Daily hair styling in a hairstyle is a process that often requires a lot of time. Significantly facilitate and speed up the procedure will help such a hairdresser's service, like carving, or long-term hair styling.
What is carving?
At its core carving is a kind of chemical wave, but this procedure is performed using other preparations that differ by a gentle, gentle action. Special composition gently affects the hair, giving them fluffiness, obedience, softness, helps to facilitate and diversify the styling. Unlike chemical and biochemical perm, persistent and steep curls on the hair as a result of the procedure will not be. Carving creates an effect of light waviness, thereby providing a long volume and the desired shape of the hairstyle.
Long-term styling is performed using a variety of curlers: large, thin, roller, boomerang, etc. There is also a procedure for local carving, in which the styling is performed only on the root zone (root volume), on individual strands or hair tips.
For what hair is suitable for long-term styling?
The recommended length of hair for carving is from 10 to 25 centimeters. Longer hair due to its severity does not allow to create the proper effect. To change a situation in that case the hairstyle with hair unequal on length (for example, the cascade ) can. On short hair styling will not last long and will be barely noticeable.
Long-term styling on thin and too soft hair, which does not retain volume and shape - an excellent solution to the problem. Also, the procedure is recommended for oily hair. after carving, the hair is dried a little and lasts longer after washing. Long-term styling on painted the day before, clarified and melted more than 60% hair, is not recommended. This is due to the fact that, although carving is a gentle method, but still slightly injures the weakened hair after previous procedures.
For too damaged, brittle and porous hair, long-term styling can be performed only after a course of hair-healing procedures.
To find out how the long-term styling will affect hair, you can do preliminary testing on one strand. It also helps to prevent a possible allergic reaction and will allow the master to determine the exact concentration of the composition and the time of exposure.
