Peculiarities
"Angelic Curls" are named so for a reason. Everyone knows pictures of these beautiful creatures with adorable curls. Some stylists claim that this hairstyle belongs to the retro style. However, many are convinced that Curly strands can easily fit into any modern look. Such a perm refreshes, makes the image playful and coquettish.

Home curling is short-lived. Classical "chemistry" gives a stable long-term effect, but it is very harmful to the hair. Therefore, experts have created an innovative technology.
Long-term curling is a professional procedure performed in a salon. It was first tested in the USA. This is a gentler and safer method for changing the shape of the strands. The result is neat, Hollywood-style curls. The hairstyle acquires softness and romance, and the hair structure is not subject to destruction.
Advantages and disadvantages
Let's consider the advantages of the salon procedure "angel curls".
- The means used compare favorably with the preparations for traditional "chemistry". They do not contain ammonia and other components dangerous for the hair structure. Moreover, they include lecithin, useful amino acids, various vitamins. Due to this, these products even have a positive effect on the strands, giving them silkiness and shine.
- The variability of the result is another plus. A fashionista herself can decide which curls of what diameter suits her. The technology allows you to create both small mischievous curls and voluminous elastic curls.
- The relative harmlessness of the funds makes this method available even for owners of colored and weak strands.
- The composition used by the master during the procedure does not have a pronounced unpleasant odor, which increases the client's comfort.
All the benefits make this innovative perm very popular. However, before heading to the salon, it is worth learning about all the nuances of the procedure, including some negative points.
- Not too long lasting effect. Curls created in this way last for a maximum of 3 months. However, this moment cannot be attributed to serious disadvantages, because after this time you will be able to reapply to the salon.
And if you are already tired of the "angelic" image, the quick loss of styling will even seem a plus to you, because girls are prone to change.
- This styling is not suitable for all hair lengths.... It will be an ideal solution for owners of medium-length strands (about up to the shoulder blades). Long-haired beauties may find the result not so spectacular and expressive. Curling on short hair can be unsuccessful. Firstly, it should be borne in mind that, due to curling, the hair rises, which makes the hairstyle visually shorter. Secondly, the splendor of the hair increases, which may not be to everyone's liking. If you have a stepped haircut, as a result of which the hair length has become different, then the result of the curling may be unpredictable. You can get the effect of an unkempt head with strands sticking out in all directions.
To find out if it is worth doing long-term curling in the salon, you should try curling your hair at home with regular curlers. This will give you an idea of the possible outcome.
- The high cost of the procedure seems to be a disadvantage to many. However, the advantages justify the price, so the popularity of the method does not diminish.
Salon technology
Long-term styling has little difference from conventional "chemistry". The only difference is in the composition of the drugs used. The technology is similar.
- First of all, the master rinses the client's hair, removing dirt, conditioner residues, and styling products.
- Then the strands are alternately processed with a special solution and screwed onto curlers. The size of the latter is previously discussed with the client.
- When all the hair is curled, a special cap is put on the head. The client should be patient and wait about 20 minutes for the composition to take effect. There are no unpleasant sensations in this case.
- After the specified time has elapsed, the cap is removed. The master thoroughly rinses off the active composition from the hair. Then a neutralizer is applied to the strands. This takes place in 2 stages. First, the drug is distributed through the hair, still wound on curlers, and then it is applied to the loose curls. After that, the neutralizer is washed off.
- The strands are impregnated with a third remedy. It is a protein-based caring formula that strengthens hair and makes it look more attractive. This product is also washed off after 15 minutes.
- The procedure ends with drying and styling.
As it is clear from the above, biowaving is a difficult process that requires special skills. It is not recommended to do it yourself.
Care after the procedure
If you want to maintain the obtained result for a long time, after biowaving, you should properly care for your hair.Following the recommendations of experts will also help to maintain the health and shine of your hair. The first days after the procedure are especially important.
Do not wash your hair for 2-3 days after visiting the salon. It is also forbidden to do hairstyles using hairpins, hairpins, elastic bands and other accessories. It is recommended to leave the strands loose, excluding unnecessary exposure to them. It is not recommended to use hair dyes for the first two weeks. This is due to the fact that the preparations used for curling may still act on the structure of the curls.
Further do not use shampoos and conditioners that contain silicone. It is better to consult with the master performing the procedure. He will recommend the right shampoo and curl care products for this situation.
Usually, hairdressers insist on using professional products that are sold in specialized stores.
The choice of a comb is also important. Large massage brushes should be put aside for a while. After biowaving, you can only use the sparse-toothed comb. It is desirable that the accessory is made of wood. It is not recommended to use a hairdryer for styling.
It is best to dry your hair naturally. Otherwise, daily care will remain the same. You don't need to do anything special.
How to curl your hair at home?
At home, it is permissible to perform only a regular perm, without the use of special tools. Such styling will not last long on the hair, but it will be an excellent solution for those who doubt the need for a salon procedure or like a frequent change of images. To create an "angelic" hairstyle, you need to wash your hair, comb and treat the strands with styling mousse. Then they need to be screwed onto ordinary medium-diameter curlers.
Angel Curls cover the entire hair length. This creates the required volume. Therefore, when curling, you should move from the ends of the hair to the roots, including the root zone. After a while, you should remove the curlers and sprinkle the hair with a small amount of varnish. You can use heat rollers or curling iron. In this case it is important to treat the strands with a thermal protective agent before styling. In the case of tongs, the hair must be dry.
In conclusion, it should be said that the "angel curls" hairstyle does not go out of style. The salon procedure with this original name is today one of the most gentle methods of long-term curling. It is she who allows you to get a luxurious hairstyle without harm to your hair.
