Large corrugation: advantages and disadvantages, creation

To add novelty to the image, it is not necessary to make a complex haircut or radically change the color of the hair. It is enough to try an unusual way of volumetric styling - a large corrugation, which is able to diversify everyday and evening hairstyle. For those who are trying to experiment with a new hairstyle for the first time, as well as for those who regularly make unusual curls, we have prepared material on the nuances of use and the rules for choosing special pads.

What rules are important to follow in order not to harm the hair? Consider also a selection of interesting ideas for creating a large corrugation.

Corrugation is a curl, curled with a curling iron in a special way, from small to large waves. Equally spectacular look like several strands, and all hair, designed in this way. This is ideal for owners of straight curls who dream of curls, but do not want to resort to perm. The effect of the corrugation lasts up to several days, giving an incredible volume to the hairstyle.

Shirring the hair can be done using the classic braiding and special curling. Pigtails, familiar to most girls since childhood as a way of curling, are a rather sparing option for curls, however, it requires a lot of time both for braiding and for the reverse process. Using the curling iron-styler, you can create a wave 2 times faster, and of different sizes.

Depending on the nozzle parameters, the following types of corrugation are distinguished.

• Small, allowing you to add significant splendor to the hairstyle. Perfect for creating basal volume as an analogue of fleece. It looks spectacular on individual strands and on the entire hairstyle. Owners of short strands are not recommended to make a small corrugation over the entire surface so as not to get excessive and not always appropriate splendor of hair.

• Medium - a real "middle ground", suitable for hair of any length. In a tandem with a larger or smaller wave, it can create interesting accents in the hairstyle.

• Large - ideal for medium hair. On long hair, a large wave is easily smoothed out under weight (without additional fixation), and on short strands they can ugly sideways.

The corrugation effect looks good on loose hair, its elements are used to create a variety of hairstyles. The advantages of such a styling are enough:

• it does not electrify hair and does not need a lot of styling products;
• a safe analogue of a wave lasts a long time;
• Looks good on hair of any length;
• the hairstyle becomes much more voluminous;
• Available for creating with your own hands at home and even outside the usual conditions.

There are few drawbacks, among them:

• time consuming;
• regular styling with the help of a curling iron can significantly spoil the condition of the hair if you do not use thermal protection;
• corrugation using pigtails creates an uneven effect - the roots and ends remain straight, and excessively tight braiding can lead to tearing out of hair follicles.

To create corrugations of any size it is better to use a styler. In this case, you should have enough time (at least 2 hours) and do not use the device more than 1 time per week, so as not to damage the hair by exposure to high temperatures.

The choice of a curling iron with a corrugated surface should be taken seriously, since the quality of styling and the degree of thermal effect on the hair directly depend on it. The modern range of such devices is very large. To begin with, there are multifunctional stylers that can both straighten and curl hair. They are more appropriate in beauty salons, and will suit those girls who regularly create a new image without sparing their hair. If you are not a fan of overpayments for unnecessary features, look for a mono device to create waves.

What to look for when choosing.

• Different kinds of pads. To create small waves and volume at the roots, pay attention to stylers with a working surface of up to 2 cm. This option is suitable for girls with sparse hair. The average size of the working surface (up to 3.5 cm) is the most versatile: it will cope with both the basal volume and the generation of waves over the entire surface. A large size (from 4 cm) will create the desired large corrugation, but the volume at the roots will not.

• Sizes. If you often have to do styling outside the home, a compact curling iron will come to the rescue. Included with it is a cover for easy transportation. If you plan to use the device exclusively at home, choose a full-size curling iron.

• Work surface coating material. The most gentle material is ceramic. Plates of this material quickly heat up to the required level, retain heat longer and gently affect the hair. The cost of such plates is the highest, however, it is better to pay once for the quality of the product than to repair damaged curls later.

• Temperature control To maintain the health of the strands during frequent use of the curling iron, select a device with switching modes to select the optimum temperature.For thick and hard curls you will need heating to 230 C, for thinner and weakened ones - to 180 C.

• Existence of additional functions and nozzles. The standard economy-class curling iron has no removable parts. A higher class of devices is equipped with additional nozzles for creating waves of various sizes.

• The size of the cord. The longer the wire, the easier it is to use the device in any room. You do not depend on the location of outlets and the mirror in front of which you are styling.

• Price. You have to pay for quality, so curling irons from eminent, reputable brands are expensive. You can buy an economy option if you are not going to regularly wave the waves on your head.

Among the plates for creating a large corrugation, the following can be distinguished.

• GA. MA Fable Frize - a device that heats up to 220 C in a matter of minutes and creates beautiful large waves. The downside is the presence of only 1 temperature regime, designed for thicker and stronger hair. The plates are ceramic coated.

• Viconte VC-6735 - Suitable for hair of any type. The ceramic coating of the plates, 9 temperature modes and ergonomic design make creating a hairstyle a real pleasure.

• BaBylissPRO - a real flagship among the corrugated pads. Wide floating plates made of titanium with a ceramic coating facilitate styling, a long cord provides mobility, 5 temperature modes allow you to style all types of hair. The disadvantage is the high cost.
