Chemistry for long hair: features and technology of performance

Every woman wants to be beautiful, but for each this concept is different. Despite the fact that now at the peak of popularity thick and straight hair, they are not suitable for everyone. And in order to gain a zest or simply to make your hair thicker, there is an effective procedure - chemical perm hair. About how to do it yourself at home, what curlers to choose, as well as about the care after the procedure will tell this article.

A perm is a procedure in which hairs are wound on different size curlers (depending on what you want to get as a result), after which a composition is applied to them that changes the structure of the hair.

To recreate the curls used various types of curlers, including papilotki, big curlers, boomerangs and others.

Despite the well-known to many rather severe damage to hair, this procedure remains relevant for girls with straight and sparse hair.

Chemistry for long hair looks better than for short or medium length, because it is long hair that can show all the beauty and luxury of curls.

It is worth noting the fact that despite the fact that the essence of the curling process remains the same, the compositions have become less toxic and do not cause as much damage to the curls as it was before.

The price for perm hair varies in the range from 6 to 9 thousand rubles. Sometimes the amount may be higher depending on how long and thick hair you need to process.

As with any procedure performed on the hair, perm also has advantages and disadvantages.

A number of benefits of perm includes the following items.

1. First and foremost is the winning appearance of the hair. After a well-performed procedure, the effect of salon styling can even be created.
2. Saving time, which was previously assigned to laying.
3. Curls do not fall off after rain or snow. However, if the hair is wet, the effect may disappear for a short time, but reappear as soon as the head dries.
4. It can solve the problem of oily hair and oily scalp, as the compositions rather dry skin and curls.

As for the minuses, it is worth highlighting the following points.

1. Due to the compounds that adversely affect the hair, a loss of healthy shine is possible.
2. After processing, the curls can become lighter by 1 or 2 tones. If the short hair is not very noticeable, then for owners of long hair can be a surprise.
3. The effect, which causes the application of the composition, leads to the fact that the scalp is overdried, so after dandruff is likely to occur.
4. Curling saves time set aside for laying, but does not release it. In any case, the curls need combing, daily care and simple styling.
5. Last, but perhaps the most important minus is the presence of allergies. Modern compositions sometimes change the quantity and quality of chemicals contained in them, so it is imperative that you check your body for allergies before the procedure. More on this talk below.

Immediately it should be noted that despite the fact that the wave does not go to everyone, large “airy” curls remain in fashion for several years.

If you are as natural as possible, then it is best to use curlers of various sizes for the curl procedure.

Stylists give several recommendations on what types of girls are best to “wear” curls.

• Tall girls with long hair can try small curls, but you should not do like girls of low or medium height.

• For owners of square faces, it is preferable to make horizontal curls. The same applies to those with a rectangular face.

• Be sure to make a haircut "cascade". It will be more profitable to look with any curls on long hair.

• If you are the owner of a long, but rare and not voluminous hairstyle, then a perm will be your salvation.

• Afrozavivka suitable for girls with high and pronounced cheekbones.

The chemical wave is divided into several types according to the composition used.

1. Alkaline. It can be used only for hair with high fat content, but soft curls. The effect persists up to 3 months.
2. Acid. Due to its aggressive composition it penetrates the hair, revealing scales, therefore it can be used for tough, thick and thick strands. Pretty durable - lasts about 6-8 months.
3. Neutral. It is used for weakened and damaged curls due to its gentle impact.
4. Amino acid composition. Differs in soft influence, keeps not for long, curls turn out soft, "air", on rigid hair can even turn into waviness.
5. Silk. Contains silk proteins, which have a therapeutic effect on curls. Also not very durable.
6. Biochemical. Contains protein compounds that also nourish hair, make it stronger and stronger. Suitable for long, loose curls.

It is no secret that not only the size of the curlers used, but also their location affects the overall look of the hairstyle.

One of the obvious advantages of long hair is that their happy owners have many ways to cheat curls.

So, the most famous methods of winding imply such methods.

• One of the most famous ways to get fine curls. The hair is divided into several parts (it is desirable that they be divided into an even number) and after them the braids are woven. For curls and on the tips of the latter are wound on bobbins.

• The next way is "curling and twisting", in which for one strand are used two bobbins of different sizes. Quite often used for styling, because it looks pretty impressive.

• Combined, or "twin." In this embodiment, the curlers on the sides are arranged symmetrically to each other, and in the middle there is a continuous row of curlers.

• Radical wrapping. In this case, the curlers are applied only to the area of ​​hair near the roots and parting. Relevant for those girls who have sparse straight hair. Gives volume hairstyle. Sometimes used to correct the perm, helps correct the irregular shape of the head.

• Vertical wrap method. This method creates the effect of flowing curls. Truly beautiful can look only on long hair.

• The so-called "children's" waving. The procedure has a peculiarity - before applying the composition a rubber cap is put on the head, in which there are many small holes. The result is a specific wrap, but it happens without harm to the scalp.

• For long curls is also an excellent option would be wrap the tips. This will add hair splendor, sophistication, but will not greatly injure them.

• It is worth noting the well-known method of "carving", which is a light perm. There are two types: large and small. Its peculiarity is that the procedure uses gentle formulations. True, such a curl is kept from one to two months.

1. Take a small lock from the back of the head. Apply the finished composition to it and hold it for 3 minutes.
2. Watch the curl's reaction to the composition. If it has become gray, too soft, and the tips almost fall off, then you should not use such a reagent and it is best to buy another. If the hair does not have a strongly pronounced reaction, then we can conclude that the composition suits you.

It consists of the following steps.

9. After 15 minutes pass, release one strand on the top of the head, on the sides and on the back of the head. This is necessary in order to assess the degree of the resulting curling. If you do not like the way it looks, fasten the curler again and keep waiting. Do not exceed the holding time of the composition indicated on the label.
10. Rinse off the hair. In this case, the curlers can not be removed.
11. Now you need to put a retainer. He usually goes in the set. You need to use half the required amount.

For long hair, the curl is the last thing that keeps the most, as the curls fall off under the action of its own weight, so they need special care. The process is further complicated by the fact that the hair after such a procedure loses its structure and is strongly dried, broken. Improper care can even lead to their loss.

In order to keep the curls longer, you need to use special shampoos and other cosmetics for the care of curly hair.

As a rule, the tips of the hair after waving leave much to be desired, so you just need to cut them off. It is not necessary to remove the length, it will be enough to trim them. Make it desirable in the first 3 or 4 days after curling. There is another rule relating to this period - you can not wash your hair for the same amount of time.

Minimize the use of a hair dryer, ironing - do not dehydrate your hair even more.

You will also need to purchase a special massage comb with rare teeth. It will help to unravel and properly comb curls. Strengthen hair and “from the inside”: enter omega-3 or seafood into your daily diet.

Curls need protection from the rays of the sun in the summer, and in the winter - from the cold. Use different moisturizing masks, both natural (from oils) and products of various brands.

If at first styling of long hair after a perm does not cause any special problems and takes little time, then after a while you will have to use styling products.

For the effect of "wet hair" you can use the same styling gel. If all of you want to add volume to curls, then skins and mousses are suitable for this. In the case when you will need pronounced curls, then use wax for styling.

By the way, curls can be laid in the good old way - with the help of a hair dryer and a round comb.

In conclusion, I would like to note that perm is considered one of the most toxic procedures for hair. Therefore, it is best to contact a professional and make it in the cabin. But if there is no such possibility, then in any case, you should visit a professional for personal consultation. He will tell you the condition of your curls and advise the composition, as well as give other useful tips on the procedure at home.
