Laying methods
One of the types of long-term hair fixation using mild chemicals is carving. Carving has its neat effect on the hair due to the enveloping structure of chemical compounds that do not penetrate deeply inside.
This type of curling can last from 1 to 6 months on the hair. After that, the curls gradually fall off or simply grow back. The next carving procedure can be repeated after 3-4 months.
Most of all, carving will complement the image of girls who have weak and thin curls. It will add splendor to your hair and add stiffness to your hair.
For women with thick hairstyles, on the contrary, carving does not always help to obtain the expected effect. This is because thick and dense hair very often falls off from its own weight.

Biological perm is another well-known hair styling technique. Its distinctive feature is the use of an improved formula of products containing artificial protein, as well as essential amino acids and herbal extracts. They do not dry the scalp, give the curls a natural shine and help restore the hair structure. Correctly performed biowave can save its results for up to six months.

Women with dry and coarse curls are not recommended to carry out carving due to the fact that this procedure will make them even drier.But hair prone to excessive grease is perfect for both biowaving and carving.
Carving and biowaving go well enough with short (length at least 7 cm) and medium curls. Hair of this length is often curled closer to the roots, that is, a local type of styling is used. Longer hair is rapidly losing its proper appearance due to its own mass, so long-haired women should give preference to biowave.

Variations in long-term styling of curls depend on the size of the bobbins and curlers used:
- large - large curls create root volume, large-sized curlers are used;
- average - airy curls create curlers of small diameter;
- small - a voluminous and airy hairstyle is obtained from the use of small bobbins;
- vertical - carried out along the entire length of the strands using vertical bobbins;
- local (root) - the chemical mixture is applied to the root area of the hair and individual strands;
- textured - curlers of different size and shape are used.

Contraindications
- Both hair curling processes are contraindicated for pregnant women, as well as for nursing mothers, since the chemical composition used is still not harmless.
- During prolonged depression, as well as critical days, the curls keep their shape worse, so curling your hair during these periods is undesirable.
- Do not curl them directly after dyeing your hair. In the presence of damaged curls, any type of curling is strictly prohibited.
- When undergoing a course of hormonal drugs and a predisposition to allergies, you should also refrain from perms.
Whatever the positive properties of long-term hair styling, it should be remembered that it is not recommended to do any of them more than twice a year.

Common and Differences
In general, both types of curls are similar to each other. Just like biowave, carving involves winding curls on various curlers and bobbins, applying not too aggressive active substances to future curls. The substances used have a mild effect on the curls and do not harm them.

Curling allows you to give your hair splendor and visually increase the volume of the hairstyle. After both curling options, the curls begin to straighten a little.
Regardless of the chosen method of curling, after the procedure, the curls need additional care. It is recommended to postpone hair coloring for 2-3 weeks, stop using curling iron, styler and hair dryer. Regular use of nourishing masks helps to maintain the natural and well-groomed look of curls.

There is still a difference between carving and biowaving. For example, the effect after biowaving lasts longer, practically about a year, and after carving - a maximum of six months. This also explains the higher cost of biowaving. Long-term styling carving is more aimed at creating volume, and biowave, in turn, allows you to find elastic curls. The chemical compositions used have slight differences, and the technology of their application is also different.
It is not difficult to create the effect of curly curls and make your dream come true. It is enough just to analyze all their pros and cons and make a choice in favor of one or another method of curling. Through carving or biowaving, every woman will complement her look with luxurious curly hair.
