What is it and what harm can it cause

Any perm, even mild ones with the prefix "bio," causes the hair’s structure to be disturbed. What can be said about classical chemistry is that modern drugs differ from their predecessors used several decades ago in that they have less aggressive effects on strands.

Various kinds of curlers can be used for the process. You can create zigzag curls, gorgeous voluminous curls, vertical spiral curls, or light waves with your hair with their assistance.

A reagent is the primary component of chemistry and is responsible for the transformation of straight strands into curly ones. A fixative is used to stabilize the outcome, allowing the hair to lighten by one to 1.5 shades. This side effect irritates some girls, particularly those who have recently dyed their curls.

However, this is not the most hazardous consequence of chemistry. Among the additional effects of chemical styling are:

• strands begin to fall out more intensively. It is possible that when ignoring the problem, bald patches may appear;
• curls become brittle, dry;
• cease to shine;
• The tips after chemistry constantly split;
• Dandruff may appear.

It is best to stick with the new hairstyle for the first three to four days following the procedure. If at all possible, leave your curls loose and avoid washing your hair.

Steer clear of styling products. Given that the curls are being fixed, this is significant. After getting a permanent hair color, shield your hair from the sun, unintentional rain, sea salt, and pool chlorination.

Take note! After perming, it’s best to cut the ends off right away and to apply special treatments to the curls’ edges on a regular basis to avoid split ends from damaged hair. It is advised that you educate yourself on the definition, application, and results of hair polishing.

How, when and what you can wash your hair with

The main advice given to girls who have had their hair permed is to avoid washing it too frequently. All chemical compositions cause hair to become dry. And if this is a benefit for people with oily hair, it is a big drawback for people with naturally dry hair. This does not imply that you can go two or three weeks without washing your hair, but you should still wash less frequently.

Investing in a specialized shampoo for repairing curly hair is preferable. It needs to be supple and packed full of nourishing organic ingredients like keratin, vitamins, amino acids, and essential oils. If the product is made especially for curly hair, that is ideal. A variety of hair detergents are available from different cosmetic companies following chemical styling.

5. Restorative shampoo for curly hair Curl Revitalizing Shampoo Maraes from the Italian brand Kaaral. Price — from 1300 rubles for 300 milliliters. Contains monoi, marula oils, and yogurt.

After getting a perm, give your scalp extra attention when washing. Apply a light pressure with your fingers. You can either do it very carefully so as not to cause premature straightening, or you can leave the curls alone.

One workaround would be to use this soapy water to rinse the curls instead of adding more detergent when cleaning the shampoo from the roots. Make or buy rinses on a regular basis.

How to dry

Curls will appreciate it if you refrain from using a hair dryer at least temporarily. For curls that have been chemically dried, hot air causes extra stress. Curls should air dry naturally.

Ammonia-dyed products must also be handled carefully. They are strictly applied to the head in accordance with the instructions and used no more than once every two months.

Note that perming freshly dyed strands is not advised. Take at least two to three weeks off between treatments, particularly if you had henna, basma, or clamps applied to your skin.
