Hair bio-curling: features and technique

Beautiful curls are the ultimate dream for many. It is impossible for a modern woman to devote attention and time to such styling every day. There are several solutions to this problem, one of which is a biochemical wave.

The usual wave is well known in the world of female beauty. As a result of this procedure, stable curls are obtained, which do not bloom on their own for a long time. This procedure has a fatal effect on the hair, it turns out lifeless, dry and brittle. A completely different thing is biochemical perm. These two procedures are very similar to each other, but at the same time, the difference between them is enormous.

Biohairing involves the use of special compounds for treating hair previously wound on curlers. Such preparations are more than half (about 60%) composed of natural ingredients. This amount is enough to reduce the negative impact to a minimum, and the hair during the procedure could grow stronger and recover from the inside. It is this feature that biowaving differs from the usual chemical procedure.

Also, the significant difference is the cost. Biochemical perm is several times more expensive than the usual procedure. For this reason, many decide to perform biowaving at home or even abandon this venture, choosing a more affordable solution to the problem of sparse and even hair.

No matter how safe and gentle the biochemical wave may seem, it is characterized not only by pluses. Before a decision is made about such a change in their appearance, it is necessary to carefully study the disadvantages of this procedure. Let's start with the good points:

• gentle and delicate effects on the hair, which is the most important advantage;

• a large assortment of formulations and curlers that can be used for this procedure;

• many techniques used in the process of winding and styling;

• hairstyle always looks beautiful with minimal care;

• the compositions used during the procedure have a therapeutic effect on the hair, restoring them from the inside;

• additional hair nutrition is provided;

• gradual straightening of curls eliminates the need to cut hair as it regrowth or frequent correction is performed;

• lack of restrictions for hair that has been dyed or lightened;

• additional volume that lasts a long time.

You can not decide on the appropriateness of such a procedure without studying its negative characteristics:

• high cost, which often forces you to abandon the biochemical wave;

• the structure of the hair shaft rods changes even despite the use of gentle compounds, for example, the tips can be split;

• hair care using special products is required;

• styling should be carried out without fail, otherwise the hairstyle will not look spectacular and well-groomed;

• the smell on the hair persists for several weeks, especially manifesting itself in a humid environment.

Hair and scalp become drier, which is not a disadvantage for everyone. For example, in the case of hair prone to oiliness, this feature of the procedure will be regarded as an advantage.

Particular attention should be paid to contraindications. None of these points can be ignored:

• allergy to the components of biowave solutions;

• the passage of treatment, which is based on the use of hormonal drugs and antibiotics;

• henna dyed curls will not be able to twist, since the natural coloring composition clogs the hair structure, so there is simply no room for other components;

• curls for building are chemically treated and compacted, because the composition for biowaving can not qualitatively affect them;

• unhealthy scalp (wounds, inflammation, damage);

• hair in need of treatment may not withstand the curling process;

• a change in the hormonal background that can be caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, critical days;

• stress, depression, emotional upheaval;

• staining less than a week ago.

Only after a detailed study of all these points can we draw conclusions and make a decision. If it is against biowaving, then it is worth considering other procedures that give a similar result.

Biological wave exists in several varieties. The main division is based on compounds that are used to treat hair. The first group of varieties of the procedure involves the use of compounds with amino acids. The second group is characterized by the use of drugs that consist of oils, vitamins and minerals. The latter option is more popular and in demand. From the second group, the most common options stand out.

• Japanese or neutral biowave involves the use of special drugs. They contain betaine, which is responsible for hydration, and keratin, which provides hair strength. Also in the compositions there is collagen and tea tree extract. Japanese biochemical wave is more suitable for thick and long curls, on which the result lasts up to 5 months, which is an excellent indicator.

• Silk Wave - this is the innovative type of procedure. The hair is the most gentle effect. The preparations contain very small particles of natural silk. Such chemistry is indicated for brittle hair that has lost its shine and has been dyed repeatedly. This type of biowaving is not carried out on hair that has been dyed with natural dyes. After the procedure, the hair becomes silky, soft and vibrant. The result lasts no more than 3 months.

• Italian variety Biochemical perm involves treating hair with strong fixation preparations based on protein and vitamin shakes. Use on hair with various damages is possible. The result usually lasts up to six months.

• Vertical chemistry allows you to create small and medium-sized curls. To obtain this effect, whooping cough is used.

• Spiral variety The procedure is used to obtain elastic curls with clearly defined contours. This hairstyle is more suitable for girls with expressive facial contours.

• Basal biochemical wave can be used as an independent procedure or is carried out for correction. This procedure easily solves the problem with thin and sparse hair.

There are very few restrictions for biowaving. This procedure can be performed on various hair: long and short, thin and thick, thick and sparse. Moreover, in some cases, biohairing is even the recommended procedure.

• Long curled hair looks chic, and not just beautiful. Such a hairstyle will require serious expenses. It will be done for a long time, the main part of the time will be winding hair. Even large curls are made for a long time, not to mention small ones. Long hair is heavy, because curls will unwind faster under their own weight. For the same reason, the root volume disappears. Hair extensions are not suitable for biochemical perm.

• A medium length hairstyle is ideal for such a procedure. In this case, you can use a variety of techniques and curlers. A particularly effective result is obtained on previously dyed hair.

• Short hair also often frizz. The choice of curlers requires some caution. Performing such a procedure for the first time alone is not recommended, since without certain experience it will be difficult to predict the result. On a square and bob, small curls or large waves are often made. Naturalness can be given to the future hairstyle by combining different curlers.

To carry out biowaving, you need to prepare. First of all, you need to determine the type of curler, since the final result depends on them. The choice of curlers is huge, they differ in size, shape, method of winding and other factors. If the procedure is done for the first time and it is difficult to make a choice, the following tips will help you:

• “boomerang” curlers are used to create neat, uniform waves;

• whooping cough allows you to get small curls of a vertical shape;

They are similar in composition, the difference lies only in the complex of nutrient components. The choice of a Japanese drug should be based on the type and characteristics of the hair. A separate composition is issued for each option.

Biochemical perm can be performed at home, but in this case, a long-term result should not be counted on. Also, do not do biowave in the absence of a certain experience. Incorrect actions can cost you hair health, the restoration of which in the future may turn out to be an impossible task.

Many experts recommend trimming the cut ends before curling. If this is not done, then the hair can deteriorate along the entire length, the curls will turn out to be stiff, will look messy and messy. Trimming the ends or not is everyone's business, but it’s better not to ignore this recommendation of specialists.

A step-by-step instruction is as follows.

1. The composition for processing curls is tested on a small area of ​​the skin. After 15 minutes, the result is evaluated. If the skin has not changed its color, there are no unpleasant or painful sensations, then there is no allergy to the drug and you can use it to treat hair.

2. The head is washed with a special shampoo, which will cleanse the curls and open the cuticles.After such preparation, the result will be effective and lasting.

3. Hair should be slightly damp. They are thoroughly combed and divided into 6 parts.

4. Skin and clothing must be protected from contact with compounds. You can put on a dressing gown, the neck is covered with a towel, a tourniquet / bandage is tied along the hairline.

5. Each selected part of the hair is divided into strands, which are alternately wound on curlers. You need to move from the central part to the side zones, you can also start work from the back of the head and move to the crown. Tighten curls is not worth it. In the case of long hair, you can apply a small amount of the composition before winding, so as not to worry about the quality of impregnation of curls in the future.

6. An activator is applied with a sponge. Hair should be evenly saturated with this compound. A cap is put on top to enhance the effect. In this form, the head is left for the right time, which is indicated in the instructions for the drug.

7. Without unwinding curls, wash off the composition with warm water without using shampoo.

8. We take the second sponge and impregnate the curls with a neutralizer, using only one part. After 15 minutes, remove the curlers and soak the hair with the second part of the composition. After 5 minutes, the neutralizer can be washed off. We apply conditioner and dry the curls in a natural way or with a hairdryer with a diffuser.

The whole process can be done at home, even without assistance. It is important to choose high-quality drugs, strictly follow the instructions and do not overdo the composition. If the result does not suit you or you are simply tired of curls, then you can perform the straightening procedure using a special converter. Also, many salons offer keratin straightening.

The fee for caring for your hair is not a particularly lasting effect. In this regard, classical chemistry is clearly the leader. Nobody can say exactly how many curls will hold their new shape. Usually the result remains unchanged for up to two months. Further, the curls will gradually lose their shape, but still the hairstyle will remain attractive and spectacular.

On the hair, the effect of curled curls will be noticeable for about 6 months, maybe even 9. The duration of the effect preservation depends on the thinness of the hair, its length and degree of curl of the curls. Thin and sparse hair holds curls longer. Long hair straightens faster under its own weight. Small curls will unwind longer than large ones.

Of great importance is the further care of the hairstyle. Proper handling of curled hair will allow you to get a longer and more effective result. It’s easy to care for your hair after biochemical perm:

• after the procedure, the first 4 days you can not wash your hair, pull the hair into a bun and collect in a braid, otherwise you can inadvertently straighten your curls and break their structure;

• about the hair dryer, curlers, ironing and various means for fixing also have to forget for a while;

• washed hair should not be rubbed with a towel, a hairdryer is used for drying in the cold air supply mode, but infrequently, or a natural drying method is chosen;

• for combing, you need to use a rare comb with soft teeth;

• so that the curls do not become fluffy, you need to comb them only after complete drying;

• recommended sprays that prevent tangling and provide easy combing;

• in the process of laying, it is best to use foams with a light structure;

• every few months it is necessary to trim the damaged ends, half a centimeter will be enough;

• untwisted curls need to be restored, they need treatment and additional nutrition, therefore, appropriate salon procedures (keratinization, Brazilian recovery and elution) are recommended.

Hair after biochemical curling can begin to be styled after a few days. During this time, the curls will fix well in their position and will keep their shape for a long time. Curled curls do not need to be laid for a long time, spend a lot of effort and styling funds on this. This procedure is quick and easy.

The easiest styling option is to apply foam / mousse to wet hair, which then dries naturally. A hair dryer with a diffuser is used to add volume to the hairstyle.

Having studied a large number of reviews that relate to biowaving, a number of conclusions can be drawn. Most of the girls were satisfied with the result. The reviews mainly note the elasticity and natural appearance of curls, a healthy appearance of hair and a beautiful shine. Owners of such hairstyles are particularly pleased that they no longer need to spend time on long styling and the exhausting process of winding curls. At the same time, the hairstyle always looks fresh and well-groomed, as after a salon styling.

Of course, there are not such enthusiastic reviews. For the most part, they relate to the home procedure, which was performed for the first time, without at least minimal experience. Such reviews indicate the short duration of curl retention and the discrepancy of the result with expectations. Think carefully about the home biochemical curl, weigh all the nuances so that in the future you do not have to regret the wasted money, time and damaged hair.
