 We remember the historic of 19th century when al the ladies
had a bash at making their hairdo as absurd as possible in many ways. Most
recognized were the hair modeling tools created by the French stylist Gratiae
to create waves. That was the time when the hair of ladies was burnt in
hairdressers. Later on safe hot curling method was invented and in 21st century
any woman has the challenge to opt for the curly hair done for a short of time.
First records on hair perm go back to the epoch of Ancient
Greece and Egypt. So, the ancient scripts depict men and women curling their
hair on wooden sticks. In Middle Ages wigs with solid locks were in for both
men and women. In 1906 Karl Ludwig Nessler created the perming method when the
alkaline solution was applied to hair which was curled on metal stems heated to
particular temperature. The hair styling lasted for six hours often followed by
burns. In 1948 the approach to set the hair was invented when hair was not
treated thermally, it was heated due to chemical reaction, instead. That was
the new era for the hairdressing industry.
Perm was found its triumph in 80s of the 20th century with
the blooming of disco style. The perm done to hair made them dull and burnt.
Two classic
methods to wave hair are known. One is alkaline method based on the capacity of
the alkali to make the hair structure soften. The hair is then fixed to
give curls to live for three to six months. The other is acid method which is safer when the hairdo is kept for a
year or so.
The new way to make the hair curly is bio-waving when no
ammonia, no hydrogen peroxide, no thioglycolic acid are used being the
components for classing perm procedure. The major active component is hydrochloride
which is the analog of cystine, the amino acid which is the component of human
hair structure.
Different
hair perm rods are used to achieve different results. Today the trend is to
have naturally gentle curls streaming the shoulders.
Go to your hairstylist
before you go to have perm. It also should go with the face shape. Some ladies
try out spiral curls with the help of curling irons and hair perm lotions and
rods.
The hairstyle
is also essential in determining the kind of hair perm. Some perms go well with
hair in one length while others are done to work with layered hairstyles.
Having your hair permed means using chemicals which break and reform disulfide
bonds of hair. The hair is washed and then wrapped on a perm rod and
waving lotion is applied with a base. This solution creates a chemical action
that softens the inner structure of the hair. It reacts with the keratin of the
cortex, breaking some of the disulfide cross-links within and between the
protein chains.
The waving process is similar for all technologies when hair
is rolled, moisturized with special remedy, washed off and fixed. The procedure
is not recommended be done in home conditions.
The innovative approached is lately introduced. The
scientific doctors from the L'Oreal scientific research laboratories finally
managed to reveal the secret of curls. The structure of hair follicle matters
here. When it is unrolled, the hair grows spirally. In view of this discovery
the new medication was invented which is still being tested. When the study is
proved by results in practice, any woman soon can turn into curly-haired lady
without damaging hair: a single pill to swallow is enough.
Modern hair
perms are also done to add more volume to hair but not for curls. This type of
hair perm lasts for about 6 weeks and is found to be cheaper than a common hair
perm. This is good for women who want to change the hairstyle to try the new
image. Spiral perm hairstyle sets well on thicker hair.
In 21st
century lots of curls are done with various tools from tiny curls, goffering, boomerang,
spin-like locks, curls a-la Hollywood
and many others. Every approach is attractive though before you go to have your
hair permed, you’d better consult with your stylist or just try curly hair
using the virtual beauty salon on Internet.
