The first time I did a biowave was in 2012. I have thick hair, but the hair itself is thin, light. Therefore, various styling and hairstyles hold very well. But to straighten them, so that there was a hair to a hair, it never worked out, part of the strands curled and it turned out “neither this nor that”. Yes, and straight hair does not suit me at all, so almost all the time I wound it on spiral-shaped thermo curlers. The matter, of course, is tedious and of little use for the hair.
It took me a long time to decide on a biowave. Still, curiosity overcame doubts. I went to the hairdresser near the house to the master, who constantly cut her hair. The cost of the procedure was only 1000 rubles. It's a long process, but the effect surprised me. The curls looked natural, as if they were their own. The smell of chemicals lingered for a long time, then dry hair stopped smelling, but wet hair continued. The perm lasted for half a year, then gradually the hair began to straighten, and the border of the transition of regrown straight hair to wavy was imperceptible. But now, already taking into account experience, I realized that that master did not do everything right, the composition was very doubtful, although for such a price, one could expect something similar. Well, she didn’t explain how to take care of them at all.
As a result, on the recommendation of a friend, I switched to another master, in another beauty salon. I immediately assessed the level of the master, by how long she cut my hair, as a result - hair to hair, the bangs are simply amazing, I could not even style it, she herself lay as it should. As a result, it was decided to do a biowave here. The cost is 2700 rubles. And now, for the 4th year I have been doing a biowave. According to the following scheme: once every 2 years - curling the hair along the entire length, and in the interval, once every 6-8 months, biowave only regrown roots. So the hair gets less damage.
The curling procedure took 2-2.5 hours and consisted of the following steps:
Preparatory:
Do not dye your hair for 2-3 weeks, and even better a month before the biowave. It will be problematic to make a perm on freshly dyed hair.
This is what my hair looked like 8 months after the last one basal biochemistry (at the end of the review there will be a photo with the condition of the hair six months after the biowave along the entire length)
Biowave process:
- First, they washed my hair with a special shampoo.
- Winding hair on bobbins. For me, the master picked the largest ones. 30 minutes. For owners of bangs, advice: do not wind the bangs, otherwise then it will just be a torment to straighten it.
- Application of a special composition. A roll of towel was wrapped around my forehead so that the composition would not get on my face. The procedure is notable for its unpleasant pungent odor. But what to do. It only lasts 5-10 minutes.
- Then comes the agonizing wait. 30 minutes. The master periodically approached, removed the bobbin and evaluated the curl. If everything is fine, then next, go to the sink.
- Application to the fixing agent and again waiting for 10-15 minutes.
- Washing off the composition. First, right in the bobbins. Then the bobbins were removed, and the hair was washed several times with shampoo, then with balm.
- Dry your hair gently with a towel.
- I applied foam for curly hair and dried it a little with a diffuser, but not completely. I ran home in a handkerchief to let my hair dry naturally.
The result is beauty!
The final stage:
Do not wash your hair for 2-3 days after chemo, and do not wear any metal hairpins during this time
After 2-3 weeks, you need to come for a haircut. As the master explained to me, why it is necessary to cut your hair not before or during, but after the biowave. During the application of the composition, most of all "goes" to the ends of the hair. 2-3 weeks after the procedure, the master assesses the condition of the hair, and recommends how many centimeters the tips need to be removed. I usually have it 2-3 cm. Therefore, I expect 2 months to pass after the last haircut before biochemistry, then I do chemistry and after 3 weeks I already remove the dry tips.
The chemical smell lasts until the first shampoo.
In order for the biowave to look good, you need to follow a few simple rules for caring for it.
- First, you can forget about hair brushes and combs with frequent teeth. Now the main tool is a comb with rare teeth.
- Shampoo, no matter what.
- Most importantly, be sure to use a conditioner or conditioner, the choice of which should be approached very responsibly. I like the Shiseido Tsubaki damage care conditioner the most. The pleasure is not cheap, but I have enough of it for a long time and from time to time in Letual you can buy it at a discounted price.
- Hairdryer is better not to use. It is best to let your hair dry naturally. I only use the blow dryer to style my bangs. A little lower I will write how to dry your hair with a hairdryer, if you really need to dry quickly, and quickly get rid of the nix.
- After shampooing, apply foam to damp hair to form curls. Why is it needed. So that the hair is not disheveled, not fluffy, and there is no mess on the head and the curls keep their shape. Apply a little on the palms of your hands and, starting from the ends, squeeze the hair, forming curls. When the hair is dry, visually after the foam there will be a “wet hair effect”. Here is how you like it. Since I prefer the natural look, I simply comb my hair again after drying with a comb or simply with my hands. So the strands glued with foam will fall apart, but then they will again gather into natural curls.
I always use only one tool: Estel Professional always on-line curling foam.
Hair after curling can be washed much less frequently, literally 1-2 times a week.
As for daily care. What to do after washing your hair, I have already told.
Now for the morning exercise every day. From practice, I can say that you wake up, go to the mirror - the view is rather rumpled, especially if you go to bed with wet hair.
What to do to give the original look. To begin with, simply comb through with a comb. Next, you need to slightly wet the hair with your hands along the entire length, the roots are not necessary. There is no need to apply foam either, because it remains on the hair until the next shampoo. Squeeze the hair with your hands, you can apply a hair spray. I used to use pantene pro-v intensive repair spray, but it ran out quickly and is expensive. In principle, any spray will do, I chose Shamptu. For dry ends before the first haircut after biochem, I sometimes apply Kharizma Voltage Moisturizing Serum. So, it turns out again the effect of wet hair. After such a procedure, the hair dries out in 15-20 minutes, this is just the time to get dressed, have breakfast in the morning. Then I comb it again with my hands and it's done. Shiny, lively, natural curls. It takes 5-10 minutes to do this. By the way, I took an example from a friend who has naturally curly hair. She always brushes them with just her hands and water.
What to do if you urgently need to wash your hair and immediately run outside. How to dry. Option 2, just a hair dryer or a hair dryer with a diffuser. In any case, the curls will be disheveled. Then you need, as I wrote above, apply a hair spray or moisten a little with water and squeeze your hands. So the curls will quickly acquire the desired shape.
Photo where I just wet my hair with my hands. I washed my hair 3 days ago - the foam still works.
Summing up:
Hair biowave is by no means a useful procedure. Hair becomes drier. Therefore, in order to avoid a “panicle” on the head and complete chaos, you need to take care of them more carefully. Still I can advise sometimes to do or make masks with oils. The internet is full of recipes.
How long a perm lasts depends on the type of hair. My hair grows faster at the roots than curls straighten out. Therefore, I do basal biochemistry once every 6-7 months, and once every 2 years - along the entire length.
To avoid problems, you need to find a good master. By reviews or through friends.
In general, biowave makes life much easier for lovers of curls. You just need to follow a few simple rules and you are guaranteed a romantic look.
The best part is that no one even guesses that this is a biowave, they think that their
small addition
By the way, here is a photo of the state of the hair 6 months after biowave along the entire length:
It can be seen that the hair has grown back, but still the border is not so noticeable.
Now about mousse for curls.
Got2be by Shwarzkopf "Trap Double Torque"
Volume 250 ml
The price in the Perekrestok supermarket is 363 rubles.
Perfectly fixes curls.
Airex Estel Professional
The volume is much larger than the previous bottles - as much as 400 ml!
I ordered through the online store for 420 rubles
I also really liked it, the result is excellent. But, since the bottle is very large, you can’t take it on a trip. So I have Estel only for home use, and Got2be for business trips and vacations.
And still I liked Got2be the most.

Biowave hair during pregnancy
Doctors say that pregnancy is not a disease. And that you should not give up the usual cosmetic procedures. Of course, you should not dye your hair and cover your nails with gel polish every day. But nobody does that. Biowave, which is done every few months, also does not apply to a procedure that can harm the baby. But due to changes in the hormonal background of the mother, it may simply not work out. There is a risk that the hair will remain straight.
I spent a lot of time trying to find information on the Internet whether it is worth doing a perm in an interesting position or not. And after all ahead holiday. And I decided to take a chance.
And what can I say - everything is 100% individual. When I came for the procedure, my deadline was 3 months. Six months have passed, and the curls are in place, only the roots have grown already.
There is no such thing as too much beauty. Eyelash extensions will be beautifully combined with curls: "Eyelash extensions are very beautiful and convenient! BUT it is addictive! Eyelash extensions during pregnancy."
Many girls who naturally have thin, devoid of volume hair periodically do a biowave. The question arises: in order to maintain healthy hair after biowave - how to style and care for curls correctly? The article provides practical recommendations that will help you maintain the health and beauty of your hair after exposure to a perm that changes the structure of your hair.
How safe is biowave?
Biowave differs from classical chemistry by the use of more gentle preparations. The basis of such funds is cystiamine. This component is similar to the protein found in human hair. Due to the presence of this substance, the drugs used act on the internal structure of the hair without damaging it. These products contain vitamin complexes, amino acids, plant extracts. Due to the presence of useful nutrients, hair care and restoration is provided.
Despite the delicate effect and the ability to restore the damaged structure of the hair, after applying the perm preparation, the hair needs special care. Even when using sparing preparations, the curling procedure itself is stressful for the strands. Therefore, to maintain the health and beauty of curls, you must follow certain rules.
How to care for hair after biowave - basic rules
There is a set of rules that will help you effortlessly maintain healthy hair and keep curls for a long time. During the first 48 hours after curling, you can not:
- wash your hair;
- use styling products;
- dry curls with a hairdryer;
- use an iron or any other styling devices that involve exposure to high temperatures;
- do tight hairstyles that deform curls.
During this time, the shape of the curls is fixed. Any of the above actions can damage the curls, deform them and thereby spoil the appearance of the hairstyle.
How to take care of biowave hair so that the strands retain their shine, are soft and silky, and the curls keep their shape for a long time? Follow these rules:
- Use specialized hair products after curling.
- Regularly make masks to restore and strengthen hair.
- Do not comb wet curls.
- Don't go to bed with wet curls.
- It is better to dry the strands naturally. If necessary, you can use a diffuser.
- Use a wooden or plastic comb with sparse teeth. Do not use metal combs.
- Try to avoid tight ponytails and other hairstyles that can deform curls as much as possible.
- On hot summer days, apply UV protection sprays to your curls to prevent the negative effects of ultraviolet rays on your hair.
- If the ends begin to split, they need to be cut off.
In order for the biowave to provide a lasting effect, it is recommended to start making masks and other restorative procedures only 10 days after the curl. During this time, the curls will finally form and become resistant to deformation.
Specialized shampoos for hair after curling - what is their peculiarity?
For washing curls, it is best to use shampoos from the line of professional cosmetics for hair that has undergone a curling procedure. Also for washing, you can use shampoos designed for damaged and weakened hair. Unlike conventional products, specialized shampoos contain vitamin complexes, minerals, natural silk proteins and various plant extracts. They contain moisturizing ingredients. These shampoos are based on mild surfactants.
When choosing a shampoo, pay attention to the composition. It should not contain a large amount of oils, silicones and keratin. These components thicken and weight the hair, pulling it back and helping to quickly straighten curls.
Hair restoration after biowave
Despite the fact that the curling preparations used have a gentle effect, subsequently the curls still need to strengthen and restore their structure. The most effective way to keep strands healthy, improve their condition and restore shine is to make masks regularly (1-2 times a week). Such products should contain plant extracts and oils. Fast recovery is facilitated by:
- Burr oil;
- olive;
- coconut.
For recovery, you can also prepare masks at home. For example, the use of egg white will be effective. When applied to curls, the protein fills the porosity, returning the integral structure. Especially such a mask will be useful if you have permed dyed or highlighted strands.
When choosing ready-made masks, pay attention to the composition. It is important that they contain keratin, as it is the main building block of hair.
Hair styling after biowaving must also be carried out in compliance with certain rules. Since curls quickly straighten out from exposure to high temperatures, try to use a hair dryer or other devices for styling curls as little as possible.
Use products designed for curly strands. Choose varnishes, mousses with a low degree of fixation, as such preparations provide a more natural look to the curls.
The easiest and safest styling option for curls is as follows. Apply a styling product to wet curls and wait until the hair dries naturally.
If you want to make curls clear and expressive, wind your hair with curlers. To give your hair even more volume, you can use a diffuser. For temporary straightening, use an iron. But do not use it more than once a week. Otherwise, the curls will quickly straighten.
Hair care after biowaving does not involve any complex procedures and does not take much time. It is only important to choose the right means for washing and strengthening curls and follow the above recommendations. In this case, you will always be satisfied with the condition and appearance of the hair.
Many girls and women are trying to change something in themselves. And often experiments begin with hair. It has been noticed that girls with curls dream of perfectly straight hair, and their owners, in turn, want to get perfect curls. And if for the first it is enough to purchase a good straightening iron, then for the second there is another solution - bio hair curling.
Bio perm or biological hair curling is a special procedure that turns your straight hair into curls. You can make it in almost any hairdressing salon, but we advise you to choose a good professional master.
This should be approached with all seriousness, since the result of a bio-wave depends on the hairdresser.
What is this procedure?
Stage 1
To begin with, the master carefully determines in order to select a special tool for them.
It usually comes in several forms:
1. For natural hair
2. For hair that has already undergone chemical treatment
3. For hair that is difficult to curl
Stage 2
Having chosen a remedy, the hairdresser winds the hair into bobbins. It should be noted that small curls will last longer on the hair than large and wavy curls.
Stage 3
The master spins the hair, removes the bobbin and applies a special equalizer to the hair, which is used after the bio-waving procedure. Thanks to him, the hair is polished and then shiny. It goes well with the bio-waving procedure.
Pros and cons of the procedure
pros such a biological wave is that, unlike a perm, it is more gentle on the hair. The basis contains a biological protein, which makes the hair look better, the structure and appearance itself improve. The bio-perm procedure is enough for six months, and all this time the hair looks soft, strong and shiny.
Minuses are that the procedure is more expensive than a conventional perm. But saving on it is highly discouraged, the consequences can be sad. Therefore, do a bio-perm in a good hairdresser. And one more thing: after the procedure, you need to wash your hair with a special shampoo for curly hair in order to maintain the result, then you need to use conditioner, and several times a week - a hair mask, preferably moisturizing.
Styling rules after bio-curling
Style your hair with a blow dryer, foams and gels. If you want to be with straight hair again, after the next wash, you need to straighten your hair with a hairdryer and a round comb.
Having made a bio-perm, you will not regret it. It does not greatly injure the hair, while allowing you to show off luxurious curly hair!
Curly curls suit all face shapes, visually refresh the image and give it romance. Biowave hair allows with the help of one procedure to achieve a long-lasting effect of curly strands and forget about the difficulties of styling for at least six months.
What is hair biowave
Biowave- a modern hair curling technique that does not use harsh chemical components. The procedure is carried out using special formulations, in which about 60% of the components are natural. Of course, it cannot be said that a biological waving agent consists entirely of natural ingredients, but the percentage of synthetic additives in them is much less than in a perm.
The main ingredient in almost all curling products is cysteamine. It is a synthetic acid similar to cysteine. It is necessary to remove excess sulfur and improve their structure. It is this compound that gives the curls an unpleasant odor after the procedure, but at the same time it also helps to improve their condition.
Advantages of biowave:
- relative security. Of course, this procedure cannot be called completely harmless, but the hair suffers less from perm with biologically active components than from regular styling with a curling iron or iron;
- Curls can be straightened. If you get tired of walking all the time with one styling, then the curls can simply be smoothed out with a straightener. Unlike a perm, after which the strands look like tow, the biological effect does not spoil the structure. After subsequent washing, the curls will return to their curled shape;
- Any means for the procedure somewhat dry the skin at the roots. For owners of dry hair - this is a minus, but for girls with combined or oily curls - a significant plus. Because of this, they will become much less dirty, sebaceous roots, even after 5 days, will be almost invisible;
- Long lasting effect. If you provide proper care, then the result of the perm will please at least six months. Further, as the curls grow, it will be possible to repeat the procedure;
- After such a perm, you can paint the roots and length. After chemistry, no effect on the strands is recommended at all, especially in the root zone. But what then should girls do who regularly tint their growing roots? The biological composition of waving products solved this problem.
Despite all the advantages, the procedure also has some disadvantages.
Disadvantages of biowave:
- Despite the naturalness, nevertheless, harm is done. The procedure is not suitable for everyone, some girls note that even with proper care, they begin to have a massive section of the tips and loss of strands;
- The only way to completely get rid of the effect of biowave is to cut your hair. The measures are radical but effective. It is impossible to completely straighten damaged hair even a year after curling. If you are tired of growing tangles - just cut them off;
- This technology spoils the hair structure. They can become porous or start to fluff a lot;
- The procedure is not recommended during pregnancy due to the possibility of harm to the fetus;
- A few weeks after curling, an unpleasant smell will come from the head (wet wool, socks - as it seems to anyone). It is practically impossible to remove it. Neither professional shampoos nor rosemary decoctions help. It should just take some time to completely wash out the cysteamine from the curls;
- The strands will require special restoration. Without it, after a month of regular drying with a hair dryer, they will become like a lump of stray hairs;
- The procedure has contraindications. Biological waving is not carried out with breastfeeding, the presence of inflammatory processes in the body, any diseases of the scalp, open wounds or scratches at the treatment sites.
Types of biowave
Beauty salons use various means for biowave. According to their active composition, the procedure is classified.
- silk waving. The composition of the products includes silk proteins that restore shine and elasticity. The procedure is characterized by a soft effect, therefore it is recommended for girls with dyed or bleached strands. It is also used to correct perm;
- Japanese biowave includes not only essential amino acids, but also protein shakes. Most often it is a mixture of collagen with artificial ingredients. It is used if the strands are thick and long, because it is known for its "stiffness". The effect lasts for at least 5 months, after which a correction is required;
- Italian biowave Mossa (Mossa), like acid, allows you to get beautiful elastic curls of strong fixation. It is mainly used on short hair, but this technique is also suitable for bob and cascade haircuts. As a result, it turns out small curls, similar to African curls.
Curling is also classified according to the length for which it is performed.
Light large curls or luxurious Hollywood curls can add chic to any look. This hairstyle design is ideal for short hair with a bob haircut and owners of a mane to the waist. The main difference between this technique and others is the use of Japanese-made medium fixation protein mixtures.
How is a biowave on large curls:
The resulting wavy strands for the first three days cannot be washed, braided and pulled with elastic bands. This is necessary in order for the fixative mixture to complete its action.
Biowave for short hair
If you do not want to become the owner of large curls, then you can make small curls on short hair. They stay on the head much longer and help make “liquid” hair more voluminous. For this, special papillots and means of strong fixation, mainly made in Italy, are used.
How is a biowave for short hair with bangs:
Biowave for long and medium hair
As many reviews say, straight long hair biowave is the most difficult and time-consuming of all the procedures listed. Due to the severity of their root zone is too close to the scalp, which affects the volume of the hairstyle. Even if you use strong fixation means, the curls will quickly fall down.
To prevent this from happening, experts recommend working with Japanese compositions on long strands. They gently affect the hair, curling it into the desired shape, but without overloading it with synthetic substances. In the future, with natural smoothing, the transition between the curled part and the regrown part becomes less obvious.
The whole technology is similar to curling into large and small curls on short and medium hair.
But there are some secrets that only masters use professional beauty salons:
- Bleached and colored hair lends itself better to curling, but they need a soft touch. For optimal effect, use a protein mixture or products with algae additives;
- The procedure is not carried out on extended curls, because the reaction of the resin or the glue used under the influence of the activator is unpredictable. The adhesive may fall off or, conversely, become indelible;
- For long strands, it is best to use curlers with a diameter of 1.5 or more. So the curls will turn out as natural as possible.

How to make a biowave at home
It is no secret that this procedure is expensive. For shoulder-length hair, you will have to pay a minimum of $50. But if you buy a curling kit and conduct a session yourself, then the investment will be minimal.
Step-by-step instructions on how to make a biowave at home with your own hands:
Required Funds
For work, you will need kits for biowave hair, shampoo, balm or masks to restore the lock, as well as oil for the tips. In order for the result to please you for a long time, and also for the hair to be minimally dry, it is important to choose the right curling agent. Consider a list of the most popular:
Bio Permanent Niagara by Estel (Niagara Estel)- half synthetic composition with many advantages. It suits difficult to curl hair, naughty strands, the owner of thick hair. It belongs to the products of strong fixation, but it can be used on both short and long curls. The active ingredient is cysteamine and vitamin B5.
Biowave is an effective medium-degree fixation product. The fixer here is also loaded with cysteamine, but enriched with seaweed and mineral compounds. Good for curling colored strands.
- the composition does not enjoy the special love of consumers. Despite the name, the product contains aggressive compounds that are very harmful to the hair (ammonia derivatives).
How long does a biowave last
Helpful Hints:
- It will not be possible to quickly restore hair, so the regeneration process is carried out gradually. The first week you can not do any deep-acting masks, but on the second you can already add a small amount of silicone mixtures when washing curls;
- Try to wash your hair only in the bathroom - when washing vertically, the curls stretch out and it will be more difficult for them to return to shape during drying;
- Of course, the most difficult thing is to comb the curls. To make this process easier, use a wide-toothed comb and balm. You can also wash the spins with colorless henna once a week;
- Use special products for damaged or colored hair. There are a lot of these in the lines of Schwarzkopf, Garnier and others;
- Don't let curls dry on their own. When drying with a diffuser, sort of lift the curls - then they will be elastic and voluminous, like springs.
After the passage of 6 months, lamination or a professional keratin mask will help to finally restore the curls. These measures will finally align the strands. For correction, you can curl at home on curlers, repeat the procedure or do carving.
Photos before and after
Owners of curly hair are very comfortable in everyday life: you do not need to spend a lot of time styling or be afraid of humid air. In addition, curly curls look more feminine than perfectly straight ones. To make sure - just look at the photo before and after biowave.
