In the summer I really want the hairstyle to look as natural as possible. To curls as if by themselves.
Curls and waves are one of the most popular styles. It is suitable for any situation, but is especially relevant in the summer, when the hair is always in sight and the wind plays with them. If you have to conjure daily on creating a light wave for half an hour, it makes sense to consider it as an option biowave. It is not as harmful to hair as a traditional permanent, but it looks very natural, and the curl after it is light. It is also called biological or amino acid perm. The difference from classical chemistry is in principle the effect on the hair.
Resistant chemistry It works due to thioglycolic acid, which destroys the molecular bonds inside the hair and changes its structure. The result is a curl of the desired shape. But at the same time, the hair weakens, loses elasticity, becomes brittle and thin.
The main character biowaving - protein cystine (cystiamine) - a substance related to the amino acids that make up our hair. Built into the hair, it allows you to experiment with the form. In theory biowaving does not involve the use of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. However, on dense and stiff hair, ammonia and its substitutes cannot be dispensed with. True, their concentration is minimal.
A harmless curl is a myth.It is impossible to make straight hair curly without chemical treatment. And she, one way or another, weakens the hair - the hair loses moisture and "fluffiness", become less elastic and split. For healthy hair, this is nonsense, and for weakened hair is a problem.
Biowave - a real find for thin hair. They acquire additional volume. To enhance the effect after the procedure, the hair is dried by lowering its head down and directing a stream of air against their growth.
Preparing hair for the procedure
If the hair is dyed, burned out in the sun or looks dull, they need intensive care a couple of weeks before the procedure. Useful and effective masks with proteins, ceramides, lipids, mineral complexes.
To moisturize your hair, use products with natural oils. Make masks - 2-3 times a week. In addition, it would be nice to use separate products for the ends of the hair - vitamin sprays, oils, serums.
The main assistants in the care of beautiful curls are gels and serums texturing curls. Apply it to damp hair and set the direction with your hands. Lacquer is completely optional. But the spray shine is a useful thing. It gives the hair a well-groomed appearance.
Special after care
After biowaving any hair, even the healthiest, requires special care. First of all, again, the emphasis on hydration. Masks and conditioners with amino acids, seaweed and plant extracts (chamomile, aloe barbadenis, primrose, etc.) will restore hydro balance and maintain hair elasticity.Very good remedies with oils of argan, sweet almond, grape seed.
In order not to overdry your hair, choose a mild shampoo, preferably sulfate-free. Additional care products - peeling for the scalp, serum, restoring ampoules - can be used without restrictions, if you feel the need.
the effect biowaving on average, from 4 to 10 months. Duration depends on the type and structure of hair. Thin hair is best kept in a curl. The larger the wrap, the faster it will straighten.
By the way, another advantage biowaving in that it comes off gradually, very gently, while maintaining the attractiveness of styling. In the future, the procedure can be repeated, focusing on the current condition of the hair.
Gentle curling
For those who would not like to wear their waves for a long time, we can recommend an easier option - carving (long-term styling). So, too, you can get curls from soft large waves to mischievous whooping cough, but the result will last only 3-8 weeks. Carving considered even less traumatic than biowaving. But the limitations are the same. You should not resort to it if the hair is damaged or has recently been highlighted. After treatment, the same care is required as after the usual curling procedure.
TIP:
■ Care must be taken biowave on bleached hair. Blonding, unlike regular staining, enhances dehydration and makes hair more brittle. A combination of two procedures can cause brittleness. The longer the hair, the higher the risk.
■ Biowave not recommended if chemical straightening has been done. Popular methods using keratin allegedly do not have such restrictions, but experts advise to withstand at least a month between treatments. Otherwise, the drugs can react with each other and lead to unpredictable results, both in terms of hair damage, and in terms of curl formation.
■ Another limitation is the natural structure of the hair. The tougher and denser they are, the higher the probability of staying "with their own". Large waves on hair of this type practically do not hold. Therefore, choose a wrap for small bobbins, only such curls will remain for several months.
