Women since ancient Egypt have been looking for ways to create long-lasting curls. In the Middle Ages, curls were worn by men, and in Soviet times, curly heads filled the city streets after chemical curls.
Even today, the beautiful half of humanity does not stop in its search, however, modern ladies have little to receive a cloud of curls, they want the procedure to be safe and even beneficial for the hair.
Biowave for you if you are dreaming about a cloud of soft curls, basal volume, or simply tired of daily styling
Biowave - the secrets of popularity
Before you make a biowave at home, let's see what the procedure differs from the classic perm.
The main difference from Khimki hair is the replacement of ammonia with a natural component of cysteine, which is a structural element of hair and nails. It is thanks to him biowave very carefully refers to the hair.
In addition, biowave formulations are developed taking into account the type of hair and their condition. Individuality and naturalness - these are the main secrets of popularity!
The development of formulations without ammonia and thioglycolic acid was a real breakthrough in the world of permanent curls and curls
The choice of composition
How effective the DIY procedure will be depends on the quality of the materials used. We offer you a rating of the best compositions for biowave:
- "Cloud veil" (Japan) contains collagen, raffinose, yeast extract, tea leaf extracts, wheat protein, lecithin, Н-Т silk and ceramide complex.
- PAUL MITCHELL (USA) - Bamboo extract, vitamin C, PP, beta-carotene are included. A significant advantage is that the tool does not change the color of the hair and their structure, so there is no sharp transition during growth.
PAUL MITCHELL presented several types of biowave for different hair types.
- STEALTH Professionals dubbed the future biowave. The complex includes keratin, restoring the internal structures of the hair, silicon-cystine, betaine, ceramides, wheat proteins.
- "Angel Curls" Recommended for bleached and bleached hair. The basis of the tool based on botanical extracts, reducing complex PBBS, structural amino acids.
- TWISTY - a biowave based on cysteine, obtained from sheep's wool protein, in addition, the manufacturer carefully fitted a complex of bamboo extract and silk proteins into the composition.
MOSSA - Italian permanent waving technology, which can rightly be called one of the most popular in the world (price - from 4800 rubles.)
- ISO Option - the patented technology of safe perm based on ISOamine, which by its chemical properties resembles natural hair cysteine.
- MOSSA - Italian permanent waving technology, which has no restrictions on the type of hair. The delicate formula without thioglycolic acid and ammonia allows you to use the composition on bleached, dyed and even gray hair.
- CHI Permanent Waves or Silk Wave - one of the few compounds that can be used by pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Note! Often such a procedure as carving is carried out into a separate category of curls. However, it is fair to note that it is the same biowave, and it deserved a separate name due to the fact that one of the first was developed by the cosmetics giant Schwarzkopf.
Tools and materials
- a set of products for curling (shampoo for deep cleaning, curling composition, conditioner equalizer, neutralizer),
- plastic or wooden bobbins of the required diameter,
- medium foam sponges (2 pcs.)
- plastic, ceramic or glassware,
- plastic comb,
- latex gloves
- towel,
- shower cap,
- cape on the shoulders.
The sequence of biowave
Note! Before embarking on a procedure, perform an allergy test, for this a small amount of the product is applied behind the ear or on the wrist. If after a quarter of an hour you have not found signs of allergy in the form of itching, redness and discomfort, you can safely take up the curl.
Step-by-step instructions for hair biowaving at home begin with the use of deep cleaning shampoo, for example, Deep Cleaning Shampoo from Concept
Thoroughly wash your hair with shampoo for deep cleaning, which not only effectively removes impurities, but also raises the hair scales, thereby facilitating the penetration of the chemical composition.
- Lightly blot your hair with a towel and apply a small amount of chemical composition.
- Separate the entire mass of hair with partitions on the occipital, frontal parietal, temporal, lateral and parietal zones.
- Separate the strands in each zone so that they are not wider and thicker than the bobbin selected.
- All strands must be wound in the same direction (vertically or horizontally) with the same tension from the roots.
Biowave hair at home requires you to follow the instructions and control the tension of the hair when winding the bobbins
- After completing the spinning with the winding, arm with a chemical composition and foam sponge, thoroughly moisten the hair so that the liquid drains from the bobbins.
- Wear a shower cap.
- If you have never curled your hair before, check the effects of the compound after 15 minutes. To do this, unwind one bobbin in the parietal zone and compare the result (shape and curl density) with the size of the curlers. If the strand does not retain its shape, and the waves do not have the desired diameter, wrap the strand and repeat the check in 5-7 minutes.
In the photo - the process of removing the bobbins and washing the hair
- Having obtained the desired result, wash the strands without unwinding the bobbins.
- Apply 1/4 of neutralizer and leave for a quarter of an hour.
- As gently as possible unwind the bobbins and apply the remaining neutralizer.
- After 5-7 minutes, rinse hair with water and apply an indelible conditioning composition.
Composition and benefits
The main difference of biowave from simple chemistry is a sparing composition. It cannot be said that it is beneficial, but the damage is minimal and their consequences are quickly eliminated.
The composition of the drug Paul Mitchell includes bamboo extract, cysteamine hydrochloride, vitamin C, beta-carotene. Cystamine hydrochloride is an analogue of cystine, a natural substance that causes curls to curl. There is no hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, so the effect is soft and delicate.
Advantages of Paul Mitchell biowave:
- there is no clear boundary between curled and growing hair,
- curls look natural
- color is preserved
- the structure changes without being damaged: the hair is silky, it does not pull much.
Attention! An important advantage of Paul Mitchell biowave is that the composition is selected individually for each type of hair.
The biowave service that is offered in the salon will not necessarily be of higher quality, but it will definitely be more expensive. Prices for Paul Mitchell biowave in beauty salons range from 3,500 rubles to infinity. Especially expensive service will cost owners of thick, long, thick hair.
The composition for home-made curling can be ordered on average for 2500 rubles. When using the composition at home, do not allow it to get into the eyes, on the skin.
Contraindications
Contraindications to transfiguration:
- it is impossible to make a biowave immediately after dyeing, as the composition can wash off the paint,
- it is better not to do the perm if the tips are badly damaged, split, they should be trimmed first,
- allergic to components of the composition,
- pregnancy,
- you should not do in the period of menstruation, the result may be worse than expected,
- when taking potent drugs, any disease should first consult with a doctor,
- after dyeing with such natural dyes as henna and basma, the result can be unpredictable.
Home biowave: tools, materials
Tools for biowave Paul Mitchell are of three types. Each type of composition is provided for its own hair type:
- for dense and graying - alkaline type,
- for normal, dry and stained - exothermic,
- for the clarified and thin - acid.
Individual approach to the choice of composition allows you to make the result predictable and pleasing to the eye.
What is required to complete the curling at home:
- Paul Mitchell drugs in the complex: deep cleansing shampoo, composition for curling, conditioner and neutralizer,
- bobbins (you can buy in the store of professional tools),
- 2 sponges,
- utensils are not made of metal
- comb (also non-metallic),
- disposable gloves and cap,
- cape,
- towels that don't mind
- brush or plastic spoon.
Stages of the procedure
The whole process is divided into three stages: preparation, the actual process of curling and the final stage.
The duration of the procedure is 1.5-2 hours.
Stage 1: preparation
If the procedure takes place in the salon, it is undesirable to wash the hair in front of it, since the first stage is just a thorough cleansing of dirt with a special shampoo. Shampoo for deep cleaning improves the transportation of the drug to the hair, as it lifts its scales.
Stage 2: biowave
- After shampooing, slightly dry the future curls with a towel, blotting them along the entire length.
- Apply the compound (a little).
- Spread the hair into 8-10 pieces with a thin comb for partings.
- Separate the strands in each zone in turn.
- Twist the strands on the bobbins in the same way (so that all the curls are the same).
- Using sponges, apply a large amount of the composition to thoroughly saturate the strands.
- Secure all this with a shower cap.
- Wait 15 minutes, check one strand for durability and curl lines, if everything suits you, wash, if not, turn it back and wait another 5-10 minutes.
Important! Each strand should have a width not larger than your bobbin. The tension should be uniform. How to wind the hair on the curler, read on our website.
Stage 3: Completion
- Rinse the curls with the bobbins on them.
- Use a quarter of neutralizing drug for 15 minutes.
- Gently release the hair.
- Apply a residue of neutralizing agent for 5-7 minutes.
- Wash and use conditioner, it is not necessary to wash it away.
Effect duration
Paul Mitchell biowave is temporary: the effect gradually fades away and curls return to their natural state. The time during which the hair will be curled, individually, but not less than 3 months. In some cases, the effect of biowave lasts up to 6 months.
Durability of biowave on initially curly hair is higher than on straight and can last even a whole year. Also biowave is better to keep light, normal and dry hair than heavy, thick, prone to fat: they straighten faster because of its own weight.
Aftermath and care
The first two days after the biowave procedure can not be washed and dry the head. During this time, it will not be superfluous to pick up new care products: products with creamy texture, keratin and oils in the composition will work well.
Care is required enhanced: after all, hair has been damaged and may be a little drier than it was before. Owners of the fat type will only be on hand, while the rest should take a closer look at the means that nourish and moisturize the hair.
Drying a hairdryer after curling is also best avoided, especially since styling will be easy without it. As for straightening with an iron, it can be done only as a last resort, if you want straight hair for one evening.
Note, unnecessary injury to the hair with a biowave to anything, so it is better not to comb them once again, not to tighten them with rubber bands. It is possible to paint curls not earlier than in 3 weeks. On other features of hair care after biowave, read on our website.
Advantages and disadvantages

- gives hair volume and sensation of density,
- suitable for hair of any type
- easy to lay,
- looks great on photos

Alternative ways to curl hair:

- hairstyles with curled hair, ironing

- perm hair: types, features of implementation.
Many experienced hairdressers remember a surge in the extraordinary popularity of perm at the end of the last century. This could be explained not only by the desire of the beautiful half of humanity to be irresistible, but also by the fact that at last a relatively harmless product appeared on the professional hairdressing market that could change the structure of the hair.
Of course, today, when the attitude towards professional products for beauty salons has become more demanding, the sparing properties of the revolutionary products of those years seem rather doubtful. The task of developing a hair curler is to make the hair structure change. Without destruction of disulfide and intermolecular hydrogen bonds inside the hair, this is practically impossible to do. First, the bonds are destroyed, then they are created artificially with the help of chemicals.
So how bad is it?
The point is not only how harmful the product is for curling hair, but also in the competent selection of products that fit the hair of a particular client. The adaptive capabilities of hair to aggressive external effects for each type of hair and for each person are completely different. Sometimes strong, healthy hair can, without prejudice, endure a powerful alkaline effect, which causes the hair to open flakes, and the problems of thin, splitting hair can be aggravated by lighter acid biowave hair, which does not cause the scales to open.
In each specific situation, everything depends on the qualifications of the master: with the observance of technology, biowave capabilities, even in the most difficult cases, make it possible not to upset the delicate balance of the health of hair and to preserve their smoothness and shine.
Today, many cosmetic brands produce products for chemical waving with the "bio" sign. This does not mean that such products automatically become useful for the hair and can be used as an additional means to restore the hair structure. The formula "bio" means only that traditional active ingredients in hair curling, such as thioglycolic acid or ammonia, are replaced by sulphide or natural urea.
The product of the most advanced technology is a bio-perm based on cysteamine hydrochloride, an analogue of natural cystine. But that's not all.Some companies produce different types of cysteamine-based bio-wave products designed for a specific hair type. These products have, in particular, the company Paul Mitchell line TEXTURE. The active component of bio-perm is a derivative of the amino acid constituting hair keratin (its constituent part).
This is the first biowave in the world that restructures hair without damaging it!
Three types of hair biowave products are available:
- alkaline - for thick, gray hair
- exothermic - for normal, dry and dyed hair
- acidic - for blond and thin hair
The composition of each product includes special activating mixtures of different types of oils, vitamins, phytoextracts. Thanks to these additional components is achieved:
- the effects of interference with the structure are neutralized
- hair becomes pleasant to the touch
- hair is easy to comb, not to push and for a long time keep the conditioning effect
- the advantageous difference of these means is the sparing time mode of exposure - from 8 to 15 minutes
In order for the perm to look luxurious, and the curl (or curl) to be crisp, vibrant and elastic, the condition of the ends of the hair is very important. If the tips of the hair are cut, damaged or very dry, then the appearance of the curling will be unpresentable and untidy, and the curl or curl will not form correctly. Therefore, it is very important to “refresh” the ends of the hair, if they are damaged, and to keep them in a healthy state after curling regularly.
Master stylists of our beauty salons will definitely warn their clients that they must stop using silicone shampoos in advance (at least one month), and you should not wash or even wet your hair for two days after curling and use a hairdryer. After the procedure (at least 3-5 days), the use of shampoos and conditioners with a high degree of moisture, which can be purchased in our store, is recommended. And only in the case of professional application of biowave products, an impeccable result is guaranteed - curls that will delight customers for six months!
Prices for bio-perm services are listed below. The final price of work and the result is determined by visiting the salon and free consultation with our colorists and technologists. A preliminary assessment can be made on the basis of photos sent by you (at least 3 angles) and the wishes of the final result. We are waiting in Direct Instagram @pmsalon or WhatsApp salon. We will answer you for sure!

Biowave Paul Mitchell texture
I made a biowave twice, my hair is soft, I burned my hair both times, I don’t remember the first part, and the second curl was from Estelle. I do not know how I decided to curl again, but thank God this time the outcome was positive. I know that any bio and other long-term perm spoils the hair and PAUL MITCHELL is no exception. Those. when you go to the procedure, you must remember that the hair will need special, I would say not cheap care.
After the procedure, the hair remained in a more or less acceptable condition, the shine remained, but anyway the hair became dry, the tips had to be cut off by 3 cm, despite the fact that before the procedure. hair was in good condition, not split.
For three days I went with the effect of wet hair, did it without asking me, so it was difficult to assess the condition of the hair immediately after the procedure. Until I decided on a care plan, I honestly was disappointed with the result, because without the effect of wet hair, nothing acceptable on my head did not work, the hair did not fit well, looked like a sponge, despite the fact that it remained shiny. I tried a bunch of mousses and other styling products, I didn't like anything. Like, just curly hair, shiny and light.
In one of the good stores, the consultants advised me Japanese MoltoBene hair shampoo and mask from the Requnia series (I spent 1700 rubles on shampoo and mask). I took the mask at number 3, it is for the most neglected cases. Japanese cosmetics was pleased. It acts gradually, the hair every time better and better! At first I didn’t understand the joke, but now I’ll probably use only this makeup. The composition is just wonderful, I have not seen such compositions yet. Her hair became soft, glistening, beauty, as if she didn’t do chemistry.
Once on YouTube you saw a curly girl styling her hair with Loreal ELSEVE EXTRAORDINARY oil, bought a bottle and was very pleased. Hair has become even better, no fluffiness, the effect of wet or dirty hair. The question of laying decided) _
Now I use only Japanese shampoo and mask, and I do the styling with oil Loreal-hair is cool! No more than the cosmetics for hair do not use. The hair is dry either naturally or with a hair dryer with a diffuser. With a diffuser, the styling is better. Sorry for the money thrown away on the rest of the garbage for styling, it is worth collecting dust.
I think that I will continue to do this perm, it certainly spoils the hair, but with good care, it is fixable.
Life after biowave
For drying and styling, use a nozzle-diffuser and the weakest possible air flow.
Durability and attractiveness of new styling directly depends on the correctness of hair care. So, the simple rules are mandatory:
- Within 48 hours after curling, abandon the idea of washing your hair or using a hair dryer to dry.
- Audit will require the contents of the bathroom shelf, now shampoos, masks and balms for curly hair will become your reliable helpers and colleagues.
- Set aside a massage comb, for combing it is recommended to use a comb with rare teeth.
Be sure to choose the right care, now shampoos, balms and masks must contain a mark "for curly and curled hair"
- For styling it is preferable to use a nozzle-diffuser, which allows you to quickly dry the hair and keep the shape of curls.
- Apply nutritional masks at least 1 time in 7 days.
- Toning, dyeing and highlighting can be carried out only 3 weeks after curling.
The first coloring of the curls can be carried out only after 3 weeks, the same rule applies to highlighting and toning
Undoubtedly, biowave is worthy of attention of those who have long dreamed of curls, and the use of a gentle composition allows you to perform the procedure at home.
