Curvy and curly curls are the dream of every girl. Curly hair in any situation looks stylish and impressive, as well as give a woman lightness, airiness and romance. Unfortunately, nature did not reward all representatives of the weaker sex with this feature of hair. Modern manufacturers of cosmetic products, together with stylists, have developed an artificial way to give hair a curly and voluminous structure - a vertical perm. The main feature of this procedure is the ability to carry it out not only in beauty salons, but also at home.
What it is?
Not only beautiful clothes and the right make-up, but also a well-chosen hairstyle will help to give confidence in one’s abilities, improve one’s mood, improve one’s personal life and make career progress. A win-win option for many years remains curly locks obtained using vertical curling.
Vertical perm - permanent vertical chemistry, the manufacture of which requires special vertical curlers and chemicals.
The technology for creating this hairstyle is the effect of chemicals on the surface of the cuticle and the opening of scales on the surface of curls. This manipulation makes it possible to give the hair the necessary shape. To close the scales and preserve curls for 6 months, it is necessary to apply fixing agents.
For the correct selection of a chemical agent, it is necessary to take into account the type of hair, their condition and structure. The least harm to curls is caused by biological products based on natural components.
To preserve curls for more than 6 months, experts recommend curling unpainted hair that has not been straightened for a long period.
The time taken to complete this procedure depends on the length and density of the hair and can exceed 4 hours.
The cost of the procedure depends on the following factors:
- size, structure and condition of curls;
- type and grade of chemical composition;
- professional hairdresser;
- popularity of a beauty salon.
Before visiting the salon, you need to know which curls fit the face:
- oval and round - dense curls;
- triangular - soft waves with light curls.
To reduce the negative impact of chemicals on the hair structure, hairdressers recommend using a vertical biowave, which includes amino acids.
Distinctive features are lightness, airiness and a short period of operation.
This chemical procedure requires a mandatory analysis of the condition of the hair and scalp. Specialists distinguish the following main stages:
- assessment of elasticity, strength, density and type of strands;
- checking the skin for wounds, injuries and various diseases;
- checking for the absence of an allergic rash, redness and swelling;
- determination of the reaction of hair to fixing drugs.

The most popular are curlers in the form of a cone.
The structure of the hair affects the choice of this product:
- for long and dense curls - large whooping cough;
- for lush strands of medium length - medium curlers;
- for thin and short hair - small whooping cough.
To obtain small and dense curls, you need to use small curlers, to create voluminous curls, large devices are suitable.
If the client has bangs, the hairdresser can use bobbins of different diameters.
If it is not possible to visit a beauty salon, this procedure can be performed without leaving your home. For vertical chemistry, you need to purchase the following items:
- a special set for curling curls;
- the required number of whooping cough (depends on the length and volume of hair);
- rubber or plastic gloves;
- a hat.
The perm procedure consists of the following steps:
- shampooing with shampoo appropriate to the type of hair;
- blotting hair with a bath towel;
- applying oily cream to the skin near the forehead;
- treatment of strands with protective lotion;
- separation of curls into the required number of strands;
- winding curls on selected curlers starting from the occipital part of the head;
- applying a chemical composition and covering the head with polyethylene or a hat;
- maintaining the amount of time specified in the instructions;
- applying a neutralizing drug for 5 minutes;
- rinse hair with plain warm water;
- remove whooping cough;
- to dry curls.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to conduct an allergic reaction test, for which it is necessary to apply a small amount of the composition on the wrist and stand for 10 minutes. After this amount of time, rinse off the drug and make sure that there are no redness or stains.
The fixing chemical composition can be purchased in finished form or created independently.
To create a drug at home, you need to mix 1 part shampoo with the same amount of perhydrol and add 7 parts of clean and warm water.
Before wrapping the strands, you must carefully study the pattern of fastening the bobbins, the compliance with which determines the quality of the hairstyle and the neatness of the curls.
For medium and long hair, the method of winding has common features, and for short curls there is a special scheme for fixing the curler.
Methods of winding bobbins on long hair:
- visual division of the head into squares starting from the occipital part;
- the square should correspond to the diameter of one bobbin;
- winding curlers without pulling hair in exactly one direction;
- only after fixing all the occipital strands it is possible to proceed to the temporal region, and then to the parietal and frontal.
With very long curls, you can use two bobbins for one strand.
Before curling hair of any length on curlers, you need to fix the curl in a special hole at the base. You can simplify the procedure with the help of a special stander. Ignoring this stage will lead to deformation of the structure.
Fixing curlers on short hair has a number of features and is carried out in a circle of the head. You need to start work from the top of the head and go down to the back of the head and temples, capturing the area of the crown of the head.
Particular attention should be paid to the vertical perm on long hair with bangs. This procedure has a number of features that must be considered when performing the procedure:
- winding in the crown zone is carried out from the crown;
- fixing curlers from the face;
- twisting the bangs is permissible only if its length reaches the middle of the nose.
A prerequisite is that you can change the hair length and type of haircut only before conducting perm.
