What is there to know before you get a perm?
A perm is to get that curly hair with the help of chemicals that will mark that look. This is achieved in hairdressers where a professional will put in the hands of your hair or at home, where there are already tutorials on how you can get to practice it at home.
You should know that certain chemicals are used on a perm that can damage the hair something, but does not burn it. It will always be more advantageous and healthy to do a perm than if you try to curl your hair daily using products for it.
Over time you can untie the curl and lose its strength, but you can always get another permanent on top without problem. If at any time you want to have straight hair after doing this technique, there is no problem to perform it, since your curl will not lose strength.
If your hair has a tendency to suffer certain damage as a result of dyes or chemicals you can always a couple of weeks before do a couple of treatments on your hair to regulate its porosity and not punish it.
How to make a perm?
As a tip, to be able to do this type of curling it is advisable to have at least hair a little long. You have to see that the hair will shrink enough when you catch that curl. The materials to be used are the classic plastic or wooden curlers on which each strand of the hair will be wound.
We will wind strands of hair on these curlers and proceed to pour the special chemical liquid for perms. This liquid will break the internal bridges of the hair fiber so that they take the wavy shape.
After the waiting time of the product (time specified depending on the manufacturer) the hair will be rinsed with plenty of hot water without removing the curler. Then apply the neutralizing liquid that will fix the curl.
We remove the curler and massage the hair delicately to expand the product. Finally it is removed with warm water and a conditioner is applied from those that are not removed.
