For washing, opt for healing shampoos, supplementing them with moisturizing balms, oils and serums with nourishing ingredients.

Hair is dried immediately after washing without using a hairdryer or dryer; there is no need to rub it - just lightly blot it with a waffle towel.

You can comb the curls only after they dry. Also, you should not go to bed with wet strands - in this case, creases appear, which not only spoil the picture, but also contribute to brittleness of the hair.

How to style hair after perm?

Having done long-term salon styling, many women are at a loss as to how to properly style their curls after such a perm. It's simple, just know a few simple secrets.

First of all, remember that proper styling begins with proper washing. Use only specialized shampoos for chemically curled hair. After washing, be sure to apply caring balms, conditioners or masks to your head.

These products will help nourish and restore strands that are weakened and dry after chemical treatment.

Pay special attention to the ends of your hair, which usually suffer the most from the harmful effects of chemicals.

The easiest way to install at home:

1. wash your hair;
2. blot it with a towel;
3. if necessary, apply care or styling products;
4. Lightly squeeze the curls with your palms and leave to dry naturally.

Besides this simple method, there are several more complex styling methods. You can style your curls with a hairdryer and diffuser, roll them with curlers, create large curls using a round brush, or try out other styling options. Below we will look in more detail at the most popular of these technologies for creating a beautiful hairstyle.

Using a hair dryer

Ideally, after getting a perm, it is better to avoid using a hair dryer altogether. Frequent heat drying can disrupt the curl shape and make it less durable.

In addition, after drying with a hairdryer, curled hair can become very fluffy, and it will not be easy to collect it into a neat and beautiful hairstyle.

If you do use a hairdryer, do so as rarely as possible, and very wisely and carefully. First of all, you need to choose a suitable attachment for this type of hair.

A nozzle with a diffuser would be ideal.

When using it, the strands will not fluff very much, which means that the hairstyle will look much better.

If you do get a slight frizz effect when drying with a diffuser, you can easily eliminate it by smoothing your hair with a comb or adding a little styling to it.

You can watch the video on how to style using a diffuser:

Rolling on curlers

A perm can serve as an excellent basis for creating curls using curlers or other improvised devices.

By curling your hair with curlers, you can enhance the perm effect or get larger curls.

It all depends on what type and size of curlers you choose.

You can use curlers or bobbins of approximately the same size that the master used when creating your chemical product. Or you can choose larger diameter curlers to get the effect of lush curls.

Curling chemically-curled hair with curlers is no more difficult than straight strands.

• Just divide your cleanly washed hair into strands, dry them a little, apply styling and curl them with curlers.
• After this, you can additionally treat the curled hair with a special spray to fix the curls.
• Then leave the curlers on your head until your hair is completely dry.

Creating Beach Style Curls

A hairstyle in the style of wet hair looks very good on curly strands. This style is quite simple to do, and it can last all day.

1. To get that trendy wet hair effect, start by washing your hair.
2. Gently divide wet hair into sections using a wide-tooth comb.
3. Apply a small amount of hair gel (or another product specifically designed for wet hair styling) to each section.
4. Use your hands to squeeze your curls a little to give them the desired shape and to better distribute the gel.
5. After that, you just have to wait for your hair to dry naturally.

With this styling method, it is important not to overdo it with gel or other styling products. Excessive amount of gel on your hair can ruin your entire hairstyle.

Instead of the desired effect of wet strands, you risk getting unnaturally glued strands, or hair that will not look wet, but dirty and greasy.

If you are afraid of this effect, use the gel to a minimum, or replace it with a special moisturizing spray to give your hair a wet effect. It is better to use this spray on dry hair.

Dependence on hair length

The length of the strands and their structure affect how you get your preferred curls. It is believed that women with long hair get the most spectacular look from wet chemicals. However, on short or medium-length strands, this curl also looks impressive.

On long and medium hair, chemistry is performed using gentle mixtures. To achieve a high-quality result, you will need nourishing drugs.

Better fixation of curls is achieved by using varnish or foam.

On short hair, a wet perm looks perfect. This result is obtained if you adhere to:

• washing your hair with shampoo before the procedure, which removes sebum and makes the curls more elastic;
• twisting the strands, starting from the roots and ending with the ends, as a result of which the curls will become stronger;
• uniform placement of bobbins to obtain symmetrical styling;
• compliance with the maximum density of rows of curlers.

The elasticity of curls depends on the predisposition to chemicals of a particular woman, the type of curling mixture and the time it acts on the hair, as well as the air temperature in the room (preferably above 20 ° C).

How to choose?

A wide range of choice of procedures for perming hair constantly raises many questions among the female half of the population. The most important factor when choosing is the shape of the curls. But, besides this, there are a number of criteria that will help you choose the ideal curl shape and haircut for yourself.

Depending on the shape of the face, appropriate haircuts for permed hair are selected.

Round face shape. To avoid additional volume, you should avoid cutting your hair to ear level. Short haircut while maintaining volume in the occipital area and short temples. Among the haircuts, you can make one of the many options for a pixie haircut - smooth, with asymmetry, with a cut, pixie-bob and others. Bangs with asymmetry and torn ends look good.

Based on the type of curls, experts advise young girls to choose spiral curls. They are made using special curlers on which strands of hair twisted into flagella are wound.

For women who don’t like to bother with styling in the morning, curls made with bobbins will be the solution. The strands curl well along the length, creating the impression of “wet hair.” This option is universal, as it is suitable for both young girls and ladies of an elegant age. After all, in older women who are over 50 years old, their locks become thin and dull. And this method of curling will add volume to your curls, which will be especially noticeable on a bob or bob haircut.

Soft waves are obtained through a gentle perm procedure. However, such curls do not last too long. The effect of light curling of hair is well suited for a full face, but provided that the strands are of medium length.

Don't forget about your hair type. The gentle option simply won’t last on coarse strands, but it will add long-awaited volume and vitality to thin and sparse hair. Strong mixtures are not suitable for weakened curls.

It is necessary to take into account that when perming the length of the strands is shortened by several centimeters (5-10). Based on this, curl options are already selected.

Japanese wet chemistry

A more gentle option, ideal for medium hair, is light Japanese wet chemistry. It has the following characteristic features:

• Japanese perm will be a real godsend for women who have naturally brittle hair, but at the same time want to show off their curls. This is due to the special gentle technology of such chemistry;

• The curling process is carried out in this way: individual strands are threaded through a special cap and curled. At the same time, the hair that remains under the cap is not exposed to this effect;
• Japanese chemistry lasts less than vertical chemistry, but is undoubtedly more gentle on hair.

Natural and artificial curls

After perming your hair, the first thing experts recommend is to review your arsenal of hair cosmetics; the revision should affect not only your favorite shampoo, conditioner and a number of masks, but also styling products.

Perm, to one degree or another, makes hair drier and more porous; natural curls have the same property. From the above it is easy to conclude that you can safely use an arsenal of products labeled “for wavy and curly hair.”

To ensure that post-curly styling is easy, does not require a lot of time, and your hair looks attractive and alive, choose the right care products from the first moments of your “curly life.”

We recommend:

General recommendations

• Chemicals dry out your hair a lot. Therefore, you will now need to include special products in your daily care. Special restorative masks can be used no earlier than the 4th wash after curling. Almost every cosmetic company - from mass market to luxury brands - has a line of products for damaged hair. Therefore, what to choose from all the variety is up to you, depending on your personal preferences and budget.
• In addition, after curling, there is a high probability of getting an unpleasant “bonus” - dry split ends. Therefore, it is better to cut off the ends after it and include special oils or sprays for split ends in your daily care.
• If the procedure is done in the summer, then it is necessary to hide the curls from direct sunlight under wide-brimmed hats and use sprays with UV protection.
• You should not dye your hair after chemical treatment for 2 weeks, let it come to its senses, besides, during this time the dye will not adhere as well.
• After the procedure, it is recommended to wear your hair loose more often. Since ponytails, shells and other hairstyles with elastic bands and barrettes can weaken the curls.

Features of creating wet chemicals for medium hair

Before you decide to make a fashionable hairstyle, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with some rules and restrictions that must be taken into account when creating it. They are as follows:

• It is strictly contraindicated to curl strands if they are colored. This nuance applies only to recently dyed strands; if more than two weeks have passed from this moment, then you can already perm;
• It is worth taking into account the peculiarities of the hair structure. If a girl has very heavy, thick strands, they undoubtedly look great, but they are unlikely to be suitable for perm using wet chemicals. It simply won’t stick to them properly;

• In order for your hairstyle to remain attractive for as long as possible, it is necessary to periodically trim the ends of your hair.

Recipes

With honey

A mask with honey helps the hair to be nourished with beneficial substances, and the result of use will be a natural light shade.

Compound:

• 1 tbsp honey;
• 1 tsp castor oil;
• 1 tsp aloe juice.

Preparation and method of use:

1. Heat honey and add other ingredients.
2. Mix the resulting mixture well and apply to your curls.
3. First rub into the roots, then onto the remaining strands along the entire length.
4. Cover with a cap.
5. After 40 minutes, rinse the mixture thoroughly with water at room temperature.

To achieve the best effect, you should rinse your hair with nettle infusion. This procedure should be performed depending on the degree of damage to the strands. So for severely weakened hair it should be applied 2 times a week for several months. For preventive measures, once a week is sufficient.

With onions and garlic

If your bleached hair has experienced hair loss, you can use this mask. It will heal the scalp and allow the bulbs to strengthen.

Includes:

• 1 tbsp onion juice;
• 1 tbsp garlic juice;
• vegetable or burdock oil.

To avoid the smell of onions, you can add a few drops of lemon juice. Apply the mask only to the roots, using rubbing movements. You should not touch the length of the curls, because the onion can quickly be absorbed, and the hair will smell unpleasant for several days. The exposure time is 30 minutes, no more, then washed off with warm water.

Attention! It is very important to understand that the effect of an onion mask can only be achieved with regular use.

Restorative

Curls that are overdried by the lightening procedure need moisturizing. A mask containing eggs and castor oil is perfect for this.

Compound:

• egg yolk;
• 1 tbsp castor oil;
• essential oil can be added for a pleasant smell.

Application:

1. So you need to beat the yolks until foam forms, add oil and mix everything.
2. Apply the mixture onto dirty hair using massaging movements.
3. Cover with a cap and wait 25 minutes.
4. Rinse with water at room temperature and wash your hair with shampoo for damaged hair.

The mask must be used once a week. It will give your hair a healthy look and silkiness.

Kefir

Lifeless and dry hair requires moisture. One such remedy is a kefir-based mask. The recipe is quite simple, but it will take a lot of time to complete.

1. Kefir with high fat content is distributed over the length of the strands.
2. Then put on a cap and leave for about 3 hours.
3. After a while, wash off the mixture with chamomile decoction.

If desired, kefir can be mixed with existing hair balm. The mask will not only help maintain the moisture balance of the hair, but will also slightly lighten the strands.

Oily

Quite often they take burdock oil for it. However, there are options for use when burdock is used in combination with almond, olive or peach oil. Apply the oil mask to dirty hair. The amount of the required substance depends on the length and thickness of the hair.

1. The composition is applied to the strands, being sure to rub into the scalp.
2. Then put on a cap and cover with a towel. This creates a thermal effect and helps nutrients penetrate deeper into the hair.
3. You need to walk with this mask for about 2 hours.
4. Afterwards, you can rinse off with warm water and shampoo.

Reference! The procedure should not be performed often; about 2-3 times a month will be enough.

Can it be combined with tinted strands?

We have already talked about permanent dyes. Is it possible to apply chemicals to hair colored with light toning shampoos and conditioners? Everything is a little simpler here. Toning and long-term perm are quite compatible. However, we recommend that you start not with tinting, but with styling.

First, you should perm using your chosen method. And then, a week or two after that, do the tinting. The result in this case will certainly please you.

We are talking only about artificial tonics. Chemicals and dyeing with henna and other natural dyes are incompatible.

When curling strands tinted with henna, you risk getting a completely unpredictable color. Therefore, if your hair is dyed with henna, it must be washed off before perming.

To get rid of it faster, wash your hair more often and use oil-based masks. When washing, you can rinse your hair with a solution of vinegar or alcohol. Masks based on sour milk or sour cream will also speed up the process of “washing off”.

In conclusion, I would like to say that perm (as well as coloring) are stressful and not always safe procedures that are associated with mandatory exposure to harmful chemicals. The wisest thing would be not to combine them, but to give preference to one thing.

It is possible to combine them only if you go to a trusted salon with a good reputation and do not use traditional chemicals, but one of the gentle methods of long-term styling.
