When I first heard the phrase “long-termhair styling" many women immediately remember about chemical perm, mercilessly destroying the hair structure in the name of elastic curls. However, long-term styling does not damage, but heals hair, and also allows you to look your best at any time of day and in any weather.
What kind of animal is carving?
The abbreviated name for this type of hair curling is"carving". This is a real find for girls who do not want to spend half an hour in front of the mirror every morning with a flat iron or curling iron in their hands. The pioneer of this hairdressing miracle was the company "Schwarzkopf", which came up with a unique way to preserve a chic hairstyle made by a professional master in a salon for a long time. Initially, the magical styling was done on special curlers, patented by the same company, using a special liquid for hair. The popularity of carving grew, as well as the variety of products for obtaining a long-term effect. Today, hair is styled on curlers of different shapes and sizes using fixing sprays, foams and mousses. The hair styling procedure is as follows: the hair is generously moistened with a fixative and the hairstyle is given the desired shape within a few minutes.
«Indications for use»
There are two types of carving.The first allows owners of long and thin hair, lacking volume, to achieve the desired splendor of curls. The second type of carving is a hairstyle modeling consisting of soft curls or natural curls. You should not expect African curls from this styling - the composition does not contain hard components, unlike the liquid for a chemical curl. Therefore, such styling is in some sense therapeutic - the keratin complex and multivitamins, which are the main components of the product, restore and nourish the damaged hair structure. Thus, long-term styling is not an analogue of a chemical one at all, it is more like a panacea for its consequences. Even if you do not need a hair curl, do carving - and your hair will stop frizzing, acquire a natural shine. Since a gentle composition is used during styling, you will have to update the result quite often - once every one and a half to two months. Fans of perms are familiar with the unpleasant feature of this procedure, which is the “conflict” of the fixative used. It promotes the washing out of the dye and the fading of the color of dyed hair. The same cannot be said about carving – it easily “coexists” with both professional dye and tint balms. Another pleasant bonus is that you will not have to get rid of the “washcloth” of hair damaged by chemicals by cutting. A month after carving, your curls will simply begin to “unwind” little by little, which will look absolutely natural.
Subtlety of Mastery
Long-lasting styling for medium hairIt starts with the hairdresser selecting a product to use as a fixing agent. The specific choice depends on the goal you want to achieve when you sit in the hairdresser's chair. A moisturizing composition is ideal for dry hair, while a product with panthenol is ideal for colored hair. This is followed by an allergy test for individual components - the fixing agent is applied to the inner bend of the elbow and a reaction is expected within 30 minutes. After that, the hair is treated with this composition and curled with curlers. If you do not like the "small devil", but want curls like a Hollywood movie star, ask to curl you with "boomerangs" or "rollers". After an hour, you need to wash your hair, using a nourishing mask. After that, the hair is dried and styled with a hair dryer. Long-term styling for long hair is distinguished by the fact that the hairdresser uses two compositions in his work. The first is intended for distribution along the length of the hair, the second is a more saturated composition and is intended for the ends. It “seals” the end of the hair, saving you from split ends for several months.
Hair care after carving procedure
If you don’t want to waste all your hairdresser’s efforts"No", do not use straightening products for styling at home. Otherwise, hair care after visiting a salon is very simple. After washing your hair, be sure to use conditioner. Using alcohol-based sprays to fix your hair is highly undesirable - they will dry out the soft core of the hair. To achieve tight curls, it is enough to use a gel with a "wet" hair effect for styling. We recommend reading:
