Hair biowaving for medium hair: features and technology
The desire to acquire beautiful curly hair is increasingly leading women to such a hairdressing service as biowave. This method differs from the usual chemistry, therefore it finds more and more fans among women and young girls. Biochemistry has several varieties, so not only long curls, but also medium-length hair can be permed.
Peculiarities
The rapid pace of life of modern women sometimes leaves no time for daily hair styling in the morning. However, every woman, regardless of age, wants to always look attractive. In this case, a rather relevant procedure can come to the rescue - biowave, which can transform both long hair and curls of medium length. It is possible to achieve the desired result in a specialized beauty salon, entrusting your curls to the master. You can also transform your hairstyle yourself at home. Hair biowaving is able to provide a girl with a beautiful curly styling for any haircut, while eliminating the daily curling of strands with the help of curls, irons or curlers.
This procedure is carried out using professional drugs, the composition of which is distinguished by the presence of natural components. As a result of the reaction of the composition with the hair shafts, it is possible to fix the volume and make the curls curly for a long time.The main difference between the products used in the course of biochemistry and the classical perm is the replacement of all aggressive components that cause serious harm to hair with components such as various fruit acids, wheat extracts, etc.
As a rule, more than half of the components that are harmless to hair shafts are present in the total composition of preparations for biochemical curling, while chemical reagents account for up to 30%.
The main component of biowave preparations is cysteamine. The substance is able to remove excess sulfur, in addition, it has a positive effect on the structure of the hair shaft. However, it is this component that determines the presence of a specific aroma from curls for some time after curling. To carry out the curling, the master individually selects the shape and size of the curlers, as well as the composition for fixing. For medium-length hair, today there are options for hairstyles with large waves, spiral curls, as well as voluminous curls. The choice of the most suitable option will be based on the general style of the girl, as well as the desire to give the hairstyle one direction or another.
In order to choose the most harmonious version of biowave, one should take into account the following nuances of the client's appearance:
- face oval;
- facial features;
- structure and condition of curls;
- version of the existing haircut;
- type of staining.
For medium-length hair, there are no restrictions on the size of the curls created, however, the degree of fixation and the preservation of an attractive styling appearance will largely depend on the condition of the hair shafts before curling. Damaged strands will be more correctly subjected to light curling in order to reduce additional negative impact on their structure. As for not too thick hair, in the course of selecting the type of curls created, spiral options should be preferred.
There are some positive features that are inherent in biowaving carried out on curls of medium length:
- after the procedure, the curls retain their attractive appearance for quite a long time;
- in comparison with classical chemistry, hair shafts are subject to less negative effects from chemical preparations, since the composition of the agents used differs in the presence of natural ingredients;
- curls are not so dehydrated, which reduces their fragility in the future;
- biowave is universal, therefore it is suitable for hair of any color, including dyed and bleached strands;
- after the procedure, the original color remains at the original level;
- curls after biowave become very soft;
- if desired, curly curls can be straightened with an ordinary iron;
- over time, the regrown strands will not need to be cut;
- biowave can be done independently at home;
- the devices used allow you to create curls of different sizes, which expands the variations of the created images;
- among the varieties of such a perm, there are options during which only part of the curls in the root zone is curled.
However, the procedure is not devoid of some disadvantages:
- despite the fact that the fixatives used are 70% natural, the preparations still contain chemicals that negatively affect the structure of the hair shafts;
- after curling, the strands will need specialized regular care;
- after biowaving, the smell of the formulations used can persist on the hair for up to 2 weeks.
Taking into account the opinions of stylists and masters of beauty salons, biowave should be carried out on the hair no more than once a year. A similar interval is needed so that the hair has time to recover after exposure to the formulations.

Styling options
For medium-length hair, the biowave can be beautifully styled in three possible options:
- classic hairstyle with curly curls;
- volumetric styling;
- creating a wet effect.
In the first case, you will need to wash your hair, dry the curls naturally. Use a hairdryer if necessary. Apply mousse or styling foam to the strands, fix the strands by squeezing them along their entire length.
Then you can fix the result with the help of varnish, after distributing the curls evenly over the entire head.
The next option involves dividing the entire hair volume into two parts. From the available mass on each side, it is necessary to take one curl, lubricating it with a special gel and squeezing, as in the first case. Then you need to let the hair dry, collect it high on the back of the head, and fasten it with hairpins in a criss-cross position for volume. A vertical curl looks especially beautiful in this look.
To create a wet effect on the curls, apply a foam to clean, damp hair, then use a hair dryer with a diffuser to dry the strands, forming an air flow in such a way that it is concentrated on the root zone. It is not necessary to dry the curls to the end, they must dry naturally. For a longer lasting result, the styling can be secured with varnish. As a rule, all of the above methods of styling your hair with a perm will look beautiful for about 3 days.
