kihartamista
Kihartamista refers to the act of curling or crimping hair. This process involves using heat or chemical treatments to alter the natural structure of the hair, creating waves or curls. Historically, various methods have been employed, from simple braiding and heat styling with heated rods to more modern techniques. Modern kihartamista often utilizes electric curling irons, wands, or hot rollers, which apply direct heat to sections of hair wound around a barrel. Alternatively, chemical treatments such as perms can permanently alter hair texture to achieve a curly or wavy appearance. The duration and intensity of the heat or chemical process, along with the size of the curling tool or the type of perm solution used, determine the final look, ranging from loose waves to tight curls. Kihartamista can be temporary, lasting until the hair is washed or styled differently, or semi-permanent to permanent depending on the method. The desired outcome dictates the technique chosen by individuals seeking to change their hairstyle.
