The owners of straight hair have always looked with envy at curly women. After all, curls help create a cute playful look. 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 permed hair was made. Hair care after this procedure has since become a hot topic. We will talk about this in our article.
Preparing for the procedure
Before the procedure, experts recommend washing your hair. After all, grease and pollution will prevent the penetration of the reagent into the strands. In this case, during washing, you do not need to intensively rub the skin. Just neatshampoo and rinse with warm water.
Weakened hair can be cleaned a few days before curling. In this case, a slight fatty film on them will only save the curls from excessive damage.
Next, the master applies the composition to wet strands. This ensures even penetration into the hair.
It is worth noting that the quality of the future perm will be determined by 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 winding 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 20 cm in length.
Short and long curls
Here there are also peculiarities 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.
Long hair is best styled with spiral conical curlers. The result is the so-called vertical chemistry. The technique for performing this procedure is somewhat different. Winding strands start from the roots, moving towards the ends. This approach makes it easier for the master to work with hair of any length. Special bobbins are great for those who want to get uniform curls. Many girls like this perm hair (photo below).
Choosing a master is a crucial moment
It's no secret that hair curling is quite an aggressive procedure. Its 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 pay attention to?
1. A good and responsible specialist will start with a test of your hair type. He must also assess their condition. If the strands are exhausted, a good master will never undertake to do “chemistry”. 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 has been staining. All this information is extremely important. After all, 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 freshly dyed hair should not be contacted with perm chemicals at all.
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 he 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. And, of course, a good specialist will definitely give recommendations to the client on caring for curls.hair.
Specialist recommendations
Caring for hair after a perm involves not only the use of special products, but also the correct handling of a new hairstyle. Consider the basic principles and advice from professionals.
- During the procedure, the master tells clients that shampooing will only need to be done on the third day. You shouldn't have done it before. You need to use a special shampoo and warm water. There should be no aggressive movements. Strands must not be squeezed and twisted. It is better to just blot with a soft towel with light movements.
- The use of a hair dryer and hot rollers must be postponed for 5 days. Do not use hot air during drying. To preserve the beauty of curls, they must always be styled using curlers after washing your hair.
- 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.
