What types of curls are there? Fashionable perms for medium hair (50 photos) – Spun and spun

The perm was invented by hairdresser Karl Nessler in November 1906. His first client was his wife. For hair health, permanent curling is, of course, not the most useful method, but beauty, as they say, requires sacrifice, and the number of girls turning to a beauty salon to get the desired curls is growing.

Hair perm methods

Hair perming can be divided according to the type of chemical composition that is used to treat the hair. Our mothers and grandmothers curled their hair using an acid and alkaline permanent wave. These methods are still relevant, in addition, acid and alkaline perms last on the hair for as long as possible - from six months or more.

Acid hair curling

The curling agent penetrates into the hair without exposing its outer scales. This results in a very tight curl. However, if you have thin and soft hair This type of curling is contraindicated for you - the curls will quickly lose their shape and stretch out at the roots. To the owners sensitive skin scalp and dry, brittle hair, this type of chemical is also not suitable, it will completely destroy the hair, and you will have to cut your hair very short and treat your hair with masks.

Acid perm using thioglycolic acid is very fragile; lush curls lose their volume after just over a month. However, this is the most hair-friendly method. This perm is recommended even for recently dyed hair.

Alkaline hair curling

less persistent, lasts up to 3 months. The curls are elastic and look natural. Unlike acid perm, here the drugs penetrate into the hair, opening its outer scales. This procedure is gentler on the hair, but still not suitable for many hair types. If your hair is straight, coarse and heavy, it will become even less durable and will last about a month. Alkaline curls are cheaper than acid curls.

Neutral hair curl

has long been known for its softening properties and is suitable for all hair types. The chemical composition of the drug includes allantoin, the curls are strong and elastic, and the curl itself is relatively stable and will last from three months to six months, depending on your hair type.

Amino acid hair curling

contains amino acids and proteins. They nourish and heal the hair, which helps minimize the negative effects of chemicals on the hair. The curls are soft and look natural. Unfortunately, curls don't last long. This method is not suitable for coarse, heavy and long hair, because... curls will develop very quickly under the weight of its own

Hair curling "Silk wave"

The product contains silk proteins, which care for hair and do not damage the hair structure. Even bleached hair looks healthier after such “chemistry”.

Biowave hair

The composition of the biowave does not include ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and thioglycolic acid; they are replaced with a drug similar to the hair molecules that connect the sulfur bridges of the hair. Curling based on such preparations not only gives your hair long-lasting curls, but also gives it an absolutely natural and healthy look. There are several bio-curls technologies, for example, “Angel Curls” or Italian technology using bamboo extract.

Japanese hair curl

with lipid-protein complex LC2 is recommended for weakened hair. It is more durable than silk, and the biphasic lipid-protein complex regulates hair moisture, maintaining shine and elasticity. The cost is approximately the same as for the “silk wave”.

American hair curl

ideal for hair middle length. The difference between the American perm and other types is that it uses special complex designs made from Olivia Garden curlers.

Root chemistry

An excellent solution for short hair and shoulder-length hair that lacks volume. Root chemo is also done when permed hair has grown noticeably. Root chemicals for straight hair will allow you to lift the hair, for example, at the back of the head. The effect of this type of curling is lost as the hair grows, and at the roots it will be noticeable within a month. Curling the ends of hair is an excellent solution for thin, rare hair, trimmed in steps or in a cascade. The hair becomes fuller and serves as an excellent base for creating hairstyles.

Wellaformers replaced curlers and curlers. In beauty salons, hair curling technology has recently appeared using latex bags that compress and curl the hair. This device is called a wellaformer. As a result of using this new product, you will get tons of voluminous yet soft wavy curls. When curling hair with wellaformers, it should be of medium length or slightly longer. This is due to the fact that the hair at the roots in this case remains straight.

Good master in good salon will definitely tell you which type of curl is best for your hair. Before the procedure itself, professionals in their field will first of all conduct a strand tensile test and a reagent test on the skin. A skin test behind the ear is done to determine if you are allergic to the selected composition. After this, you will be asked to do a test on one strand with the selected drug. This is required in order to determine the concentration of the composition suitable for your hair type. If after using the drug they look dull and unhealthy, then the concentration of the drug is reduced.

In some cases, the stylist may refuse to perm your hair. For example, if they are discolored or unhealthy to the point that many of the hairs in the test strand break when pulled. The reason for refusing to perform the procedure may be ordinary henna. It clogs the hair scales and prevents the product from penetrating inside. Before applying chemicals to your hair, you will be asked to make an alcohol-oil complex to draw out the remnants of henna from your hair, but one session is not enough.

If you've recently dyed your hair, you'll need to wait a bit longer to curl your hair. It is not recommended to do chemistry during the “ critical days" If you were going to cut your hair and curl it, then do the chemistry first, and then the final haircut, but not vice versa.

If the master immediately offered you a perm without preliminary testing, or the salon only practices one type of permanent hair perm, which may not suit you at all, it is better to find another master in another salon.

There are two methods of performing a perm: direct and indirect.

Direct method. Each strand is moistened with a chemical composition and wound onto bobbins according to classic scheme.

Winding according to the classical scheme (Fig. 1, a) begins from the lower occipital zone of the head. Then the hair of the middle and upper occipital zones is curled, then the temporolateral and, finally, the parietal. All hair is curled in the direction of its natural growth.

Indirect method. Wet hair is wound onto bobbins according to any pattern (Fig. 2, b, c), and then moistened with a chemical composition.


a - classical; b - directional; c - variable

Wetting the hair with the composition in this case is carried out in three steps:

*a small amount of the composition is applied to the hair to soften it slightly;

*a medium amount of the composition is applied to the hair to thoroughly moisten it;

*carry out control wetting of hair.

The composition begins to be applied from the lower occipital zone.

After choosing the perm method, you begin to wind your hair with bobbins, taking into account the following:

  • the width of the strand should not exceed the length of the bobbin;
  • the thickness of the twisted strand should not be greater than the diameter of the bobbin;
  • The strands must be pulled strictly perpendicular to the head.
  • One perm requires 50g of the composition.

Put an insulating cap on the curled hair and leave the mixture on for 10 to 40 minutes. The exposure time depends on the concentration of the chemical composition and the condition of the hair. When using climazone, the exposure time is halved.

After some time, it is necessary to check the quality of the curl, for which they unwind (not completely, but only 1-2 turns) and twist back 3-4 bobbins in different zones, and also compare the diameters of the bobbin and the resulting curl. If these diameters coincide, then proceed to the next stage: the composition is washed off with hot water without unwinding the bobbins.

Then fixation is performed by laying a napkin tourniquet along the edge hairline so that the fixer does not get on the face.

Currently, two types of fixer are produced: ready-made and concentrated.

For one fixation you need 50g of fixer (3-5% concentration of hydrogen peroxide). If the fixer is ready, it is applied using a sponge or applicator to the bobbins and foamed so that a foam cap is formed. The exposure time of the composition on the hair is 10 minutes. If the fixer is concentrated, it must be diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio before application.

After the foam has settled, the bobbins are untwisted and the fixer is applied to the ends of the hair for another 5 minutes. Then the fixer is washed off with clean water.

After this, final work is performed: neutralization with a special composition, styling, cutting, drying, etc.

Perm performed using braids and bobbins

Wet hair is divided into zones, as shown in Fig. 2, a.


a - division of hair into zones;b - braided braids with ends twisted onto bobbins;c - the resulting hairstyle; arrows indicate the direction of hair separation

The area of ​​the first row of braids should be 5cm wide. The number of braids depends on the thickness of the hair; the thickness of each braid is 2-2.5 cm. The hair is braided tightly; The ends are not braided, but wound onto bobbins and secured with an elastic band.

The zone of the second row of braids should be slightly wider than the zone of the first row, and the third - wider than the zone of the second row.

In this way, the hair is processed row by row up to the top of the back of the head.

Strands of hair in the temporolateral and parietal zones are braided into thicker braids (3-3.5 cm).

After all the hair is braided and the ends of the braids are twisted onto bobbins, they are impregnated on all sides with a chemical composition and left for 15-25 minutes, depending on the condition and structure of the hair. Then the braids with bobbins are washed very thoroughly with water (t = 50...60°C) and a fixer is applied, which is kept for 10 minutes. Next, the fixer is washed off with water, the bobbins are removed, the braids are undone, and the hair is washed with water again.

At the end of the perm, the hair is washed with a medicinal emulsion and combed with a large-toothed comb.

Hair is dried in a natural way or using a hairdryer.

The hairstyle turns out natural, with large curls.

This combined method of chemical perm is recommended for those who do not curl their hair with curlers.


To make hair look lush and thick, as well as to make it easier to style, the root method of perm is used (Fig. 3). It is recommended for sparse or excessively grown hair after perm, as well as for hairstyles in which it is necessary to create volume at the roots of the hair.

The essence of the root method of curling is that not all the hair is curled, but only part of it at the root, leaving the ends of the strands straight or maintaining the same curl on them.

You can start wrapping from any area of ​​the head. However, it must be borne in mind that if the hair has previously been permed, then the bobbin should be wound at a distance of 2 cm from the regrown part of the hair. For example, if the hair has grown 8cm, then the bobbin is installed at a distance of 10cm from the edge of the hair.

The strand is wound around the bobbin in a figure eight. In this case, the end of the strand is in the left hand, and with the right hand they hold the part of it that is located on the bobbin. Having made the required number of turns towards the hair roots, the bobbin is secured with an elastic band.

Having twisted all the hair in this way, proceed to the next stage of their processing: a chemical composition is applied to each bobbin so that it does not get on the untwisted ends of the hair.

The exposure time is 10-25 minutes (depending on the hair structure).

All subsequent stages root curl similar to the stages of classic perm.

Spiral hair perm using modified bobbins

There are two ways to perform spiral perm (Fig. 4).

Spiral perm and two ways to do it


A strand of hair is separated in the form of a square (starting from the lower occipital area), twisted into a rope and wound in a spiral onto a bobbin. In this case, the turns of the spiral are placed close to each other. The direction of twisting the tourniquet and the direction of winding it onto the bobbin must coincide.

A strand of hair is separated in the form of a square (starting from the lower occipital zone), while it is not twisted into a bundle, but is immediately wound in a spiral onto a bobbin, placing the turns close to each other.

Corrugated hair perm start from the lower occipital zone. Select a strand of hair in the form of a square and tightly wind it onto a plastic hairpin using the figure eight principle. Next, all stages of classic perm are performed.


With a corrugated perm, you get the same curl as with a perm using braids.

Perm on boomerangs (Fig. 6) allows you to get a voluminous curl. In this case, the bobbins are wound in a checkerboard pattern. All other stages are the same as in a classic perm. The width of the strand should not exceed the diameter of the bobbin.


Perm hair with ring curls

Perm with ring curls (Fig. 7) is used to create volume on short hair. The hair is divided into strands in the form of squares, the size of which depends on the desired effect, and arranged in a checkerboard pattern. The larger the square, the more voluminous the resulting curl will be. The end of the strand is wrapped in a special piece of paper, the strand is twisted into a ring curl and secured with a non-metallic curler.

Perm hair - Types and types

Perms have a long history, and it took a long time before the procedure was perfected. After all, just recently, in all Soviet hairdressing salons, clients were curled in the same style so that they looked like lambs. Such chemistry looked unnatural and even comical; on top of everything else, it also burned hair - in a word, it disfigured women as much as possible.

Nature has endowed few representatives of the fair sex with luxuriant curls. But charming curls suit almost everyone - they make a woman's facial features softer, giving them a femininity. And for those who always want to have beautiful hairstyle with curly hair, there is a wonderful solution - perm, which can completely change a woman’s image and hide some imperfections in her face shape.

Chemistry is an auxiliary method for hair styling. She prepares her hair for curling. Recommended for those who use curlers or curling irons every day. In addition, thanks to chemistry, the problem associated with oily hair is eliminated.

The effect of curly hair usually lasts for 3-4 months depending on the quality of the chemical composition. But, nevertheless, it should be taken into account individual characteristics structure of human hair.

Currently, dramatic changes have occurred in the field of hair perm. Modern chem. perm has high-quality, highly effective preparations and means that allow any improvisation of perm from the smallest to large curl. All that remains from the previous chemistry is the principle of hair curling, which is based on changing the structure of the hair. Everything regarding the methods of approach to the procedure and the method of curling, they have improved so much that this has allowed modern chemistry to damage the hair at a minimal level.

There are many types and types of hair perm:

Types of hair perm

    Acid-based curling. Provides lasting hold, suitable for all hair types, but has a strong effect on the hair.

    Alkaline perm. This type has a gentler effect on the hair and gives the curls a natural look, but is not suitable for all hair types and lasts no more than 3 months.

    Neutral curl. It has a gentle effect on the hair due to the fact that this curling method is pH-neutral. Suitable for all hair types, works equally well on all areas of the hair, regardless of the degree of hair damage.

    Amino acid perm. The amino acids and proteins contained in the composition penetrate into the hair during the procedure and help it recover faster.

Types of hair perms

    Curling on curlers creates the effect of naturally curly hair with light wavy curls falling on top of each other.

    Spiral perm great for long hair. After curling, the small spirals curl into rings without twisting with each other.

    Perm “on a pigtail” Suitable for shoulder length hair and below. Strands braided into small tight braids, the ends of which are twisted into bobbins, are treated with a chemical composition.

    Perm “on a stiletto heel” Looks good on shoulder length hair. Strands of hair are wound onto a hairpin made of non-metallic material.

    Perm with twisting the second bobbin- part of the strand is wound onto one bobbin, and then “twisted” the second. The result is curls of varying sizes.

    Perm "children's". Its purpose is to eliminate the influence of the composition on the scalp. The head is covered with a plastic cap, strands are pulled through the holes in it and a regular perm is done.

    Basal A perm is performed on the part of the strand adjacent to the scalp to create fullness at the roots or to obtain curls at the roots of the hair if the hair that was previously permed has grown back.

Unfortunately, perms have a strong effect on the hair structure, which in some cases can lead to serious problems. To minimize the possible adverse effects of perm, follow simple rules:

  • do not dye your hair before perm;
  • If you are sick, put off getting a perm;
  • choose curling products that contain less alcohol and lots of nutrients;
  • to wash your hair after a perm, use a special shampoo for permed hair or a mild shampoo for damaged and weakened hair;
  • to moisturize and strengthen your hair, restore its shine and silkiness, make hair masks containing beneficial substances (moisturizing panthenol and keratin, collagens, silk proteins), as well as hot masks using hair oil;
  • after a perm, the ends of your hair often begin to split, so regularly trim the ends of your hair a little or apply a special cream to the ends of your hair;
  • To best preserve your curls, comb your hair only with wide-toothed combs.

Perm as a process and mechanism of change...

Perm as a process

The mechanism of changing hair shape during perm. Perm is a process as a result of which the hair acquires volume and pliability, and the strands curl into curls of varying sizes and rigidity. A wide variety of hairstyles are performed using perm. The main task of this procedure is to make the hair able to maintain its desired shape. The principle of operation of any of the permanents entering the market today is the same as it was 60 years ago.

Human hair is made of keratin, a water-insoluble protein containing spindle cells. In turn, keratin consists of amino acids, one of which is cystine, which stabilizes the protein structure, but under the influence of perm preparations it breaks down at the site of the cystine bond:

S - CH2 - CH(NH2) - COOH

S - CH2 - CH(NH2) - COOH

Once this bond is broken, the hair becomes pliable. Since the hair is wound onto bobbins, in cross section they take the shape of an ellipse. It is known that straight hair is round in cross section, wavy hair has the shape of an ellipse, and strongly curly hair has a flattened ellipse (Fig. 82).

To restore the elasticity of the hair, oxidation should be carried out, for example, with a weak 1-3% solution of hydrogen peroxide or a ready-made fixer. In this case, the cystine bond is restored. However, due to the hydrolysis of keratin amino acids under the action of a perm preparation on them, irreversible processes also occur - a decrease in hair mass.

The chemical process occurs at pH = 9 - 11; The higher the pH of the composition, the stronger its effect on the hair. Hair swells faster, cystine rupture occurs faster S-S connections, but hydrolysis of hair amino acids also occurs more actively. Therefore to

The choice of exposure time and concentration of the drug should be approached individually, depending on the Hair, its structure, condition (dry, oily, normal), and the effect of oxidative dyes on the hair.

Stages of perm. There are three stages of perm. On First stage Produce chemical exposure using compounds and physical impact using bobbins. These two processes are called plasticization.

On Second stage They produce a chemical effect - they secure the newly formed bonds with the help of a fixer.

On Third stage Neutralization is carried out - hardening of keratin.

The principle of perm. The strength of the hair is ensured by the presence of disulfur bridges, which create an internal connection in the keratin chains and give the hair its shape.

IN first phase perm, a chemical process of deoxidation occurs. The deoxidizer brings hydrogen into the hair, which breaks the disulfur bridges. During this phase, chemical action occurs.

In second phase Cheating occurs. The hair changes shape when wound with bobbins. The broken disulfur bridges in the keratin chains are displaced and the hair takes on a bobbin shape. During this phase, mechanical action occurs.

IN third phase Fixation occurs.

Thanks to the oxidizing agent contained in the fixative, oxygen is released. By combining with hydrogen, it restores disulfur bridges. Hair is fixed in new form. Its integrity and strength returns to it, but in a new form (Fig. 83). During this phase, chemical action occurs.

The ideal percentage of deoxidation is 30% of destroyed disulfur bridges, which allows you to get an elastic curl and maintain the quality of the hair. On average, this means that every third bridge must be broken. To do this, it is very important to choose the right chemical composition and accurately observe the exposure time. For example, if you choose too strong a chemical composition or increase the exposure time, the hair will become sensitive and will not hold its shape well. On the contrary, if you choose a weak chemical composition or reduce the holding time, the curl will be very weak, and such a chemical perm will last a very short time.

Alkalinity and acidity of solutions. A chemical indicator of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution is expressed through pH. pH scale incl.

Some values ​​range from 0 to 14; pure water, considered a Neutral Substance, has a value of 7 in the middle of the scale. A solution with a pH value below 7 is Acidic, and a pH value above 7 is Alkaline. An alkaline solution causes hair to soften and swell, while an acidic solution causes hair to shrink and harden. There are instruments and paper indicators with a special composition for determining the pH of various solutions. Thus, when a piece of paper soaked in nitric acid salts is immersed in an alkaline environment, its darkening is noted. In an acidic environment there is little or no color change. If you wet your hair with water and check the pH, the resulting value in the range from 4.4 to 5.5 will correspond to the norm of a slightly acidic reaction. Perm compositions have a pH of about 10 with a shift towards the alkaline side. The acidity index in neutralizing substances is about 3, this indicator is located on the acidic side of the scale. Until the master studies the condition of the client’s hair and has data on previously carried out cosmetic procedures, you should not use solutions with a pH closer to 7. Ignorance can lead to damage to the client's hair.

Alkaline perm. The main active ingredient in the alkaline curling composition is ammonium thioglycolate - chemical compound, formed by the reaction of ammonia with glycolic acid, the pH of an alkaline curling lotion formulation is usually 8.2-9.6 depending on the amount of ammonia. This composition penetrates the hair faster than the acid-balanced one. Sometimes alkaline perms are performed using a perm compound with water, some hair requiring a plastic hood, others not.

The benefits of alkaline perms include Stronger curls (usually last longer); Possibility of processing at room temperature.

Alkaline perm is used to style hair that is difficult to process, as well as to obtain a mulberry curl if the client’s previously obtained a perm that was too weak.

Acid balanced perm. The main active ingredient in acid-balanced formulations is glyceryl monotiglycolate. Its pH is lower than that of an alkaline composition. This formulation is gentler on the hair and usually produces less tight curls than an alkaline cold perm. An acid-balanced lotion has a pH of approximately 4.5-6.5 and penetrates the hair more slowly than an alkaline lotion, so the hair treatment takes longer. The heat used in this case can be of two types: from the chemical reaction itself (exothermic

Czech method); from an external source - usually a climazone or an infraheater (endothermic method).

Recently, new acid-balanced formulations have been developed that allow curling at room temperature. They have a slightly higher pH than regular ones, but the active ingredient is the same.

The benefits of an acid-balanced perm are softer curls and a longer but controlled treatment time. An acid-balanced perm is done if the hair is naturally fragile or dyed; In order to get curls or waves close to natural, perm serves as the basis of the hairstyle. The disadvantage is that an acid-based perm is less durable than a classic (alkaline-based) one; after 4-6 weeks, the hair becomes less voluminous.

Composition of neutralizers. Neutralizers for acid-balanced and alkaline perms perform the same function: to fix curls for a long time. Neutralization is a very important stage. If the hair is not neutralized correctly, the curl may weaken or develop after shampooing. Basically, neutralizers consist of a relatively small amount of hydrogen peroxide, an oxidizing agent and an acidic pH. Methods for using neutralizers vary.

Neutral perm. Just like an alkaline-based perm, it has a pH value of 7.4, but is much more gentle than acid-based chemicals.

Scientists developed the neutral perm method taking into account the fact that hair has so-called hydrophilic zones (water-repellent), which easily absorb excess perm liquid, unlike hydrophobic zones. Neutral perms smooth out these differences. She protects sensitive areas, while healthy areas begin to absorb liquid more actively. As a result, the hair does not experience additional stress, as it does not swell too much. Neutral perms are ideal for clients whose hair feels rough after a perm and requires more protection. A special keratin complex, already during perm, smoothes out damage that appears in the stratum corneum and takes care of the elasticity and stability of the hair.

Choosing a permanent. The decision about what type of permanent should be used (acid-balanced or alkaline) is made based on the type of hair.

Modern permanent treatments offer a wide range of choices. There are alkaline compositions for bleached Hair and acid-balanced ones - for hard, unruly hair. Each of them gives excellent results if you select them correctly and follow the instructions.

Preparatory work. TO preparatory work Perms include:

*Preparation of the workplace;

*Inviting the client to the chair;

*Conducting dialogue;

*Washing hands and disinfecting instruments;

Preparation of devices: two non-metallic bowls (one for composition, one for fixer), two sponges (small for composition, large for fixer), applicators, gloves, measuring cup, insulating cap and bobbins;

Combing hair and performing diagnostics: determination of hair condition (natural, dyed, bleached), texture (thick, medium, thin), structure (oily, normal, dry), length: up to 15 cm or more, sensitivity (test: applied on the bend of the elbow or behind the ear composition and stand for 5-10 minutes);

Covering the client with linen;

Perform hygienic washing.

All haircuts with a clear, geometric shape are performed before perm.

Types and sizes of bobbins. Bobbins can be concave or straight. Concave bobbins are narrower in the center, gradually towards the ends

Expand; As a result, the curl is steeper at the end and looser at the roots of the hair. The diameter of the Straight Bobbin is the same along the entire length, and the curl is even. The bobbin is equipped elastic band(with an elastic band) attached to one end and secured to the other when the hair is already curled.

When choosing the bobbin size, you need to take into account the desired number of curls and the physical characteristics of the hair. The number of waves, curls and volume of hair are determined by the master and the client in a preliminary conversation. The type of hairstyle depends primarily on the size of the bobbins, their number and placement on the head. When choosing bobbin sizes, hair characteristics such as length, elasticity and texture are taken into account, with the latter being the most important. So, with a rough texture and good elasticity, you need to divide the hair into small strands and take large bobbins. Medium texture and elasticity require dividing the hair into medium strands; The bobbins should also be of medium size. If you have a fine texture and poor elasticity, you should divide your hair into smaller strands than with a medium texture; bobbins are taken from small to medium to prevent hair damage. To curl the hair on the back of the head, take the smallest strands and the smallest bobbins. To perm long hair (longer than 15 cm), they are divided into small strands and curled evenly and close to the head. Dividing into small strands promotes uniform wetting.

Perm hair

Many women dream of beautiful curls, but not everyone is blessed with curly hair. One option to achieve the desired effect is perm.

Many of us have probably experienced the disappointment of having a “classic” perm. Spoiled, incomprehensible color hair sticking out in all directions and one dream - to cut it all off as soon as possible. Now there are opportunities to minimize the adverse effects of chemicals on hair; it is possible to choose a perm not only in external indicators, but also according to the type of your hair.

True, a lot will depend on the hairstylist who will perm your hair. From my own experience, I can say that my most successful perm was the very first one. It was done with soul, but in completely unimaginable conditions, with the most ordinary “Lokon”. I was not able to achieve such a result again, which is a pity.

A true professional will definitely analyze your hair type and select a curl according to the results. So, for example, for the tired hair will do gentle acid perm. Unlike conventional chemicals, acid perms have a pH value between 6 and 7, which almost corresponds to the natural acid protective coating of the skin and hair. This means that acid perms won't strain your hair too much. If you have sensitive skin on your head, a biological perm containing sulfides is suitable for you and is very gentle on the scalp. Ordinary chemistry is only suitable for healthy or very fine hair. Its only advantage is that it lasts at least twice as long as any other curling option.

And yet, the choice is yours.

So, what you need to consider when making your choice:

Negative points:

Any hair requires care and attention; a perm will not save you from the hassle of styling and care, rather the opposite. Despite the fact that gentle options have now been developed perms, however, the hair is under stress and negative impact and need rehabilitation treatment. Permed hair requires careful combing and styling.

A gentle perm lasts less than a classic perm.

Success will largely be determined by the professionalism of the master. He will not only do a high-quality perm, but will also help you decide on the type of perm depending on the structure of your hair, its health, the expected size of the curls and their rigidity. If you are not confident in the master, you risk ruining your hair and mood.

There are a lot of undesirable aspects that can reduce the results to zero. More on this later.

You may have to tint your hair, as it may still lose its original color.

If you live in an area with a hot, dry climate, this can also be bad for your hair. They will require more careful care.

Permanence. If you change your mind, you will have to wait a long time until your hair becomes natural, and perhaps part with a stubborn part of it.

And now about the positive aspects:

If you have a humid climate, and at the same time you love curls, you should choose a perm, because in the rain, in damp weather, the permed curls will only be clearer, which cannot be said about the curls laid with curlers or curling irons.

Permed hair can be styled less frequently.

Hair becomes more manageable.

If you have oily hair, chemicals will dry it out.

Perms add volume to hair.

Permanence. This can also be a positive quality if you make the right choice.

If you have an unbearable desire to do chemistry and this will simply make your soul calmer, do it, taking into account all the necessary information for the right choice.

You should not get a perm if:

  • your hair is exhausted, sick and requires restorative treatment.
  • your body is weakened by illness or stress.
  • you are pregnant or taking hormonal medications that affect the hormonal levels of your body, so to speak, creating the effect of “imaginary pregnancy”.
  • you are breastfeeding.
  • you are having your period.
  • If your blood pressure is high, if it is low, try to raise it by drinking a cup of coffee.
  • in the room where perm is performed at less than 24°C in winter and 22°C in summer.
  • you are allergic to the drug.
  • Have you recently tinted or dyed your hair? After coloring your hair, you need to wait 2-3 weeks for the perm. Take this time to intensive care for hair.
  • the day before you treated your hair with a composition containing metal or urzol (for example, “Hair Color Restorer”, etc.)
  • you constantly use products containing silicones. If these are shampoos with conditioner, then the silicones contained in it will dissolve in water, just warn your hairdresser to remove any remaining product with an exfoliating shampoo. Read more about silicones below.

"Killers" of perms?

Silicones in combination shampoos

(material is based on the book "500 hairstyles and makeup tips. Advice from professionals")

Products called Two-in-one (two products in one bottle) are becoming increasingly popular. Are they to blame for a failed perm?

Silicones are different

1. Water-soluble silicones form stable foam and are especially used in shampoos. They are not deposited in the hair.

2. Silicone oils increase shine and make hair easier to comb. They are found in mouthwashes, medicinal products and many combination products. These oils do not dissolve in water, but are washed off with shampoo. At frequent use they accumulate in the hair.

3. High polymer silicones glue the split ends of the hair. Silicones, especially those that are included in the liquid for the care of hair ends, are deposited in the form of a dense film on the hair and are difficult to remove.

Weak perm, dull coloring and hair that hangs limply after every wash - many women face these difficulties. But few know how to deal with this.

Meanwhile, the use of combined products has simplified hair care. Shampoo and conditioner in one bottle is a wonderful discovery. Time is saved, and often this type of hair care is cheaper. It's no surprise that two-in-one products have now captured about 15% of the market share. However, the growing popularity of these products scares many hairdressers. “Perm, coloring and tinting of hair no longer works as well as before. Hairdressers are increasingly complaining about this,” says B. Müller, Chairman of the Board of the Central Union of German Hairdressers. Hairdressers suspect that the culprit of the above-mentioned troubles is the silicone contained in many products.

Silicones are widely used in hair care products and are essentially harmless. In many combination shampoos their share is negligible. Drops of silicone that are deposited on the hair make it softer, shiny and easier to style. However, with constant use of shampoo, more and more droplets of silicone are deposited on the hair, which form a film and close the pores. Further types of chemical treatments, such as tinting or perming, can no longer have the desired effect on the hair. First of all, delicate fine hair becomes heavy and the curl does not hold on it.

H. Daniel from the Union of Industrialists and Manufacturers of Hygienic and detergents, defending the new shampoos from attacks, refers to in-house tests and studies that were conducted in New Zealand and the Scandinavian countries and did not find a deterioration in the quality of perm and toning. But since the research has only recently begun and the results of longer trials have not yet been received, hairdressers' doubts seem to be justified.

Undoubtedly certain types silicones are always deposited on the hair. Silicones are specially introduced into the hair end care liquid to achieve just this effect. Therefore, if you intend to get a perm, you should not often use products containing silicones.<:>

  • Combined shampoo should not be used daily, but not more than twice a week. The rest of the time, use regular shampoo.
  • You need to buy a combination shampoo according to your hair type and use a small amount for each wash.
  • To wash delicate, thin hair, combination shampoos can be used only in exceptional cases. Hair quickly becomes covered with silicone and becomes limp.
  • For hair oversaturated with silicone, the cosmetic industry produces special neutralizers that prevent the deposition of silicone on the hair. These products are convenient for those who do not want to hesitate with perm.
  • When asking a hairdresser for a perm, toning or coloring, be sure to tell him about the previous hair care.

About perm

What is a perm?

Perm is common name a process as a result of which the hair becomes voluminous and pliable, the strands curl into curls of varying sizes and rigidity.

What happens to hair during perm?

The hair substance softens under the action of acid (thioglycolic acid), its natural sulfur compounds dissolve. At this stage of curling, the hair takes a new shape with the help of curlers or curlers and is fixed in it.

Which perm is right for your hair?

This entirely depends on their thickness and condition.

It is believed that the thinner the hair, the more demanding it is for perm products, since thin hair itself is soft, weak and sags quickly. Therefore, the curling product must be strong enough to lock fine hair into its new shape. Thick, fine hair is naturally stronger and retains its shape better, so lighter chemicals are enough for them. Classic perm Best suited for healthy hair. If done correctly, it lasts from three to six months. True, it is not harmless to hair, therefore, in order for it to maintain its shine and healthy appearance, you have to use special rinses and balms.

If you have sensitive scalp, it is better to choose a bioperm, which contains sulfide instead of thioglycolic acid and is gentle and gentle on the hair and scalp. The new product is pleasant to the skin: the foul-smelling and burning ammonia is not included in its composition. Instead, natural urea is used, which causes the hair to swell before curling. This substance is almost odorless and does not pollute the environment. But still, no work can be done without hydrogen peroxide, the oxidizing agent that is included in the hair bleaching cream. long-term perm. And this operation also tires the hair.

For tired hair, chemicals with an acid base are suitable. Unlike the alkaline composition for classical perm, the acid composition has a pH value of + 6-7, which is approximately equal to the pH value in the anti-acid layer of hair and skin, which naturally facilitates the penetration of acids into their structure. The disadvantage of an acid composition is that it is less stable than an alkaline one. The perm lasts about half as long as a regular perm with a classic composition, about 4-6 weeks. Unfortunately, acid perms are not suitable for all hair types. So, for example, it is useless to try to do an acid perm on so-called strong hair - smooth and so straight that after each attempt to make waves, it returns to its previous state. They simply do not accept the chemical curling fluid. If your waves don't last at all, ask your hairdresser to test your hair with a special device or just do a test curl on one strand.

And finally, neutral perm is a new product. It has a neutral pH value, is less damaging to the scalp and works equally well on all areas of the hair. There are areas on every person's head where the hair is either too unruly or damaged. Thus, one part of the hair lends itself well to perm, while the other does not. And the consequence of this is uneven curling, often without shine. Neutral perm has a uniform effect on the hair and is suitable for all hair types. It's also ideal for those who want to do their own perms: it's sold as a wave foam with integrated nutrients. A special keratin complex, already during perm, smoothes out damage that appears on the stratum corneum and takes care of the elasticity and stability of the hair.

When making your choice, consult a professional hairdresser. He will help you figure out what is right for you.

TYPES OF PERMS

Curling on curlers

This type of curling creates the effect of naturally curly hair and creates light wavy curls.

For curling curls, the upper hair is divided into “steps”. This gives the hairstyle additional flexibility. The hairdresser separates the appropriately wide strands and winds them into large curling irons. They need to be arranged randomly. The hair strands should be curled in the same direction, but not parallel. This will create a picture of beautifully flowing, naturally curly hair. Then curling agents are applied. It is selected taking into account the structure and condition of your hair.

Spiral perm

Perfect for long hair, but can also be done for hair length up to the earlobe.

The peculiarity of spiral “chemistry” is the shape of the curls. Long hair is twisted in small strands into small spirals. After curling, they curl in rings without twisting with each other. The hairdresser achieves the same effect with a regular perm if he first twists it into bundles. individual strands. It is recommended to dry spiral chemicals at room temperature or with a hairdryer with a diffuse nozzle. It acts as a filter, allowing air to pass through many small holes, without tangling your hair.

Perm "on a pigtail"

Suitable for shoulder length hair and below. The peculiarity of this perm is that strands braided into small tight braids, the ends of which are twisted into bobbins, are treated with a chemical composition. But you can also twist the entire braid. This achieves an interesting effect.

Perm "on a hairpin"

Looks good on shoulder length hair.

The peculiarity of this perm is that strands of hair are wound onto a hairpin made of non-metallic material.

Perm with curling the second partsticks

The peculiarity of performing this type of perm is that part of the strand is wound onto one bobbin, and then “twisted” the second. The result is curls of varying sizes.

Children's perm

The purpose of performing a “children’s” perm is to avoid the composition on the scalp and hair roots.

This kind of curling is done like this. The head is covered with a plastic cap. Using a regular crochet hook, strands are pulled through the holes in the plastic cap made with the same crochet hook. Next, the usual perm is done.

Perm "Twin"

This type of perm is distinguished by the shape of the curl: half of the strand has curls in the form of vertical curls, and half - in the form of horizontal curls.

Root perm

It is used in cases where it is necessary to perm a part of the strand adjacent to the scalp, for example, to create fullness at the roots or to obtain curls at the roots of the hair if the hair, previously permed, has grown back. The length of the strand to be curled is selected as desired.

Advice:

In order to preliminarily determine the expected curl shape and appearance of the hairstyle using non-traditional types Perm can be permed by moisturizing the hair strands with plain water with the addition of beer in a 1:1 ratio or with the addition of citric acid(add citric acid to 1/2 cup water on the tip of a knife).

A few hours after perming, the hair should be rinsed with acidified water (a tablespoon table vinegar per liter of water);

On the day of curling, do not comb your hair;

For 2-4 days, do not wash your hair or heat-treat it, for example, using a hair dryer, hot rollers, etc. is not recommended.

Do not use electric tongs;

You can't comb your hair with a brush. A comb or wide-toothed comb is more suitable for this;

Do not overdry your hair, try not to expose it to direct rays of the sun, be sure to rinse your hair after swimming (in salted or chlorinated water);

In order to improve the hair structure, do not use urine therapy, since the curl may soon “develop”;

Use special nourishing shampoos and balms to wash your hair;

It is advisable to conduct a health and restoration course for hair.

Gentle hair washing. Ideal for washing with super-mild shampoo for damaged hair after perm or washing with shampoo and conditioner. Hair breaks less as it becomes more elastic. You need to lather your scalp and hair roots with shampoo. It is enough to clean long hair with the remaining shampoo flowing down the hair.

Recovery at night. The effect of chemicals during curling affects not only the external, but also the internal structure of the hair. Protein compounds disappear, which give the hair strength and at the same time make the hair elastic. The consequence of this is dry, brittle hair without shine. A special course of treatment in ampoules restores damaged hair within seven days. The ampoules are used as follows: the liquid from the entire ampoule is applied to dry hair in the evening and combed. Overnight, it will be absorbed into the hair and begin to restore damaged connections. In the morning, your hair should be rinsed well.

Course of treatment in between. Instant action, ideal for women who have little time. To do this, just spray your hair with moisturizing liquid. An amazing double effect: nutrients are introduced into dry hair and at the same time the curl is “refreshed” through massage. For hair particularly affected by perms, it is necessary to apply a nutrient aerosol daily.

Regular energy saturation. Regardless of whether your permed hair looks faded or not, you should rinse it well after each wash. Hair masks should be done after every 3 or 4 hair washes. New perms contain lightweight nutrients such as moisturizing panthenol and hair growth-enhancing keratin, collagens and silk proteins. They also give elasticity to the curls.

Soft styling is acceptable. This applies mainly to long hair. Be warned: hot air from a hair dryer is poison. Dry your hair only with warm air using a diffuser attachment, otherwise the hair will become tangled and the curls will be unable to curl. New: drying under an infrared lamp - just like in a hairdresser. It is difficult to imagine a more gentle drying method. If you want to make fashionable" large waves", roll large sections of hair onto pre-heated Soft Styler hot rollers. The advantages of this method: the hair remains dry, the curlers cool within 20 minutes and do not require clips or pins.

Magnificent effective remedy- hot oil. This is the latest innovation: it strengthens the hair without leaving any traces of oil on it. Its secret lies in a new combination of ingredients from keratinates and protein hydrolysates and thermal action. Closed bottles with oily liquid should be heated for 2 minutes in hot water, then uncorked and inserted into damp hair. Thanks to the heat, the ingredients are evenly distributed on the surface of the head and have a better effect on the hair. Let the oil soak in a little and then wash it off with shampoo. Thanks to this treatment course, hair becomes healthier and more elastic.

Gone are the days when perms were considered the hairstyle of grandmothers and housewives. Today it is fashionable and less harmful to hair than it was 30 years ago. Chemistry for long hair is an opportunity to quickly style it into a stylish hairstyle. What types of perms are there and how to make the right choice - read below.

  • Acid perm

The active component for creating curls here is a substance such as glyceryl monothioglycolate. Hair curled this way lasts up to six months. This method is not the safest, but it does not reveal the hair scales.

This method is not suitable for everyone, because under the influence of acid, curls become more brittle. For those with sensitive scalps, it is better to do a more gentle perm.

Less persistent - lasts about three months. But the curl turns out to be steeper and more elastic. The big plus is that high temperatures are not used when creating a curl, and the curls turn out natural. The main active ingredient here is ammonium thioglycolate. It opens the hair scales and penetrates inside. This method is not suitable for coarse and straight hair.

  • With thioglycolic acid

This is a gentle type of acid perm, but the downside is that it only lasts for a month and a half.

Neutral look: major hair chemicals and other possibilities

The compositions for it are made taking into account the areas of the hair that absorb liquid well and are hydrophobic, so the hairs do not swell too much. This is a great opportunity to get major chemistry hair that will look natural.

  • Amino acid

Even less harmful than previous types. The composition includes proteins and amino acids that treat hair. The curls are natural and soft.

But it is not very durable, and is also not suitable for long or coarse hair.

  • Silk

The composition includes silk proteins, so it not only creates curls, but also treats them.

  • Bioperm

With this method, the hair not only curls, but is also saturated with protein. Curlers can be used in different diameters. Suitable for normal and...

Carving: the illusion of vertical perm or light chemicals

Carving is not exactly a perm, but rather a hair styling technology that then helps to give it any shape. Chemicals are used for it, but this is not exactly “chemistry” in the usual sense, but rather long-term styling, which lasts for a couple of months. Using this technique, you can curl the ends and create the illusion of vertical chemistry, light chemistry, and curl your entire head.

  • Wellaformer

This is not a method, but a device with which perm is done. Wellaformers are latex bags into which strands are placed. The curls are curled by compressing the bags.

  • Double wrap

Not a bad option for long strands. At the same time, at the roots they are wound onto strands with a smaller diameter, and the bobbins move towards each other.

  • Curling the ends

Allows you to adjust triangular face and make sparse and thin hair more voluminous.

  • Curling curls

The good thing is that the curls are softer and more natural, without hard creases

  • Root perm

It is good because, firstly, it adds volume, and secondly, it does not harm the ends of the hair. The method is also used if the hair has grown and there is a need to adjust the hairstyle. True, its effect is short-lived.

  • Bubble French method

The peculiarity is that the composition is whipped into foam before application. This provides perfect temperature regime, and the braids are saturated with oxygen. Thanks to the “bubbles,” the curls are as natural as possible.

Straightening or anti-frizz

Popular not only among dark-skinned girls, but also among our compatriots.

To straighten, a special composition is applied to the head and the hair is combed for a long time and carefully.

  • Wet chemistry

This style is also called vertical with spiral curls. This method of curling differs from other types in that the curls are small and the strands have a moisturized appearance.

In order for everything to turn out as beautiful as that of fashion models, you need to contact only a trusted specialist. Only thanks to his efforts will the curls be spectacular and healthy, and you will spend a minimum of time on styling.

Corrugation occurs using special non-metallic pins, on which the strands are arranged in a figure eight. After curling, the upper smooth tier of hair is lowered onto the corrugated lower one, which maintains the desired volume. The advantages of this curl:

How to choose a wave?

The choice of wave shape depends on the type of haircut. A bob or bob haircut looks great with small-diameter curls, spiral-shaped curls or curls at the ends of the hair. Cascading hairstyle looks great with large curls.



Chemistry allows further manipulations with styling:

  • Uniform curls can be made using standard bobbins, and various sizes bobbins, pointed at the tip, will help create waves.

When choosing suitable wave, it is worth considering the shape of the face. Waves are great for girls with long faces. If your face is rectangular or square, then it is better to prefer large horizontal curls. Chubby women should consider an uneven curl option. That is, the curls at the roots can be small, and larger downwards. Oval shape faces will suit almost any curling option.
