Hair biowaving: features and technique

Beautiful curls are the ultimate dream for many. It is impossible for a modern woman to pay attention and time to such styling every day. There are several solutions to this problem, one of which is bio-perm.

Regular curling is well known in the world of female beauty. As a result of this procedure, stable curls are obtained, which do not bloom on their own for a long time. This procedure has a detrimental effect on the hair, it turns out lifeless, dry and brittle. A completely different matter is biochemical perm. These two procedures are very similar to each other, but at the same time, the difference between them is enormous.

Biowaving involves the use of special formulations for treating hair, previously wound on curlers. More than half of such preparations (about 60%) consist of natural ingredients. This amount is enough so that the negative impact is reduced to a minimum, and the hair during the procedure can grow stronger and recover from the inside. It is this feature that distinguishes biowave from the usual chemical procedure.

There is also a significant difference in cost. The biochemical perm is several times more expensive than the usual procedure. For this reason, many people decide to perform biowave at home or even abandon this venture, choosing a more affordable option for solving the problem with thin and even hair.

No matter how safe and gentle a biochemical perm may seem, it has more than just advantages. Before a decision is made on such a change in your appearance, you must carefully study the disadvantages of this procedure. Let's start with the positives:

• the hair has 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;

• the hairstyle always looks beautiful with minimal maintenance;

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

• additional nutrition of the hair is provided;

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

• no restrictions for hair that has been dyed or lightened;

• additional volume that remains for a long time.

It is impossible to make a decision about the advisability of such a procedure without studying its negative characteristics:

• high cost, which often forces you to abandon the biochemical perm;

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

• hair care with the use of special products is required;

• styling must be carried out without fail, otherwise the hairstyle will not look spectacular and well-groomed;

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

Hair and scalp become drier, which is not a disadvantage for everyone. For example, in the case of oily hair, this feature of the procedure will be regarded as an advantage.

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

• allergy to components of biowave solutions;

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

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

• curls for extension are chemically treated and compacted, therefore compositions for biowave will not be able to qualitatively affect them;

• unhealthy scalp (wounds, inflammation, damage);

• hair that needs treatment may not withstand the curling process;

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

• stress, depression, emotional distress;

• staining that was carried out less than a week ago.

Only after a detailed study of all these points can conclusions and decisions be made. If it turns out to be against biowave, then you should think about other procedures that give a similar result.

Biological perm comes in several varieties. The main division is based on the formulations that are used to treat the hair. The first group of varieties of the procedure involves the use of formulations with amino acids. The second group is characterized by the use of drugs that consist of oils, vitamins and minerals. The latter option is more popular and demanded. The most common options stand out from the second group.

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

A biochemical perm can be performed at home, but in this case, you should not count on a long-term result. Also, you should not do biowave in the absence of certain experience. Doing the wrong things can cost you your hair health, which can be an impossible task to restore in the future.

Many experts recommend trimming split ends before curling. If this is not done, then the hair may deteriorate along its entire length, the curls will turn out to be tough, they will look sloppy and sloppy. Whether to trim the ends or not is everyone's business, but it is better not to ignore this recommendation of experts.

The step-by-step instructions are as follows.

1. The curl treatment compound is tested on a small area of ​​the skin. The result is evaluated after 15 minutes. If the skin has not changed its color, there are no unpleasant or painful sensations, then there is no allergy to the drug and you can use it for hair treatment.

2. The head is washed with a special shampoo, which will qualitatively cleanse the curls and open the cuticles.After such preparation, the result will be effective and long-lasting.

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

4. Protect the skin and clothing from the ingress of the compounds. You can put on a robe, cover your neck with a towel, and tie a tourniquet / bandage along the hairline.

5. Each selected part of the hair is divided into strands, which are alternately twisted on curlers. It is necessary to move from the central part to the lateral zones, you can also start working from the back of the head and move to the crown. You should not pull on curls. In the case of long hair, you can apply a small amount of the composition before winding, so as not to worry about the quality of the impregnation of the curls in the future.

6. The activator is applied with a sponge. Hair should be evenly saturated with this compound. A hat is put on top to enhance the effect. In this form, the head is left for the right time, which is indicated in the instructions for the drug.

7. Without unwinding the curls, wash off the composition with warm water without using shampoo.

8. We take the second sponge and saturate the curls 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, the neutralizer can be washed off. Apply conditioner and dry the curls naturally or with a hairdryer with a diffuser.

The whole process can be done at home even without outside help. It is important to choose high-quality drugs, strictly follow the instructions and not overexpose the composition. If the result does not suit you or you are simply tired of the curls, then you can perform the straightening procedure using a special neutralizer. Also, many salons offer keratin straightening.

The price to pay for hair care is not a particularly long-lasting effect. In this regard, classical chemistry is unambiguously in the lead. Nobody can say exactly how long the curls will keep their new shape. Usually, the result remains unchanged for up to two months. Then the curls will gradually lose their shape, but the hairstyle will still remain attractive and effective.

On the hair, the effect of curled curls will be noticeable for about 6 months, perhaps even 9. The duration of the preservation of the effect depends on the fineness of the hair, their length and the degree of curl of the curls. Fine and sparse hair holds curls longer. Long hair straightens faster under its own weight. Small curls will unwind longer than large ones.

Further care of the hairstyle is of great importance. Handling frizzled hair correctly will result in a more lasting and effective result. It is not difficult to take care of hair after a biochemical perm:

• after the procedure, for the first 4 days, you cannot wash your hair, pull the hair into a bun and collect it in a braid, otherwise you can inadvertently straighten the curls and disrupt their structure;

• you will also have to forget about a hairdryer, curlers, ironing and various means for fixing;

• hair can be dyed at least 14 days after the procedure, the dye should be gentle, without ammonia in the composition;

• to care for curled curls, you will have to buy special products that are recommended for curled hair;

• regular shampoo will also have to be replaced with a special one designed for curly curls;

• it is not recommended to use a vertical shower;

• it is better to buy curl care products in sets from one trusted and well-known manufacturer;

• only in the second week is it permissible to use silicone-based products;

• washed hair should not be rubbed with a towel, a hairdryer is used for drying in the cold air mode, but infrequently, or a natural drying method is chosen;

• for combing, you must use a rare comb with soft teeth;

• so that the curls do not become fluffy, you need to comb them only after they are completely dry;

• sprays are recommended that prevent hair from tangling and provide easy combing;

• in the process of laying, it is best to use foams with a light structure;

• every few months it is necessary to cut off the damaged ends, half a centimeter will be enough;

• untwisted curls need to be restored, they need treatment and additional nutrition, therefore, appropriate salon procedures are recommended (keratinization, Brazilian restoration and elumination).

Hair after a biochemical perm can be started to style after a few days. During this time, the curls will be well fixed in their position and will keep their shape for a long time. Curled curls do not need to be styled for a long time, spend a lot of effort and styling tools on it. This procedure is quick and easy.

In about 10 minutes, you can make your hairstyle attractive and neat. This result will last for several days. In the process of styling, it is better to use light foam. The easiest styling option is to apply a foam / mousse to damp hair, which then dries naturally. A hairdryer with a diffuser is used to add volume to the hairstyle.

After examining a large number of reviews that relate to biowave, a number of conclusions can be drawn. Most of the girls were satisfied with the result. The reviews mainly note the elasticity and natural look of the curls, the healthy appearance of the hair and beautiful shine. Owners of such hairstyles are especially pleased that they no longer need to spend time on long styling and the exhausting process of curling curls. At the same time, the hairstyle always looks fresh and well-groomed, as after a salon styling.

Of course, there are also less enthusiastic reviews. For the most part, they relate to a home procedure that was performed for the first time, without at least minimal experience. Such reviews indicate a short duration of curl retention and a mismatch of the result with expectations. Think carefully about home biochemical perm, weigh all the nuances so that in the future you will not have to regret wasted money, time and spoiled hair.
