Features
The use of curlers for volume at the roots - the most winning option for owners of thin hair. Using the simple method of winding, they will get gorgeous raised curls. Work with curlers is classified as a cold method of creating a basal volume, in this case, devices that need to be heated (ironing, curling iron) are not needed. Just need curlers and a comb.
To get the volume, you need to know the main rule: curlers need to be fixed so that they fit snugly against the roots, and remove them after the hair is completely dry. Otherwise, the styling will not last long. To wind the curlers on the basal part of the hair is not a difficult task. It is easily doable even by those who have no experience in hairdressing.
If this is done on short and medium hair, then at the same time as the basal volume, you will get curls along the entire length. It is enough for the woman to twist the entire strand on the curlers and fix it at the base of the hair. In this case, it is better to use an element for twisting. with a large diameter.
With the help of curlers, you can raise hair all over the head, but it can only be in separate areas. So, asymmetry on short hair is popular today.Curlers are fixed on the side where there is more hair, the other part is not touched and only corrected by styling means. Stylish styling with romantic elements comes out.
The most natural volume seems from Velcro curlers, but to work with them you need skill. The use of elements for curling a curl depends on the structure and length of the hair.
Varieties
Curlers, including for creating a basal volume, come in different sizes:
- small in diameter - used to create small curls, they are recommended for owners of short haircuts;
- medium diameter - with their help, bangs and the front of the hair are laid;
- large size - used for basal volume, as well as the creation of large curls on thick long hair;
- Thermo curlers - they are universal, they are used on any hair.
Velcro curlers are ideal for creating volume on the head. Determining the desired diameter is not difficult - it all depends on the length of the hair: the shorter it is, the smaller the cylinders will be. They are not recommended to go to bed with them because of the rigid frame, so it is better not to use them at night. But to wind the "Velcro" and immediately dry the hair - this is a suitable option, you need to shoot carefully.
They will well lift the roots of large curlers - with a diameter of 50–70 millimeters. Basically, they are plastic, with a mesh surface and are designed both for volume and drying of hair. It’s also inconvenient to lie on the pillow with them, professionals recommend applying them immediately after washing the hair, drying the curls on them.
At present, modern devices for raising hair have appeared, for example, using the “corrugation" technique. You can buy special “corrugation” curlers or clips for basal volume Root Volume. To keep the hairstyle longer, it is recommended to apply some styling agent to wet hair and fix the clips at the roots. You can dry it either with a hairdryer or in a natural way. By the way, the “corrugation” technology will help out women with very thick and heavy hair, in which case it is useless to do the usual basal volume.
Speaking about current trends, one cannot fail to mention the chemical wave of hair. Yes, that famous “chemistry”, popular in the last century, today has changed and is often applied only to the roots as a biowave.
In the salon, conducting a “boost up” (as the new service of the master is called) will take up to two hours. With the help of curling clamps, such a basal basis can be made at home, having bought all the necessary funds in specialized stores.
Terms of use
The technique for creating a basal volume is simple. It is possible to wind curlers both on wet hair, and on dry. Before wrapping, comb the hair of a comb well and divide it into strands. Start the process from the crown, then go to the occipital part, then go to the lateral strands. One hour is already enough to get the right volume (ideally, on average it should take up to 3 hours), give the hair the desired shape with your hands and fix it.
Thermal curlers will speed up the process, the technology for working with them is as follows:
- on slightly damp curls, a styling agent or hair volume is applied and the strands are dried;
- one strand in front is distinguished and wound it to the face;
- other curls curl towards the back of the head, that is, from the face;
- then proceed to wrapping the side strands;
- to obtain the volume, it is enough to hold the hair curlers for up to 10 minutes and remove;
- creases (if formed) straighten with an iron;
- hands shape and fix the hairstyle.
The technology is approximately the same for all types of curlers. The only difference is the exposure time. If you want to achieve a more long-lasting and chic volume, then you can wind the strands on foam rubber curlers or “corrugation” curlers and leave them overnight. You need to remove any curlers by holding the base of the hair with your fingers.
On short curls with the help of small curlers, you can imitate a perm.To create only a basal volume for long-haired ladies will not work, in this case it is recommended to divide the hair into strands and wind them all the way, fixing the curlers at the base of the hair.
If you remember the perm, it’s worth saying that whooping cough can also be used to create a basal volume - without applying chemicals, but only with the usual moisturizing hair. By means of bobbins, not only the volume at the crown, but also spiral curls will be obtained.
The technology of wrapping in this case is simple, but unusual. The strands are wound from the roots to the end of the length and not horizontally, as usual, but vertically. The curls obtained after bobbins-curlers do not comb, it is in them that there is a highlight of such a hairstyle.
Selection tips
Large smooth curlers (ideally with a velor surface) are best suited for basal volume. But if you have short hair, then it will be inconvenient to work with them. For this option, it is better to choose a different type of cylinder:
- foam rubber curlers;
- whooping cough;
- spirals;
- electric curlers.
Their placement may be different: horizontal or vertical. For short hair, horizontal fixation is preferable.
Thermal curlers are suitable for all types of hair, but their size is selected individually - it depends on the thickness and length of the curls. If you select high-quality cylinders, they will last a long time and will not spoil the hair structure.
For women with thick long hair, Velcro curlers with hooks made of light material are suitable. To ensure that the volume does not disappear quickly, such hair is necessarily treated with styling products, but in no case moisturized with balms - this will make curls heavier.
Various devices in the form of curlers, bobbins, ribbon-spirals will greatly facilitate the life of any woman, make her charming and spectacular not only in solemn moments, but also everyday. And the fact that this is achieved with one's own hands will only give it additional attractiveness.
