But everything is not so simple here, it is sometimes quite difficult for owners of perfectly straight hair to wind their hair on a regular curling iron, but it takes more than five minutes. This hairstyle lasts for about an hour or two, but not all day. Then heavy artillery enters the battle - perm comes to the rescue. The most gentle procedure is considered to be perm on large curls. It remains to understand the technology of perm hair, what preparations are used and what instructions the master follows.
What are the types of curls
Sufficient time has passed since the perm was popular in the nineties, now masters use less safe materials, and the procedure itself has many varieties. So everyone will find an option to their liking. The most common typescurls:
- permanent;
- neutral root, considered the easiest, since the drug is used only on the roots;
- carving - chemical safe perm, suitable for hair that has not previously been subjected to any chemical aggression, whether it is dyeing or straightening hair with drugs;
- cold perm.
Now let's talk more about perms.
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 point is not only in what is included in the preparation, but, first of all, in the fact that the structure of the hair is already broken. Many masters in salons skillfully convince their clients that biowave is absolutely safe for hair, and modern chem. perm on long hair with large curls is no worse than using a curling iron. Unfortunately, this is not at all the case, the hair is damaged very badly, and in some cases irrevocably.
Can I straighten curls myself with an iron?
Some experts categorically forbid straightening hair after the curling procedure, because with such a powerful aggressive effect, not only the hair, but also the scalp suffers. 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 acceptthe final decision is 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 most difficult thing will be with chem. perms for long hair.
Who shouldn't get a perm?
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, gets very tangled, becomes completely naughty and looks very untidy. If you have such a problem as oily hair, then biowave, on the contrary, can be a salvation, even in some cases it is prescribed by specialists to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands. In order not to get unpleasant surprises, you should first consult with a hairdresser. Only a professional will tell you for sure whether such a procedure is suitable specifically for your hair type, color, structure and even face shape.
You can determine the suitability of hair for curling at home. This happens as follows: boil water and cool it, non-carbonated mineral water is also suitable. Cut off a small strand of hair from your shock, literally 0.5 centimeters, no more and dip it into a glass of water. If the hair rose immediately up and is in no hurry to "sink", then the hair is too damaged and it is better to refuse curling until complete recovery. If the hair is stuck somewhere in the middle, then the hair will tolerate the light chemistry procedure normally, but you will have to take care of it more carefully. If the hair immediately went to the bottom, then you cando whatever your heart desires, if the hair is not a pity, of course.
As for hair color?
This issue also has its limitations, brunettes and redheads will have the hardest time, as such hair is considered the thickest and toughest. They do not hold the curling iron at all, and you will have to tinker with chemistry. It is not easy to curl, especially the lightest so-called Asian curls, which are distinguished by their ideal natural straightness. Their curling iron does not take at all, for such ladies, one way to be curly is a perm.
