Vertical perm

Lush and curly curls are every girl's dream. Curly hair looks stylish and effective in any situation, and also gives a woman lightness, airiness and romance. Unfortunately, nature has not rewarded all the fairer sex with this hair feature. Modern manufacturers of cosmetic products, together with stylists, have developed an artificial way to give hair a curly and voluminous structure - a vertical perm. The main feature of this procedure is the ability to carry it out not only in beauty salons, but also at home.

Giving confidence in your abilities, improving your mood, improving your personal life and making progress in your career will help not only beautiful outfits and correct makeup, but also a well-chosen hairstyle. Curly strands obtained with the help of vertical curling have been a safe option for many years.

The technology for creating this hairstyle consists in the effect of chemicals on the surface of the cuticle and the disclosure of scales on the surface of the curls. This manipulation makes it possible to give the hair the desired shape. To close the scales and preserve the curls for 6 months, fixing agents must be applied.

For the correct selection of a chemical agent, it is necessary to take into account the type of hair, its condition and structure. The least harm to curls is caused by biological products based on natural ingredients.

To preserve curls for more than 6 months, experts recommend curling uncolored hair that has not been straightened for a long period.

The duration of this procedure depends on the length and thickness of the hair and may exceed 4 hours.

The cost of the procedure depends on the following factors:

• size, structure and condition of curls;

• the popularity of the beauty salon.

Before visiting a salon, you need to know which curls are suitable for a person:

• oval and round - dense curls;

Distinctive features are lightness, airiness and a short period of operation.

This chemical procedure requires a mandatory analysis of the condition of the hair and scalp. Experts identify the following main stages:

• assessment of elasticity, strength, density and type of strands;
• checking the skin for wounds, injuries and various diseases;

The most popular are curlers in the form of a cone.

The choice of this product is influenced by the structure of the hair:

Before the procedure, it is imperative to conduct an allergic reaction test, for which you need to apply a small amount of the composition on the wrist and stand for 10 minutes. After this amount of time, wash off the drug and make sure there are no redness and spots.

Before winding the strands, it is necessary to carefully study the scheme of fastening the bobbins, on the observance of which the quality of the hairstyle and the neatness of the curls depend.

For medium and long hair, the curling technique has common features, and for short curls there is a special scheme for fixing the curlers.

Method for winding bobbins on long hair:

• the area of ​​the square should correspond to the diameter of one bobbin;
• twisting the curlers without tensioning the hair strictly in one direction;

Before winding hair of any length with curlers, you need to fix the curl in a special hole at the base. You can simplify the procedure with the help of a special pulling device. Ignoring this step will lead to deformation of the structure.

Fixing curlers on short hair has a number of features and is carried out around the head. You need to start work from the top of the head and go down to the back of the head and temples, capturing the area of ​​the crown.

Particular attention should be paid to vertical perm on long hair with bangs. This procedure has a number of features that must be taken into account when performing the procedure:

• fixing the curlers from the face;
• winding the bangs is permissible only if its length reaches the middle of the bridge of the nose.

A prerequisite is that you can change the length of the hair and the type of haircut only before the perm.
