Even the most beautiful makeup, fashionable dress or expensive jewelry will not look spectacular if the woman's hair is in a deplorable state. That is why it is so important to pay special attention to your hair style.
Owners of long hair can afford a huge amount of styling. But light curls look especially impressive on luxurious strands. This hairstyle adds an image of tenderness, femininity and romance. You can create soft waves in various ways, so every girl can easily find the option of curling to her liking.
Preparatory stage
First of all, you need to thoroughly wash your hair. After all, no perm will save the situation if your hair shines from a greasy shine.
Use mild shampoos that are right for your hair type. Wash your hair twice to get the most out of your procedure.
Then apply a nourishing mask, balm or conditioner to the strands along the entire length for easy combing. You should not apply such a tool to the basal zone, since this will deprive the curls of volume and provoke premature hair contamination.
After washing, gently pat the strands with a towel, dry them slightly and apply mousse or foam to the roots for volume. Choose the product strictly according to your hair type. If the strands are thin and loose, avoid too heavy products (waxes, gels). A small amount of a special shine or fixation product can be applied to the hair length. Just do not apply too much product, otherwise the hair will look dirty, untidy and lacking volume.
Next, you need to dry your hair.Do this with a hairdryer with a diffuser, choosing a gentle mode. If you plan to make curls without curling or ironing, then the strands should be left slightly moist. Respectively, Before using stylers, the curls must be completely dried.
Basic curling methods
You can highlight the traditional options for creating soft waves, without thermal effects using improvised means. As well as more modern styling methods using special equipment. We will analyze both methods one after another.
Pigtails
This is the easiest and most affordable method of creating air locks. After all, you will not need absolutely no special tools. Moreover, this styling does not damage the hair structure at all. Just braid slightly damp locks in 1, 2 or several braids. The thicker the braid, the larger the curls will be.
For the hair to take the desired shape, you will need to go with pigtails for at least 4-5 hours. It is best to braid the braids for the night.
It’s much more convenient: the hairstyle doesn’t interfere with sleep at all, you don’t have to count the clock, and in the morning you already get a ready-made chic styling.
Harnesses
No less simple and effective styling option. Divide the loose strands into 2 or 4 sections, make ponytails and secure with an elastic band. Then twist the hair into a braid and fix it. If you want curls along the entire length, then the flagella should be located on the top of the head. In another case, wind them to the desired height.
This method also does not require special tools, skills and a lot of time. But if your hair is very long, it will not be very comfortable to sleep.

Hair curlers
Of course, these devices well-known to everyone cannot be ignored either. Curlers can be anything: large or small, thermal or ordinary, round or oblong.
Choose the appropriate option depending on the size of the desired curls and ease of use.
Twist slightly wet strands on the curlers from the end, rising to the desired level. After all the strands are wound, you can give your hair a few hours to dry naturally and take a new shape. And you can dry your hair with a hairdryer, remove the curlers, comb your hair and fix the resulting styling with varnish.
Iron
Before twisting with an iron, the hair should be thoroughly dried and treated with a special heat-protective agent. Set the temperature on the device correctly, do not make the surface too hot, otherwise you risk damaging your hair. For convenience, divide the hair into zones: first, separate a few strands on the back of the head, gather the rest on the crown and secure with a hair clip. Carefully comb the hair, then gently grab the strand a couple of cm from the roots (do not start curling from the ends) and form a curl.
It is important not to press on the device too much, otherwise ugly creases will remain on the curl. Screw the entire hair in a similar way. Then gently beat the curls with your hands or comb with a comb with rare teeth, then apply a fixing varnish.
To achieve the most natural soft waves, curl locks of different thicknesses. You can also curl the locks in different directions.
Curling iron
Creating curls using a curling iron is practically no different from the previous method. However, in this case, the perm should begin with the ends of the hair. Modern manufacturers offer a huge selection of modern and convenient equipment.
You can purchase a curling iron specifically designed specifically for creating soft air waves.
Hair dryer
You can create a delicate romantic styling with a regular hairdryer and a pair of round combs. For this, it is also necessary to divide the hair into sections. Take one strand, blow dry and wind onto a round brush. But do not rush to immediately remove the comb, but leave it while you repeat the same procedure with the second strand.Then remove the brush from the first curl and fix it with varnish.
After curling the entire hair, gently beat your hair with your hands. Light curls look gorgeous on loose hair. But hairstyles with them will be no less beautiful. For example, a high or low tail, a sloppy bunch, etc. Use these tips, don't be afraid to experiment with the image and be irresistible!
