Varieties
Today, many techniques are used to create a beautiful curl. They are based on different technologies. Conventionally, all methods can be divided into temporary and chemical wave hair. They differ in a number of parameters.
Temporary curls are most often done at home on their own. However, in beauty salons they can do styling or hairstyle based on similar technology. This curl stays on the hair for a maximum of 2-3 days. After washing the hair, the strands will become straight again. Such curling techniques include the use of curlers, curling irons, weaving various braids, and the use of irons.
Chemical types of hair curls allow you to wind curls for a long time. Usually, the curl lasts for 2-3 months. Curls straighten gradually. To create such a styling at home is almost impossible. This procedure is performed exclusively in beauty salons. Perm includes many approaches and techniques. They differ in chemicals that are used to create hairstyles, as well as in the appearance of curls after such processing.
It is worth considering that in most cases, a temporary perm will be more gentle for the hair. She practically has no contraindications. Chemical types of styling involve the use of different drugs. They can significantly worsen the condition of the hair. There are also a number of restrictions that you need to consider before going to a beauty salon.
Chemical methods are not allowed to be used by people who take hormonal drugs, as well as girls during pregnancy and lactation. For newly dyed hair, this technique is also rarely used. Otherwise, even professional hair care products will not help to restore damaged curls.
Types of Chemical Techniques
Talking about the chemical types of hair curling, you need to consider the methods in the context of drugs that are used when processing curls. One of the oldest technologies is acid wave. This technology allows the strands to be wound for a long time. However, this method greatly affects the condition of the hair. Therefore, it is used only for healthy curls of all types of hair.
An alkaline base can also be used for curling. In this case, the chemical has less effect on the hair structure than the previous type of drug. However, the maximum duration of a perm is 3 months. This method has some limitations. Before using it, you need to consult a specialist. For some types of hair, such chemicals are not suitable.
Another type of chemical perm is a method based on amino acids. Such substances during the procedure penetrate deep into the hair. They accelerate the process of restoration of the rod, so that the hairstyle looks natural. This method is suitable for all types of hair.
Also a gentle technique is the neutral curling method. This is the only technology based on chemical components that is suitable even for damaged hair. The drug interacts with the strands very gently. Therefore, this technology does not spoil the hair.
If the girl’s hair is naturally curly, fluffy, you can use a chemical technique based on an acid base in combination with thioglycolic acid. There is no swelling effect. The structure becomes more expressive, but the effect does not last long. For even hair, this technique is not suitable.
Varieties of perms
Curling hair for a long time can be performed using different technologies. At the same time, the curls themselves take on one form or another. If you need to make a light curl on long hair, you should give preference to a spiral technique of winding curls. In this case, the wave will be light, and the image will be romantic.
You can make a perming "on a pigtail." This option is suitable for haircuts below shoulder height. After processing with a chemical preparation, the strand is braided into a tight pigtail. Its tip is also wound on bobbins. The waves will be shallow and frequent.
Curling hair for a long time can be done using papillots. In this case, the curls will be large and airy. The hairstyle will look natural. This is a popular curl today.
If the hair is of medium length, you can perform a wrap on a special hairpin. It is not made of metal. The wave takes on a specific, unusual appearance.
The double curling method is also popular. It is suitable for medium and long hairstyles. In this case, half the strand is wound upright, and the other horizontal. The hairstyle looks original and stylish. You can also wind one strand with two bobbins. The upper one has a larger diameter. A second bobbin is applied from the middle of the strand. The diameter of the curls is uneven.
Basal curling is performed only at the base of the strands. It allows you to harmonize the look of an overgrown long-term perm or simply adds volume to the hair.
The most gentle is the "children's" chemistry. In this case, do not put a head on a cap made of polyethylene. Strands are pulled through it and the winding procedure is performed. The chemical does not apply to the skin. Therefore, such a wave is suitable for almost everyone.
Biowave
Specialists of beauty salons offer their clients new methods of curling for short hair, medium and long strands. They apply innovative technology. One of the most popular and gentle types of such long-term styling is biowaving. It is not only gentle, but also useful for hair.
The technique is based on the use of components that do not include chemical, synthetic substances. Hair after this treatment remains elastic, shiny. The winding up procedure can be carried out by different methods. The procedure takes place in three stages. First, the strands are wound on curlers, bobbins, etc. They are treated with a substance that saturates the strands with protein.
The second stage involves applying a different composition. It thickens the protein with which the strands are saturated. The third stage involves the application of another substance. It restores the natural acid-base balance of the hair, fixes the curl in a wound state.
This is the most modern hair curler. Large curls or small curls can hold for 3-9 months. At the same time, the hairstyle will be ideal in any conditions. Bio-curling allows you to preserve the shine of the hair, giving it naturalness. Curls remain healthy. This type of curl is applied even to damaged, dyed hair.
Recommendations of specialists
Performing a perm on short hair, medium or long curls with the use of chemicals, you need to adhere to a number of recommendations. To keep the hairstyle beautiful for a long time, you need to follow a number of simple rules.
If the curls were wound by a chemical method, they can not be washed with very hot water, use a hair dryer with a high air flow temperature for 3-5 days. Also, you can not use tongs, thermal curlers for styling. This can lead to weakening of curls.
It is necessary to apply in the process of shampooing only special medical shampoos, balms. You can also make masks. A complex of special compounds can be selected by a master who performs perm. Such products nourish the hair and moisturize the scalp.
Periodically, you will need to visit a hairdresser to cut off the cut ends of the strands. This will give the hairstyle a healthy, natural look. Special means can be used to improve the condition of the ends of the curls after such processing. In this case, a perm on medium hair, long or short curls will look spectacular.
Clamps
There are many ways to create a temporary wave at home. To do this, use different techniques. Curling on medium hair, as well as short strands, is performed using clips. For long curls, this method is not suitable. To do this, wash your hair with shampoo and balm. The strands need to be dried a little. In doing so, they should remain slightly moist.
Each strand is separated and combed. Then it is wound on a finger. Using the clamp, the lock is fixed. In total, about 30 such rings of hair are obtained. Lock the curls on the left and right side in 2 rows. If the hair structure is thin, before carrying out a similar procedure, you can apply a little styling mousse on them. In this case, the curls will remain in the desired state for a long time. So that the strands do not unwind, the clamps must be closed with a special mesh. It is put on the head until the strands completely dry. It is best to perform the procedure in the evening. In the morning, the clamps can be removed. A similar effect allows you to create curling irons.
Braiding
Another interesting way to create an interesting hair structure is braiding. This technique is suitable for medium hair. You can vary the magnitude of the wave, choosing one or another thickness of the braids. It is necessary to prepare the hair in the same way as when using clips. Next, the strands are evenly divided, combed. After that weave pigtails. The tip can be fixed with a thread, a small rubber band or wound with a curler.
Thin pigtails will make your hair lush. After the hair is completely dry, the braids open. Further, without using a comb, the curls are straightened. You can also use a hair dryer with a cold flow of hair or gently shake the hair with your fingers. If you comb your hair, it will become very voluminous. Many do not like this effect.
To create a similar effect, special irons and curling irons are also used for curling hair. Nozzles on such devices have a corrugated surface. The result is a wavy hair effect. Unlike braids, all waves will be the same size. So the hairstyle looks more spectacular and neat. Such irons and curling irons with special nozzles are used to create the entire hairstyle or only some of its elements.
Hair curlers
The most traditional way is to use curlers for curling hair. Large locks of medium and long length will look as impressive as possible when using such tools. Curlers can be used for both cold and hot wrapping. The second option allows you to get the desired result within 10 minutes after winding the strands. A cold wave is done in the evening before bedtime.
Curlers can be of different sizes. There are both very small and large varieties. Typically, about 20 pieces of such devices are used for curling. You need to wind the curls evenly. Each subsequent round should go in the middle of the first. You also need to pull the strands lightly. Today, papillots are also used for these purposes. These are flexible rods that are easy to use for curling hair.
Tongs or curling iron
One of the most popular devices for home and salon styling are tongs or curling iron. This device has a lot of varieties. The choice depends on the length of the curls, their structure. Hair curlers can be made of different materials.
There are varieties that do not spoil the hair. Their surface is made of a special material that ionizes the hair. As a result, they do not lose their luster. However, the cost of such products will be an order of magnitude higher. Also, the rod can be of different diameters. You can purchase curling irons with different nozzles. In this case, you can create different hairstyles that are most suitable for the image of a girl.
Having considered the methods and technologies of hair curling, you can choose the best option for yourself to create a spectacular unique hairstyle.
