Perming hair is one of the common ways that women often choose to change their hair styles. Let’s explore the advantages and disadvantages of 3 popular hair perming methods that you can consider to choose the appropriate method:
1. Salon Hair Perming
The biggest advantage of perming hair at a salon is that the hair will have vibrant colors and long-lasting styles. You can also seek advice from hair experts to know which hairstyle suits you the best. However, with this method, you usually have to spend a high cost to get the desired hair.
In busy occasions like the current one, you also need to make a hair appointment about 1 month in advance for the hair to have time to set. In addition, styling hair at a salon will take a long waiting time, especially during the Lunar New Year when the number of people getting their hair done increases sharply.
2. Home Hair Perming with Hair Styling Tools
This is a quick and cost-saving method which is doing it yourself at home with hair styling tools. You can easily and quickly change your hairstyle as desired. However, the main disadvantage is that it is difficult to achieve the same beauty and uniformity as when perming hair at a professional salon. If not done properly, you may risk damaging your hair, such as dryness or breakage.
3. Heat-free Hair Perming Accessories
Using heat-free hair perming accessories allows you to change many different hairstyles without worrying about heat damage to the hair.
Disadvantage: However, hair permed with heat-free accessories often quickly loses its shape and the hair curls are not even. You can only create a few basic hairstyles, unable to transform into many different styles. In addition, perming hair with heat-free accessories takes a long time for the hair to set.
Thus, each hair perming method has its own pros and cons, and each method will bring you different results. Salon perming brings vibrant colors and long-lasting styles to the hair, but it comes with a high cost and requires waiting time. Home perming with hair styling tools is cost-saving but prone to hairstyling mistakes. Heat-free hair perming accessories are safe for the hair but cannot guarantee long-lasting curls and cannot create complex hairstyles. Depending on personal preferences and conditions, each person can choose the appropriate hair perming method.
Create Elegant Hairstyles At Home With a Hair Styling Tool
Are you struggling to find time to visit the salon for the perfect hairstyle? With the right tools and products, you can now achieve salon-quality looks right from the comfort of your own home – no matter how busy your life may be!
– Start with clean, dry hair. If you have time, a deep conditioning treatment beforehand will add extra shine and manageability.
– Use a heat protectant spray before using any heat styling tools to prevent damage.
– To create loose, effortless waves, divide your hair into sections and wrap each around a curling wand, holding for just a few seconds to avoid an overly curled look.
– For a sleek, straight style, use a flat iron, but be sure to move it quickly through your hair to avoid heat damage.
– Add some volume and lift at the roots by backcombing gently or using a volumizing powder.
– Finish with a light hairspray to hold the style in place without making it look stiff or crunchy.
– Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove any product buildup that may dull your hair.
– Apply a hair serum or oil to the ends of your hair after washing to add moisture and shine. Argan oil or coconut oil are great natural options.
– Avoid excessive heat styling and always use a heat protectant spray when using hot tools.
– Try an apple cider vinegar rinse once a month to balance the pH of your hair and scalp, leaving it shiny and healthy.
– Eat a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, C, and E, and zinc for healthy hair growth and natural shine.
– Half-up, half-down: This style is effortless and chic. Simply take a small section of hair from each side of your part and secure it at the back of your head with a cute clip or hair tie.
– Low, messy bun: Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it into a loose bun. Secure with bobby pins and gently pull on sections to create a relaxed, effortless look.
– Braided crown: Create a deep side part and French braid the larger section across your head, pinning it at the back. This style looks intricate but is surprisingly easy to achieve.
– Accessorize: Add some sparkle to your look with hair accessories like glittery barrettes, headbands, or decorative hair ties.
