The result is strong and curly hair that lasts at least 6 months. It is undesirable to do such chemistry on soft and thin curls. In addition, there is a more gentle version of acid chemistry, it is performed using thioglycolic acid, but it is characterized by a short-term effect (curls persist for only one month).

This method of wrapping involves the use of Olivia Garden curlers, thanks to which the curls are hard and large. In addition, after hair regrowth, the transition between natural and curled curls is not observed.

The twisting of the strands in this case is carried out from the ends to the roots, placing the bobbins perpendicularly.

The work is carried out using soft papillotes, the curl is created by bending and fixing the ends of the stylers. The peculiarity of the technique is that each strand must be separated in a zigzag manner, and the curlers must be arranged in tiers.

During curling, only the root area of ​​the hair is treated. It is usually used to correct overgrown areas and obtain additional volume.
