Modern types of perm hair

Modern types of "chemistry" for hair

Over the past few years, many new curling technologies and formulations have appeared, with the help of which it is possible to create beautiful large curls or small curls for several months.

All types of curling that are offered in salons today can be roughly divided into two types - classic and light (sparing).

The main advantage of curling with the use of gentle formulations is that the drugs used do not harm the hair. They allow you to create curls of different shapes and sizes, providing a gentle effect and without destroying the hair structure.

But at the same time, modern hair chemistry has a significant drawback - a short-lived effect. After light curling, the curls last for an average of 2-3 months.

Despite the emergence of gentle drugs, classical chemistry has not lost its relevance. Curling with the use of potent chemical compounds is very popular due to its long-lasting effect.

Curls retain their shape for 6 months, which is the main advantage of this chemistry.

But since preparations containing ammonia and other aggressive chemical components are used to create curls, there is a risk of side effects.

Strong drugs destroy the hair structure.

Because of this, the hairstyle after washing out the composition looks lifeless, the hair becomes brittle, dull and thinned. Therefore, after such a procedure, it is imperative to follow all the rules of care and make restorative hair masks.

Acid chemistry

This is one of the most popular methods for creating curls. The essence of this procedure is the use of drugs based on a substance called glyceryl monothioglycolate.

The active substances enter the hair, changing its structure.

A significant plus is that the active ingredients do not damage the protective scales. Thus, the harm caused to the hair is minimized. The hair does not swell much, which allows you to wind the strands with tension.

Strong tight curls are created through exposure to high temperatures.

Additional heating also has a negative effect on the strands. Therefore, this type of chemistry cannot be called harmless. Due to the drying effect, these formulations cannot be used on fine, dry hair. Such a perm can only be done by owners of strong and healthy hair.

Alkaline perm

Alkaline permanents have been used to create curls for a long time. But modern gentle drugs have not supplanted this type of chemistry. Such a perm provides a shorter lasting effect than an acid perm. But it is suitable for dry hair. Also, this type of chemistry solves the problem of naughty strands.

• As a result, it is possible to create elastic and natural curls.
• For this curling, drugs are used in which the main active ingredient is ammonium thioglycolate. After being applied to the strands, the composition reveals a protective layer of flakes. Because of this, not only a change, but also a violation of the hair structure is possible.
• There is a risk of brittleness, dryness, split ends, and a washcloth effect.
• If you are choosing between acidic and alkaline chemistry, be aware that alkaline drugs work more gently.
• Alkaline perm will not work for owners of hard, thick hair, since it will not be possible to achieve a long-lasting effect.

Thioglycolic acid perm

This is a gentle kind of chemistry. It is applicable for colored strands. The composition used is practically harmless to hair. But you should not count on a long-term effect.

Curls after this procedure last for about 30 days.

Neutral chemistry

This modern perm is suitable even for soft hair, as it does not have a damaging effect. The preparations used contain keratin, which smoothes the scales, restoring the protective layer.

In terms of the duration of the effect, this chemistry is superior to alkaline, but inferior to acidic.

It should be borne in mind that neutral chemistry has one feature: after this procedure, you must use hair products with a neutral pH level. Otherwise, the curls will quickly straighten and the effect will be short-lived.

Amino acid chemistry

To create curls, preparations with amino acids and proteins are used. The composition also contains chemicals, due to which the formation of curls is ensured. Amino acids and proteins neutralize the negative effects of chemical active ingredients.

In addition, such formulations have a regenerating and healing effect.

The only drawback of this procedure is that the curls last up to 2 months.

It is not recommended to do an amino acid perm on long strands, since the curls will quickly straighten.

Biowave

This modern curling technique is popular with women of all ages. Have such a perm 3 main advantages:

• curls last up to six months;
• hair looks natural;
• the hair structure is not damaged.

The compositions used do not contain aggressive components such as ammonia. Thanks to this, the harm caused to the curls is minimized. For biowaving, drugs are used, the composition of which is similar to hair molecules. They gently and carefully affect the strands, forming tight, beautiful curls.

The hairstyle gets extra volume, the curls look luxurious and well-groomed.

Biochemistry will be a good solution for those with naturally curly hair. As a rule, natural curls are formed only in the lower part of the strands, and in the root zone, the hair is straight.

Biowave will add additional root volume and make curls neat and even.

This perm involves the use of three formulations. First, a protein composition is applied to form curls. Then the strands wound on bobbins or curlers are treated with a protein thickening agent. At the final stage, a composition is applied to fix the curls.

Biowave should be chosen by girls with normal or oily hair. For owners of dry, weakened strands, this is not the best type of chemistry.

Hair carving

This is another modern curling technique that allows you to create small curls, large curls and even vertical spiral curls using gentle formulations. Carving is the safest procedure for hair. In time, it takes 1.5 hours.

Such a perm is performed in several stages:

1. The hair is combed and divided into several sections.
2. One section is treated with a special gentle compound.
3. Thin strands are wound on curlers.
4. The same is done with all the strands.
5. After a certain time, the hair is washed with plenty of running water and dried.

Light chemistry looks natural. Another advantage of this procedure is that the curls are straightened evenly. This eliminates the need to adjust the hairstyle. After completely washing out the composition, the hair looks the same as before curling.

Like any type of chemistry, carving has its limitations.It is not recommended for long, thick hair. The gentle composition is not able to form tight curls that will hold on to such heavy strands.

Also, this perm is not recommended for dyed and discolored weakened strands.

Carving is suitable for medium length strands and short haircuts. The duration of the effect is from 4 to 8 weeks. The formulations used have a drying effect.

Light chemicals are recommended for owners of oily hair.

Modern perm with natural silk

Can chemistry be absolutely safe for hair? Yes. An example of such chemistry is the "silk wave". This procedure involves the use of a preparation that contains silk proteins. They do not contain hydrogen peroxide, ammonia and other potent substances that negatively affect the hair.

After curling, even damaged strands without shine will look healthy and beautiful.

Natural silk perm is ideal for short haircuts and owners of medium strands. Silk is a fiber, the structure of which has many similarities to the structure of hair. The proteins of this fiber have a therapeutic effect, restoring the integrity of the structure of each hair at the molecular level.

This modern type of curling not only allows you to create beautiful bouncy curls, but also restore the lost health and beauty of your hair.

Silk chemistry is suitable for owners of weakened hair. It can be done during pregnancy, during breastfeeding. There are no contraindications, except for individual intolerance to the components of the drug. Therefore, silk curling can be considered universal.

How long the curls last depends on the thickness and length of the hair. On average, curls retain their shape for 1-2 months.

Japanese chemistry

In addition, the preparations used contain keratin. This amino acid makes hair strong and elastic. Betaine, which is also found in these formulations, nourishes curls and gives them an attractive shine. And the shape of the curls is fixed due to the presence of silicon-cystine in the composition.

The unique formula of the drug allows you to simultaneously form tight curls and restore damaged hair structure.

This type of perm is suitable for loose hair of any length.

There is only one limitation: perm using Japanese technology cannot be done more often than once every 6 months. It is necessary to give the hair a rest for at least 1 month after straightening the curls. It should also be borne in mind that this is an expensive procedure.

But the safety for the hair and the long-lasting effect fully justify the cost.

American Chemistry

The types of curling differ in the composition used, as well as the technique of winding the strands. One of the modern varieties is American technology. The strands are wound on special curlers or knitting needles. As a result, after the procedure, beautiful large curls are formed. D

Bio-sparing formulations are used for this curling. Therefore, you should not worry about damaging your hair.

As the chemical is washed out and the roots grow back, the border between the part of the strands treated with the bio-composition and the roots is invisible. Therefore, even after many months, your hairstyle will remain neat and effective.

Vertical

Also known as spiral. If you have a thick long braid, and it is unrealistic to wind it in a horizontal position, the vertical curl option will be the best.Here you need to vertically position the bobbins, starting from the roots to the very ends, and wind the curl in a spiral.

Let's mention the curlers. To do this kind of chemistry, adjust the bobbins with cone-shaped holes through which the hair will then be pulled.

The best quality is considered to be wooden or plastic bobbins. And due to the conical shape, the curl can be curled evenly.

Spiral chemistry can also mimic damp curls. Its convenience lies in the fact that the roots that grow back can be tightened without any problems.

The components can be anything you like. Everything is based on how long a woman plans to wear such a perm. In addition, the substance affects the curls in different ways. At the end of the chemistry, the strands will fade and weaken, or, conversely, they will revive and begin to shine even brighter.

Electric curling

It is used only for those girls who can boast of full healthy curls, and is performed exclusively in professional beauty salons.

Initially, the hair is moistened, after which it is wound on whooping cough and connected to a special device (the procedure time and temperature can be adjusted as needed). As a result, you can enjoy wonderful weightless curls.

Preparing to curl your hair

For everything to go safely, the strands should be carefully prepared. The preparation process consists of 10 basic steps.

• Initially, you should familiarize yourself with the structure of the hair. Understand how elastic it is, how dense and durable. This is done in order to select a specific type of curl.
• If the curls are thick, you should use the strongest possible fixation, because, otherwise, curling them will be simply unrealistic.
• If the strands are thin and rather rare, then it will be easy to curl them. It is worth using a weak remedy.
• Curls that are not prone to elasticity tend to stretch strongly after curling, and can no longer return to the opposite position. So it will be necessary to refrain from chemistry in this case.
• Excessively dry hair is also not recommended to curl, because it will become even more brittle and torn.
• At the second stage, it is necessary to analyze the condition of the scalp. If there are injuries or wounds on the skin, or a skin disease, then the perm will also become clearly superfluous.
• Next, we test how sensitive the scalp is. For the test to be carried out correctly, you need to wet the cotton wool with a hair curler and wipe some of the strands over the ear with it. After 10 minutes, pay attention to whether the skin is reddened, whether a rash or irritation has appeared on it, after which you can safely begin the procedure.

If you experience any troubles, thoroughly quickly rub the skin with peroxide. Such a sign will indicate that you are prohibited from perming.

• The curls are checked for fixation. This is necessary in order to understand how much of a substance you will use. Grab the hair, wet it with the drug and hold it for a few minutes. See how strong the hair is, whether it breaks when pulled.

If its strength has not decreased, you can start curling. And if the strand is like tow and comes off easily, the concentration of the product should not be so strong.

• Wash your hair. The shampoo will help loosen the flakes, resulting in a much better result.
• Cut your curls. This can be done both before and at the end of the procedure. This will help freshen the ends and shape your hair.

When is it contraindicated to perm?

Hair chemistry is prohibited if:

• The woman is pregnant.
• Nursing mother.
• The curls are dry, too thin and unhealthy.
• The girl is prone to allergic reactions (initially it will be necessary to conduct an allergy test).
• Before curling, the hair was dyed with henna or basma.
• The girl is very sick with something and takes medications.

Description of the procedure

The main feature of a perm is to change the structure of the hair with the help of special solutions. The strands need to be wound on curlers of the selected shape and diameter, treated with their composition, and after a while wash it off.

In 10-30 minutes, the active ingredients penetrate into the curls, providing a long-lasting curling result.

Types of curlers and methods of winding

If the perm composition affects how well the curls come out, then the curlers determine the overall look of the hairstyle.
