Hair biowave: features and technique

Beautiful curls are for many the ultimate dream. To devote attention and time to such styling every day is impossible for a modern woman. There are several solutions to this problem, one of which is a biochemical waving.

Plain waving is well known in the world of female beauty. As a result of this procedure, stable curls are obtained that do not dissolve on their own for a long time. This procedure has a detrimental effect on the hair, they are lifeless, dry and brittle. Quite another thing - biochemical waving. These two procedures are very similar to each other, but at the same time, the difference between them is enormous.

Biowave involves the use of special compositions for the treatment of hair, pre-wound on curlers. Such drugs more than half (about 60%) are composed of natural ingredients. This amount is enough to reduce the negative impact to a minimum, and the hair during the procedure can become stronger and recover from the inside. This feature of biowave differs from the usual chemical procedure.

Also a significant difference lies in the cost. Biochemical waving is several times more expensive than a normal procedure. For this reason, many people decide to perform a biowave at home or refuse from this idea altogether, choosing a more affordable solution to the problem with sparse and even hair.

No matter how safe and benign the biochemical waving seemed, it’s not just advantages. Before you decide on such a change in your appearance, you need to carefully examine the disadvantages of this procedure. Let's start with the positive points:

• the hair is a gentle and delicate effect, which is the most important advantage;

• a wide range of formulations and curlers that can be used for this procedure;

• many techniques used in the process of winding and styling;

• hairstyle always looks beautiful with minimal care;

• formulations used during the procedure have a healing effect on the hair, restoring it from the inside;

• provides additional power to the hair;

• gradual straightening of the curls eliminates the need to shear the hair as it grows or to perform frequent correction;

• no restrictions on hair that has been dyed or brightened;

• additional volume that persists for a long time.

You can not make a decision about the feasibility of such a procedure without studying its negative characteristics:

• high cost, which often leads to the abandonment of biochemical waving;

• the structure of the hair shafts changes even despite the use of sparing compositions, for example, the tips can be split;

• compulsory hair care with the use of special tools;

• styling should be carried out on a mandatory basis, otherwise the hairstyle will not look spectacular and well-groomed;

• the smell on the hair persists for several weeks, especially clearly manifested in a humid environment.

Hair and scalp are becoming drier, which is a disadvantage not for everyone.For example, in the case of hair that is prone to fat, this feature of the procedure will be regarded as an advantage.

Special attention should be paid to contraindications. None of these points can be ignored:

• allergic to components of solutions for biowave;

• treatment, which is based on hormonal drugs and antibiotics;

• henna-colored curls will not be able to twist, since the natural coloring composition clogs the hair structure, therefore there is simply no room for other components;

• Curls for building are subjected to chemical treatment and compacted, because the compositions for biowave will not be able to qualitatively affect them;

• unhealthy scalp (wounds, inflammation, damage);

• hair in need of treatment can not withstand the process of curling;

• changes in hormonal levels, which can be caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, critical days;

• stress, depression, emotional turmoil;

• staining that took place less than a week ago.

Only after a detailed study of all these points can one draw conclusions and make a decision. If it turns out against biowave, then you should think about other procedures that give a similar result.

The biological wave exists in several varieties. The main separation is based on the compositions that are used to treat the hair. The first group of varieties of the procedure involves the use of compounds with amino acids. For the second group is characterized by the use of drugs, which consist of oils, vitamins and minerals. The latter option is more popular and in demand. From the second group are the most common options.

The compositions also contain collagen and tea tree extract. Japanese biochemical perm is more suitable for thick and long curls, on which the result is held for up to 5 months, which is an excellent indicator.

Biochemical curling can be done at home, but in this case you should not count on a long-term result. Also, do not do biowave in the absence of a certain experience. Invalid actions can cost you health of hair, the restoration of which in the future may be an impossible task.

Many experts recommend cutting the split ends before curling. If this is not done, the hair may deteriorate over the entire length, the curls will be tough, will look sloppy and sloppy. It is up to everyone to trim the tips or not, but it is better not to ignore this recommendation of specialists.

Step by step instruction is as follows.

1. Composition for the treatment of curls tested on a small area of ​​skin. After 15 minutes, the result is evaluated. If the skin has not changed its color, there are no unpleasant or painful sensations, it means that there is no allergy to the drug and you can use it to treat the hair.

2. The head is cleaned with a special shampoo, which will clean the curls of quality and open the cuticles. After such training, the result will be effective and long.

3. Hair should be slightly damp. They are carefully combed and divided into 6 parts.

4. Protect skin and clothing from ingestion. You can wear a robe, the neck is covered with a towel, a tourniquet / bandage is tied along the hairline.

5. Each selected part of the hair is divided into strands, which are alternately wound on a curler. It is necessary to move from the central part to the side zones, you can also begin work from the back of the head and move towards the crown. Stretch curls are not worth it. In the case of long hair, you can apply a small amount of the composition before winding, in order not to worry about the quality of impregnation of curls.

6. With the help of a sponge is applied activator. Hair should be evenly soaked with this composition. A cap is worn on top to enhance the effect. In this form, the head is left at the right time, which is indicated in the instructions for the drug.

7. Do not unwind curls, wash off the composition with warm water without using shampoo.

8. Take the second sponge and saturate the locks with a neutralizer, using only one part. After 15 minutes, remove the curlers and saturate the hair with the second part of the composition. After 5 minutes you can wash off the neutralizer. Apply conditioner and dry curls in a natural way or a hairdryer with a diffuser.

The whole process can be done at home even without help. It is important to choose high-quality drugs, to strictly follow the instructions and not to overdo it. If the result is not satisfactory or the curls are just fed up, then you can perform the straightening procedure using a special neutralizer. Also, many salons offer keratin straightening.

Pay for respect for the hair is not particularly long-lasting effect. In this regard, classical chemistry is unambiguously leading.To say exactly how many curls will keep their new form, no one can. Usually, the result is unchanged for up to two months. Further curls will gradually lose their shape, but still the hairstyle will remain attractive and spectacular.

On the hair, the effect of twisted curls will be noticeable for about 6 months, perhaps even 9. Depends on the duration of the preservation effect of thin hair, their length and degree of curl curls. Thin and sparse hair holds curls longer. Long hair straightens faster under its weight. Small curls will take longer to unwind than large ones.
