How to wind curlers?

There are many ways to make curls and cool curls. Experts recommend using curlers - in this case, the risk of thermal damage is minimized, and the waves turn out to be stylish and beautiful. To achieve the desired result, wind the locks should be correct.

Winding curlers allows you to cope immediately with a number of tasks:

• give the hair the desired shape;
• protect the structure of the hairs from thermal damage.

When winding curlers, less time is spent than when making curls with a curling iron.

Regardless of the work technique used and the type of curler, it is advisable to wash your hair thoroughly before handling it, treat the locks with conditioner balm and comb it well. For stronger fixation, you should treat your hair with styling products before curling. To do this, take mousses, gels, as well as foams and varnishes.

Moisturizing the hair mass is carried out using a spray gun or curlers are wound after washing the hair when the locks dry to a slightly wet state. They begin to wind up from the parietal region, then process the anterior region, temples and, in the last turn, the back of the head. It is very important not to allow creases when creating a curl.

Before you remove the curlers, you should make sure that the hair has completely dried out. After removing the elements, it is necessary to leave the curls for 20-30 minutes and only then carefully disassemble them with your fingers.

If you wind the curlers too often, then the hair will begin to fall out. This type of treatment tends to weaken the hair shaft and dry the curls, so you should not resort to curling more than twice a week. There are several different wrapping patterns, the use of which depends on the length of the curls, the presence of a specific type of curler and the desired result.

Horizontal wrap gives an increase in volume in the root zone, so the method is optimal for the fair sex with thin, thin hair. It can be used on curls of any length, it is optimal for solid curlers - ceramic or plastic.

The curling pattern is this.

• Prepared strands need to be divided into 3 parts: one parietal and a pair of temporal.
• The twisting process begins with the parietal region. To do this, right above the frontal zone, a small strand is allocated in such a way that its size is proportional to the size of the curler.
• The strand is lifted up strictly perpendicular to the crown of the head.
• The selected curl is combed and carefully placed on the ends of the elements.
• The hair is tightly pressed and twisted, moving from the forehead to the crown, while slightly pulling it to the face.
• We pay special attention to the fact that the curl should be twisted to the roots, otherwise the traces of the clamp will be noticeable.
• According to this scheme, the entire middle part of the crown zone is wound: starting from the forehead, moving to the back of the head through the crown.
• Similarly, the hair is wound in the temporal areas.
• When all the hair is processed, you should put a mesh or capron hat on your head.
• To speed up the curls, the locks can be dried with a hairdryer and wait until they cool.
• At the final stage, you should untwist the curl from the nape up and comb a little from the ends to the roots.

This perm allows you to achieve a descending cascade of curls without creating a basal volume. Suitable for curls longer than 15 cm.

The curling pattern is this.

• Gather a piece of clean hair into a tight tail at the crown.
• At the bottom, near the nape, separate the thin strand with a horizontal parting.
• Twist the curls in a chaotic direction, while the curlers themselves must always be kept vertically.
• After finishing one horizontal row, you should proceed to the second - separate another strand, divide into several narrower ones and wind each.
• Similarly, you should treat your hair until all are curled.
• Dry your hair with a hairdryer.
• Elements are removed starting from the bottom, the resulting curls are disassembled by hand or with a scallop with rare cloves.

This technique involves the use of special curlers with spiral recesses or papillots on a soft basis. In the first case, fixing the lock is carried out using a thin rubber band, in the second - by twisting in the form of a ring.

The scheme is as follows.

• Gently comb wet hair and divide into 4 parts: a pair of temporal, one on the back of the head and one in the parietal region.
• Twist the locks in the direction from the hair roots to the ends.
• Leave the treated hair to dry naturally.

Each type of curler has its own characteristics of use.

These flexible bending curlers are better known among the people as papillots. Visually they look like rubber or foam rubber flagella on a wire basis - thanks to this structure they can be given a very different shape, alternate wide and narrow curls, and form large curls. Such elements have many advantages:

• they keep their shape perfectly;
• during fixation do not slide down;
• do not leave visible creases on curls;
• easily and quickly removed;
• have an affordable cost.

The softness of the boomerangs allows you to wind them up for the whole night. Papillots are universal, therefore, they can be used by both women with long and shortened locks. Fixation is very simple - the lock is twisted in the center of the papillot, and then the curlers curl up and down on both sides. Hair positioning can be done using the horizontal or vertical method.

These elements are the simplest curlers on a metal or plastic base. They are pressed tightly against the hair and do not peel off. At points of sale you can buy elements of small as well as medium and large diameters, traditionally 6-8 curlers are included in one set, therefore for thick as well as long hair you need 2-3 sets. Velcro has many advantages:

• there are no fixators on them, which eliminates the appearance of creases on the hair;
• if desired, you can wind only the tips;
• due to gaps in the frame, the strands dry much faster;
• curlers can be taken with you on the road;
• have a low price.

This option is used only on dry hair. Thanks to the use of accessories, every woman can quickly get ringlets without resorting to hot styling techniques. Thermal curlers consist of a frame made of plastic, as well as a paraffin rod. The base warms up quickly, and the inner layer cools down, on the contrary, for a long time, so the product does all its work safely.

To use a hair curler, they must be placed in water heated to 60-80 degrees, and held for several minutes. The heated element is pulled out and quickly spinning strands on it. As they cool, the elements give their heat to the hair, due to which the curls take a curled shape. The exposure time ranges from 15 minutes to half an hour - until the moment that the curlers are completely cooled.

Curling curls on spiral curlers is not difficult. As a rule, these are wooden or plastic sticks, on which markings are applied in a circle. The elements are small, so the curlers are optimal for both long hair and caret, however, they are not suitable for ultra-short locks. The effect of laying on a spiral is usually longer than that of curlers of other varieties. Laying on a spiral requires a lot of time, but the strand obtained in this way has a much more natural and glamorous look.

To use these curler options will require skill. They are optimal for both regular and perms. Usually they are made of plastic, in the center of the bobbin they have a slightly smaller diameter than at the ends. The strand is fixed to the element with brackets, as well as clips or an elastic band. The main advantage of curlers is the simplicity of curling hair and the low cost of a set. The disadvantages include the duration of the curling procedure and the long hair drying period.

These soft products are considered universal - they allow you to quickly and easily curl your hair in any way. Curlers have a wire frame, usually the hair is directed both vertically and horizontally. Experts recommend the use of foam elements on locks of medium length, then the image will turn out to be a little sloppy, but neat and stylish. The use of foam curlers allows you to create the effect of additional volume on the hair.

Of the shortcomings noted:

• foam rubber has the ability to absorb moisture, which significantly lengthens the drying time of curls;
• if you wind your hair overnight, then the foam will flatten, as a result, the locks will not be round, but broken and deformed;
• when drying on the hair, creases are noticeable;
• with frequent use, curlers quickly lose their shape, because they often have to be changed.

Visually, these elements resemble thermal elements; they are pins to which an electric current is supplied that transfers heat. Such curlers can be made from a variety of materials:

• metal - cheap, but at the same time unsafe elements, in addition, dry the hair;
• ceramics - safe and durable products, do not emit hazardous substances, but at the same time they cost more than all other options;
• plastic - has affordable prices and complies with current safety standards.

The advantages of electric curlers include:

• quick warm up;
• the possibility of applying to hair of all types;
• easy transportation.

Despite the fact that you can wind the curlers for the whole night, nevertheless, experts in the beauty industry recommend resorting to this method in extreme cases. Such a lasting effect for curls can be compared with torture - the hair shaft is injured, the hairs are split and even torn. In addition, for a long time, strands in a strained position cause migraines and can even cause a sharp jump in blood pressure. That is why it is recommended to carry out manipulations no more than 2-3 hours for ordinary curlers, and keep thermal and electrical for 15-25 minutes.

For to dry hair faster, you can use a hairdryer. Due to the physical features of the structure of the hairs, a hot air stream is not able to harm those parts of the hair that are wound on curlers.

Often, the fair sex is faced with an unpleasant situation - even with correctly wound hair, the desired styling still does not work. Do not despair - to create a spectacular hairstyle requires frequent practice.

We give some recommendations.

• If you are the owner of thinned curls, then the locks are best done as thin as possible, this will add extra volume to the hair.
• You can’t curl too heavy hair with large locks, they develop quickly and will not hold their shape. In this case, it also makes sense to use a thin wave on small items.
• It is necessary to wind hairs on any curlers starting from the middle of the length, first of all, the lower part is wrapped in locks, and then the elements themselves are lifted to the roots.
• You can unroll curls only after all the hair has completely dried out and cooled down.
• You can disassemble curls only with your hands or with a comb with long sparse teeth, using a brush will lead to deformation of the hairstyle.
• Keep in mind that the number of elements should be sufficient - for thick and long hair they need more.
• Choose the diameter of the curler correctly. Ideally, it is worth buying several models - this approach will allow you to get a more interesting and stylish styling.Near the face, narrower curls are used, on the middle part of the head, respectively, large ones. Medium curlers twist in the neck.
• If your curlers have an elastic band, you don’t need to fix them, as this leads to the appearance of untidy and unaesthetic creases.
• Do not put curlers on damaged hair.
• It is very important to keep an eye on the curlers. After each use, they should be cleaned of hooked hairs and washed under running water with shampoo, then dried and placed in a bag for the next twist.
