How to use Velcro curlers?

Velcro curlers are a very convenient device for styling hair, especially medium length strands. “Sticky” curlers are good in that they allow you to style your hair with maximum care, beautiful and interesting, avoiding traumatic factors. The achievement of the desired result and long-term preservation of the hair will help compliance with several simple rules.

Sticky curlers are light oblong rollers, the surface of which is covered with soft teeth, which allow the locks to be firmly fixed. They come in different diameters and may vary in length. The larger the brushes, the more voluminous and natural curls will result. It is not so difficult to use this type of styling correctly; several trainings are quite enough to get a beautiful and natural hairstyle.

The use of these devices will allow:

• Get natural soft curls, avoiding creases;
• with some training, the winding process is quite simple and does not require special skills;
• this is one of the most delicate styling methods;
• Velcro is practically weightless, so you can wind your hair and do other things calmly.

Before proceeding directly to the curl, the hair must be prepared. It is important to remember that creating a beautiful hairstyle on sick, cut, lifeless hair will not work. It should also be noted that Velcro is more suitable for medium and moderately long hair.It is quite difficult to wind very long and hard strands. Most likely, Velcro curlers will be difficult to fix, they will not hold well, when removed there is a risk of tangling curls, and curls will not last long enough.

Stages of hair preparation will be like this.

• Hair should be clean. Even slightly contaminated hair becomes even more contaminated during styling and becomes unpleasantly shiny and sticky. Therefore, they must be thoroughly washed. For additional care, it is advisable to use special products - balm or mask. Rinse well with warm water. Specialists do not recommend using hot water for shampooing.
• The strands should either be completely dried or left a little damp. You don’t need to rush and wind wet hair onto Velcro curlers - this will not bring the desired result, the curls will not dry completely, and the hairstyle will quickly lose its desired appearance. To add extra volume, you can pre-dry your hair with a hairdryer with a diffuser.
• Comb the strands thoroughly. It is advisable to use styling products suitable for the type of hair and designed to create and fix elastic curls.
• Divide hair into locks according to the number of curlers, secure them with hairpins or elastic bands. Long hair can be gathered in a ponytail or bun and pulled out one lock at a time. They should not be too voluminous, otherwise the hair will not dry out and develop quickly. Strands that are too thin should also not be taken, otherwise the hairstyle will turn out to be excessively lush.
• Fix the tip of the strand on the roller and wind, tightly pressing the hair to the sticky surface. Curling can be done in any direction: horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or by combining different directions. The main thing is to do everything very carefully.
• For a more secure fit, tie your head with a thin scarf or put on a special hat.
• Keep curlers in your hair for at least three hours. If possible, it is best to do this as long as possible - the contours of the curls will be clearer, and the curl will last a long time.

In order for the hairstyle to fully correspond to the desired result, It is important not only to prepare the hair, but also to choose the right size for the curler.

• Small tight curls It will turn out if you use small curlers with a diameter of less than 1-2 cm. On curlers of this size it is also convenient to curl individual curls on the neck or behind the ears, which are difficult to capture with large rollers
• Middle cylinders 3-4 cm in diameter will allow you to create large, spectacular curls and help twist your bangs.
• Volume soft waves will be obtained when winding onto large curlers with a diameter of 5 cm or more. They are also used to tighten the ends.

Curlers of all sizes are useful for creating complex hairstyles. It is important to take a critical approach to assessing the condition of the hair. Rare and thin hair is better to wind on small and medium Velcro, as large on them are likely to be poorly fixed, and the hairstyle will be sloppy. The length of the strands also depends on the length of the cylinders. The shorter the roller, the thinner the strand should be.

"Hedgehogs" are perfectly fixed on short hair. With their help, you can create additional volume and emphasize the relief of cascading haircuts. The technology is quite simple:

• sprinkle slightly damp hair with varnish or other fixing agent and comb in different directions to enrich with oxygen and give volume;
• well fix the tip of the curl on a rough surface;
• gently twist the curl to the end;
• for short hair, additional means of fixing Velcro will not be needed;
• blow dry your hair, letting it cool down for several minutes or allow it to dry naturally.

This length is ideal for the use of "hedgehogs." The process is similar to styling on short hair. The main thing is to carefully separate and carefully fasten the strands, while wrapping them tightly pressing them to a rough surface. The average length allows you to diversify hairstyles and create interesting images. For this, curlers of any size are suitable, which will allow you to create beautiful cascades and waves.

One of the interesting ways is a combination of Velcro of different diameters. This allows you to create a multi-level hairstyle. Another way is to divide the hair into layers, then wind back the strands, and leave the lower ones smooth.

On long hair, it is most difficult to create curly curls. The difficulties are as follows:

• hair may become tangled;
• curlers will need to be additionally fixed with clips or hairpins;
• To create a stable hairstyle, special tools for styling and fixing are needed.

You can cope with these difficulties, given the following rules:

• curlers should be large;
• hair must be divided into rather thin locks, otherwise the Velcro will not support their weight;
• it is recommended to wind the strands only to the middle;
• if you need to create a basal volume, then it is best to wind the strands to the roots only in the parietal zone, wind the rest of the mass to the middle.

This process requires a lot of accuracy. The strand must first be slightly loosened at the roots, and then carefully untwisted over the entire length. If a hairdryer is used for drying, then it is necessary to allow the curls to cool completely and only then remove the Velcro. Curls can be divided into strands, slightly shaking his head. If it was supposed to give the hairstyle volume, comb in different directions and raise with your fingers, laying in the right directions.
