Professional permanent

Professional products for curls, waves and volume … The perm is a cult of the 80s and is back in fashion in the 2019 hair trend. The perm is a chemical process that breaks down the natural structure of the hair in order to create curls even in straight hair . Depending on the products used, we can have a curly perm, a wavy perm or a soft perm. This treatment allows you to have curly and fluffy hair for a long time.

Hair perms require the use of chemicals that break down certain protein bonds in the hair to shape it into a new wavy shape. Today the chemicals used are less aggressive than in the past. The formulation of the specific products contains numerous agents that take care of the hair . Silk proteins , for example, make the hair more sinuous, aloe vera makes the hair soft and the amino acids help keep the hair vital and elastic. The curly perm allows straight hair to become curly permanently, so if you no longer want the curls the only solution is to cut your hair.

How is perm done? First of all, it must be done by a professional, who must carefully examine the structure of the hair in order to set up the right type of procedure. The planning of the treatment includes, in addition to the choice of the product, the curlers, their arrangement, the laying times, also all the techniques and methodologies of the treatment. It is, so to speak, the score to get a good perm.

To carry out the perming treatment, tools are needed by means of which the hair is put into shape: a new shape which, after the treatment, will take on permanently. Such tools are represented by curlers. Proper use of the curler is of great importance in achieving the desired result. There are many recurring errors during wrapping: loose hair at the root, pressure on the hair, too tight strands and many other errors that can compromise the final result. The quality of the hair and the desired waviness are always interdependent: the right relationship must be created between them. Both factors determine the thickness (diameter) of the curler. It is impossible to get frizzy curls with thick rollers and it is of course impossible to get a soft perm using thin rollers. It is also impossible to expect a support perm in the presence of very thin and inelastic hair, using large rollers. The result of a perm and hair loss depend, to a considerable extent, on the correct winding of the curlers and their correct position.

Curly perm : wet hair is wrapped around rollers and then a waving lotion is applied which, penetrating inside the hair, modifies its natural shape. After the lotion has worked, the hair is rinsed and another "neutralizing" substance is applied, which rebuilds the previously broken chemical bonds, giving life to the new shape of the hair, thus making it "permanent". When the neutralizer has acted, remove the curlers and proceed with styling. The curly perm is ideal for those who love curly or very curly hair. Narrow curlers are used to create compact and thin curls and the treatment is performed in a couple of hours.

Women who prefer a natural and slightly wavy effect can choose a wavy perm , this is done with larger curlers, leaving the product on, usually for no more than 30 minutes.

For those who want a beach waves or curly effect hair, they can be satisfied with a light perm , it is support for curly or straight hair. It is performed with a chemical treatment which has less impact on the hair than the traditional one. Generally ammonia is not used, in this way the hair fiber is not stressed. It is ideal for those with very fine hair, it gives soft curls that can be obtained by playing with the different sizes of curlers used: the small ones will give life to very curly hair, the larger curlers instead will create large curls that will fall glamorous waves, beach waves effect. Those who already have wavy hair will be delighted with this effect of soft waves.

Although today's perms are much more delicate than in the past, hair that has just undergone this treatment needs special care. Don't forget to use shampoos and lotions specifically designed for those with perms that restore vitality and shine to curly or stressed hair.
