Lyudmila, 29 years old
I didn’t let my hair go long before because it wasn’t practical. But the time has come for a change, I wanted to change my hairstyle, and my overall image. First of all, I dyed my hair, adding highlights to the strands through lightening in the Shatush style. While I was sitting with dye on my curls, looking through magazines, I came across a photo of a girl who looked like me with light curls on her head. The idea of having a similar hairstyle was born. The master said that the technique is called carving or soft perm, and it should be done a couple of weeks after dyeing. I counted down the days, and when the time came, I rushed to the hairdresser. The carving was done in an hour, I was 100% satisfied. I look like a Hollywood movie star - fresh, young with voluminous hair. It’s a shame that it only lasts 3 months, but the price is affordable, so it won’t put a strain on the family budget.
The currently fashionable word “carving,” which pops up every now and then in the conversations of fashion stylists, essentially means long-term hair styling. The visual effect after this procedure is reminiscent of a perm, which was extremely popular when our mothers were young. What is the difference between fashionable carving and antediluvian “chemistry”, and how this installation is done, you will find out in this article.
When literally translated into Russian, the word “carving” means “cutting” or “artistic cutting.” This term is used in sports, cooking and car enthusiast societies. The concept of carving, as a type of super-resistant styling, was introduced and patented by the Schwarzkopf company. The corporation's specialists performed hair curling using spiral curlers in combination with the use of a special composition, which is today sold under the brand of the same name. After the procedure, beautiful curls were formed that lasted for 1-2 months.
Today, masters from different countries perform carving using curlers of various modifications: large, small, “boomerangs”, “rollers”, etc., depending on the client’s wishes. In this case, the shape and structure of the curls are different, but the principle of styling remains unchanged.
Carving is called light chemicals because it uses more gentle compounds than those used for perm. Although the process of performing both types of styling is very similar.
The undeniable advantage of carving is that after it the hair is less damaged, becomes manageable and soft, in contrast to chemical treatments, after which hard, protruding curls are formed on the head, which are difficult to style. In addition, after 1-2 months the carving effect disappears on its own and the curls acquire their usual texture, while after perm the curls remain for at least six months.
The repeated carving procedure can be carried out after 2-3 months without causing any particular harm to the hair. Perm is allowed no more than once a year.
The ideal option for carving is obedient, slightly curly hair of medium length. In this case, the curl will last as long as possible and look most harmonious. The denser and more springy the hair, the worse the curling takes place, but an experienced hairstylist can create the necessary texture even in this case.
Carving can also be done on dyed and completely bleached hair, but it is worth considering that it is better not to apply dye immediately before the procedure, since the carving composition can wash out the coloring pigment and the dyeing will have to be repeated. For girls with thick highlights, this procedure is not recommended, since due to the different structure of the hair, it will not be possible to create a uniform texture over the entire surface of the head.
It is forbidden to do carving if your hair is too dry, brittle or actively falling out. In this case, it is necessary to first restore the health of the hair, and only then expose it to chemical compounds. Otherwise, you may be left without hair at all.
But for those with oily hair, carving will only bring benefits, since the substances used for this procedure have a drying effect.
It is better to do carving for the first time under the supervision of a professional, so as not to be disappointed with the result. But, if you still decide to carry out this procedure yourself or with the help of a faithful friend, you will need the following “artifacts”: a composition for carving (from Schwarzkoph, Londastyle, etc.), a means for fixing volume (from the same company as the composition for carving), curlers of the desired size, plastic cap, gloves, non-metallic comb.
Now let's move on to the carving process:
It is better to avoid using a hair dryer for the next week after the procedure. You can wash your hair on the day of the perm, but it is recommended to radically change your hair color no earlier than three days later. However, you can refresh the shade using ammonia-free dyes directly on the day of carving.
Before the procedure, it is advisable to consult with a professional who will tell you which carving composition is best suited for your hair and assess the condition of your hair.
Despite all the benefits of carving, it cannot be called a beneficial procedure for hair. The hairstyle is susceptible to chemical attack, as a result of which it becomes drier and more porous. Therefore, after carving, get ready to revive your curls with the help of nourishing hair masks.
Carving is contraindicated for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding, since exposure to chemicals can negatively affect the health of both mother and baby.
In addition, you shouldn’t flatter yourself with the hope that carving will save you from daily hair styling. Curly curls after eight hours of contact with a pillow can form a kind of nest on the head overnight. Therefore, you will have to spend a few minutes to bring them into divine form.
