Have you decided to change your look, not waste time on styling and perm your hair? Of course, your curls will look spectacular around the clock, but do not forget that even the most expensive and gentle “chemistry” negatively affects the condition of the hair and changes its structure.

Hair restoration after perm requires intensive regular care.

Perm methods

Today, there are several methods of perm. Depending on your preferences, hair type and condition, you can choose the most gentle type of styling:

• Suitable for healthy, problem-free hair;
• Chemical alkaline, more gentle curling;
• - easy root perm. Suitable for all hair types, except very thick and dense hair.

Classic permanent:

A permanent or classic perm will help give your hair volume.
Two types of “chemistry” are used:

• Alkaline is the most gentle. Its main disadvantage is the short fixation period (up to three months). The curl will not hold on dense, thick hair.
• Acid perm. The hairstyle is performed using an acid-based composition, which allows you to get a hard curl with enhanced hold. However, the aggressive components of the composition used significantly damage the hair structure. Often, after chemical styling, hair requires enhanced care.

Hair restoration after classic perm:

Your set of hair care products should include balms and oils:

• Buy special products and complexes for hair restoration after chemotherapy, for example, the cosmetic hair care series of the Italian company Natura House “PBX + provitamin B5”, which contains valuable components: royal jelly, boxwood extract, provitamin B5, and pumpkin oil;
• After each hair wash, apply restorative products with proteins (balms, conditioners, sprays);
• To style and style your hair, use foam and hair care sprays with a healing effect.

Note! Experts advise choosing caring and restorative products from the same manufacturer. By complementing each other, they work more efficiently.

In order for the curl to look luxurious, and the curls and curls to retain their elasticity, the condition of the ends of the hair is very important. Therefore, before curling, they need to be cut.

But no one will argue that the best, simplest and most inexpensive hair care after chemicals is homemade masks without synthetic ingredients. Here are some recipes:

Mask with vodka

• 1 yolk;
• 1 teaspoon lemon or aloe juice;
• 20 grams of vodka.

Rub into hair roots. After half an hour, rinse with shampoo and rinse with acidified water.

Castor oil mask

• Onion juice.

Mix the ingredients in equal proportions and apply to hair. After 40 minutes, rinse with broth pharmaceutical chamomile, and then clean water. The procedure must be repeated several times a week and the hair will gain elasticity and shine.

After applying any mask, you need to put on a bath cap and wrap your head in a terry towel.

Important! For a sustainable healing effect, you need to carry out at least 10 caring procedures.

Carving or gentle chemistry

The method was proposed by specialists from Schwarzkopf. Carving, or light “chemistry”, is a long-term, gentle perm that gives root volume to the hair. Depending on the type and structure of the hair, it lasts 1 – 2 months. Gentle hair products are used to create hairstyles. chemical compositions, which injure curls to a much lesser extent than with conventional “chemistry”.

Carving hair care provides soft curls, indistinguishable from natural curls. After the procedure, the hair looks impressive and natural: large waves of curls, spiral curls, or broken strands.

The main feature of carving is that, if desired, hair can be straightened using heat-protective sprays and serums, straightening irons, and a hair dryer with a round brush.

Hair care after carving

Any impact chemicals has a negative effect on the hair structure. Based on this, even such gentle styling is recommended to be carried out no more often than once every three to four months.

Caring for “carved” hair is quite simple. To do this, it is enough to follow the general recommendations and use care products (shampoos, balms, masks) that correspond to the condition of your hair and its type.

After any perm procedure, do not wash your hair for several days. The composition should be fixed in the hair.

Try to comb your hair less often and only use a comb with natural bristles or wide teeth.

Important! Don't use a hairdryer. Hair should dry naturally.

What is cysteine ​​care?

Cysteine ​​hair restoration– this is a new word in restorative hair care. If your hair is constantly dyed or damaged as a result of perm, then cysting is the ideal procedure to restore vitality, elasticity and density to your hair. Cysteine ​​is also relevant for those who are unhappy with excessively curly hair. The procedure does not straighten curls, but reduces the volume of curls, giving the hair a noble look.

Cysteine ​​is a non-essential amino acid that is part of protein (keratin) and improves the structure of nails, skin and hair. Over time, the amino acid content in hair decreases, which leads to a decrease in its density. Unlike straightening (keratinization), cysteine ​​treatment nourishes hair from the inside, making it denser, shinier and more manageable. Salons offer cysteine ​​treatment with impeccable Amazon Series and Remedy cosmetics. Cosmetics can also be used at home, and the effect of the procedure is observed immediately after washing your hair. To replenish amino acids in the body, it is necessary to consume foods with high protein levels. Daily norm cysteine ​​intake is 1.8 g.

Benefits of cysteine-based cosmetics

• Delicate and long-lasting scent of all care products;
• Important! Shampoos, masks, balms do not contain parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde!;
• Consists only of natural ingredients;
• Protects hair from the sun, sea water and negative environmental factors.

Irons or straighteners help you quickly and easily new hairstyle. But frequent use of the tool leads to curls becoming brittle, dull and lifeless.

1. Darsonvalization– a salon procedure that is used in the most difficult cases. It is carried out with a special device, which, under the influence of current, affects the scalp. The master runs the device from the crown to the back of the head and from the crown to the temples.

It is important to help your hair recover not only by external methods, so you should take vitamins.

When choosing vitamins, you should pay attention that hair in such cases needs vitamins of group A, group B, C and D. They are the most important for health and growth.

Conventionally, in this case, vitamins can be divided into those used internally and externally.

Vitamins taken orally

• Evisent– contains B vitamins and calcium. They stimulate the hair follicles and improve hair.

It is necessary to use the funds in a complex and in a certain system, then the result will not be long in coming. However, it should be remembered that when using all the products, hair will grow no more than 2 cm per month. In conclusion, I would like to note that it is not so easy to restore hair after a perm. Therefore, it is important to think in advance whether it is worth doing this procedure at all.

In a healthy person, curls grow by 1.5-2 cm per month. There are lucky women whose growth rate reaches 3-4 cm per month. This is typical for young healthy individuals with good genetics who lead a healthy lifestyle.

But there is a different picture: the curls grow back so slowly that you have to wait a very long time to get your hair back. natural color hair after dyeing.

Factors affecting hair growth

There are a number of factors that affect how quickly your curls grow. We list the most significant of them:

1. Frequent coloring.
2. Perms, straightening with irons.
3. Abuse of curling irons, curlers, hair dryers.
4. Incorrect hair washing. The vast majority of women wash their hair in tap water containing chlorine. This element has a very detrimental effect on curls, making them dull, brittle and lifeless. Curls should be washed in soft boiled or settled water.
5. Insufficient care. After washing your hair, you should definitely use caring balms and masks that fill the hair shaft with all the nutrients.
6. Wrong selection of cosmetics. You should choose your own shampoo and nourishing conditioner for each hair type.
7. Malicious influence external factors. In summer, during the scorching sun, it is necessary to protect your head with a hat. Active ultraviolet radiation not only dries out curls, it also negatively affects the blood vessels of the brain. Heatstroke may occur. In winter you should protect your head warm hat. Severe frosts damage the hair and can cause serious infectious diseases.
8. Poor nutrition. This is perhaps one of the key factors to a luxurious mane. The growth, external gloss, and shine of the hair depend on how well the hair follicles receive nutrients. The diet should be balanced and contain all the necessary vitamins. Diets have a very detrimental effect on curls.
9. Stress, lack of sleep, smoking, alcohol are the main enemies of beautiful curls!
10. Improper head hygiene. This includes incorrect selection of the comb, a tight tail, and insufficient combing. The comb should be a massage comb with soft rods. You should comb your hair at least 2 times a day for 5-10 minutes. This promotes good blood circulation to the head, which means rapid growth of curls!

Thick hair means, first of all, daily work on yourself. There are lucky women with a good genetic predisposition who naturally have luxurious hair. But even if they stop painstakingly caring for their “treasure,” the curls will very quickly lose their shine and stop growing.

What are the types of hair?

To pick up proper care, you must first determine the type of curls.

Depending on the speed of pollution, hair can be:

• normal;
• fat;
• dry;
• mixed.

You can determine your type very easily. If the next day or the day after washing your hair, the curls look stuck together and unkempt, then their owner has an oily type. This is due to the fact that the sebaceous glands work very actively, producing excess sebum.

Normal hair retains a well-groomed appearance for a week after washing.

If the curls do not become oily at all within 1-2 weeks, and also look dull and brittle, then the young lady has a dry type.

There are also cases when a young lady’s roots become oily very quickly, while the ends of the hair shafts look dry and even split. This is a mixed type.

Fatty scalp depends on hormonal levels, genetic components, the presence of diseases, and also on lifestyle.

In order for your curls to always look well-groomed, you need your own approach to them. For example, shampoos should be selected only for your hair type. After washing, oily curls should be rinsed with a vinegar solution and dried naturally - in the air.

Dry strands should be nourished with special balms containing vegetable oils. Owners of mixed hair type should do double work: degrease the roots and nourish dry ends with oils.

According to their structure, curls are classified:

• curly;
• straight;
• thin;
• thick;
• soft;
• hard.

Curly hair can be either thick or thin. Tight thick curls need to be moisturized with oil balms. Sprays are also needed to make combing easier.

Thin hair requires nourishing masks, as well as special means, adding volume. When laying fine hair be sure to use various mousses and foams that help model your hairstyle.

By choosing adequate care, any hair can be brought closer to normal type, restore health and radiance to your curls.

Salon treatments for hair growth

You can quickly grow your hair after a perm, restoring its healthy shine, with the help of a qualified hairdresser in a beauty salon.

Main types of health procedures:

1. Lamination. This is a cosmetic procedure that creates a protective film on curls. It protects them from the harmful effects of external factors.
2. Mesotherapy. Unlike the previous procedure, mesotherapy has a therapeutic effect, not a cosmetic one. Its essence is that biologically active substances are introduced into the hair follicle ( hyaluronic acid, vitamins, oils) that fill the hair, making it healthy and shiny.

There are 3 types of masks:

1. Moisturizing. These masks are necessary for dry, frizzy, dull, colored, and chemically damaged curls. They are made from cosmetic oils.
2. Nourishing masks are necessary for any hair type. The ingredients they contain are rich in vitamins and minerals. They plump up the shaft, making it healthy and shiny. Most often in nourishing masks includes honey, eggs, kefir, fruit juices.

Proper nutrition and necessary vitamins

Healthy hair directly depends on proper nutrition. After all, hair follicles receive all the necessary vitamins and microelements from the blood. This means that if a girl is into dieting and her diet is very poor, then she should not hope for thick and healthy curls.

What should you eat to get the hair you want? The basis of nutrition for hair growth is protein. The hair shaft consists of 80% protein - keratin. Therefore, the daily diet should be based on protein foods:

• eggs;
• fish;
• lean meat;
• cheese;
• cereals

In second place in “hair nutrition” are B vitamins. With a lack of these vitamins in the diet, even baldness can occur. B vitamins are found in the following foods:

• cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir;
• beef liver;
• yeast;
• cabbage;
• beans;
• carrot;
• nuts;
• spinach;
• parsley.

The third place in the hair diet is made up of “beauty vitamins”: A, E. A lack of these vitamins threatens the appearance of dandruff and hair loss. The following foods are rich in these vitamins:

• fish fat;
• seafood;
• oil;
• dairy products;
• oatmeal;
• corn;
• almond;
• sprouted wheat grains.

Iron and calcium promote hair growth very quickly. The sources of these valuable microelements are:

• red meat;
• eggs;
• bran;
• cereals;
• cottage cheese;
• pomegranate;
• greenery;
• tomatoes
• garlic
• apples.

Vitamins do not tend to accumulate in the body, and therefore their reserves must be replenished all the time. Eating fruits and vegetables should make up half of your daily diet!

Also, do not forget about the drinking regime. The hair shaft consists of 20% water. To keep your curls shiny and moisturized, you need to drink 1.5-2 liters of water a day every day.

The daily diet should be composed correctly so that it includes all the necessary elements in the right quantities. You can turn to a good nutritionist for help, who will prepare the correct scheme nutrition, taking into account individual characteristics.

Grow healthy long hair is quite real! To do this, you should conduct healthy image life, eat quality food, and also choose the right care for your hair.

Surely, when you went to the hairdresser to get a permanent perm, you wanted to leave the salon with luxurious shiny curls. But instead, the hair after a perm is like a washcloth, and even falls out, driving you into panic. Alas, such a hairdressing procedure is stressful for the hair. And although the beauty industry has moved far ahead, and innovative compositions are used for curling, hairdressers still warn women about the possible consequences. But when has this stopped the fair sex on the path to change? So, let's talk about how to save your hair after a bad perm.

Types of permanent styling

First, let's figure out what types of permanent hair styling are offered in salons today, and after what chemicals hair begins to fall out:

• Alkaline. This type of styling gives the most durable result - it lasts about 3 months. It is achieved due to the fact that the drug penetrates deep into the hair shaft, while lifting the scales of the hair cuticle. Of all types of curls, this is the most budget-friendly solution. And alas - the most harmful.
• Acidic. The technology is based on the use of thioglycolic acid. The composition penetrates into the hair shaft without lifting the scales of the hair cuticle, and forms elastic, strong curls that last for about 1-1.5 months. The procedure is not suitable for those with dry and weakened hair, as the results on them will not last long. It is not recommended for sensitive skin scalp, since the acidic composition causes irritation.
• Biowave. This is the most expensive, but also the safest type of perm. The formulations used to shape curls do not contain ammonia, thioglycolic acid or hydrogen peroxide. All components are natural and have a molecular composition similar to hair. In addition, the composition is enriched with vitamins and minerals, which additionally care for curls. The effect of biowave lasts from 3 to 9 months.
• Neutral. Performed with low acid content compounds. This type of permanent hairstyle is suitable for any hair type. The composition includes keratins, which cover the scales of the hair cuticle, promoting the restoration of curls. The effect of neutral curling lasts 2-6 months.
• Japanese. This type of curling is suitable even for those with thin and brittle hair. It can also cope with coarse hair that does not hold its shape well. The composition includes a special lipid complex that smoothes the hair cuticle, fills cavities and creates a protective barrier on the hair.

As you can see, not all types of perms are equally harmful. Moreover, some are even expected to benefit!

Causes of hair loss after perm

Damaged hair after perming is most often the result of an incorrectly chosen technology. It is very important that the styling method matches your hair type.

The second equally important point is to carefully follow the hair care instructions after the procedure. No matter how delicate the composition you use, salon-permed hair needs more intensive nutrition and hydration.

And finally, hair loss after a perm can be a consequence of the hairdresser’s basic lack of professionalism or the use of a low-quality composition. Therefore, you can trust such an important undertaking only to a qualified craftsman. Before the procedure, he must carry out several simple measures. By the way, if the hairdresser did not bother himself with any preparation, but simply offered the curling option that he knows how to do, it’s time to get up from the chair and leave the establishment.

So, so that you don’t have to think about how to grow your hair after a perm, the hairdresser should do the following:

• Assess the condition of your scalp for dandruff, any damage and signs of infectious diseases.
• Determine the type and condition of your hair. The specialist must understand what kind of hair you have - hard or soft, dyed or not, and what exactly it is dyed with.
• Do an allergy test. The selected composition is applied to the skin. The reaction is checked after a quarter of an hour.
• Take a test drive on one strand. Some hair is too resistant to curling. The master must make sure that the procedure will be effective so as not to subject the entire head of hair to it in vain.

Rules for hair care after permanent hair removal

Even if everything went well and you are completely satisfied with the result, you should not relax. It can be very easily ruined along with your hair if you don’t pay enough attention to it.

Let's start with how to wash your hair after a perm:

• Hygiene procedures are allowed only when soiled. Perms dry out your hair, so don't once again expose them to alkali. Use only shampoos for dry and normal hair.
• After washing, do not keep a “turban” made of a towel on your head and do not rub your hair. Just blot gently.
• It is better to wash your hair in the morning so as not to go to bed with wet hair.
• Avoid washing hot water. This is a universal rule, but after curling it is especially important to follow. The scalp is already very irritated.
• Conditioner should be a mandatory part of your hair care program. It will help restore water balance curls and scalp and smooth the scales of the hair cuticle after washing. In addition, it detangles the hair and makes combing easier.
• Be sure to make a mask with an intense restorative effect once a week.

The procedure for combing hair will also change. Curly curls are more difficult to comb than straight ones. Therefore, get a comb with rare teeth and a massager with natural bristles. All combs with metal teeth go into the trash!

What else you need to know about hair care after perm:

• Keep heat styling to a minimum and try to avoid exposing your hair to sunlight. If you really can’t resist using a hairdryer, use a diffuser to dry your hair. And be sure to use professional products for hair after perm - thermal protection and sprays with a high SPF factor.
• For 3 weeks after the procedure, avoid styling products.
• Try not to tie your hair with elastic bands or twist it into tight hairstyles.

What should you do if almost immediately after perm your hair feels like a washcloth? If instead of the promised curls you have something resembling tow on your head, most likely the master chose the wrong composition or simply overexposed it.

Most often, in this case, women decide to take radical measures - they do short haircuts, and then look for ways to speed up hair growth after chemotherapy. However, if for some reason this is not possible, you should try lamination. The essence of the procedure is to apply a special mask to the hair. Under the influence of temperature, it forms a protective layer on the hair. At the end, the hair is straightened with an iron, and it becomes perfectly smooth and shiny. However, the effect of the procedure does not last long - only a few weeks. Then it will have to be repeated - and so on until the “tow” grows completely.

Keratin straightening gives a longer lasting effect. It can last up to 10 months.

You can fix bad curls with these salon procedures. But if your hair falls out after a perm, what should you do? In this case, additional stress will only worsen the situation.
