Hair care after perm
Perm hair, despite the emergence of a mass of modern methods of creating curly curls, remains a fairly popular hairdressing service. The fundamental point that will be reflected in its result will be the follow-up care. Therefore, before choosing such an option for transforming curls, you should familiarize yourself with the features of independent procedures that hair will require after chemistry.
Effect of curling on hair
In beauty salons around the world, perm is still performed on women's hair of different lengths and colors, since this procedure makes it possible to transform hair and get a lush and curly hairstyle for each client for a long time. Today, craftsmen can perform such types of chemistry, which will differ in the type of composition used to treat curls, as well as the size of the bobbins, thanks to which the strands can be curled. However, dwelling on this type of transformation, one should be prepared for the fact that the hair shafts after a perm will need restoration and special care.
Chemistry allows you to make even thin and dull hair lush and beautiful, but the negative effects of drugs with improper care can lead to rather negative consequences. In order to avoid this, before chemistry, you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules regarding care, as well as the essence and influence of the curling procedure on the hair shafts.
Chemistry has positive and negative sides.As for the advantages, with the help of minimal effort, it is possible to transform the hair, getting curls, which in the future will not cause any particular difficulties in the styling process. Regarding the negative consequences after chemistry, it should be noted that the curls after exposure to chemicals will be damaged almost along the entire length, so the hair shafts will need to be properly restored.
All types of perm, even those that are positioned as biological treatments, will in any case negatively affect the structure of the strands.
The negative effect of the used curling compositions is primarily due to the change in the shape of the hair shaft. In the normal state, they have a rounded shape, and as for the curled hair, it already becomes oval. In the rods twisted for a long period, the bonds inside are thus broken, as a result, the keratin scales on the surface open, which makes it possible to give the strands the chosen shape. But the process of influencing the hair during chemistry does not end there, because in the resulting form the curls need to be fixed for a long time. Typically, a hairdresser will use a mild hydrogen peroxide solution for these purposes. Products from this category help the scales on the hairs close again, which ensures that the selected curling option is preserved.
Another negative point of chemistry is the depletion of the hairs by the loss of the soluble part of the bar, which leads to the fact that after curling they become lighter than in their natural form.
Comparing the results from the first curling and subsequent procedures on the hair, you can see that their quality, along with the amount, dramatically deteriorates. This is due to the fact that natural keratin in the hair shafts gradually breaks down, and metakeratin appears instead. It is he who prevents the formation of curls in the future, which makes the curling limited in the number of performances.
As for the devices used, for ordinary chemistry, the master in the salon can take a variety of curlers, thanks to which light waves or voluminous curls are formed, as well as unusual vertical spirals, zigzag curls.
As a rule, the first results after a perm are pleasing to their owners. Hair becomes soft and silky, and the high level of moisture does not spoil the styling, but, on the contrary, makes it even more attractive. Styling does not require a lot of time and additional styling products. Such a result will delight the owner of a curly hairstyle for about a month. After this time, in the absence of proper care, the appearance and health of the strands will deteriorate.
In some cases, after contact of curls with curling preparations, they change their original color - they become lighter by several tones. You should also be prepared for this.
Among the main negative aspects of the procedure, the following features should be highlighted:
- hair can begin to actively fall out, in the absence of proper care, this can cause the appearance of bald patches;
- hair shafts will become drier, as a result - brittle;
- strands may become dull;
- in particular, the tips suffer - they become split;
- sometimes dandruff appears after curling.
Most of the negative consequences can be avoided with timely and regular care, which can be provided by specialized store products, as well as formulations and masks that you can make yourself at home.
