Perm article
Principle: The basic process of perm is divided into two steps. The first step is to break the sulfur bond and hydrogen bond in hair through chemical reaction, and the second step is to recombine and stabilize the hair core structure.
This is background knowledge, which the stylist may not know. For hair stylists, the first step is softening, and the second step is shaping.
Accordingly, the basic combination of perming agent is two doses. Curly hair is liquid medicine, ionic perm is ointment, and ceramic perm is ointment and water. The first dose will have obvious ammonia smell, which is the necessary chemical component of softening and the culprit of hair injury. Therefore, judging the quality of perm products basically depends on this first dose, and the second dose is basically not too bad.
In addition, three doses of perm products are popular now. Generally speaking, if the packaging capacity of the third dose is the same as that of the first two doses, it is a simple conditioner. If the third dose is a small package, it will be varied, which may be pre-scalding protection, post-scalding repair, hydrating agent or pure water. It's good to know this. Hairstylists may boast that it is an exclusive patent or something. In fact, it is very common to add a third dose.
Now enter the actual combat training.
First of all, before you decide to have a perm, you should know whether your hair is resistant or damaged, fragile or normal and healthy. Good brands will have products specifically for all kinds of hair. If your hair is completely inelastic, Tintin suggests that you give up the plan of perm, because your hair-unfortunately-is dead.
When you enter a hairdressing shop, you must first judge whether the barber is professional and honest enough. A hair stylist who is too young is absolutely unreliable, no matter how professional and crazy he looks. Perm is a technical job. Without years of practical experience and thousands of brains, even a genius is ineffective. Look at his talk again. Hairstylists who want to make money will only look at your hair and start recommending products. Start with the most expensive one, and you will reduce the price once. Moreover, he will say that your hair is not good, on the one hand, it is to promote more expensive products, on the other hand, it is to leave a way out for yourself. In case of scalding, you can put the blame on your hair. The hair stylist in charge will ask your needs first, carefully observe your hair quality and make reasonable suggestions according to the actual situation.
You should choose a product after choosing a barber. Don't just listen to his recommendation, look at the price list. Adhere to product packaging. What is not beautifully packaged must be a good product. Several points must be noted: domestic brands must have production licenses and hygiene licenses, and dyeing products must also have special cosmetics licenses. All three are indispensable, and the name and address of the factory must be clearly marked. Any of the above can be judged as fake and shoddy. Imported brands must have import licenses and Chinese instructions. Don't believe such nonsense as "parallel imports". There is also a nominal "manufacturer of a company in a certain country". Don't even think about it, there is no doubt that it is false. Asking about softening time. For normal hair, it usually takes about 30 minutes for a good softener not to be heated, while it may take 15 minutes for a poor softener to soften.
Entering the actual operation, the technician's skill will be revealed. The hair bundle coated with softener should be thin and narrow to soften evenly; But it's fast. If it takes 15 minutes to apply the medicine alone, the lower part will soften and the upper part will only be half finished. Do you think it should be washed?
The current perming products basically do not need heating, especially ionic perming, which will cause uneven softening of the inner and outer layers. So even if the store is busy and the stylist wants to send you away early, he must resolutely refuse the heat.
Stereotypes are basically not a big problem. The final judgment of success depends on the effect, luster and natural fluency. After ironing, the hairdresser will do some tidying, blow-dry her hair and fetch water. When you go out, you must have a perfect hairstyle, check it carefully before ironing, and then see what will happen the next day.
