Afrokudri: what is it, who is it and how to do it?

African-style hairstyles attract the attention of modern fashionistas with their originality and brightness. They attract everyone's attention, their popularity is growing every day. But if it’s easy for Africans to create their onions, then Europeans and Asians have to resort to different methods of creating a fluffy head of hair, reminiscent of a ramp of wild curls. The material in this article will introduce readers to the methods of creating afro-curls, tell who they are suitable for, and also teach how to lay curls.

Afro-curls are a magnificent hairstyle, consisting of many curls, springs. Due to the large number of curls, it is possible to recreate the splendor of hair. Such hairstyles are popular due to the fact that they do not require a minute correction and constant attention.

Such a hairstyle differs from ordinary curls in African color. If we are used to large curls and straight hair at the roots, then the situation is different: curls are wound from the root. Such hairstyles perfectly correct the oval of the face and give the image lightness. Afro-curls are practical, allow different experiments with the image and the creation on its basis of various hairstyles.

African curls are convenient in that they look beautiful on hair of different lengths. They will allow you to express your own personality, adventurism and rebellious character. Elastic curls can change the mood of a business set that obeys a strict dress code. At the same time, you can make such a styling both in a professional salon and at home.

African curls are made using different tools. For example, for this use an iron, a curling iron with a ceramic coating, thin bobbins, threads, pencils, flexible papillots. In each case, it turns out its own kind of curls.

When creating a hairstyle, you will have to take into account a number of nuances. For example, African curls are not so easy to do on both short and long hair. In addition, you need to understand that a voluminous hairstyle can add massiveness to facial features and visually expand it. Choosing this or that way of creating afro-curls, it is necessary to note the type of hair for yourself.

• If your curls are straight and stiff, making small curls will be problematic. In this case, you will have to use special preparations for hot styling. The temperature of the curling devices used will have to be selected individually, while the hair should not be wet.
• With obedient straight hair, problems with styling should not arise. It is important to properly prepare the hair for curling. As in the first case, you can use tongs or a curling iron. But in this process, you will have to lower the temperature of the instrument from 220 to 180 (200) degrees.

• If a girl has curly curls by nature, such hair is easier than others in styling. As a rule, in this case, after curling, they last much longer.
• The most problematic is to work with damaged and brittle curls. Here you have to do the so-called cold styling, although in most cases it is not able to mask the cut hair and does not always look well-groomed.

It will be with her that the styling will last the longest, and not only in good, but also in damp weather. However, the abundance of foam on the hair can make curls heavier. Other girls prefer to use special oil instead of varnish and foam. This tool is suitable when the woman of fashion does not need a durable styling. Such curls look beautiful, they are elastic, hold well, although not as tough as when using varnish.

Afro-curls will add splendor to the female hairstyle. However, they cannot be called universal, suitable for all women. Ideally, this styling looks on tall and slender girls, giving them a considerable share of charm. Moreover, the hair length in this case is preferably long. As for low fashionistas, they will have to choose between styling for medium and short hair. In this case, one of the determining factors will be the fullness of the body: short and magnificent hair will not look on the fashionista-dummy.

Speaking about the oval of the face, it is worth noting: such hairstyles will not work for chubby girls, as she will expand her face even more. Owners of an oblong face, small curls are most suitable. They will correct the shape, making it more rounded. At the same time, afro-curls are considered the ideal solution for girls with fine features.

As for the best length of afro-curls, there are no strict standards. Fashionistas themselves prefer medium hair styling. At the same time, a hairstyle is often taken as the basis for hairstyles. As for the color of the hair, Afro-curls are made both on dark and red curls, and on light ones.

Long hair and afro-curls are considered a striking symbiosis of audacity and sexuality. Such styling excites the male mind and robs the man of reason. For such styling, you can use tongs, a curling iron, or you can braid a lot of small braids. You can also use bobbins and papillots.

The technology for producing luxurious curly hair for medium hair as a whole does not differ from the technique for achieving small curls on long curls. Also in this case, you can use pencils, sushi sticks, cocktail tubes, hairpins, hairpins, thick threads, laces and various ropes to work - you can use different objects.

As for the short length, in this case you need to understand that Afro-curls will go not to every girl with a short length, and even a different basis. For example, they look great in the style of African women with a very short length (for a boy). But, if you decide to make small curls, say, on the basis of a square, the result can be deplorable. For hairstyles for short hair, it is best to use textile papillots or cut pieces of paper.

Performing styling on hair of different lengths, it is worth considering several nuances.

• If you want to wind your hair with a vertical technique on curlers or bobbins, the location of the curls will be erratic, chaotic. If the technique is horizontal, curls will fall down.
• Using smooth bobbins, you can’t “hack” with the ends of the hair, otherwise the hairstyle will look messy.

• If wrapping seems complicated, you need to reduce the thickness of the wound strand.
• Hair with a length exceeding 25 cm can be wound both horizontally and vertically.
• Curls on coarse hair can last only a few hours. At the same time, their density will be another decisive factor.

The styling resistance will depend more on the structure and length of the hair. For example, curls on long and heavy hair are worst kept. If the curls themselves are thin, and even short, they can hold on for a long time. Long-term styling can last from the moment of execution to washing the hair. Short duration can be no more than one day.

If we talk about spiral chemistry or the so-called spiral chemical wave of hair, which takes up to 5 hours, then this result exceeds all expectations. Durability in this case is determined by the chemicals used and can be more than one month. Braiding allows you to make curls that can be worn until the next hair wash. The iron is not inferior in demand to pigtails: its effect is almost the same.

Creating small curls in the cabin is a laborious task that requires a lot of time. Variations of performance at home will take less time, but it will depend on the tool used and the skills of the girl herself.

Curling iron "corrugation" today is considered one of the simpler and faster. For the working process, you need a curling iron with a special “corrugation” nozzle. Before starting to curl, the hair is washed and dried with a hairdryer, after which a spray with the function of thermal protection is applied to them. To get small curls you need to put a lock at the roots in a curling iron and gradually advance the device to the end of the hair.

Hold the lock for no more than 10 seconds. At the same time, you need to wind it onto the curling iron tightly, which eliminates the sticking of curls in different directions. The severity of the effect will depend on the thickness of the taken strand: the fewer hairs taken, the more pronounced the effect.

Despite the fact that such curls turn out to be large, a considerable part of the girls use a round curling iron, trying to choose a tool with a small diameter of the working surface. In order to save money, girls get curling irons with interchangeable nozzles. First, the desired nozzle is attached to the base of the curling iron, then they are wound on it lock by lock.

This technique differs from traditional winding only in the size of the curlers used. In this case, you will have to use small curlers. At the same time, it’s not worth it to “flirt”: in order for the curls to appear pronounced and small, the wound strand should be small. Otherwise, creating the effect of curly curly hair will not work (such styling will not last long).

For work, you can purchase papillots that are less likely to injure curls. Such styling should be done on washed and towel-dried hair. Each wet strand is treated with foam and only then wound on curlers. On average, about three hours should pass at the end of installation to fix the result.

For styling, the hairpin is placed as close to the hair roots as possible, after which the separated strand is moistened, wound with a figure eight and fixed to the tip. Unwind peculiar curlers in a few hours. After this, the curls are necessarily treated with a fixative.

This technique is notable for its unusualness and, despite the inconvenience of execution, is actively used by modern fashionistas. Washed and towel-dried hair is combed over its entire length, without waiting until it is completely dry. Having taken a separate strand, it is wound on an ordinary pencil, after which they are passed through it with an iron or tongs. Next, the resulting curls are gently untwisted, freeing the pencil. So do with each strand.

In this case, different techniques are used (including using a pencil). For example, after washing and drying hair, you can comb your curls well, then braid small braids and dry them in an iron.

The methods of laying ready-made curls will depend on the oval of the female face and the total length of the hair. In addition, the age of the woman of fashion will be a decisive nuance. For example, very young beauties often ennoble impudent and elastic curls-springs with a thin hair band or bandage. It looks beautiful, gives the image notes of mischief.

In other cases, curls are combed, they are also left untouched or they are divided into small locks to increase splendor. For separation, they often resort to the use of a comb with rare teeth. If you initially correctly divide the locks, you can completely do without further styling. At the same time, the hairstyle will look quite beautiful and well-groomed.

However, if the girl does not attach particular importance to the separation of the strands, the situation may be different. For example, the option of laying on a straight parting looks very ugly. This hairstyle is reminiscent of the well-known character of the Kuzyu domain. Much more interesting is the hairstyle in which curls cover a clear parting.

The curls themselves can be directed back from the face. If they get into your eyes, you can use any rim in the traditional way.If you want something creative, you can make a bezel from a thin pigtail, braiding it according to the principle of selection on one side. Such a styling will look aesthetically attractive.

If the rim is not your option, but you need to open your forehead, you can hook part of the hair with a small rubber band or hair clip. By the way, this styling option will allow you to hide the flaws of curling curls. If a girl likes small braids, and also needs to remove hair falling on her face, you can braid a couple of braids by hiding them between small curls.

Afrokudri like many fashionistas. This is evidenced by the reviews left on the open spaces of the network. In the comments, the girls note that hairstyles in the style of African women are fresh and original, they allow you to make novelty and playfulness. “The image looks completely different,” write commentators, “he draws the attention of the opposite sex.”

As for the main haircut and hair length, then the opinions of fashionistas differ: some like styling to the shoulders, others prefer to make curls for long curls.

Opinions about the size of curls are different: some fashionistas like it when large curls, others prefer to do home styling, exactly copying the image of the Africans. However, often girls write that after winding, curls should be given great attractiveness by straightening, stacking them or even combing them with large teeth. Otherwise, the hairstyle may look unnatural.
