In order to create beautiful natural curls, use several methods. Let us dwell on the most common.

It is believed that this tool is used to straighten hair, but nevertheless, you can make pretty cute curls with it, and the wider the iron, the larger the waves.

The execution technique is very simple. To begin with, a strand is separated from the hair with a thin comb, clamped at the roots and gently lead down to the very tip of the hair, slightly bending from the bottom. The iron does not need to be clamped too tightly to prevent creases and not to violate the internal structure of the hair shaft.

After the entire styling is completely ready, you can sprinkle it with fixing varnish, and to make the hair a little more fluffy, you can pre-beat the mop with your fingers or gently walk through the curls with a brush.

Everything is simple here - thin strands need to be clamped near the tip with forceps and wound, then hold for several minutes. Curling is done from the roots and towards the tips, in this case the waves are smooth. Usually use large curling irons with a diameter of 25 to 35 mm - curls in this case are formed of medium size, To create more voluminous curls, you should choose larger devices.

Whooping cough is an ideal option that allows you to create quite large curls without damaging your hair, this is a good alternative to perm, the effect of which can last a couple of days.

In order to wind the curls in this way, you should separate the locks, comb them and, keeping them taut, wrap the curlers inward. The roller is fixed as close to the root zone.

After your head is wound, you can either wait until the hair dries naturally, or blow dry it with a hairdryer.

The variety of curls, which will be the result, largely depends on the selected type of whooping cough.

• Velcro - This is the most convenient type of curlers that are optimally suitable for the formation of soft and fairly elastic curls, while holding such a styling for quite a long time. Velcro can be used on any type of hair, their undoubted advantage is that they do not worsen the condition of the hair.

• Thermo curlers - these devices are preheated, as a rule, in boiling water, then quickly wound onto dry, preferably clean, strands with a heat-protective styling agent applied.Such bobbins are kept on the head until they cool, and then carefully removed. At the exit, you can get shiny smooth waves, but the effect of them is extremely short-lived, especially on soft and thinned strands.

• Boomerangs - these curlers are good for winding and aging at night, they are suitable for all kinds of hair, while the curls are natural, and the hairstyle lasts quite a long time.

• Spirals - such devices are a rather unusual spiral case; individual wet locks are drawn into it using a special hook. As they dry, they take on the desired shape.

• Velvet curlers and whooping cough have a special coating that prevents tangling of strips and damage to their structure. Such curlers keep their shape perfectly, and the curls come out quite large and beautiful.

• Plastic curlers with clamps it’s quite difficult to fix it on your own, you need some skill here. Curls are soft and very voluminous, the shape holds for a long time.

To achieve textured curls, you can use a special nozzle for a hairdryer - a diffuser. Keep in mind: the shorter the curls, the smaller should be its "tentacles".

Wet hair is slightly dried with a towel, then apply foam or mousse. The hair thus prepared is laid in a diffuser and begins to dry, then drawing closer, then moving away with springy movements, the locks should be wound on the “fingers” with nozzles during the procedure.

This method of obtaining curls is well known to everyone who at least once did a professional styling in the cabin. In order for you to repeat it at home, you will need a round brush of large diameter, as well as a hairdryer and a preparation for thermal protection.

To begin with, thin strands are separated and, gradually leading from the roots towards the tips, curls are wound, “watching” it with a hairdryer. The slower the movement, the more spectacular and large the curls come out.

Another interesting option that allows you to create beautiful and even curls, but so that the hair at the same time looked a little careless. To do this, apply mousse for styling on slightly wet hair, divide it into separate strands, while the thinner each individual strand is, the finer the curls.

The strand is twisted into a tight tourniquet and fixed with a hairpin. When all hair is collected it remains only to dry them in sushuar, dissolve and sprinkle with varnish.

You can use any of the methods for curling hair into elastic curls, but it is important to know some of the limitations of using each of them.

So, for brittle and split strands, ironing and curling irons are not suitable - they suggest a prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which can only aggravate the already deplorable state of hair.

If you do not want to expose your curls to hot styling, it is better to use curlers or the method of flagella. Both options suggest a long drying of the strands, if you need to get a spectacular hairstyle quickly - it is better to give preference to curling and ironing.

The choice of a tool largely depends on the curls of what shape you want to receive.

The cone curler will help here. It is necessary to warm it up to 200-220 degrees, and then wind the strands from the thick end of the cone in the direction of its pointed part. To create pronounced curls, you can additionally walk along the finished curls with a comb with long rare cloves.

Many women are faced with a situation where beautifully curled curls simply do not rest on their hair and quickly straighten. This usually happens for several reasons:

• naughty hair by nature;
• the use of low-quality or inappropriate curling styling products;
• the use of incorrect methods of winding curls.

Thin hair, especially if it is also rare, is quite difficult to style. In order to cope with such a problem, you need to strengthen curls with special nutritional preparations and take care of your hair as carefully as possible. With curling, girls with hard thick hair are often tormented. To create a styling that will stay on your hair for a couple of days, you need to use special emollients.

• Powder - this composition will help to refresh the styling, if, for example, you need to go to a youth party or a festive event in the evening after work. The powder is applied to the hair with massaging movements, as a result, the curls become textural and shiny.
