• gel-like.

How to do a wet perm at home?

Your hair will seem as though it has just been caught in the rain or taken a shower thanks to the "wet" perm. Special chemical compositions labeled "for wet perm" or styling products can help you attain this look.

Given how simple it is to apply and remove the styling gel, the second option is better. You’ll be able to play around with photos far more frequently as a result. To carry out this:

1. Buy wax or styling gel with a "wet hair" effect choose products with a medium or high degree of fixation.
2. Wash your hair and dry your curls with a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment.
3. Apply a small amount of styling product to your palms and distribute it through your hair, gently squeezing it from the bottom up.

Please note! The wet perm effect can also be achieved on naturally curly hair.

How to make large curls?

Big curlers are useful for creating large curls. Remember that under the weight of its own gravity, a curl will straighten more quickly the larger it is. Select curlers that have a diameter of at least three centimeters if you want to create Hollywood-style curls. You can mix and match curlers of various sizes and diameters to create a soft, carefree romantic hairstyle.

You will need the following supplies and equipment to perform a perm at home on your own: perm rods, perm solution, neutralizer, protective gloves, comb, and some clips. To prevent damaging your hair, it’s crucial to carefully follow the directions and make sure you’re working in a well-ventilated area. Your hair can look salon-quality at home if you put in the necessary time and preparation.

Stages of performing a curl with "Curl"

Since "Curl" is the most widely used composition for independent permanent styling, it will be used as an example to discuss the step-by-step algorithm for curling hair at home:

1. Take a test for an allergic reaction. To do this, apply a few drops of the chemical composition to your palm or behind your ear. If redness begins or you feel itching, you will have to change the product to a similar one with a less aggressive composition.
2. Wash your hair with shampoo – make sure that there is no trace of sebum, dandruff and styling products left on your hair.
3. Prepare the necessary tools – pour the solution into a bowl, put brushes, a sponge and hair clips nearby, put on rubber gloves.
4. Treat your hair with the solution. Separate a strand on the crown (its width should correspond to the width of the curlers) foam the reagent with a sponge and generously distribute it along the entire length of the future curl. Curl it on the curlers. Repeat with each subsequent strand. After all the hair is curled, go over your head with a damp sponge again to make sure that all the curls are evenly processed.
5. Put on a plastic cap. The greenhouse effect will enhance the effect of the chemical composition.
6. Let the composition withstand for 15-30 minutes. Strictly follow the instructions and vary the exposure time depending on what result you want to get. Towards the end of the holding period, remove one curler and check the degree of curl intensity. If it does not repeat the shape of the curlers sufficiently, then leave the composition on the hair for another 5 minutes. If the resulting curl completely satisfies you, then remove all the remaining curlers and rinse your hair with running water, without disturbing the integrity of the resulting styling.
7. Apply the fixative. For convenience, pour the product into a bowl and lather it up with a wide sponge. Generously distribute over each curl and leave for 5-10 minutes to take effect. Rinse with warm running water.
8. Apply a leave-in hair conditioner. Sometimes it is included in the set of products. If there is none, use those intended for dry or curly hair.

Crucial! Try not to use a comb and decline to wash your hair with shampoo for three days after styling.

Carrying out neutralization

You are able to create your own neutralizing agent for "Lokon." You’ll need the following for this:

1. citric acid – ½ teaspoon;
2. hydroperite;
3. shampoo – ½ teaspoon;
4. water – half a glass.

Combine all the ingredients and use half of the mixture on the hair. Give it ten minutes to sit; this will give the chemicals enough time to affect the cuticle. After removing the curlers, apply the remaining neutralizer and let it sit for a further five to seven minutes. Use a wide comb to comb the hair after rinsing it under running water and allowing it to air dry.

Procedure for fixing

The hair needs to be fixed once the desired shape has been achieved. Although using a pre-made fixer is preferable, you can make one yourself using the following materials if you’d like:

• hydroperite – from 2 to 6 tablets depending on the length and thickness of the hair;
• shampoo – 15-30 ml;
• water – 20-60 ml.

After shielding the face with a bandage to protect it from chemical reagents, apply it to the hair using a sponge. After applying the product to the hair for five to ten minutes, rinse it out with warm water without using shampoo.

Basic rules for the procedure

How to properly curl strands on curlers?

To achieve the best results when curling hair with curlers or hair rollers, there are certain guidelines that must be followed:

• The strand should be twice as thin and a couple of centimeters narrower than her.
• When curling, pull the strand towards the cheekbones.
• Make sure that the strand fits the curler along the entire length equally tightly – this way you will get neat spirals.
• If you want to get a mane of small curls – take twice as many curlers and curl the thinnest strands on them. This will give a better effect than if you divide one wide curl into several small ones.
• If you want to get the effect of natural curls – use curlers of different sizes.
• If you want to get neat, uniform strands – make markings on your head. There are 4 types of markings for curling: brick, spiral brick, rectangular, oblong.

How to apply the composition?

Apply the chemical mixture to the hair using a tiny sponge or a hair dye brush. Applying too much product all at once will prevent you from controlling the level of impregnation of the hair shafts, so don’t skimp on the product either. It is best to do this in two or three stages, stopping when the moisture starts to flow down the skin and the strands simply stop absorbing it.

Crucial! To make the curling process more comfortable and skin-safe, apply a protective cream to the hairline and ears and secure with a bandage.

Once every hair has been processed, cover the entire thing with a towel and place a cellophane cap on top.

Curling without a curling iron or curlers

In case you don’t possess curlers or curlers nearby, you can utilize one of the following makeshift methods:

• Paper – roll small rolls from thick paper, secure the edges if necessary with scotch tape. Twist damp hair on improvised papillotes, tie the ends of the rolls together and leave until the hair is completely dry. This method is good because the paper quickly absorbs water and accelerates the drying of the hair.
• Pencils – With the help of pencils, you can get many small curls in the style of Afro. Put a pencil to the hair of the hair and evenly in a spiral, wind a strand. Fix the tip and root with an elastic band or clamp. Sprinkle the locks with water and leave until completely dry.
• Socks -10-15 long cotton socks will help you create soft curls overnight on your head, even without the use of water. Twist your toe in a tourniquet and wind it up on it, leaving a little free space above and below the knitted product. Tie both ends of the sock with each other, thereby fixing the toe on the head. After all the hair is curled – go to bed and the morning you will get magnificent styling!
• Cocktail tubes – Another way to get small curls. Twist a thin strand on a tube and fix it with two invisible hairpins – at the root and tip. Spray your hair thoroughly with water from a spray bottle and leave until completely dry.
• Rubber headband. Using a round headband for Greek styling, you can create soft curls at the very ends. To do this, put the headband on your head and make a Greek hairstyle, wrapping strands one by one around the headband. After a few hours, remove the elastic band and enjoy the result.
• Pigtails, braided overnight, this is a curling method well known from childhood. You need to braid clean and damp hair. The smaller the braids, the fluffier the result will be.
• High bun. This styling method is good for long and straight hair. By making a high bun at night, you protect your hair from chafing and injury, and get a beautiful styling with volume at the roots and curls at the ends. To do this, collect a high ponytail on the crown, fix it with an elastic band and twist the free length of hair into a tourniquet and wrap it around the base of the ponytail.

The most common mistakes to avoid

Frequently, disregard for the guidelines and negligence result in expectations from the permanent makeup being too high. The most typical errors in "chemistry" at home are as follows:

• Buying a low-quality or expired product – you can expect any effect from cheap, unknown and expired products. From no result at all to overdrying your hair. Before buying a product, always consult a specialist or read reviews from people who have already used it. Pay attention to the manufacturing date printed on the packaging.
• Incorrect winding on curlers or bobbins – careless, weak or, conversely, too tight winding can have a negative effect on your hair (kinks, stretching, split ends). Twist the hair quite tightly, but do not pull it at the root, and also make sure that there are no loops or sagging.
• Ignoring the instructions and recommendations. Changing the order of actions, the amount of chemical composition or the time of exposure can lead to a change in hair color, damage to its quality, split ends or even hair loss. Do not deviate from the manufacturer"s instructions and always perform an allergy test.

What results should you expect after the procedure?

Following a perm, your hair will turn into:

• voluminous;
• elastic;
• easy to style;
• more rigid.

Kindly take note! Dryer hair at the root results from a perm, which is a big benefit for oily hair and a drawback for dry hair.

How to care for a perm at home

Products

After a perm, cosmetics for hair care are designed to get rid of the side effects, like split ends, brittleness, and dryness. Take note of the ingredients; plant proteins, keratin, and panthenol are frequently found in these products. Request that the consultant select a product for you that takes into consideration the type of perm and the wear time.

If your city lacks professional makeup stores with specialized inventory, opt for products labeled "for dry," "for brittle," "for curly," "for damaged," etc. Conditioners and leave-in masks won’t be unnecessary.

Curly hair is too sensitive to moisture after permanent styling, so avoid over-hydrating it. The strands will stick together and become weighted if the scales absorb too much.

Shampoo for post-permanent hair

The same guidelines that apply to selecting care products also apply here: the shampoo needs to be labeled "for curly hair" or meant for use as post-perm care.

In order to preserve the curls’ shape and prevent premature deformation, when washing, focus more on the root zone and try not to touch them.

How to style your hair?

Highlighting the spiral structure of curly hair is the primary goal of styling it. The styling products listed below are appropriate for this task:

Use a hairdryer only on the cold air setting to blow dry your hair. If you’d like, you can add more volume to your hair by using a diffuser.

How to remove a perm?

There are a few options available to you if you need to remove a permanent hairstyle for any reason:

1. Go to a salon for a straightening service. The hairdresser will apply a chemical reagent to your hair that will make your hair straight. This procedure is fraught with damage and drying of the hair along the length, so you should resort to it only as a last resort.
2. Stretching your hair with a curling iron – the effect of the curling iron will last until the first hair wash, and after that, the strands may curl differently than before, becoming less neat.
3. Cut. The most radical and effective method of getting rid of annoying curls. You can get rid of the length by getting a fashionable short haircut or gradually trimming the ends.

Homemade masks

After a perm, the following recipes will assist you in getting your hair back to its natural state:

Olive

Utilizing a wide-toothed comb, comb through your hair after heating the olive oil to a comfortable temperature in a water bath or the microwave. Cover with a plastic cap and tie a towel turban. For optimal hair health, the longer the exposure period, the better. Try to keep the mask on all night. Cleanse using a gentle shampoo.

Aid! Castor, burdock, sea buckthorn, coconut, or grape seed oil can be used in place of olive oil.

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is a relatively fat product made with egg white, which is beneficial to hair structure, and mustard, which encourages the development of new hair shafts and hair follicles. Apply a small amount of product to your hair, pull it up into a bun, and give it an hour to work. Use a gentle shampoo and lots of warm water to rinse.

Burdock and beer

Combine the 60-degree-cooked dark beer with the burdock root infusion. After creating a liquid, soak your hair in it and let it sit for a few hours. Use running water to rinse.

Hairstyles for hair with a perm

Let’s examine a few permed hairstyle options.

For short hair

• Pin up and retro style. Curly short hair is good as a hairstyle in itself. You can make the look more interesting if you put a headband on your head, tie a scarf with a bow upwards or pin your bangs near your face with a spectacular hair clip.
• Wet hair – the classic "wet styling" is appropriate for any length. For short hair, you will need a little gel.

For medium hair

• Volume styling – immediately after washing, dry your hair with a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment and fix the result with foam.
• To the side – style your hair on one side, and secure the hair on the free temple with invisible pins or braiding.
• Bun – gather a bun at the back of your head with a donut and release a few curls to create the effect of a casual and romantic hairstyle.

For long hair

Your creativity is the only restriction on the variety of hairstyles you can create for long, curly hair. All of the popular hairstyles for curly hair can be modified to create amazing high ponytails, buns, braids, and "malvinki." The most important thing is to avoid using too many styling products and tightening your hair with elastic bands.

Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to do a perm on dyed hair?

The earliest that perming can be done is one to two weeks after dying. Because the hair shafts require time to return to their natural structure, it is highly undesirable to perform the procedures on the same day.

What distinguishes a chemical hair curl from a bio-curl?

[webnavoz link]Herbal preparations are used in the process of biocurling [/link_webnavoz]. They don’t harm the hair, but they also don’t cause a taut spiral in it. Such styling has a softer, less robust effect.

Why is a permanent ineffective?

This might be the result of a number of factors, including bad composition, overly stiff hair, or unique physical traits.

Citation! Avoid getting permanent hair on an empty stomach because there is a belief that people with low blood pressure and blood sugar may not benefit from permanent hair.

How much time is a permanent makeup?

A permanent makeup’s effects typically last three to five months. The roots can be adjusted as they spread.

How much time does a perm require both at home and in a salon?

Depending on the technique selected, the products used, and the length and thickness of the hair, a permanent perm in a salon can take anywhere from 1.5 to 5 hours. Please feel free to multiply the expected figure by two if you are curling the hair yourself.

When done correctly and with the right equipment, permanent makeup can be a fulfilling experience that can be achieved at home. It is crucial to prepare all necessary materials in advance to guarantee a seamless procedure.

Ensure that you purchase high-quality perm rods, solution, and gloves for protection. These products are necessary to protect your hair and achieve the desired curls. Remember to correctly section your hair and pay close attention to the directions on the product labels.

A home permanent makeup system needs time and attention, even though it can be economical and convenient. You’ll have a better chance of getting amazing results if you take your time and treat your hair gently.
