Light curls for short hair

Short haircuts impose certain restrictions on the choice of styling. You can’t make a chic voluminous tail or braids. But beautiful curls can be made even on short hair. This will help to add variety to everyday looks.

When creating light curls for short hair, it is necessary to take into account the features of this length. With the wrong choice of tools or method of wrapping, the result may not meet your expectations. Key recommendations are given below.

1. To create curls do not use too large curlers. They will add volume to short hair, but will not create the desired curls. Curlers with a large diameter are suitable only for owners of long hair.
2. Very small curlers also can not cope with this task. Remember the image of a clown whose small curls stick out in different directions from under his hat. This effect will obviously not appeal to the majority.
3. The last nuance to keep in mind when creating curls is hair protection. It's no secret that high temperatures can harm your hair. Therefore, when using a hair dryer or ironing, do not forget to use special heat-protective sprays.

Each curling method has its pros and cons. So, when using the ironing, we get beautiful elastic curls, but we run the risk of harming the strands due to exposure to high temperatures.

When using ordinary curlers, there is no such problem, but it can take a lot of time to create a hairstyle.

But the main advantage will be the safety and stability of curls. They will not fall apart even in the evening.

We should also talk about long-term styling. These include carving and perm.

The advantages of such methods include:

• long time socks (hold up to six months, or even longer);
• no need to do styling every morning;
• no longer need additional tools in the form of curlers, tongs or curling irons.

Minuses:

• undeniable damage to the hair, which causes a chemical composition;
• if the hairstyle is bored, you can’t get rid of it simply by washing your hair (you will have to use a straightener every day, or contact the salon again);
• as a result of chemicals it is possible to change the color of dyed hair;
• the result is not always the same as you expected, but it is very difficult to fix it.

It is about these methods of creating curls that we will talk below.

Making waves or curls at home is not difficult if you know the little secrets to create them. It should be understood that there are a lot of ways to achieve the desired result. Only the main ones are listed below. Choose the one that suits you the most.

In beauty salons, masters use professional tools. They have a long service life and provide a reliable result. But such equipment can be very expensive. For home use, such expenses are impractical. Even an ordinary curling iron is able to create beautiful curls.

Just follow the instructions below.

• Choose a curling iron of suitable diameter. In some devices, various nozzles are provided to obtain one or another result.
• Hair must be washed and dried in the usual way.
• Apply a heat-protective spray to the strands.
• Separate the hair with a thin comb along the line from temple to temple. Twist the upper pile into a tourniquet and secure with a “crab” or “crocodile”.
• Separate a small strand from the bottom of the hair and wind it onto the curling iron. If you use a cone curling iron, then wind on the part where the volume is most optimal for your length.
• After the entire lower part has been twisted, free a few upper strands and wind them again. It is worth changing the direction of the spin of the strands, so the hairstyle will be more voluminous.
• After twisting all the strands, sprinkle them with varnish, so that the hairstyle is preserved for a longer period.

This method began to be used relatively recently. But he already found his fans. The plus is speed and convenience. The strand in the ironing will not need to be kept, but only held with a tool along the entire length of the hair.

So, consider this modern way to create curls.

• Prepare your hair: wash with shampoo and apply balm. After drying, treat with a means of overheating.
• As with the curling iron, separate the part of the hair located in the upper part.
• Heat the iron to the set temperature. Hair can be lightly treated with gel or foam.
• Clamp the strand with an iron. Turn it so that it is perpendicular to your head. Now the most important point: it must be rotated 180 degrees and in this position to bring to the end of the lock. There is no need to loosen the clamp.
• Lay the received curls in the necessary direction and sprinkle with varnish.

If you don’t have the necessary tools at hand, then even simple hairpins or invisibles can save you.

No high temperatures will be applied here, so you do not need a heat-protective spray. But gel, mousse or foam will only strengthen the result.

Take a thin, slightly damp lock and wind it on a finger. Do not worry about the size of the lock.If it seems small to you, then when fastening, you can slightly loosen the wrapping.

So, carefully remove the twisted lock from the finger, while holding all the curls with the fingers of the other hand. In this position, attach them to the head and secure with a few invisibles or a small hair clip.

Few people know that you can get soft curls with an ordinary fabric rim. Make it easy. The main condition is that the fabric must be elastic and stretch well.

Lightly moisten your hair with foam or mousse. Now you need to wear the bezel correctly. It should be located along the line of the forehead, and from the back lie a little higher than the back of the head. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that all hair is under the rim. In some cases, this cannot be achieved because the strands are too short.

Starting from the forehead, wind the locks on the rim. To do this, slightly pull the dressing itself and scroll the strand several times. Grab the next one and continue to wind up, moving to the back of the head. Now repeat the manipulation on the other side. On the back of the head, strands from different sides should connect.
