Perm is an effective method of creating curly hair. This procedure, despite its popularity, is very stressful for the hair. The use of special products provokes their thinning and fragility. Curls after chemical treatments need special care to restore their health and shine. To quickly restore curls, you need to follow certain rules regarding washing and combing your hair. Proven masks that provide intense nutrition will help speed up the regeneration of curls and avoid hair loss. Special hair care after perm can be done at home.

General rules

Preparations used for perming greatly dry out the strands, so for daily hair care you need to choose products designed for split ends and damaged hair.

List of the most effective:

• Frozen Limonnic Nanai (Natura Siberica).
• Vitamin Pro (Belita-Vitex).
• "Coconut" by Desert Essense.

After the procedure, you can wash your curls no earlier than on the fourth day.

A few days after curling, you need to trim the ends, since the procedure dries them out greatly. To care for them, it is recommended to purchase high-quality oils:

• olive;
• peach pits;
• coconut

After each wash, a small amount of oil is evenly applied to the ends and rubbed.

To comb, you need to purchase a comb with rare teeth. It is preferable to choose a wooden one, since it does not electrify the hair and does not damage the strands. Hair can only be combed after it is completely dry. After chemical styling, it is not recommended to use a hair dryer, as the strands will become even thinner.

At home, to maintain the beauty and health of hair, nutritional formulations containing natural ingredients are used.

Not all girls have obedient curls that can easily be curled with curlers and stop there. For ladies with straight hair that is difficult to style, a perm has been developed. It allows you to preserve your curls until they grow back. However, this option is only possible with proper care, which we will talk about today.

Basic rules of care

1. After a perm, even the healthiest hair will begin to split. For these purposes, purchase a serum or spray against split ends, spray it several times daily. Give preference to the professional series.
2. In the summer, hide your hair under a cap or buy a hat with a wide brim. During this period, you also need to use products with a high UV filter to avoid dry hair. When visiting a solarium, wear a special cap.
3. Coloring pigments (permanent, semi-permanent, tonic, henna, basma) can be used only after a month after the procedure. Otherwise, the hair will not have time to recover, which will lead it to a deplorable state. In addition, the paint will adhere less well due to the chemicals contained in the rod, since the stratum corneum has not yet formed.
4. Wear your hair loose more often; a ponytail, braid, bun and other collected hairstyles weaken the curls and make them uneven. It is not recommended to comb the hair; such a procedure will disrupt the styling.
5. It is forbidden to wash your hair for the first three days. This time is allocated to fix the new shape of the curls, the top layer of the hair is strengthened, which does not allow chemicals to be washed out of the core. Yes, the smell of ammonia is unbearable, and the curls look unnatural, but you need to be patient.
6. 5 hours after visiting the salon, make a solution that you can rinse your hair with to begin the formation of the stratum corneum. Dilute 60 ml. vinegar in 1.5 liters of warm water, rinse the strands, but do not apply shampoo.
7. It is not recommended to use a hair dryer or curlers in the first week. The curls have not yet fully formed; with such actions you will disrupt their structure. As for curling irons and flat irons, they are prohibited forever.
8. Go to bed only with dry hair. Do not touch wet curls, do not even comb them with a flat comb. Gently absorb moisture with a warm terry towel and wait until completely dry.
9. Do not comb your hair for 24 hours; after this time, use only a comb with wide and sparse teeth. Avoid brushing and massage combs. While combing, squeeze the curls with your hands to collect the curls in their original shape.
10. Visit your hairdresser once every 1.5 months to have your split ends cut off. Permed hair begins to split 60% faster. Look at the condition of your hair, and if necessary, contact a hairdresser earlier.
11. If you often visit a sauna or bathhouse, wear hats designed for these purposes. Every time, rinse your hair with clean running water after swimming in the sea, river, or pool.
12. Buy shampoos, conditioners, serums and sprays for permed hair. They maintain the shape of the curls and do not allow the curls to fall apart. After washing your hair, dry your hair with a hairdryer with a diffuser, while setting the temperature to minimum or using the cold mode.
13. Avoid metal clips, which can severely damage your hair. Give preference to soft plastic crabs or magnetic clips. Also, iron accessories have very sharp edges where the plates meet, which is doubly bad.
14. Curly locks don't get dirty that quickly, even for those with oily hair, so avoid washing them every day. The optimal frequency of the procedure is once every 3 days.
15. If you have the opportunity, wash and dry your hair in a salon. Hairdressing salons are equipped with a special infrared lamp that retains its shape and does not separate the curls into separate small strands.

Folk remedies are in no way inferior to professional cosmetics. Preparing decoctions will not cost you a pretty penny, and the ingredients can be purchased at any pharmacy or supermarket.

Video: hair care after perm

Everyone knows the fact: after the permanent curling procedure, curls become dry and dull. But often worse consequences appear - dandruff, split ends and hair loss, and sometimes even skin burns. In this article, we will talk about common side effects of permanent curls and methods for treating curls.

Consequences of an unsuccessful permanent wave

The main risks that the client is warned about are permanent rejection (when the strands cannot be curled) or hair damage.

Why doesn't the curl last?

The reason for the unsuccessful result can be both individual factors and the incompetence of the hairdresser:

• The client and the specialist ignored the contraindications. For example, the procedure was performed during the menstrual period or a course of treatment with hormonal drugs.
• Shortly before the procedure, henna or basma was dyed or used. Natural dyes do not allow the permanent to penetrate into the hair shaft, and as a result, the curls are formed unevenly or quickly straighten.
• The client used for a long time, which contains silicone. This ingredient forms an impenetrable protective layer through which the curling agent cannot penetrate the hair structure.
• The air temperature in the cabin was not high enough. The optimal level is 22-24˚C.

The client did not properly care for her hair after the procedure - she washed her hair immediately after curling and used a fine-tooth comb.

What unfortunate consequences can await hair after perm?

• The most common phenomenon is "tow effect". Hair damaged by chemical compounds becomes dry and dull, difficult to comb and breaks. The reason for this is the choice of a low-quality curling product or exceeding its exposure time.
• Many women complain about strong hair loss after the procedure. The reason for this is the use of a low-quality permanent or an allergic reaction to the drug.
• Exceeding the holding time of the composition is fraught with scalp burns. Clients with dermatological diseases and a tendency to allergic reactions are especially vulnerable in this aspect.
• Aggressive exposure to a chemical can cause dandruff. The development of seborrhea is provoked by dry scalp and an allergy to the curling composition.

How to cure hair after the procedure

Hair will help straighten curls after chemical treatment. It involves applying the nutrient for about an hour and a half. When heat treated, it forms a protective layer. At the final stage, the dried strands are smoothed with a hairdressing iron, as a result of which they become silky smooth, manageable and shiny. The disadvantage of the procedure is the high price of the service and short-term effect.

To straighten failed curls for a long time, you can use hair. Such procedures are carried out in salons and provide results for 2-10 months. With their help, you not only change your hairstyle, but also solve the problem of split ends.

Home treatments

• If you haven't damaged your hair, but want to eliminate dryness and brittleness at the ends of your strands, try mask with colorless henna.
  Pour boiling water over the powder and leave it to steep for 15 minutes. Add some nourishing oil (coconut, argan, castor, jojoba) and stir. Add 2-3 teaspoons of vitamins A and E to the cooled pulp (they are sold in glass ampoules).
  This mask is applied to the ends of the hair and left for 2 hours. Frequency of use: 1 time per week.
• The easiest way to revive your hair after curling is olive oil masks. The following recipe will help you quickly grow your hair after curling.
  Take 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of red pepper tincture, heat the mixture in a water bath. Apply the mask to your hair and leave for 30-40 minutes, putting a bathing cap on your head and a towel over it. Perform the procedure once a week.
• Emergency restoration of damaged hair will provide mayonnaise mask. Soak your hair with 1-2 tablespoons of this sauce, put on a cap and wrap your head with a towel. After 20-25 minutes, the mask can be washed off.
  The frequency of the procedure is 2-3 times a week.
• Honey-cognac mask stimulates hair growth and also restores it after coloring. Mix 1 teaspoon each of honey, cognac and burdock oil, add 1 yolk to the mixture. Stir and apply the mixture to your hair for 3 hours. It is recommended to carry out the procedure 1-2 times a week.
• It is recommended to supplement home hair treatment yeast mask. This product can also be used dry.
  Mix 10 g of yeast with 2 tablespoons of warmed kefir to make a creamy mixture, add 1 teaspoon of warmed honey and stir. (To restore long hair, the proportions should be approximately doubled). Wash off the mask after 1 hour.
  It is enough to carry out the procedure once a week.

Rules for caring for damaged hair

• Minimize hair dryer use. It is better to let your hair dry naturally. If you cannot do without a hair dryer, set the drying temperature to the minimum.
• Use heat protectants and sprays with highSPF-factor. Also avoid exposing your hair to sunlight and chlorinated pool water.
• Forget about coloring and styling for 3 weeks(foam, varnish). Avoid creating hairstyles with bobby pins and elastic bands, and do not pull your hair into a tight ponytail or bun.
• Comb with a wide-toothed wooden comb.
• Trim your hair regularly: More often than not, damaged strands cannot be restored, and only hair loss can save the situation.

Arguments for and against perm

This procedure is still considered harmful to hair, because the permanent more or less spoils its structure. Recently, the product has included proteins, amino acids and vitamins that soften the chemical effects. The final answer to the question of whether to get a perm depends on the initial condition of your hair.

Advantages of the procedure:

• perm provides beautiful and long-lasting styling;
• hair becomes fuller and less likely to become greasy;
• curls retain their shape for 2-6 months.

Disadvantages of the procedure:

• due to the unprofessionalism of the hairdresser or ignoring contraindications, curls may not form at all;
• the condition worsens and hair growth slows down.

Nourishing masks and especially careful care of your curls will help to reduce the aggressive influence of the permanent.

If the condition of the hair has not deteriorated, is it possible to perm again?

This procedure should be carried out no more than once every six months. Don’t get carried away with “chemistry”: after it, the hair is restored and grows for quite a long time.

Should I do a biowave: advantages and disadvantages of the procedure

With a high-quality composition, the risk of spoiling curls is significantly reduced. Among the reviews about the procedure, stories about how the master burned the client’s hair or the bioperm “didn’t work” are much less common. The advantages of the biopermanent are its gentle composition and a special caring formula based on cysteamine, vitamins and a keratin complex.

Is the procedure harmful for pregnant and lactating women?

Biowave is prohibited during pregnancy and lactation, as well as while taking hormonal medications. Therefore, you should not consider it 100% safe.

Arguments for":

• a beautiful hairstyle of curls is formed;
• hair volume increases;
• there is no need to wash your hair frequently;
• The perm lasts for 3-6 months, provided that the procedure is done by.

Arguments against":

• the soft composition does not form such elastic curls as with perm;
• hair becomes dry and brittle;
• clients are concerned about the strong unpleasant odor that permeates their hair (this happens when using low-quality ingredients).

Hair perm, despite the emergence of a mass of modern techniques for creating curly curls, remains a fairly popular hairdressing service. The fundamental point that will affect its result will be subsequent care. Therefore, before choosing this option for transforming curls, you should familiarize yourself with the features of independent procedures that hair will require after chemicals.

The effect of perm on hair

In beauty salons around the world, perms are still performed on women's hair of different lengths and colors, since this procedure makes it possible to transform the hair and give every client a full and curly hairstyle for a long time. Today, craftsmen can perform types of chemistry that will vary in the type of composition used to process the curls, as well as the size of the bobbins, thanks to which the strands can be curled. However, when choosing this transformation option, you should be prepared for the fact that the hair shafts after perm will need restoration and special care.

Chemistry can make even thin and dull hair look lush and beautiful, but the negative effects of drugs if not properly cared for can lead to quite negative consequences.

In order to avoid this, before chemistry you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules regarding care, as well as the essence and effect of the perm procedure on the hair shafts.

Chemistry has positive and negative sides. As for the advantages, with minimal effort it is possible to transform your hair, getting curls that will not cause any special difficulties in the future during the styling process. Regarding the negative consequences after chemical treatment, it should be noted that the curls after exposure to chemical reagents will be damaged along almost the entire length, so the hair shafts will need proper restoration.

All types of perm, even those that are positioned as bioprocedures, will in any case negatively affect the structure of the strands.

The negative impact of the used curling compounds is due, first of all, to a change in the shape of the hair shaft. In their normal state they have a round shape, but as for the curled hair, it already becomes oval. For rods twisted for a long period, the connections inside are thus broken, as a result, the keratin scales on the surface open, which makes it possible to give the strands the chosen shape. But the process of influencing hair during chemistry does not end there, because the resulting curls need to be fixed for a long time. Typically, the hairdresser will use a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide for these purposes. Products from this category help to close the scales on the hairs again, which ensures that the selected curl option is maintained.

Another negative aspect of chemistry is the depletion of hairs through the loss of the soluble part of the shaft, which leads to the fact that after curling they become lighter than in their natural form.

As for the devices used, for ordinary chemicals the salon technician can take a variety of curlers, thanks to which light waves or voluminous curls are formed, as well as unusual vertical spirals and zigzag curls.

As a rule, the first results after a perm please their owners. The hair becomes soft and silky, and the high level of humidity does not spoil the styling, but, on the contrary, makes it even more attractive. Styling does not require much time or additional styling products. This result will please the owner of curly hair for about a month. After this time, in the absence of proper care, the appearance and health of the strands will deteriorate.

In some cases, after the curls come into contact with curling preparations, they change their original color - they become several tones lighter. You should also be prepared for this.

Among the main negative aspects of the procedure, the following features should be highlighted:

• hair may begin to actively fall out; if not properly cared for, this can cause bald patches to appear;
• hair shafts will become drier and, as a result, brittle;
• strands may become dull;
• the ends suffer in particular - they become split;
• Sometimes dandruff appears after curling.

Most negative consequences can be avoided with timely and regular care, which can be provided by specialized store products, as well as formulations and masks that you can make yourself at home.

Choosing cosmetics

Hair care is integrally associated with washing curls, so the first priority of a woman who has undergone this procedure is the competent selection of shampoo. Regardless of the length of the curled curls, be it medium length, short haircuts or long hair, after chemical treatment they will need soft care products, which today are offered to consumers by many brands specializing in the production of cosmetics and hair care products.

A special feature of such products is the possibility of gentle contact with damaged and dry hair, during which the components included in the composition will strengthen and heal the hair shafts. The priority for post-curl shampoos will be products that are made using natural ingredients.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the list of organic substances included in the restorative shampoo before purchasing. It is best that it contains keratin, which has been partially washed out of the hair shaft during the chemical process, as well as a set of amino acids and vitamins important for the skin and curls.

In the list of modern specialized products, it is worth noting the following proven and effective compositions for washing hair after perm:

• "Black Snail"
• "Giargino di Roma";
• "Vitamin Pro";
• "Organics Hair Care Coconut" etc.

There are also sulfate-free products on sale that will help restore curls faster after the procedure:

• Curl Cleansing;
• Smooth and Curly.

It is not necessary to purchase an expensive care series; products from the budget line can also effectively cope with the task, the main thing is that they have the most natural composition.

After purchasing a suitable care series, you should also carefully wash your curly hair. Movements should be gentle, without pressing on the scalp. When washing, the emphasis should be on the skin, rubbing in the shampoo; contact with the hair should be minimal. To clean your curls from natural impurities, soap suds will be enough. You should wash your curls after a perm no more than twice a week.

How to care for hair using folk remedies?

In addition to specialized store-bought formulations, after curling your curls will benefit from care using home-made products. As practice shows, folk methods can restore damaged curls much faster, since their composition, unlike those sold in supermarkets, will be completely natural.

Oils can bring maximum benefit to strands. To do this, it is not necessary to buy expensive substances; care with castor or burdock oil will have an immediate positive effect.

Such a negative factor as hair loss can be eliminated after chemotherapy if you regularly use ordinary table salt for hair care. It should be rubbed into the skin before washing your hair, leaving it on the skin for a quarter of an hour. However, you should be careful with such a strengthening agent if there are scratches or abrasions on your head.

Among the most effective homemade masks, it’s worth taking a closer look at these.

Product based on honey and cognac

A restorative mask, for which you only need one teaspoon of ingredients, an yolk and any oil. The natural composition should be kept on the hair under film for at least three hours, then washed off with shampoo.

Bread mask for hair after chemo

The main components of a home remedy for nutrition and strengthening are rye bread and a decoction based on chamomile or linden. You can also add any vitamin or group of vitamins to the mask after filtering.

Yeast mask

It is prepared from a few tablespoons of castor oil (usually two are enough), egg yolk and one packet of dry yeast. The components must be heated in a water bath, and then rubbed into the roots of the hair shafts.

In addition to masks, decoctions for rinsing hair are also used for curls after chemotherapy. A decoction of burdock root can have a positive effect on hair, allowing the hair shafts to restore their structure. After perming, it can be used every time after washing your hair, rinsing after shampoo.

Also useful for damaged and overdried hair are decoctions based on hops and tartar, or even a weak vinegar solution.

Regular use of folk remedies will make it possible to make curls soft, and therefore more manageable, which will have a positive effect on styling. Vinegar will help a woman have shiny, curly hair. You can quickly restore your curls after exposure to chemicals using water mixed with lemon juice.

6. A real master will provide you with instructions for caring for your new curls and teach you how to style them correctly.

Now let's talk about the rules of hair care after perm

You can wash your hair after perming no earlier than 3 days later and only with warm water and a special shampoo. It should be applied only to the roots of the hair and scalp; the rest of the hair can be perfectly cleaned with soapy water flowing down while rinsing off the shampoo. This will protect the ends of your hair from unnecessary drying. After washing, the hair should not be wrung out or twisted.

You can dry your hair after perm using a hair dryer and hot rollers, but not earlier than on the fourth day. Only tight, small curls are allowed to be dried with a hairdryer. , but exclusively warm or cold air. Curls will always need to be curled with hot rollers., if you want them to continue to maintain their ideal shape.

It is best to wash your hair at the hairdresser and dry it under an infrared lamp, fortunately you will not have to do this as often as before, because hair after a perm does not become greasy so quickly.

It is necessary to style your hair with a perm after each wash and while drying - the advantage is that you will spend less time on styling, and it will be stronger and more stable. When styling, use a special nourishing foam balm and no varnish.

You should not comb your hair at all during the first 24 hours. and then only with a wide-toothed comb so as not to separate the curls . And no backcombing, otherwise, your perfectly structured curls will become tangled in a washcloth, and it will be impossible to return them to their original shape.

As a rule, hair that has become dull after a perm can be dyed no earlier than three weeks later. And use exclusively plant-based tint products. Now that your hair is weakened, you should avoid additional exposure to chemicals. Plant dyes treat hair, restore its stratum corneum, covering it with a protective film. This makes the hair shiny, and its color more intense and rich.

In addition to all of the above, it is necessary to protect your hair from the sun either with hats or using special products with ultraviolet protection. Also limit hair contact with salty, cold and chlorinated water. After swimming, sea salt and bleach should be thoroughly rinsed off immediately.

And after a perm, it’s not a bad idea to thank your hair “for your patience and understanding” by giving it a course of restoration and healing. These can be traditional medicine - homemade masks from natural ingredients, herbal decoctions for rinsing hair after washing.
