What is a permanent, excites those who have heard about fashion trends in the field of cosmetology and hairdressing. Interest is shown by those who are already ready to change their appearance, but are not familiar with the principle of this method. The article talks about what these methods are and how they work.
What it is
To the question of what a permanent is, not only cosmetology answers. The word has several meanings, presented even in mathematics. But in this case, it will be about the techniques of working with the exterior.
In the broadest sense, a permanent is a way to curl hair. Perm waving lasts a very long time, compared with other methods of exposure to hair. The effect lasts up to six months. The essence of the procedure is to use special chemical compounds to change the structure of the hair (and more specifically, the location of the protein molecules in the hair) so as to give them the desired shape. In a specific case, make curly from straight hair.
If a hot effect on the hair with the help of a curling iron or a hair curler creates a short-term effect, then the permanent gives shape for a long time.
What is a permanent, cosmetology also knows. Recently, the so-called permanent makeup has become popular - long-term coloring of the necessary parts of the face (eyebrows, lip contour) to give them the necessary shape.
Eyebrow Permanent
Not everyone, by nature, has eyebrows of sufficient density of ideal shape. When a girl knocks down in search of a master who can help create them in various ways (build-up, coloring) or gets tired of constant corrections and everyday care, she stops at a more radical way. It is about permanent makeup of eyebrows.
Permanent eyebrow is a technique that combines cosmetology and tattooing. It involves the introduction of a special agent into the skin - a dermopigmentator, which leaves a “pattern”. Thus, the desired shape of the eyebrows is drawn, which lasts a very long time (even several years, depending on the quality of the dye).
Permanent eyebrow makeup differs from classic makeup in that it allows you to create a more natural color and appearance of eyebrows in general. An individual color is selected depending on the color of the skin and hair: shades of black, gray, chestnut or red.
Permanent involves the use of several techniques to create the perfect shape and density of eyebrows:
- shading, in which the desired contour of the eyebrow is painted gradiently, without clear lines and borders; this creates the effect of eyebrows tinted with pencil or ink;
- hair technique involves drawing individual hairs along the desired "path"; this method allows you to further increase the volume of hairs using dye of different shades;
- a combination of the two previous techniques gives a third - 3D makeup; it gives a richer result in the form of a clear contour and thorough shading.
The first two methods are more in demand recently, since they give the most natural result.
Hair permanent
To create persistent curls, the hair is treated with various compositions: alkaline, acidic or exothermic. Each of them is designed for different hair and acts in its own way. The first is used for curling healthy, dense hair, the second for weak and damaged hair, the third acts as a strong heater.
Now you can choose any degree of curling. A large permanent involves winding hair into large curlers, which ultimately gives large curls. Permanent from the roots creates additional volume to the hair. The spiral look is suitable for curling long hair, because it uses long curlers. The result is small long curls along the entire length, which looks especially advantageous on thin hair. The merging permanent involves twisting individual strands, the main part of the hair remains intact. This is the most natural way that gives the effect of slight negligence.
With proper care (using special shampoos and masks, refusing a hair dryer, regular haircut), the hairstyle will last even more than six months.
Pros and cons
What is a permanent? In all cases, this is the use of chemical compounds that affect the structure of the hair or skin condition. Therefore, such measures are not recommended for those who have a predisposition to allergies. In any case, you must first consult with your doctor.
In addition, such a desirable long-term effect may be a disadvantage. This is in those cases when the result of the work was far from ideal. This happens, and very often. Unfortunately, insufficiently careful selection of the master, the use of low-quality compounds, handicraft devices (in the case of eyebrow make-up) is capable at best to leave an undesirable result. At worst, it will significantly harm your health.
Therefore, if a decision is made, it is worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the place of work of the master in terms of hygiene, find out how the tools are processed, familiarize yourself with the portfolio (completed work) and not trust those specialists who do not give any recommendations. In addition, it is important to make sure that your own idea of the final result of the work coincides with the idea of the master - the canons of beauty are different for everyone.
Compliance with such precautions will protect against negative consequences and give a long, good result.
