- This technology is not cheap. The price fluctuates in the range of 3000-16000 rubles, depending on the status of the salon, the qualifications of the master, the region, the density of the hair.
- If you are dissatisfied with this procedure, you will have to be patient and wait until the root corrugation straightens over time.
- The lead time depends on the length and thickness of the hair. It takes approximately 3 to 6 hours.
- There is a possibility that the condition of the hair may deteriorate. There is a certain risk, since the technology involves the use of a chemical composition.
- After the boost up, the styling should be neat so that the root corrugation does not appear.
- Crimped hair can get tangled, grow back, lose shine, break.
Advantages and disadvantages exist in approximately the same amount. Therefore, deciding on this not a simple service, you need to weigh everything and take into account. Those who dared to make a biowave will be supported by the following positive points: the hair grows, and next time a new section of the hair will undergo corrugation; frequent use of a hair dryer, curling iron, bouffant is no less harmful than the procedure every six months.
Important! It is absolutely impossible to save money and make a boost up at home due to the lack of special staff and knowledge. You can get a short-term, externally similar result of hair splendor by other means.
How long is the root volume of hair boost up
The boost up procedure is a permanent root corrugation of the hair. The persistence of the effect of thick hair, like from a pile made in a hairdressing salon, is one of its main advantages. Girls with thin thin hair or thick and heavy spend hours in front of the mirror, styling curls, whipping and lifting them at the back of their heads using gels, foams, curling irons or curlers. As a result, after 1-2 hours the effect of labor is reduced to zero - there is no styling. Especially in wet weather or in winter, after wearing a hat for a long time. After performing a boost up for hair, their stunning volume and splendor lasts from 3 to 6 months, in some even up to seven. It depends on different parameters of the hair: condition, density, length. In addition, the professionalism of the master, the quality of the eco-products used are important.
Over time, the strands will grow back, straighten, the composition will be washed out of the hairs without a trace, and it is not forbidden to repeat the biowave more than once. After 2-3 months, you can come to the salon for correction.
During this period, you should continue to care for your hair and perform the usual actions: dyeing, lightening hair roots, toning, milling strands, treating them with keratin, laminating, trimming split ends, making masks. Boost up goes well with these treatments.
In a situation where the client was unhappy with the service provided, she believes that such a hairstyle does not suit her, and decided not to wait six months until the hair straightens naturally, their restoration is paid for with a special composition. The strands will straighten and return to their original appearance after keratin treatment.
Contraindications to the boost up procedure for hair volume
Permanent root curling is recommended for almost all hair types, it is especially suitable for problematic strands - thin, greasy, not thick. But there are exceptions. Going to the salon, you should know what contraindications are.
The hairdresser may refuse the client in the boost up procedure for the following reasons:
- Short hair … The result will be a chic hairstyle or strands sticking out in different directions, like a tousled sparrow. It is better if the hair length is more than 12 cm.
- Bleached hair … Means for biowave are considered soft, non-aggressive, close in composition to keratin. But there is still a risk of harm to hairs already damaged by chemistry.
- Chemical hair straightening … A naturally curly mane is tamed by permanent straightening. The hair structure has already been processed and damaged.
- Highlighting … More than 50% of hair strands are dyed. Lightened and natural strands react in their own way to perm, there may be noticeable differences.
- Dry, brittle hair … The poor condition of the vegetation and skin of the head requires preliminary treatment and restoration.
- Allergy … You should warn the technician about your allergens so that he does a preliminary test on the skin inside the bend of the elbow.
- Pregnancy, lactation, menstruation … Although the biowaving agent is considered harmless, it is worth having patience and not jeopardizing the health of the child, especially since hormonal changes in the body during these periods will still not allow you to get a good, stable curl.
- Taking hormones, antibiotics … At this time, the hairs are especially naughty, and the service provided will not be of high quality.
- Henna or basma staining … The result can be unpredictable. Hair dyed with natural means is very capricious, so either the corrugation will not be fixed, or the strands will behave differently. Hair color may change.
- Malaise, fever, hair loss, stress … The curl may "fail", there is no guarantee that the curl will not fall off too quickly.
- Recent surgery … In the postoperative period, the biowave will not be stable and steep, since preparations containing morphine were used.
The wizard will tell you what preliminary caring procedures should be done for your hair, explain why you should not resort to boost up at the moment, so as not to aggravate her condition. Visit only proven salons, go to the master you trust. It would be nice to observe the result of his work in advance. If the procedure seems cheaper than you thought, do not hesitate to inquire about the certificate for the range of boost up products used by the salon. Important! Biowave is designed for healthy, strong hair. If your curls are weak, fragile, then they will break exactly in the place of corrugation.
How to make boost up for root volume

The composition is applied without touching the scalp and hair, not subject to perm.
- Flushing … After 20-30 minutes (the time is selected individually), the foil is removed, and the hair is washed with water.

- Completion of the procedure … Hair is thoroughly washed again with shampoo, hairpins are removed. A mask, balm is applied, everything is thoroughly washed off.
