Perm is one of the radical ways of changing your image. Today, there are more gentle ways to curl hair, for example, bio-curling, which we described in recent article. However, perm is still very popular among women. After all, having beautiful curls is the dream of almost every owner of straight hair. Perm is able to create curls even on the most naughty and thick hairs, giving them a grandiose volume. In this article, we will consider the main types of perm, talk about the procedure itself and about all its shortcomings and advantages.
Features of a procedure of a chemical wave
It is worthwhile to understand that perming is a very complex and not entirely harmless procedure for your hair. Before you decide on a perm, you first need to evaluate the structure and type of your hair.
IMPORTANT! In no case, perm can be done on very thin and weakened hair, unless of course you want to lose them too.
In addition, it is worth remembering about the scalp. If you have injuries and injuries, as well as any skin diseases or allergies, perming is contraindicated for you.
Before perm, do not forget to conduct a test on the sensitivity of the scalp to the components of the composition for curling hair. In addition, the same composition for curling must be checked on the hair itself (on a small lock). If, after some time has elapsed, the strand soaked in the solution easily burrows, the composition must be made weaker.
Types of perming hair
Perm perm implies a huge number of various varieties. However, only 7 species are most common.
- Neutral perm. The most common type of perm. Suitable for any type and structure of hair. Holds for about 3 to 6 months.
