How to make curls for a child at home?

For women, doing their own hair styling in various ways is a common thing. For this purpose, various devices and fixing means are used. But if you need to style your baby’s hair, many methods are categorically not suitable. Curling curls is harder for a child, because gentle methods must be used.

It is impossible to imagine a little princess at a children's party without beautiful curls. Usually it is with them that the parents associate a festive baby hairstyle. But in order for delicate hairs to adorn lush and elastic curls, it is important to know how to make them correctly. How not to harm children's hair, but at the same time wind it and fix the result?

It will help knowledge of safe curling methods and the ability to cook fixing products for babies at home from natural products. These are important skills, because the baby will have to be gathered for the holiday more than once, until she is old enough to do without your help.

Good for those whose child is naturally gifted with curly hair. The rest should twist strands for the young ladies according to the principle of "do no harm." Despite the identical structure of the hair rods, at different ages there is a difference between them. Baby hair is thinner and has fewer cuticle layers. At the same time, the pH of the scalp in the child is almost neutral and is 6.5.

The soft hairs covering at birth and in the first months of life of the head of babies are being replaced by stiff ones. Only by puberty, the hair becomes identical to "adults" in its structure.

Before you start creating curls for a matinee, remember these valuable recommendations.

• The girl's hair needs to be laid not just clean - they must be freshly washed and slightly moist.
• To wash your hair, you need a special shampoo for children - without sulfates in the composition and with a neutral pH level.
• Before spinning, each strand must be carefully combed, moving from the very tips to the roots.
• Do not use massage brushes or scallops with small and frequent teeth for combing baby curls.
• If professional styling products are chosen, there should be a minimum amount of them on the hair.
• It is advisable not to dry the strands with a hairdryer, especially with hot air.
• Try to avoid curling. A thermal protective agent is also not particularly useful for the delicate hair of children.
• Master the "folk" methods of creating and fixing curls (pigtails, rags, etc.).
• Leaving soft curlers on the curls at night, put the baby on the head with a scarf or use a nylon mesh. So the hairstyle will be more reliable during sleep.
• Ready curls instead of a comb with rare cloves can be divided by fingers.
• The use of hairspray is an extreme measure. It is advisable to use aerosol fixers no more often than a couple of times a year, for the most solemn events.

You can quickly curl locks with your own hands to a little daughter without a curling iron. Both medium length and short hair will do. But in the latter embodiment, you do not need to make a small curl. Otherwise, the baby’s head will resemble a fluffy dandelion.

For curls of a beautiful form for short hair, you need large soft curlers. But, of course, not the ones that need to be heated. The main thing in a children's hairstyle is to choose suitable gentle means for curling hair.

You can curl the little princess curls on curlers, but not on all sorts. Soft rollers without clips are suitable for babies. Some mothers successfully use the "magic" and advertised Magic Leverage.

But as the best option for curling baby curlers, foam rubber locks are most often praised. They are designed for gentle curling and are distinguished by their soft structure and the absence of an internal flexible core. It turns out to wind the hair on the locks the first time, quickly and safely for delicate hair.

A recommendation on how to curl hair at locks at home.

• Comb the hair and separate the required number of strands (according to the number of locks).
• Take one of the strands, apply a little bit of fixative to the full length. It is better if it is something homemade.
• Twist the hair slightly into a flagellum. Then the hairstyle will turn out more magnificent.
• Place the foam blank at the roots of the selected strand.
• Wind the strand in a spiral motion starting from the root zone.
• At the end, fix with an elastic band.
• Repeat the same with the remaining strands.
• Wait until the hair is completely dry. Starting from the back of the head, untangle the soft locks.

This is probably the most popular way to create wavy hair. Depending on how small or large the braids are, you get the size of the curl. Stacking is performed by two methods:

• weaving one or more "ears of wheat";
• weaving from 10 to 20 classic braids arranged in a checkerboard pattern.

In any of the options, the following algorithm of actions is performed.

• Moistened curls are sprayed with any safe means to fix.
• The strands are separated, each braided into a pigtail. For "spikelets" you need to draw partings vertically, starting from the forehead to the back of the head. For larger curls, braids are woven larger; for smaller ones, accordingly, thin braids need to be braided.
• Weave should be tight, but not pulling the hair too much. Braids should start from the very roots to create a radical volume of hair.
• The tips are fixed with soft rubber bands.
• It is better to leave the hair in pigtails dry for the night.
• Dissolving dried strands, carefully separate the curls with your fingers.

The option to create wavy hair on the principle of "quick and easy." Great for medium hair length (caret, bean) or short haircuts:

• hair is divided into equal strands;
• from the tip, the strand is twisted towards the roots on the index finger;
• the resulting circle is fixed by "invisibility";
• so do with each strand.

To create curls in this way, you will need only tiny rubber bands and a gel or something replacing it:

• all hair is divided into the same volume locks;
• they apply a little gel or an identical product;
• the strand is twisted in an upright position until it itself curls up with a “snail”.

Proven by more than one generation, an easy and completely safe way to design beautiful curls. Thus, it is possible to create both large spirals and small curls. Strands can be wound directly on small flaps, but it is more convenient to make so-called papillots. They do not fall off the hair and reliably fix curls.

It is better not to use gauze and a bandage, since tissue particles from the sections are separated from them. These white strings are tangled in the hair and spoil the appearance of the hairstyle, if you do not select them after all.

To create curly curls, you will need only chopped rag strips and paper.

• Stripes from 2–2.5 cm wide and about 10–12 cm long are cut from the fabric. Their number depends on how large the curl is needed and on the density of the hair. Optimally make 18 papillots. You can, of course, and less.
• On each piece of fabric, wrap a paper rectangle about 4 cm wide and 6 cm longer.
• Divide prepared wet hair into equal strands. The finer they are, the finer the future curl will form.
• Screw each strand onto a home-made papillot. You need to wind, starting from the bottom, from the ends.
• Fix by tying the ends of the rags on a bow around the hair roller.
• On top of the papillot tie a scarf.
• After the hair is completely dry, twisted strands can be dissolved. Carefully remove the papillots from the curls. They need to be pulled out of the middle of the roller, and not unwound. Gently separate the tight curls with your fingers.

Foam curlers can be cut independently if it is not possible to buy such products. Especially when an unnecessary cut of foam is already at hand.

To create a “light” waviness on the hair, a method with a simple bundle is suitable.

At the top of the head a large "snail" is twisted - a bunch.Hair should be clean and slightly damp. It is better to apply a little mousse on them before spinning. In the morning, soft curls of large size will form on loose hair.

If you often form curly hair from straight hair using styling, you can harm them. Especially if such a hairstyle is done to children.

All kinds of foams, gels and varnishes cover the hair follicles with a film, disrupting the access of oxygen to them. They negatively affect the pH of the scalp, form dandruff, allergic reactions (up to skin rashes and hair loss).

It is always better to put the child's hair on a styling made on their own. There are no negative consequences from such home remedies. Given the characteristics of the body of their baby, parents can make up a suitable hypoallergenic drug.

Safe means for fixing curly locks are suitable for holiday hairstyles and for use on ordinary days. They are especially relevant when, from an early age, a girl is engaged in dancing, participating in competitions and concerts.

Whey-based varnish:

• fold cheesecloth or a waffle towel in two layers;
• strain through the tissue 0.5 l of serum;
• add 1 tbsp. l dry nettle and twice as much mint;

• insist 1 hour;
• pour into an empty spray bottle.

Apply before styling or spray onto hair to secure a styled hairstyle.

• Wait until the gelatin swells (20-30 minutes).
• Put the gelatin to languish in a water bath, stirring constantly to give the mass uniformity. You can’t boil!

The gel is used during styling. For an easy degree of fixation, the minimum amount of gel prepared is dissolved in hot water.

Flaxseed based product.

• You need to take 1⁄2 tbsp. cold water.
• Pour into the water 1 tsp. seed.
• Boil for about 20 minutes.

In addition to the fact that natural compounds fix curls, they still carry out additional hair care, give them a natural shine, and contribute to their strengthening.

After all the hair is wound in any way, you need to put on a headscarf or hat on top. A warm environment makes the effect of curling longer, and curls more elastic.
