What is it and how is it done?
Chemical perm became known to the world at the beginning of the 20th century, when the hairdresser Karl Nessler invented a composition that for a long time allowed curls to hold a shape. True, this remedy did not differ in safety and severely spoiled the health of the hair. For a long time, a chemical wave was considered a procedure that, although it makes the hair curly, but does not have the best effect on their condition. Now the situation has radically changed.
First of all, a chemical wave of hair is a task for professionals. In no case should not put such experiments at home, it is better to go to the salon. First, the master should assess the condition of your hair, since fragile and weakened hair should not be subjected to additional stress. If the hair is in a satisfactory condition, then the wizard will pick up this or that type of wave, because there are many ways to curl hair, but there is no universal hair.
In addition, it is important to conduct a test for the sensitivity of the scalp to drugs that will be used for perming. The master will do the test on a small patch of skin and a small hair yarn. If the reaction is normal, the procedure can be continued.
It's worth knowing that chemical perm is impossible, if you used henna, you recently bleached hair. You should not do the perm, if you just dyed your hair with any paint, because under the influence of reagents hair can change color.
If your plans include both a curl and a haircut, you first need to do a perm and only then give your hair a shape. The time that will be required for the appearance of persistent curls, depends on many factors - and on the drugs that are used, and on the type of hair, and on the temperature in the room. Therefore, it is recommended to drink a cup of hot tea before the procedure. Sometimes to fix the effect, the hair is heated with a special unit. At the end of the wave, the hair should be elastic and slightly moist. If the curls are wet and will not keep in shape, then the wave did not work out, if the curls are dry, then the drug was overdone, and the hair was burned. After waving it is necessary to use balms and masks, restoring the structure of the hair. After such an impact, intensive protection and nutrition will provide them with a beautiful appearance.

Acid can be made with thioglic acid. This wave lasts only a month or two, after which the hair loses volume, and curls elasticity. But she spares her hair, which means less harmful.
Alkaline hair waving lasts from a month to three. If you want to achieve naturalness, then this is the best choice, since it is this way of curling that makes curls similar to natural curls. True, on the heavy and hard hair such a wave will not hold at all.
Neutral perm is now very popular. Preparations that help fix the curls, moisturize and strengthen the hair, so it is almost harmless.
Aminoacid perms of hair contains proteins, which additionally nourish the hair. On thin fluffy hair, it will look natural. There are also waving with silk proteins, biochemicals, a wave with a lipid-protein complex. They do not last six months, but they protect and strengthen the hair to a considerable extent, so the curls do not suffer from aggressive components of the chemical composition.
The shape of the curls can be different. Curls can be small, medium or large. It depends on the properties of the hair, the shape of the face and taste preferences. Therefore, you can not only choose how to curl the hair, but also what will be the curls.
In order to keep the wave for longer, the head can not be washed for three days after it. It is necessary to use special shampoos and balms, which are recommended for use after a chemical wave of hair. In addition, you will need a round soft hair brush, styling products that give shine to the curls.
