The perm returns and it’s chic. According to the Australian edition of Voguein fact, we are in full swing revival of the technique for frisé and hyper volumized hair that went crazy in the 80s (and which, it must be said, ruined the hair of many of us at the time). For example in the luxurious salons of Luke HershesonEnglish hair stylist with star customers like Keira Knightley and Emma Stonethe so-called “new perm “a permanent decidedly more respectful of the hair than in past decades, with a soft and casual final effect and the use of much more comfortable curlers, combined with the application of waving products and at the same time protective of the capillary stem. What is certain is that the choice of perm was and remains quite demanding. What, therefore, are the elements to consider e the pros and cons to weigh before booking the appointment? Word to two experts, to avoid repentance.
Things to consider before getting a perm
As he explains Giuliano Peretti, owner of the Cotril Salons of Via Castel Morrone in Milan, «if it is true that compared to the permanent one of the 80s, the current one has a much more natural blur effectwith soft movement and support, before doing it it is essential that the expert does one accurate diagnosis of your hair. Indeed if it is too treated or discolored, and therefore already weakened and not very elastic, it is better to avoid this type of treatment ». This doesn’t mean that you have to give up on the idea of perm forever if that’s what you want. Second Jo Hairpartner Wella«In case of lightened hair with shatush or balayage it is enough restore keratin of the shafts, booking at least two hair reconstruction sessions and applying a keratinizing product at home for at least 15 consecutive days. Even in the case of thin hairbetter not to risk: before doing the perm get a couple of advice professional fortifying treatments“.
Optimal hair length for perm
Another doubt to dispel: on what length is it ideal to do the perm? According to Peretti, «the blur effect works best on long or medium-long haireven if they are very fashionable right now also the bob and the lob (= long helmet) in wavy version “. Hair agrees: «the perm is enhanced by long hair. Think of the scenographic effect of Shakira at Super Bowl 2020“.
How much will the effect tell and how to maintain it
As Peretti recalls, «the perm technique ensures optimal performance two to four months, with variations depending on the length and type of hair. To take care of the beauty routine at home, of course. To help the hair stay wavy you need to dry them using the diffuser, as well as styling products activating curls, which increase their definition ». Also according to Capelli the drying ritual is very important for all those who have chosen the perm. “For an effect very curly a highly resistant product – for example a salt spray -, massaging the curls with your hands, moving closer to the skin. If you want one instead made softer and less volumizedyes to one protein based cream, to be applied on the hair with the help of a wide-toothed comb, and then shake the hair. For everyone: it is important to invest in double shampoo and conditioner moisturizing and restructuring action“.
Mistakes not to be made when the perm was made
“No to ponytails or half ponytails: you risk to end up with half a head smooth and the other half curly or wavy », underlines the expert Wella. «Again, between one shampoo and another it is It is strictly forbidden to brush your hair. Granted only one comb, as long as it is a wide teeth, to be used in the shower to untangle the hair (never jerk!). The diffuser must become your best ally for drying: take into account at least 10 minutes for this phase and banish haste or you will end up with an unmanageable hair. And if you really regret your perm, remember that they can be done in the salon straightening treatments with keratinas long as you do not subject your hair to excessive stress ».
