Carving for long hair: features of the procedure

Hair carving is a popular technique, as a result of which any woman can get a luxurious curly hair.

The technology of curling is a hair wrap and coating with a special composition, due to which the effect lasts quite a long time. If you do not go into subtleties, the result may somewhat resemble the once demanded "chemistry", but the basis of carving is the use of a more gentle composition. Not so long ago even biocarving appeared: it is a lightened variant of exposure.

After carving, the hair becomes more lush, the common problem of tangled strands is completely eliminated, and thinning hair visually becomes more dense. In addition, the time required to obtain a spectacular styling is significantly reduced.

The popularity of carving is due to its relatively gentle impact. The fact is that during the manipulations all active substances remain on the surface of the hair, not penetrating inside, respectively, and the structure of each individual hair is intact. That is why the carving technology can be applied even on thin and weakened curls.

The perm method is recommended for girls with disobedient strands that are difficult to style, and also recommended for hair deprived of its vital force from nature or as a result of prolonged illness. In addition, the method is ideal for those who are prone to high-fat hair because the compositions used have a slight drying effect.

The procedure is extremely effective on women with short hair, but on long-haired beauties carving does not last long (as a rule, the maximum is a month). The fact is that, under the weight of the strands, small curls develop, so the procedure simply becomes meaningless. As the composition is washed out, the hairstyle loses its attractiveness, since it initially already had a rather natural look and did not in any way resembled hours-long perm.

These days there are quite a few ways to curl strands, but professionals recommend making a choice in favor of carving, and for good reason:

• for carving use soft compositions that handle the hair quite carefully, without violating its integrity;
• the procedure is allowed to be held once a quarter, and not once every 6 months, as is the case with standard chemistry;
• curls take on a rather natural look;
• as we grow back, the border between native straight and curled hair is not visible;
• Some young ladies claim that after the carving procedure, the strands become stronger and shinier;
• carving gives a lot of room for modeling a wide variety of styles, so after cleansing the head, the owner of long curly hair can create quite interesting hairstyles in different styles;
• if some time after the procedure, curly hair bored, you can always straighten it with a regular ironing tool, and if it is not at hand, you can achieve the desired effect using a round brush and a hair dryer.

However, it was not without its drawbacks:

• if the curling is done on the elongated strands, then under its own weight the curls rather quickly straighten;
• after carving, you should use only specialized care products created for hair after dyeing, curling, restoring shampoos and conditioners are not allowed here;
• hair after carving can only be dried in a natural way: if a woman starts drying her curls with a hair dryer, then under the influence of hot air, her hair rather quickly straightens out, especially if the carving is done recently;
• carving has a drying effect, because naturally dry curls can become quite unpleasant to the touch, resembling straw;
• long-term styling sometimes lightens hair color;
• there are cases when dandruff appeared after the curl, which was managed only by serious specialized shampoos.

Separately, it is necessary to dwell on contraindications to the procedure.

1. It is strictly forbidden to curl expectant mothers and lactating women. Despite the fact that the procedure uses a lightened composition, which causes absolutely no aggressive reactions, it is still better to be safe from any potential adverse effects. In addition, due to the unstable hormonal background in the body of pregnant women, the final result of carving may be the most unexpected.
2. Carving must also be abandoned when the hair is too exhausted and dried out at the time of the salon visit. As a rule, the masters do not undertake work in a similar situation, but if the client insists, she should be prepared for the fact that instead of a stylish head of hair she receives a washcloth, which is unlikely to add any special appeal to her.
3. You do not need to carve on the newly painted curls, because during the procedure the coloring pigment can be washed out - in this case you should wait at least 3-4 weeks and only then proceed to the curl itself.
4. The procedure should be abandoned in case of any skin diseases on the head.

Technology carving involves the division of its 3 types.

In this case, the whole length of the hair wound bobbins of the same diameter and shape.

This technique is used on the curls of any length, including the long, with the need for spiral curlers, worn for the entire length. The result is quite elastic curls. Especially effectively this perm looks on a multi-stage cascade haircut.

This option is used exclusively for the creation of basal volume, so the master only works with this zone, they wind it up on rather large bobbins. However, for long strands, local carving is used not only at the very roots, but also at the tips. The main advantage of this technique is the reduction of the area of ​​the hair that has been subjected to chemical attack, as well as the ability to give an aesthetic look to the bangs and get soft curls that look wavy and well-groomed in any weather.

As a rule, carving is done only in salon conditions, the whole procedure lasts about 2 hours.To begin with, the master carefully examines the hair, determines its structure, since it is from this parameter that the duration of the drug's effect and the choice of the chemical composition largely depend.

Long hair quite often flogged. If such a problem really exists, you need to cut them before the start of the curl.

Work technology includes the following steps:

• cleaned and combed hair is divided into thin strands, then a small bobbin is wound on each of them;
• when the whole hair is completely wrapped, the hair is smeared with a specialized preparation and evenly applied over the entire surface of the head;
• wear a thick cellophane cap, carefully wrap a warm towel and withstand the necessary time;
• after that, they wash their heads with running water without using shampoo, but they do not remove their bobbins, and thoroughly soak their heads with a dry towel so that moisture does not drain on the face and shoulders;
• when the water stops leaking from the hair, apply a holding gel to the curlers and again maintain the necessary time.

Hair after carving requires special care regardless of where the curl was held: in an expensive salon or at home.

Experienced stylists advise representatives of the fair sex to follow a number of recommendations after the procedure, so that the result will rejoice as long as possible.

• To wash your hair, use only specialized products that are suitable for drained strands. Particular attention when choosing a shampoo should be given to its composition. So, any treatment products that contain alcohol are categorically not recommended.
• Strands after curling require additional moisture, and using such preparations, you only aggravate the condition of the hair and only dry them even more.
• Refuse from using products that offer a rectifying effect, otherwise the result will be extremely short-lived.
• If possible, after washing your hair, dry your hair in a natural way without a hair dryer or directing a stream of cold rather than hot air. The fact is that during the heat exposure, the internal structure of the hair shaft begins to break down. In addition, the hot air increases the dryness of the strands, as a result of such manipulations, the hair becomes very fragile and lifeless, it loses its natural elasticity and begins to fall out.
• Any hair coloring is permissible not earlier than 2 months after curling.
