Spiral perm

Spiral hair curling - description

This is a kind of vertical chemistry. It is done using spiral curlers, knitting needles or "boomerangs" (the choice depends on what size curls you want to get in the end).

The spiral curl allows you to create curls of different sizes - from small Afro-style curls to large spiral curls that add femininity and sophistication to the image.

The main feature of this type of curling is the shape of the curls. The strands look like spirals. The effect of "jumping" curls is created. This hairstyle looks light and airy. However, it should be borne in mind that it takes a long time to create such curls. For winding, very thin strands are taken. Therefore, this process takes a long time, even if the hair is thin.

On average, the procedure takes about 5 hours.

Spiral hair chemistry is done most often on long or medium hair. This curling option is also suitable for some short haircuts. If you choose the right diameter of the spiral curls, you will be able to create a flirty, attractive image.

It is not necessary to limit yourself to the choice of a classic spiral curling, when curlers of the same diameter are wound over the entire length of the strands.

Today, salons offer many options for such chemistry. You can create a creative hairstyle by choosing a spiral chemistry with a "ripple" effect, "broken" curls, "zigzag", zonal or local spiral curls. It is preliminarily recommended to consult with a master who will tell you which type of spiral chemistry is right for you, taking into account the structure and length of the hair, type of face, etc.

How to make a spiral perm at home?

If desired, you can make a spiral wave at home. It is better to entrust thin and damaged hair to the hands of professionals, since you need to wind the strands in a certain direction and use a certain amount of the product, otherwise they can be damaged even more.

Now in cosmetic stores you can find a large number of styling and curling products. It is better to choose quality products, proven brands and not skimp on materials.

Stages of curling at home

• Hair cleansing. You can only perm on clean hair. The head should be thoroughly washed with a mild shampoo, but do not use scalp scrubs and do not wring out the hair after washing, so as not to injure them.

It is best to choose sulfate-free shampoos without harsh detergents and rinse your hair twice.

• Hair preparation. Dry your hair with a towel before perm. They should be gently blotted, but not blow-dried or oils or leave-in balms applied. The curling procedure is carried out on damp hair. After excess moisture has been removed from the hair, the still damp hair should be combed gently from the ends to the roots.

It is best to use a wide-toothed comb made from natural materials.

• Protection. During a perm, substances are used that are undesirable to get on the skin, eyes and clothes. Clothes need to be protected with cellophane or an apron, and the skin of the face with a greasy cream or petroleum jelly, applied along the edge of the forehead and temples.
• Selection of strands. For spiral curling to work, you need to carefully monitor the thickness of the strand. The ideal thickness is 1.25 cm. The end of the strand is wrapped with special paper and then inserted into bobbin and twisted so that the bobbin is perpendicular to the strand (if it is not a spiral). After that, the bobbin is bent and secured.
• Twisting the strands. You need to start winding the bobbins from the bottom of the head so that they can hang freely when winding the next one. During the procedure, the curls should be moist. If they dry out, spray them with water.
• Application of the product. Prepare the product according to the instructions, apply to each bobbin and leave for 10-20 minutes. After finishing the procedure, rinse your hair without shampoo.

After the procedure, it is advisable to purchase various hair products that will help restore their structure:

• Despite the fact that anxiety about hair is forced to use oils and masks more often, they can be applied not earlier than after the fourth shampooing, otherwise the effect of chemistry will quickly pass.
• Once the effect has taken hold, you can start using indelible oils and serums to restore dry and split ends.
• It is undesirable to wash curled hair often. Even if they are oily, perm will dry out the strands, so you need to wash them with shampoo every 2-3 days.
• Most often, women tend to make a long-term perm for the summer, but damaged hair needs to be protected from the sun, it is better to use special sprays with sun protection, and to wear hats more often.
• After curling, it is undesirable to often collect hair in buns. This weakens the curls, disrupts the nutrition and structure of the hair.
• Do not dye or lighten hair immediately after curling, or curl newly dyed hair. They need to be given time to recover, at least 2 weeks.
• Nothing helps repair damaged hair like natural oils. It is advisable to do oil masks twice a week at night or for an hour in the afternoon.
• Olive, almond, burdock oil is best for hair after curling. It must be remembered that burdock oil washes out the paint.
• Choose your shampoos carefully.It is advisable to give preference to mild organic shampoos specially formulated for damaged hair. The absence of sls, parabens and silicones in shampoo will help restore hair structure faster and stop hair loss.

With the right care, you can avoid having to go for a short haircut and avoid hair problems. But it is worth remembering that each subsequent perm gives less result, but increases the drying effect.

Types of curlers

The choice of foundation depends on the type and size of curls that you want to get:

• special cone-shaped or spiral bobbins;
• classic bobbins;
• "Boomerangs".

Attention! The best effect is achieved only when using special bobbins, which, in contrast to the classic ones, are long.

Modern bobbins are often equipped with spiral grooves for easy styling.

Spiral curling preparations

When choosing a perm product, first of all, you need to pay attention to the Ph values ​​of the drug. The higher the value, the more resistant, long-lasting effect of curls and more aggressive effect on hair.

• Acidic Permanent. Provides the longest-lasting perm. But today this type is practically not used, so the damage that it causes to curls is too great.
• Alkaline permanent. This is a classic curling preparation, but it has a strong ammonia smell and requires careful ventilation of the room.
• Acid-balanced permanent. It is more gentle than alkaline and suitable for weakened hair. But due to the delicate action of the drug, the effect of curls is short-lived.
• Gel curler, thanks to its structure, it is easy to apply and does not spread. It is usually used on part of the head - for individual strands with straightened curls, as well as for curling regrown roots.
• Foamy agent for a permanent it can create only a large wave, but it is one of the most harmless drugs.

Today, the drug and fixative can be purchased separately or as a set. The latter is preferable, since the means of one manufacturer will better interact with each other.

Hair Length Dependence

The good thing about spiral curling is that it is suitable for hair of any length and thickness. However, any type of hairstyle has volume and weight, so each length has its own style guidelines.

Spiral chemistry for short hair

This type of curling is perfect for those with short hair. The only condition is that the length of the strands should at least reach the earlobe. Curling on spiral curlers looks spectacular on bob-bob, classic bob or short cascade haircuts.

The diameter of the spirals is selected depending on the shape of the face. Small curls are not suitable for every type of appearance. This type of curling is worth considering for girls with an oval or round face.

If you have a triangular face (with a narrowed chin), you might be better off using medium-sized curlers to create larger curls. If you have a bob cut, it is best to wait for the hair to grow out first due to insufficient length of the strands. With such a short haircut, even neat spiral curls can look sloppy.

Spiral chemistry should not be done if you have an asymmetrical short haircut.

So that you can imagine how your hairstyle will look after a spiral perm, look at the photos of girls after chemistry on short hair. Pay attention to the type of appearance of each model in order to understand which spiral diameter is right for you.

Spiral curls work best on short, side-parted hairstyles.

Spiral chemistry for medium hair

If you have thick, straight hair of medium length, a spiral perm is ideal to create neat curls and make your hair look more voluminous. For medium lengths, any type of spiral curling ("zigzag", "broken", etc.) is suitable.

This is a universal length of strands for which you can choose curlers of both small and large diameters.

How tight the curls turn out, as well as the duration of the effect after chemistry, largely depends on the length and structure of the hair. On an average length, the spirals last up to 6 months. Curls last longer on thick hair. But for thin hair of medium length, such chemistry is also suitable. Thanks to this procedure, it will be possible to give the hair additional volume.

If you have fine, medium length hair, do not choose a large diameter curler.

To create volume, use spiral curlers of medium or small diameter. Large curls are not suitable for girls with a square face shape. The ideal curling option for such an appearance is spiral chemistry on medium-sized curlers. After this procedure, the curls will beautifully frame the face, softening its features.

Check out examples of this type of curling on medium length hairstyles. Spiral chemistry is done on hairstyles with oblique long bangs, on cascading haircuts of medium length, etc.

Spiral chemistry for long hair

This type of curling is also a good option for long strands, especially if you have thick hair. For curling long hair, in some cases, curlers of different diameters are used. The main thing is to make uniform and inconspicuous transitions so that curls of different sizes look harmonious.

It should be borne in mind that this procedure takes a long time if you have thick long hair. In addition, from the own weight of the strands, the curls straighten quickly enough.

When making such a perm using gentle formulations, do not count on a long-term effect. After 1-2 months, the curls will straighten. To keep the curls for a long time, you will have to use aggressive chemical compounds. In this case, it is important to ensure proper care of the curls in order to minimize damage to them.

Owners of long braids will be interested to see what spiral chemistry looks like on long strands. Neat spiral curls look very original and emphasize femininity.

How long does the effect last

The duration of the spiral curling effect lasts from 3 weeks to 8 months and depends:

• on the type of chemical composition used;
• from the individual hair structure: on coarse, thick and absolutely straight hair (for example, Asian type), the curling will last much less time than on thin and wavy;
• from the duration of the retention of the composition on the curls.

Consequences and care

Any perm is associated with exposure to aggressive chemical ingredients. Therefore, the curls require special care:

• it is unacceptable to use hair dryers at high temperatures, as this dries out the hair even more;
• it is necessary to apply cosmetics for dry, brittle hair;
• you can not dry your hair with a towel, and also sleep with a wet head: wet hair can stretch and break;
• do not apply deep staining for 2-3 weeks. To change the shade, it is permissible to use tonics.

In most cases, each successive perm is less effective than the previous one. Under the influence of chemistry, the keratin in the hair is converted into meta-keratin, which is immune to chemicals.

In order for the perm to become effective again, you need to wait until the hair grows back.

There is a misconception that curls do not require styling. In fact, without proper care, they turn into a cloud of matted hair. To make the hairstyle look good, you need to use special mousses for styling curls and products to get the effect of wet hair.

A diffuse hairdryer nozzle will also help to form curls.
