How to get rid of perming hair?

Perm is an old and proven way to create beautiful curls, however, situations often arise when you need to quickly get rid of curls. There are many ways to remove curls, and which one to use will depend on the degree of damage to the hair and on the reasons for which it was decided to straighten it.

There can be several reasons for removing a perm, and the most common of them is a failed perm, in which the curl turned out to be more intense than expected or, conversely, could not form completely. It often happens that on one part of the head, the curls turned out to be flawless, while on the other they did not curl at all. The second reason for straightening curls is a burn of hair, as a result of which they lost their life shine and became stiff like a wire.

The burnt strands begin to get tangled, break and comb poorly, which requires immediate treatment and straightening. At the same time, attention should be paid to a very important point: if not only hair was damaged by the reagents, but also its cuticle, which entailed severe hair loss, then in no case should hair be straightened. In such situations, it is necessary to seek professional help from a trichologist who will prescribe effective treatment and help stop hair loss.

Another reason for the removal of "chemistry" is the discrepancy with the expectations of the result, when a woman understands that the resulting hairstyle is not quite what she wanted to get. In such cases, it is recommended to let the hair recover after the aggressive effects of chemical components, and after 4 weeks begin to straighten.

The modern market offers a huge number of preparations for hair straightening, differing in their mechanism of action on curls, duration of effect and price. Below are the most popular products that have many positive reviews and are most often used both in hairdressing salons and at home.

They help not only to get rid of curls, but also restore the structure of the hair, returning it lost strength and shine. The advantages of using such drugs are ease of use, the ability to perform procedures at home, and a long-lasting effect, reaching 4-5 months. In addition, keratins provide hair with prolonged protection against ultraviolet radiation and protect them from drying out during thermal exposure. Among the shortcomings of keratin funds, weighting and rapid contamination of hair is noted, which often causes a general untidiness of the head. There is also a too high cost of some drugs, which can reach 12 thousand rubles.

However, these funds belong to the premium class, and at home can be replaced with budget samples. The main disadvantage of keratin funds is the presence of contraindications for their use. For example, many formulations cannot be used by pregnant women, nursing mothers, allergy sufferers, and people with cancer. This is due to the presence of formaldehyde, often part of their composition, and its negative effect on the body. In addition, many drugs have an unpleasant pungent odor, which may last some time on the hair.

Among keratin preparations, Brazilian Bombshell Gloss, a highly curly hair product, is one of the most effective today. From the first minutes, it restores the damaged structure of the hair, fills the pores formed as a result of exposure to aggressive chemicals, and makes the hair elastic and strong.

As a result, the curls are straightened, and their split ends are sealed and not fluffed. After using Bombshell Gloss, you do not need to apply an iron - the hair remains completely straight even after washing. This effect is due to the presence of protein, amino acids, cocoa butter and coconut, as well as keratin obtained from sheep’s wool.

Such funds are also often used after unsuccessful "chemistry". Their advantages include ease of use, high vitamin content, long straightening effect and powerful protective properties. Moreover, gels are well washed off and do not accumulate static electricity. So, to remove the composition, you only need to wash your hair with restoring shampoo and dry in natural conditions. Among the disadvantages of straightening gels are the tendency of hair to stick together and the weakening of their structure with prolonged use in combination with a hairdryer.

Natura Siberica gel, which contains a large amount of vitamins and silk proteins, as well as Altai sea buckthorn and amaranth oil, has a good straightening effect. The mixture is applied to moistened strands and slightly dried with a hairdryer. Hair remains straight for one day.

They help only with failed "chemistry", when the curl did not have time to form, and the hair became fluffy and naughty. With intense curls, such compounds are powerless.The benefits of shampoos include the presence of natural ingredients, natural oils and vitamins, protection against thermal effects and effective straightening of moderate waviness.

Among the minuses note the impossibility of use for very curly curls and an increase in the oily hair from frequent use. Good results of straightening hair are given by Global Keratin shampoo, which contains a protein complex, restores the structure of the hair and improves their appearance. After washing, the hair is straightened with an iron or hairdryer.

Straightening curls after perms is best done under the supervision of professional masters who have extensive experience working with curly and damaged hair, and are actively using the most modern means. Hair straightening in the salon is done in several ways, the most effective of which are discussed below.

• Chemical straightening is considered the most persistent and effective, however, it is very harmful to the hair. The procedure takes a lot of time and lasts from 3 to 5 hours. A protective cream is necessarily applied to the scalp, and guanidine hydroxide and ammonium thioglycolate are used as chemicals. After the hair softens, the “chemistry” is washed off, a thermoprotective solution is applied, and straightened with an iron. Then a substance is applied that stops the action of the rectifying mixture and the head is washed.

• Keratin straightening is the most expensive, but at the same time safe procedure for hair. The essence of the method is that a keratin preparation is applied to clean hair and straightened with an iron. However, with keratin funds, you need to be very careful and inform the master in advance of any allergic reactions. This will help to choose a more gentle means that do not have formaldehyde in its composition, and safely carry out the procedure. The effect of keratin straightening depends on the type of hair and averages about 3 months.

• Bio-straightening is the safest and most natural method and is carried out using cellulose or gelatin. The applied composition envelops each hair and contributes to its straightening and healing. For this, the composition is applied over the entire length of the hair, departing from the roots by 1.5-2 cm, put on a plastic hat and stand for 60 minutes. Then the head is rinsed with cool water and dried naturally. The effect of the drugs lasts for 2 months, and the key to success is the ban on shampooing for three days from the moment of straightening, and abstinence from the use of a hairdryer.

• Japanese straightening similar to the previous one, with the only difference being that the main active ingredient is not gelatin with cellulose, but cysteamine, which is a protein complex. The drug is also applied along the entire length of the curls and is kept for 6 hours. The effect of straight hair lasts about a year.

Straighten curls after perming can also be at home. There are several different ways for this, and the choice of a particular one depends on the intensity of the curl and the desired effect.

So, the use of an iron, which is used in combination with mousses, means of protection against thermal effects and moisturizing sprays, will help to remove the main “curliness”. When self-straightening, you must adhere to the following algorithm:

1. wash your hair with a straightening shampoo and slightly dry;
2. apply a thermal protective composition to wet curls and distribute it along its entire length;
3. comb the hair and with the help of hairpins divide them into strands 3 cm wide;
4. apply a silicone compound, a smoothing serum or a preparation based on coconut or sea buckthorn oils to the first strand;
5. hold along the entire length of the strand with an iron, starting from the very roots;
6. do the same actions with all the locks in turn;
7. fix the result with varnish.

Briefly remove the curls after the "chemistry" and you can use a hairdryer. For this, the head is also washed with straightening curls with shampoo and treated with balsam. Then the comb with rare teeth comb the curls and apply a smoothing mousse on them. Then, in small strands, the hair is wound on a round comb and, pulling it down, is dried with a hairdryer. It is advisable to move from the face to the back of the head, straightening curls from the roots to the ends. At the end of the procedure, the hairstyle is fixed with a strong fixation varnish.

Alternative methods are the most gentle way to straighten curls and provide powerful support for damaged "chemistry" hair. There are several effective recipes based on the use of affordable home and pharmacy products.

• Natural oils. The straightening composition consists of olive, burdock and castor oils, taken in equal proportions, with the addition of a small amount of lemon juice and jojoba oil. The components are mixed well, heated in a water bath and, starting from the roots, applied to curls. With significant damage to the cuticle, it is recommended to rub a small amount of the mixture into the scalp. Then the curls are wrapped with a towel and the mixture is left for 30 minutes. Then the oils are washed off, and the hair is slightly dried and straightened with a hairdryer or ironing.

• Cognac-vinegar mixture also straightens “chemistry” and nourishes damaged strands. You can do it this way: in a shallow container mix 20 ml of brandy, the same amount of apple cider vinegar and 5 drops of almond oil, lightly heat in a water bath and apply on the head. After 50 minutes, the composition is washed off with shampoo, and the hair is treated with a smoothing mousse. This mixture will not only straighten curls, but also give the curls a healthy shine.

• Mask of oil and gelatin prepared as follows: 2 tbsp. l shampoo mixed with 1 tbsp. l gelatin and three drops of jojoba oil. After swelling, the composition is applied to clean, slightly moistened curls, and left for 50 minutes. Then the mask is washed off with water, and the hair is dried with a hairdryer.

• Honey mixture prepared as follows: a glass of honey is heated in a water bath, applied to curls along the entire length and left for 15-20 minutes. Then the honey is washed off with shampoo and smoothed curls with a hairdryer.

• Iranian henna can also be used to straighten curls. To do this, the composition is applied over the entire length of the hair, and after 40 minutes it is washed off. Due to the enveloping effect, the natural pigment significantly thickens and makes the hair heavier, which makes them straighten under their own weight.
