The average time that it should take to wind up using thermal hair rollers is from 15 to 20 minutes. The maximum time for which they can be left on curls is half an hour. In general, the time how long you can keep the curlers in your hair depends on what you expect to receive as a result.

However, most modern (electric) models are practically impossible to get a burn as many of them are thermally insulated. Also wrapping curls it is necessary to do with special accuracy, without creases and at the same time do not pull the hair too much.

Another important point is how to heat the curlers properly.. If you have ordinary models (of the old model), then in order for them to heat up, it will be enough to boil them in water for 5 to 10 minutes. If you are the owner of electric curlers, then everything is simpler - the heated container itself will "take care" of this. Most models have a temperature controller - you can heat these plastic curlers to the temperature your hair needs. It usually takes 3 to 5 minutes.

Other materials from which thermal curlers are made - Teflon and ceramics. Further, during the winding of one curl on the product, it is necessary to close the lid of the heating tray.

The average weight of the kit is 2 kg. Of course, electric models are much more convenient - they do not need to be cooked.

Thermal curlers need to be removed carefully, being careful not to injure your hair as much as possible. After removing them, it is best not to use a comb. You can spread the curls gently with your fingers.

It has long been noticed that thermal curlers wind up hair of any type, type and even condition equally well.

Curlers can be wound both on the ends of the hair and the entire length. The styling looks better when the curlers are wound so that the curls are directed down.

Below is a step-by-step instruction on how to how to wind long curls beautifully.

1. Dry curls need to be treated with hair styling mousse.
2. Now it is necessary (preferably a comb with a thin tip) to divide the hair into 3 parts - in the middle, on the left side and on the right side.
3. Each of these parts is separated from each other with rubber bands or hairpins.
4. You need to start curling the curls from the middle part and from the hair that is closest to the forehead. The direction of application of the curlers is from the forehead to the back of the head.
5. Next, you need to do the same with the other two parts of the hair and in the same way - from the face to the back of the head.
6. After all the curls have been wound, you need to sprinkle the hair with varnish to fix the hair.
7. Wait about 20 minutes.
8. After that, you should carefully start to remove the curlers. This must be done in the same order as this process began - from the forehead to the back of the head.
9. Now you need to spread the curls with your hands, without a comb. To complete the process, you can gently brush the outside of the hair with a comb-brush.

It is easier to curl medium hair than the previous ones, unless the target was small curls in the Afro style. Often medium length hair no need to curl completely. It will be enough to place 2-3 curlers on the crown of the crown and the same amount, but on a different diagonal, in the region from the ear to the back of the head. As a result, you can get large curls that collect hair back in a natural way.

For short hair you will need to use curlers of a smaller diameter than for long or medium hair. Otherwise, it will be quite difficult to twist them. For short hair it will be enough to wind only the area around the face or bangs. To do this, divide the hair in half lengthwise, from ear to ear. Next, you need to wind the curls one at a time along the face along its perimeter.

Curlers should be positioned in a direction from the forehead to the back of the head. After removing the curlers, it will be possible to lay the bangs in different ways by changing the parting. When winding up, it was quite popular to arrange curlers in random order, however, now such styling remains only amateur. As a result, you can get voluminous, but randomly lying hair.

It is worth remembering that after removing the curlers the procedure can not be considered complete. For a truly beautiful and attractive hairstyle, you need to try not just to style your hair, but to do it as naturally as possible.

In conclusion, it is worth mentioning the importance of maintaining the health of curls. Before each use of curlers, it is necessary not only to treat the hair with a heat-protective agent, but also to ensure that they do not dry out during curling. You also need to remember that it is not recommended to use thermal curlers more than 2 times a week. Then your curls will be not only beautiful, but also healthy and silky.
