Today, quite a few girls and women resort to perming hair. However, sometimes it happens that the procedure has already been done, and the hair color after it has lost its liking. The dilemma arises before the lady: to paint ringlets or not. Is it possible to do this, and if so, how to carry out the procedure correctly?
Features
First of all, it is worth noting that perm is a stress for curls. Despite the fact that the hair is always in perfect condition, it is styled and beautiful, this procedure is by no means harmless, even its most sparing variation. And therefore, we can say with confidence that immediately after curling, it is not advisable to expose the hair to new stresses.
Specialists in the field of hairdressing categorically forbid their clients to dye their hair immediately after perming. Hair at this time is fixed, take the desired shape, and if you put paint on them, then you can spoil the result of the procedure. It is recommended to wait at least a week, or even better - days 20. If you are in a hurry and want to quickly change the color of the strands, you will only get them to become drained, brittle and lifeless.
In addition, dyeing hair even a week or more after curling is possible only when they are naturally strong and have done well with curling. If there is any doubt that it is possible to harm the strands, a complex treatment should be carried out within a few weeks: drink vitamins, regularly make masks, be sure to use conditioner rinses.
You can also rinse hair with decoctions of medicinal herbs.
How to choose paint and shade?
Choosing a shade for coloring, it is best to contact a professional master. It is he who will tell you which types of dyes will be harmless to curls, and also from which shades you should not expect surprises after painting. In addition, the master will never stain chemically curled curls if there are wounds or abrasions on the scalp. The shade for painting should be chosen taking into account your native hair color.
If you are a brunette and suddenly decide to change your hair for a blonde, the time for this is not the best. The fact is that first you will have to lighten the curls, and this is one of the most dangerous procedures for hair. Together with a recently made perm, the effect will be completely unexpected, and this result is guaranteed to not bring satisfaction. Here you need to decide for yourself - either you lighten the hair, or curl them. Together, these procedures cannot be carried out even a month after chemistry.
Hue Shampoos
After the time given to the strands for recovery, you can try tinted shampoos. They gently affect the structure of the hair without damaging it. Experts advise to first apply the shampoo on one strand, and then evaluate the result. If it is satisfactory, you can use shampoo on all hair.
In addition to shampoos, it is not forbidden to try other tinting agents: tonics, balms, temporary dyes.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Such paints can be used somewhere a month after the perm. Since peroxide still causes some harm to the strands, staining should be done no more often than once every six weeks. Such paint will last about 2 months. If you chose it, take into account that from time to time you will have to take breaks, since the product dries the skin quite strongly. During the rest period, she will need various moisturizing and firming masks and balms.
Ammonia paints
Probably everyone knows these colors. Ammonia smell is often heard in beauty salons, as well as with home dyeing. When carrying out the procedure at home, the strict observance of the instructions becomes mandatory. For a long time, it is impossible to keep the dye on the hair in the hope that they will stain better. Here you can also give useful advice: if you prefer just such means, it is best to think about painting in advance. Made a few weeks before perm, it will do much less harm to curls.
Henna
As for henna, here the recommendations of experts are ambiguous. On the one hand, henna is completely natural, and therefore not able to spoil curls, but on the other hand, such a natural dye will completely “cancel” your perm. The components inside the henna will straighten attractive curls in a few days, and again you will get the same straight hair that was before the procedure. As a rule, in any salon customers are told this information, as well as the fact that henna can not be painted before curling.
The result will be the same - chemistry will not work.
Useful Tips
Since staining after perms is a procedure that is not always appropriate and rather risky, hairdressers have given some tips for those ladies who are going to paint at home.
- Hair that has undergone the procedure acquires a more porous structure. This means that they absorb the components of the paint much faster. The time indicated in the instructions will need to be reduced by 10 minutes. For example, if the product needs to be kept for half an hour, then in the case of curling, it will take 20 minutes.
- When applying paints with peroxide or ammonia, do not wrap your head or put on a hat. Such manipulations can result in you just burning your hair. However, this recommendation does not apply to henna - to put on a hat here, on the contrary, it is necessary.This will help the hair gain a more stable, saturated color.
- Before you start painting, be sure to trim your hair. Do not use cheap shampoos and masks, give preference to good, trusted manufacturers. Try to also drink plenty of fluids, do not expose curls to direct sunlight, do not visit the sauna and pool for some time after curling.
