Perm: winding technique for your curly hairstyle

What you need:

• Perm
• Curlers for the perm
• Lace paper

First considerations about perm

• Before reaching for the curlers, think about how you want the hairstyle to look.
• What result do you want to achieve? Do you just want to get more volume and stand in your hairstyle? Should the hair fall wavy? Do you want curls - big or small?
• The result of the permanent wave depends on your hair length, the size of the curlers, the winding technique and the perm product.
• The smaller the perm, the smaller the curls will be.
• For gentle waves, it is best not to use curlers, but instead use papillots, i. H. flexible foam rolls.


Make light perm yourself - this is how it works

Are you dissatisfied with your straight long hair because you lack volume? …

• There are special curlers for corkscrew curls.
• Note that you can only achieve proper curls with permed curlers for shoulder length hair if the hair is layered.

Winding technique for curls - this is what you should pay attention to

1. Read the instructions on your perm product carefully.
2. With some products you wind the dry hair on the curlers, with others you wash the hair beforehand and wind up the hair that is still wet. So please study the instructions!
3. Take care of the ends of your hair when you perm by wrapping them with lace paper.
4. For the permanent wave, you should use permanent wave curlers of different thicknesses. This winding technique makes the perms look very natural.
5. Use larger curlers on the top of your head than on the sides and back of your head.
6. Using a pointed comb, part a strand of hair, pull it vertically upwards, wrap it around the ends of your hair with lace paper and wrap the strand of hair backwards on a perm on. The curlers are held in place by their elastic band.
7. Start at the top of the head and wind up one strand of hair after the other until you have also wound the hair on the nape of the neck and all the curlers are in a row.
8. Then wrap the side sections one behind the other on perm curlers.
9. Apply the permanent wave liquid and let it work according to the instructions.
10. Then rinse the hair well.
11. Take care of your hair with a conditioner.
