Permed hair perm

Execution technology

The work consists of several stages.

1. Hair is washed with a special composition for deep cleaning of curls and skin. After that, the strands are slightly dried, divided into parting.
2. Then they are wound on bobbins or curlers with loosely hanging tips, which are covered with foil.
3. Then a chemical composition is applied to the root zone of the hair, and the hair in this area is covered with a plastic cap for a better reaction.
4. After the required time has elapsed, the composition is washed off, and the foil is removed. A fixative and a moisturizing balm are applied to all curls for a quarter of an hour.

It is better to do a root perm in a salon, since mistakes made in the course of determining the concentration of the composition used can lead to a negative result.

Advantages and disadvantages

If previously it was believed that perm is a terrible procedure that burns hair and causes irreparable damage to it, today many girls praise such a perm. This is due to the appearance of gentle compounds that are used to fix the curls in the desired position.

The main advantages of root chemistry are as follows:

• obtaining volume in the area of ​​hair roots;
• long-term effect (the volume lasts until the roots grow back);
• hairstyle resistance to styling products and hot air;
• no need for frequent shampooing (since the chemical composition used dries the scalp).

This procedure is relevant for owners of long, thick hair. Due to the large weight after curling, the curls straighten quickly enough.

The hair root chemistry provides a long-lasting effect of additional volume, regardless of the length of the strands, which is a big plus of this procedure.

• Like any perm, root chemistry has limitations... For the procedure to be performed efficiently, it is very important to find an experienced qualified master.
• The cost of this chemistry is quite high.
• Moreover, it is a lengthy procedure. You will have to spend at least 3 hours in the salon. The effect lasts up to six months, and this is a plus. But, if suddenly you do not like the result, you will not be able to remove the perm in the next 6 months.

Contraindications

Not everyone can do this procedure - further we will consider in what cases boost up is prohibited.

• While carrying a child, as well as breastfeeding a baby, you cannot do root chemistry.
• During the period of treatment with potent medicines, including hormonal, antibacterial.
• In case of exacerbations of diseases, procedures are prohibited. Including, you can not do a boost, if there is a high temperature, the pressure has risen.
• It is forbidden to carry out the procedure if there is an allergic reaction to any irritant related to hairdressing chemicals.
• Important: before carrying out the procedure, the master must conduct a test for an allergic reaction
• You can not do a boost up with existing scalp damage: wounds, abrasions, scratches, pustules.
• It is highly undesirable to carry out the procedure if the hair has a fragile structure, is dry, brittle. The fact is that the boost up makes the root zone even drier, which is contraindicated in this case.
• If a woman has a short haircut, the possibility of carrying out the procedure is questionable, since usually a boost up is performed if the hair is shoulder-length or longer.

Curling features

A well-done root perm allows you to increase the volume of your hairstyle by 4 times. The main "trick" of the procedure is that the hair retains its natural smoothness, but at the same time the desired volume of the hairstyle appears.

Process specifics:

• When applying the solution, the master does not touch the upper part of the curls.
• The lower strands are not involved in curling. They are needed to maintain the effect.
• Smooth hairpins and curlers are used for the operation. The diameter is selected depending on the condition of the hair, the desired result.
• Curls that are not curled are protected with foil or polyethylene.

Procedure steps

Before the procedure, the master must assess the condition of the head, make a test sample for an allergic reaction. Masters distinguish between full and partial perm.

When performing a full curl on the hair roots, the sequence of actions is as follows:

• Preparing curls for the procedure. The head is washed with deep cleansing shampoo.
• A small amount of hair is separated, the solution is applied to the roots and the area around them. The rest of the strand is wrapped in protective polyethylene / foil.
• Twist the processed strand onto curlers (smooth hairpins).
• Repeat the steps with all curls until the entire surface of the head has been processed.
• Cover the head with a cap. Leave for 30 minutes.
• The root zone is treated with a fixator. After 15 minutes. the composition is washed off.

Important! In order to cause minimal damage to the skin, you should not wash your hair before the procedure. The protective layer makes the procedure more gentle.

If there is a need for a partial root curling, then the following manipulations should be performed:

• Hair is prepared.
• The strands are separated and a special preparation is applied to the root zone.
• Only part of the hair that has undergone treatment is screwed onto curlers (hairpins).
• Repeat the procedure with each strand.
• Put on a hat. Stand for 30 minutes.
• A fixing compound is applied to the treated part. Wash off after 15 minutes.

How long does the effect last

Chemistry lasts for 6 months. A well-done procedure saves time and money for daily styling.

To achieve long-term results, you should undergo a wellness course that will strengthen the skin and hair. Vitamin complexes will help with this.

The effect of the drug on gray curls can lead to brittleness, a poor final effect.

It is worth paying attention to hair coloring. Root chemistry applied to curls that have recently been dyed will not give the desired result.

For a lasting long-term effect, do not use hair cosmetics containing silicone before the procedure.

If these rules are followed, the result will be long-lasting and sustainable.

Care

Despite the gentle composition of chemical preparations for curling, as well as their local effect, after the procedure, the hair will still need special intensive care. It includes the following mandatory procedures:

• you should wash your hair with shampoo for curly curls only as the strands become dirty;
• regenerating and nourishing masks based on natural ingredients should be done at least 2 times a week;
• do not wash your hair with hot water;
• rinsing after washing your hair with herbal decoctions will be useful;
• avoid the use of products containing sodium lauryl sulfate;
• it is worth temporarily refraining from using natural oils after chemistry, since they have a smoothing effect;
• it is necessary to protect hair from ultraviolet radiation, additionally using protective sprays and hats;
• to style hair without using products containing silicone.

Styling

To make your hairstyle beautiful and neat after a root perm, you need a minimum of funds. As a rule, you will be able to style your hair with a hairdryer and an ordinary brush: the strands will no longer need additional combing.

For a beautiful and lush hairstyle, it will be enough to dry your hair, best of all naturally or with a hairdryer with a cold air blowing mode.

Next, you need to tilt your head, throw your hair forward and beat the strands with your fingers at the base, then dry it or just fix it with varnish.

Reviews

Reviews of root chemistry characterize such a local perm as a way that really creates an expressive volume on the hair. It is he who positively transforms the appearance of the hairstyle.

• The popularity of the method is also due to its versatility: a lush haircut can be done with short and medium hair lengths.
• However, this procedure also has some individual characteristics that are manifested in some girls. This concerns the duration of the effect.

In some cases, the volume disappears after a couple of months.

In other women, it can last for a year, but as hair grows, the hairstyle becomes less beautiful. Without proper care, the strands after curling will be very tangled, so the regular use of special cosmetics is mandatory in this case.

Who is root chemistry suitable for?

This type of curling is suitable not only for those girls who want to make their hair lush, but do not want to have curls. Also, this perm will be the best solution for girls who periodically do chemistry.

Instead of reapplying the composition over the entire length of the strands, it is enough to treat the overgrown roots with it. Thus, you minimize the damage caused to the curls.

The root chemistry for hair volume is suitable for owners of straight sparse strands. Visually, after such a procedure, the hair will become lush and voluminous. Each subsequent session involves the processing of new, regrown roots.

Therefore, repeated damage to previously treated hair with a chemical composition is excluded.

Root chemistry is a good solution for girls who have natural curls. Curly hair usually lacks volume at the roots. Curls are formed mainly at the ends, and at the beginning of hair growth, the strands are straight.

Root chemistry will make the strands frizzy and give your hair extra volume.

Curls are not suitable for every girl. Therefore, it does not always make sense to do a perm for the entire length of the strands. In addition, after root chemistry, the hair looks more natural.

Compound

Let's note the harmlessness of these compositions: unlike the usual perm, the boost up does not cause such harm to the hair, does not dry it out, and does not turn it into "straw".

In the process of the behavior of the root curling, a special two-phase composition is used, which has the substance cystyamine as the main component. In addition to the main one, the composition also includes additional substances that strengthen the hair, prevent hair loss, dryness of the epidermis.

Possible complications

A client after a root perm may face the following troubles:

• dryness of the hair will increase - it will be difficult to style the hairstyle, the strands begin to electrify and fluff;
• hair fragility increases significantly - it will be possible to correct the situation only with the help of specific care for curls with the use of professional products;
• as soon as the hair grows back, the resulting effect disappears - the masters recommend doing a root perm for those women whose hair grows too slowly.

Is it possible to do it yourself at home

All the necessary tools and means for root curling are freely available and many believe that the procedure can be carried out at home without any specific knowledge. But experts are categorically do not recommend such experiments:

• you need to accurately divide the hair into partings and select the middle layer specifically;
• when winding up the root zone, a fracture of the strands must not be allowed;
• you need to correctly dilute the chemical and use it in a certain amount;
• you need to understand which hair will take how long it will take to get the desired result.

At home, you can perform only a "lightweight" version of the root perm. To do this, use a curling iron with embossed heating plates, which press the hair at the roots for a few seconds. Volume and splendor are guaranteed, but only until the next shampooing.

Hair curlers

The best choice would be thin and smooth wood or plastic. It is strictly forbidden to use metal "tools" for root curling - it is impossible to predict the intensity of the metal oxidation reaction with a chemical agent.

Often, not curlers are used for the procedure, but small wooden "sticks" with widened ends - bobbins. This is quite acceptable, the result will not change, but it is much more convenient for the master to work with them.

Tips & Tricks

In order for the root curling of the hair to be perfect, and the result to be as positive as possible, you should heed the recommendations from the experts:

• During the "critical days" you should not carry out the procedure - the hormonal background of the woman is disturbed, and this can distort the results.
• Before visiting a beauty salon, you do not need to wash your hair, it should be slightly dirty.
• After curling, you need to protect the hair from ultraviolet rays, for which not only hats are used, but also specific sprays, balms.

How does it affect the roots

Root chemistry is indicated in the following cases:

• if you spend too much time on daily styling;
• if the hair at the roots does not have volume, the hair looks sleek, drooping;
• if the hair is thin and sparse.

Price in the salon and for home use

The procedure is complex in technique. Therefore, for a good result, professionals must perform it. It is difficult to carry out successful root chemistry at home. It is impossible to work with strands on your own, to choose the optimal composition of the drug.

Since the result lasts for six months, it makes sense to trust the master.

The salon procedure will be more expensive, but the result will be more lasting. The price for a root perm is 3,000-6,000 rubles, depending on the level of the establishment, the skill of the hairdresser.

Who is the root perm suitable for?

With long hair

A change in the root structure of the hair will provide the lacking volume of owners of very long hair, which due to its severity fits snugly to the head. Other methods do not give consistent and noticeable results.

Breaking strands while blow-drying, combing and using hot tongs injures the curls at the very roots.

At the same time, there are no less aggressive methods of forming a lush hairstyle on long strands. The only alternative is a specialized perm.

For thin and thin hair

Owners of thin and rare strands know that with their "wealth" it is difficult to create a beautiful lush styling. If the haircut is short, styling products save, proper drying and competent styling. But this is not a panacea, and regular manipulations do not affect the condition of the hair in the best way.

The solution is to provide permanent volume.

For oily scalp

With an oily scalp, efforts to ensure root volume rarely give sustainable results - the structure will last, at best, until the next headwash. And with increased sebum secretion, you have to wash your head often.

Yes, and during the day, the selection gradually "eat up" the splendor of the hair, turning the styling into greasy sagging strands.

Having decided on a chemical perm, the client solves two problems at once: firstly, the composition dries out the scalp, eliminating excess fat content, and secondly, the volume created once will last for several months.

Perm length

Girls who make a permanent occasionally need to refresh their styling and resort to a second procedure.

Considering that the curls have already been formed, and only the growing roots need to be transformed, it makes sense to process the root zone and not damage the entire length with the chemical composition again.

How to get rid of the odor after root perm

Masters recommend several ways:

• use lemon juice or citric acid;
• rinse hair after washing with chamomile broth;
• use chalk or baking soda to neutralize any residues.
• How to make curls from roots at home

Curling iron

Use a curling iron to grab small strands, placing the appliance as close to the roots as possible. Wrap the length around the heated case. Soak for a few seconds and gently pull out the formed curl. Do not touch the curls until they cool completely.

Iron

Grab a section of hair near the growth line with heated tongs. Pinch your hair with the appliance and wrap a curl around the body. Slide the straightener smoothly along the length. Wait for the curls to cool.

Foil

Another way to create curls with an iron. Take a thin strand, wrap it with your fingers, forming rings. Wrap the resulting curl with a piece of thick foil, forming a flat envelope.

Hold the foil square with heated tongs. After a few seconds, the curl will be ready.

Thin curlers

Divide your hair into parting zones. Treat each strand with a styling product and wrap it tightly around the curlers, placing the bobbins close to your head. The styling can be dried with a hot hairdryer.

Unwind the curls after drying completely.

Pigtails

After shampooing, divide your hair into zones along the parting and braid. Disassemble dried pigtails with your hands, spray with fixing spray.

Attention! The more often the braids are braided, the smaller the curl will be. Do not comb the curls, otherwise you will break the formed locks and get excess volume.

Hairpins and invisible

Apply mousse to damp hair and twist the small bundles with your fingers. Secure each flagellum with a hairpin or invisible. After complete drying, disassemble the curls by hand, fix the styling with a spray.

Cocktail tubes

Cut the tubules into separate segments. Wrap wet strands on plastic tubes, secure with mini-rubber bands or clips. After complete drying, comb through the formed curls with your fingers.

Thread

Wrap the flagella or curls twisted from wet hair in a few tight turns with a thread. Dry your hair completely, and sort the curls with your fingers.

Rags

Divide damp hair into small segments. Treat with styling products. Form curls. Tie each ring with a piece of fabric. Wait for your hair to dry.

Remove the rags from your hair, straighten the hairstyle by hand.

Nails

Since metal conducts heat well, large nails can be used to create curls. Wrap a thin strand of hair around an iron nail, clamp it with a heated iron. Wait for the curl to cool completely.

Permed perm is a relatively new procedure that has not yet become widespread.

But it is she who effectively and for a long time solves the problem of straight, "not obedient" and thin or too heavy hair.
