm. Curls can be protected from excessive aggressive influence of reagents.
4. Well, of course, a good specialist will definitely give recommendations to the client on the care of curled hair.
Specialist recommendations
Hair care after perming involves not only the use of special products, but also the proper handling of a new hairstyle. Consider the basic principles and tips of professionals.
- During the procedure, the master tells clients that washing their hair will only be necessary on the third day. It’s not worth doing it before. Use special shampoo and warm water. There should not be any aggressive movements. Do not wring or twist strands. It’s better to just get wet with a soft towel with light movements.
- The use of a hair dryer and hair rollers must be postponed for 5 days. Do not use hot air during drying. To preserve the beauty of curls, they must always be stacked after washing the hair using curlers.
- Experts say that curled hair will be better washed in the salon. For drying there you can use a lamp with infrared radiation. It is worth noting that this does not mean at all that you will have to visit the salon too often. After "chemistry" the hairstyle does not become greasy so quickly.
- Caring for a permed hair involves the use of a comb with rare teeth for combing. On the first day after the procedure, this does not need to be done at all. In the future, it is forbidden to comb the strands. These actions will break the curls and give the hair a “washcloth” look.
- After the procedure, you can tint the hairstyle. This will refresh her appearance.
- Also, experts recommend protecting the curls from the harmful effects of the sun. To do this, you can purchase daily care products that contain UV filters. Please note that salt, bleach in water can harm weakened strands. After bathing in the sea or pool, it is necessary to wash everything off with clean water.
If the hair was permed, care after the procedure also involves the use of products for healing. For this, both funds prepared according to folk recipes on their own and products of cosmetic companies are suitable.
Folk Hair Care Products
Among the variety of existing recipes, a mask that has a nourishing, moisturizing effect is suitable for us.
A wonderful result is a mixture of eggs, brown bread, kefir and honey. Preparing a mask is not difficult. Pour a few slices of bread at night with a glass of sour milk. The next day we introduce 2 yolks and two tablespoons of honey into the pulp. Mix everything thoroughly. The composition is applied to the roots and hair and kept for half an hour. After washing off with warm water. To achieve a good result, you must use the product several times a week.
We present to your attention another effective recipe. It is just relevant for those girls who have permed hair. Hair care can provide brandy with honey. To prepare the mask, take a teaspoon of honey, cognac, burdock oil and one yolk. It is necessary to mix all the ingredients and apply the entire length of the strands. We cover the head with a film and insulate with a towel. After a few hours, wash off the mask. This recipe will provide good nutrition to overdried hair.
Warm oils
Fine hair care will help provide natural oils. It is necessary to use them in a warm form. So valuable components penetrate hair better. Olive, burdock or castor oils are perfect for our purposes. They can be used in pure form or to prepare masks based on them.
We will prepare an excellent hair care product after perming. Take two tablespoons of oil (any of the above), add the yolk, 5 g of yeast and a little cream or sour cream to the bowl. Mix the ingredients and carefully rub into the roots, distribute along the entire length of the hair. After half an hour, wash off the mask.

Each of them is designed for one application. Some remedies recommend rubbing only into the scalp. And other products can be distributed along the entire length of the hair. Unique formulas allow you to see the effect almost after the first application. However, it is necessary to undergo a course of treatment (5 to 10 sessions). In the choice, you can rely on the reviews of experts and acquaintances. Also always focus on brands that have worked well.
