The most famous problem for women is to straighten curly hair and curl straight. But here it is not so simple, for owners of perfectly straight hair it is sometimes quite difficult to wind the hair into an ordinary curling iron, and it does not take five minutes. Such a hairstyle lasts about an hour or two, but not the whole day. Then heavy artillery enters the battle - perms come to the rescue. The most gentle procedure is considered to be curling on large curls. It remains to understand the technology for performing chemical perm, what preparations are used and what instructions the masters follow.
What are the types of curls
Since then, when the perm was popular in the nineties, enough time has passed, now the masters use less safe materials, and the procedure itself has many varieties. So everyone will find an option for their liking. The most common types of curls:
- permanent;
- neutral basal, considered the easiest, since the drug is used only on the roots;
- carving - a chemical safe wave, suitable for hair that has not previously been subjected to any chemical aggressive effects, whether it is dyeing or straightening hair with drugs;
- cold wave.
Now let's talk in more detail about the perm.
What is carving?
Why is it not recommended to carry out the procedure on previously dyed or straightened hair? Everything is very simple here, and the matter is not only that which is part of the drug, but, first of all, that the hair structure is already broken. Many masters in the salons skillfully convince their customers that bio-curling is absolutely safe for hair, and modern chemical. long hair with large curls is no worse than using a curling iron. Unfortunately, this is not so at all, the hair is damaged very badly, and in some cases irrevocably.
Is it possible to straighten the curl yourself with an iron?
Some experts categorically prohibit straightening the hair after the curling procedure, because with such a powerful aggressive effect, not only the hair, but also the scalp suffer. You can even get a real burn and go to the hospital, and the skin oversaturated with chemical elements will begin to peel off. In any case, it is better to first weigh the pros and cons, and then make the final decision whether you are ready to walk for at least two weeks, or even a month with curls or not. If you get tired, straighten them at this time will not work. The hardest thing to do with a chem. waving on long hair.
Who is not recommended to do a wave?
Even the lightest chemistry behaves unpredictably on dry hair, the drug does not fit well, and after the procedure is completed, the hair becomes even more porous, very confused, completely naughty and looks very untidy. If you have a problem such as oily hair, then a biowave, on the contrary, can be a salvation, even in some cases it is prescribed by specialists to normalize the sebaceous glands. In order not to get unpleasant surprises, you should first consult with a hairdresser. Only a professional will say for sure whether such a procedure is suitable specifically for your hair type, color, structure and even the shape of the face.
You can determine the suitability of hair for curling at home. This happens as follows: boil the water and cool it, also non-carbonated mineral water is suitable. Cut a small strand of hair from your head, literally 0.5 centimeters, no more and dip it in a glass of water. If the hair has risen immediately up and is in no hurry to “sink”, then the hair is too damaged and it is better to refuse curling until it is completely restored. If the hair is stuck somewhere in the middle, then the hair will undergo the light chemistry procedure normally, but it will be necessary to take care of it more carefully. If the hair immediately went down, then you can do whatever your heart desires, if the hair is not a pity, of course.
What about hair color?
This issue also has its limitations; the most difficult thing is for brunettes and redheads, since such hair is considered the thickest and toughest. They do not keep curling at all, but they will have to tinker with chemistry. It is not easy to curl, especially the lightest, the so-called Asian curls, which are characterized by perfect natural directness. Their curling iron does not take at all, such ladies have one way out to be curly - this is a wave.
Tips from professionals
Years of work have allowed curlers to draw up a series of tips that can greatly simplify the procedure:
- Do not forget that the thicker your hair, the longer the curl will last. A few months before going to the salon, carefully look after them, do not be lazy to make masks, the procedure for laminating at home or in the salon. On thin hair, the hairstyle will last no longer than three months.
- We say yes! professional cosmetics. Only high-quality preparations with extracts of natural oils and medicinal plants will help minimize the risk of global hair damage, which will be very difficult to restore.
- Postpone the procedure until better times if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Contact only trusted masters, read reviews, ask friends. Even if the master attracts a low price, do not miss the bad comments. In a couple of weeks, the excitement of the new curls will pass, and it will take years to restore the hair.
If you adhere to these rules, the procedure will be as positive for the hair as possible. Price chem. curls on long hair depends on the preparation used and on the amount of curlers used. For example, a curl for short hair will cost from 1000 to 1600 rubles, shoulder length is 2500-3200, and for long hair you will have to fork out - 4700-5500 rubles.
Rules for curling hair in a salon
The modern beauty industry offers a huge variety of perms. There are many drugs alone. Technologies in different salons can radically differ from each other, the price of the procedure can also vary. The optimal option for the hair is usually determined by the hairdresser, it is desirable that he be constant and already well know the structure and behavior of your hair. Also, the execution technique depends on the composition that is used. For example, when in one case you have to wash your hair before you start, and in the other, on the contrary, the composition is applied to dirty hair. The first thing you must determine yourself is the desired length, keep in mind that the hair will become shorter by at least two, or even six centimeters. It all depends on the wave. And here it is already recommended to rely on the shape of your face. For example, if your hair is of medium length along the shoulders, then the hair will become shorter and will be somewhere at the level of the cheeks. Recently, more and more often ladies prefer to mix immediately several types of curls. This curl looks very unusual, and for hair lacking volume, it helps to return it with a triple effect. Real salvation for owners of rare hair. The curling pattern depends solely on the type of person and the wishes of the client. For example, vertical is an ideal option for owners of an oval-shaped face, but chubby girls will be transformed by a horizontal wave.
How is the procedure with the master?
First, you will be asked to remove any jewelry, especially metal ones. The master must necessarily throw a cape on you so that the chemical solution does not fall on other parts of the body, and immediately proceeds to apply the first layer of the drug. The smell of the composition is very specific, it is better not to sniff. The duration of the procedure is 1.5-2.5 hours. The width of curls for a chemical wave depends on the desired result. After applying the composition will have another 40 minutes to sit with bobbins. But, and this is not the end, now we need to consolidate the result. The hair is freed from the curlers, a fixing composition is applied over the entire length so that the curls are wound again. We'll have to sit another two hours, but beauty is worth the sacrifice. After this time, the master straightens his hair with his hands and you can fly home, show off charming curls.
In the next two days it is forbidden to wash your hair, comb your hair, because the converter will act for another 28 hours. Chem. long hair takes even longer.
Warnings
Your master may forget to warn you of the following, so be careful:
- If you have sparse hair, then after the procedure they will become very dry, will be confused. Therefore, make sure that you have enough masks, conditioners, balms and other care products at home.
- Be prepared for the fact that an unpleasant odor will haunt you for another week after the procedure. Lavender, lemon juice and rosemary can help with this.
- It is possible that after curling, the hair will begin to fall out strongly, so buy vitamins in advance, make homemade strengthening masks.
- And the ladies with bangs really need to think 20 times. It is not recommended to curl it, it is better to leave it straight.
- The skin at the roots will not be sweet, be prepared for the fact that dandruff may appear.
- The curl and tips will not pass by, in a couple of weeks they will be noticeably chopped.
- Curls last from three to six months, then the issue is resolved by correction.
And, of course, in six months the hair will grow significantly, and they will grow not curly, but straight, which were before the curl. It does not look very aesthetically pleasing.

After the desired composition is purchased, it is time to do the curlers, it’s definitely impossible to save on them.
