Lovely young ladies always strive to look perfect, and a hairdress plays an important role in this situation. Many can not imagine their life without the use of curlers, which are presented on store shelves in a huge assortment. Soft curlers are in particular demand due to their convenience.
They absolutely do not injure hair, are suitable for twisting them at night and have a lot of advantages, more about which we will discuss in our article.
General Terms of Use
Using soft curlers to make curls is not difficult at all. However, there are general rules that must be followed so that the hairstyle delights its owner with an excellent appearance and does not cause trouble. The first and main rule is to start the procedure only when the hair is clean and slightly damp. During their washing, it is recommended to use balm or conditioner, this will help soften the strands and make them more obedient, which greatly facilitates winding.
Besides, should be added to the curls before they are dry, a little styling. This will make the hairstyle smoother and neater. If you plan to use a hairdryer for drying, you need to tilt your head down, and direct a stream of air directly to the roots. This simple action will help to add basal volume, respectively, the hairstyle will not look "sleek". The tips of the lock should not be bent. They need to be laid as evenly as possible. Otherwise, after removing the soft curlers, they will puff in different directions.
You also need to remember that thinner hair should be divided into smaller locks, this will give additional volume.
Step-by-step procedure is as follows. It should start from the middle of the head. The strand is carefully separated, combed, and sprayed with varnish. Its width should be equal to the width of the curler. It twists inward from the tip. Curls should be pulled over, and twisted perpendicular to hair growth. The product is fixed near the head. If the hair has time to dry, they need to be additionally sprayed with water. How long to keep the curlers on your hair depends on their structure and quantity.
The main advantages of such curlers are convenience and softness. Their shape may be different, however, cylinders or balls are especially popular. Curls can be attached in many ways. The hair length for this procedure does not matter. You can also change the exposure time. For light curls, you can wait quite a bit, and perky curls form if you leave the product on your head throughout the night.
Hair Wrap Techniques
You can create spectacular curls using soft curlers in several stages. Let's try to parse each of them. A variety of curlers in this case does not have much significance. First you need to prepare your head. The first thing to do is to wash your hair properly. After that, the strands are slightly dried. You can use an ordinary towel. After that, you need to wait a while.
Before curling, the hair is combed. If it is planned that the styling should last quite a long time, you can apply a special mousse or foam on them, however, this is not a prerequisite. Hair is divided into smooth locks and wound on curlers. It is best to start from the middle of the head, but you can twist the bangs first. After this, the products remain on the head for a certain period of time, and then are removed.
It is not necessary to twist the hair along the entire length. In some cases, it is permissible to pay attention exclusively to the tips. This can help create an original and eye-catching look. In such a situation, only the ends of the hair are wetted with water, after which they are twisted into curlers. The effect will enhance the application of styling products. As a result, the lovely young lady will receive beautiful wavy tips.
Creating a basal volume also depends on the technique of twisting. To raise hair, curlers are twisted almost to the roots. In this case, experts recommend using the most convenient varieties. Laying methods you can choose the mass.
However, most often the fair sex prefer to spin frequent curls for short hair and smooth waves for long.
Long
If we are talking about long hair, you need to select wider curlers on them. The ratio to the length will have to be considered. As in other cases, the hair is washed, dried in a natural way and combed properly. After that, the strands are twisted on curlers. The thickness should depend on what result is planned to be obtained. For curly hair, thin locks are taken, for wavy hair - more voluminous.
Middle length
It should be noted that large curls will look and hold best on medium hair. The procedure is carried out similarly to the previous one. After preparation, the strands are wound on curlers, a certain time is waited for, after which they are unwound and sprayed with a styling fixing agent.
Short
You can curl short hair using foam rubber curlers or boomerangs, and the first variety is most often preferred. Twisting should begin from the back of the head, moving towards the forehead and temples. In this case, the strands should be quite large, otherwise there is a chance to get the “lamb” effect and excessive volume.
The preparatory and final stages are not different from the previous ones.
How to remove?
The removal procedure also deserves attention. Oddly enough, but it depends on what type of curler was used - foam or spiral. In the first case, the product should be released in the opposite direction, in contrast to curling. After the strands are loose, they need to be combed with your fingers and sprinkled with varnish. It is not recommended to use a comb at this stage. Spiral covers just pull off the hair in turn.
It is better to dry hair in a natural way. However, since this takes quite a long time, you can use a hairdryer that works in hot mode. After the strands have completely dried, they need to be sprayed with varnish, having retreated a sufficient distance. Next, the curlers are removed, the hair is carefully disassembled with your fingers, and then again fixed with varnish.
There are some comments about the morning procedure. If it was decided to wind the hair in the evening, and it is planned to remove the curlers only in the morning, it is necessary to do this after all water procedures, and in the case when showering is planned, you must definitely wear a hat. In addition, it is initially recommended to wash and get dressed.
It must be remembered that high humidity is fatal for curls. Therefore, for insurance, just in case, before removing the curlers, you can blow dry your hair with a hairdryer. Products are removed in the same order in which they were fixed before. There is no need to rush here.
Hairdressers recommend careful handling of varnish. The fact is that its excess can deprive the hairstyle of naturalness. However, in the case when maximum fixation is required, you can depart from this rule. But you need to take into account that in the evening after using the varnish, combing your hair is not worth it. It is better to immediately wash your hair before going to bed.
