Curly straighten and straight curl is the principle of many girls. However, curls often refresh the face and make its features more romantic and gentle. Those whose hair does not naturally curl are offered to do hair biochemistry. Photos before and after, as well as the features of the process can be found in our article.
Composition of drugs
Biochemical waving is a special type of hair styling. After the procedure, the hair remains wavy from several weeks to six months. Unlike the usual perm, this option has a more gentle effect on the hair. Hair biochemistry products contain more gentle and natural ingredients:
- Cysteamine. It is a natural protein that is an integral part of the hair.
- Glycolic acid. It is a fruit acid that stops the alkaline curling process.
Of course, other elements are included. But among them there is no ammonia familiar to everyone, thioglycolic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Often in the composition you can find those elements that are used even for hair treatment.
About the procedure
The procedure itself differs little from what was done before. As before, the hair is thoroughly washed and dried with a towel. This allows you to get rid of sebum, which settles on the hair and, as a result, prevents the drug from evenly lying on the curls.
The master divides the hair into sectors and, depending on the desired result, winds it up. So that there are no ugly creases and sloppy strands, everything is done in stages and in a row. The master must ensure not only that the bobbins lie according to the scheme, but also that they have the same thickness and tension. This is called physical impact.
Next, it's time to apply the first preparation. It softens the structure of the hair and bends it chemically. Now the hair is the most vulnerable and needs a remedy that stops the reaction and ensures that the curls harden.
To make everything go perfectly, the master thoroughly rinses the untwisted hair under running water, getting rid of the first remedy. After using a towel to get rid of excess water, a second preparation is applied. It often needs to be lathered up for the effect to be as soft and deep as possible.
After a short amount of time, the curlers are removed and the hair is washed again with water. Next, they need to be processed with nutrients. What will happen next is already decided by the master with the client. Usually the final is laying. But the haircut that was done on straight hair may not be suitable for bright waves. Then the master invites the client to make anotherhaircut.
Contraindications
Often, reviews about the biochemistry of hair are negative, due to the fact that contraindications were not taken into account when performing this procedure. Among them:
- Inflammatory processes in the body.
- Pregnancy and lactation.
- Impaired skin integrity.
- Disorders of the scalp.
Of course, such a perm is much easier to tolerate than a chemical one. But at the same time, all contraindications should be taken into account so as not to be disappointed.
What are curls
Before you do hair biochemistry, you need to carefully analyze what is right for you. The main rule: the larger the face, the larger the curl should be. Determine your face shape and act accordingly.
There are several types of curls:
- Small curls.
- Medium curl.
- Big curls.
They all look interesting on different hair. But not everyone will like the result.
Big curls
The peculiarity of such hair biochemistry is that only a master with experience and high qualifications can make it. In order for the curl to be sufficiently elastic and last for a long time, an accurate calculation of preparations and exposure time is necessary. The word "long" means a period of three months. The longer and thicker the hair, the less the curl will hold. Such biochemistry is suitable for medium hair with any haircut and style of both clothing and life. Great with big curlsa variety of hair decor elements are combined - from a simple elastic band to luxurious headbands and fresh flowers.
Small curls
This perm is often done on short hair. Based on the desire of the client, the master makes either a medium curl or a strong one. Such curls easily scatter, and thanks to this, a new bright volume is formed. Especially it is based in the crown area. Depending on how the master lays the bobbins, you will get a different effect. It is believed that it is these curls that most strongly change the oval of the face. Very often, it is a small curl that emphasizes the delicate color of the skin. Of course, not all jewelry is suitable for such a hairstyle. But caring for her will not be difficult for both young people and those who have long celebrated their majority.
Medium Curl
This biochemistry is recommended for medium hair. Photos of those who have already tried it on themselves prove the veracity of this statement. Those who used to wear hair of the same length understand that the average curl on this haircut will look untidy. That is why it is often advised to do something in a cascading form. The fixation of such chemistry is average. Therefore, do not expect that the hairstyle will last for a long time. On average, masters guarantee three months, but usually the styling lasts longer. Now let's talk in principle about fashion trends in matters of curling.
For a short haircut
Earlier, the smallest curls were made for short hair. It looked like a dandelion and not for everyonefit. But recently the fashion has changed. As is the approach to biochemistry for short hair. So, now "angel curls" are in fashion. This is a light perm that is suitable for visually weak hair. Curls look gentle and soft. It makes facial features more refined and pretty.
For short hair, you can make curls with the effect of wet hair. Such a styling base is ideal for busy girls, because laying it down is a matter of a few minutes. A photo of biochemistry for short hair is the best proof of this.
Now it is fashionable to make numerous afro curls. Owners of plump lips and those who are not afraid of experiments can afford such a hairstyle. Remember that curled hair will visually become much shorter. If this does not scare you, then you are ready to impress others with a biowave for short hair!
Biochemistry for long hair
The longer the hair, the more difficult it is to curl it, but the result is worth it. Curling on long hair will give them volume and airiness. If the hair is not thick, you can experiment with any type of curl. This is especially true for those who want to emphasize the beauty of their hair. For example, you can improve your hairstyle and make a light cascade.
For thick hair, it is not recommended to use too small curls. This will make the head disproportionate and create a trapezoid effect, which will only be a reason to smile, and not admire the beauty of the hair.
To make the biowave look great, it is important to take into account several factors. First of all, the hair must behe althy. It is better that they have not been dyed and have not known curls until this moment. Moreover, the selection of a good master is important. Only a specialist in his field knows how to make curls uniform and persistent without compromising the he alth of the hair.
Curl on medium length hair
Perhaps this is the optimal length for delicate and light curls. This hairstyle looks elegant and gentle. If the hair is not heavy, then the curls will start from the very root, and end with a light and gentle wave. When doing a perm, remember that the coolness of the curl is not as important as what hairstyle it will lie in. The way the biochemistry looks on medium hair before and after the procedure is the best proof of this statement.
Boost up
There is another interesting variant of hair biochemistry. This is the perfect base for those who regularly style with bouffant. Boost up is called root perm, which is performed according to the latest methods and affects only the hair roots. The resulting result resembles the effect of a corrugated curling iron. Previously, such a perm was done as a classic tool. But it had a negative effect on the root zone and bulbs. So with the advent of biochemistry, the possibility of always being uprooted became open to everyone.
Why perm
Some are perplexed why do hair biochemistry, the photos of which do not always look attractive, if you can just do your styling with a curling iron and a hairdryer. There are actually quite a few reasons:
- The curling iron burns hair constantly andmuch stronger than biochemistry.
- Even the lightest curl lasts at least 6 weeks.
- After curling, styling takes very little time.
- You can choose the elasticity and coolness of the curl.
- Luxury hairstyle for any occasion.
This is especially nice in light of the gentle effect on the hair. But not everything is as great as it might seem.
Flaws
In any case, although natural preparations, this is an effect on the skin. Therefore, after curling, the hair dries up. It is good for those who suffer from oily roots. However, those who experience dryness can cause significant damage to the skin. At first, the hair will smell just disgusting. This is especially annoying in light of the fact that after the procedure you can not wash your hair for at least three days. And when you wash them, the hair will not stop "smelling" for at least another two weeks.
There is only one way to remove a perm - cut it off. For those who want to let go of long hair, this thought will help soberly weigh their desire to get a biowave. Such styling needs constant care. The previous funds may not be suitable, so in addition to spending directly on the perm itself, you will also have to spend money on additional materials.
Rules of care
When the styling is taken care of, even after a few weeks the biochemistry on the hair looks good. Photos confirm this. But what are the rules for caring for such curls?
Start by reviewingyour hair products. Anything that dries out in one way or another is no longer suitable for you. If you washed your hair with shampoo before curling and did not use any other products, it is time to purchase restorative masks and balms. Many note the positive effect of peach and other essential oils. But remember that it is also harmful to keep funds on the hair for a long time. Be reasonable.
Change your comb. Most people use classic combs, but if you have biochemistry done, you need to get a brush with rare teeth. At first, it is worth combing your hair with your fingers. After shampooing, do not rub your hair. This is harmful in principle, and for hair that has been affected by chemistry, it is completely dangerous. Thus, you can greatly confuse and break them. Simply pat your hair dry with a soft towel.
You should buy a diffuser for a hair dryer. This is a special nozzle that facilitates styling that creates the effect of wet hair. Blow dry and style your hair with your head tilted forward. This will allow you not to wring the roots and evenly apply styling products to them.
