How to make graceful small curls?

Curly hair inherited from ancestors is truly a gift from God. They are extraordinary, shrews, curl in different directions, they are difficult to style, they are difficult to comb. Despite all the difficulties, for many centuries women with straight hair twisted their own curls of various shapes, in accordance with the fashion of their time. And the XXI century also did not pass by the fashion for curls of different styles, from small afro to short hair to large Hollywood to long and medium. Curls do not suit everyone - they add a significant amount and not every face shape adorns.

Small curls are an excellent option for tall slender young ladies with a thin face shape and thin features, with naughty vortices from nature, with long or medium length hair. Properly selected styling will help turn thin hair into a luxurious mane, which will save styling until the next wash.

Curls categorically do not decorate a person with a round face and large features. They visually expand the oval, increasing it. Curls up to the shoulder blades and above are suitable for small growth - a voluminous hairstyle will spoil the miniature proportions. The owner of such a hairstyle will look thicker and lower.

Short-haired curls adorn oval and diamond-shaped faces. Poor fit with square and round. They focus on the forehead and ears, not reaching the chin and neck, thereby visually weighting the upper part.

A triangular shape is ideal for wavy hair.

Curls will be obtained with a length of at least three centimeters so that the hair wraps around the finger. You can build curls at home in various ways.

You can curl curls by braiding pigtails. This is the most sparing method, working since those times when there were no modern devices. The process of such a curl is quite simple.

1. Wash your hair with warm water using a mask or balm. Hair will become obedient. Comb thoroughly to get rid of lumps.
2. From clean, wet, and preferably wet hair, we allocate locks.
3. We weave tight pigtails, and fix them with ribbons. We grab the ends with elastic bands. For stronger fixation on dried braids, spray hair foam. The thinner the locks, the smaller the curls, and the more curls.
4. Keep at least three hours, and preferably all night.
5. When spreading your fingers without the help of a comb, do not push the spirals. If the hairs of them are puffed, treat with varnish or gel.
6. If you comb the braids into curls, the volume of the hairstyle will increase and create an aura of curly locks, like a lion's mane.

The disadvantages of this method are the waiting time; if weaving constantly, tight pigtails increase brittle hair. With a restless dream, the pigtails will disinfect. Not suitable for short-cut curls.

When forming curls not from the roots, we collect wet hair in a high tail and braid spikelets.

Small curlers or whooping cough help to create small curls at home.

1. We apply a foam with a fixing effect on wet hair.
2. We divide the mop into parts - 2 temporal, anterior-parietal and occipital. We fix with clamps, facilitating the work.
3. From the sector, select a thin strand and twist from the tip of the curl to the roots. All locks are wound in one direction. Using the vertical spinning method, we get random, chaotic spirals, while horizontal - falling down.

Strands of the same diameter, wind up very tight. The hairstyle is neat. Badly twisted ends are fixed with a hair wax applied to the little finger.

If the volume at the roots is not needed, hair of medium length and long is wound, not reaching the roots. Leave to dry or dry with a hairdryer diffuser. Then hold for 2-3 hours. Using our fingers, we lubricate the waves with gel, simulating the direction and floridity. Actual for short haircuts

Using electric or thermal hair curlers, do not unwind until the latter cools.

The disadvantage of this method is the duration. When using at night, it is better to use curlers made of polyurethane or foam rubber for a comfortable sleep.

Curling iron and electric tongs coated with titanium, tourmaline or ceramic, with a heating regulator, will help to easily wind curls. This is an express method.

Cone curling iron is easy to use. For small waves, choose a diameter of 1.3-2 centimeters. There are nozzles on them of different diameters for different texture of curls:

1. 18-20 millimeters - you get small retro curls;
2. 13-15 millimeters - curlers, similar to natural;
3. 10 millimeters is a fluffy ball of small curls suitable for short strands.

Thermally protective composition is applied to clean, dried hair. We divide the hair into sectors. We begin to curl from the back of the head, keeping the lock for 10 seconds. Gently pull the device out of the curl without breaking the spiral.

Ironing has the same process. It is universal for a mop of any length. Slightly departing from the roots, grab the strands and, rotating the device, glide along the curl, not pressing hard on it. We get a uniform curl. When using the corrugation nozzle, we get a shallow wave, compressed fragmentary along the entire length. The look of curls looks like a neat result of the penultimate stage of straightening curls.

After treating the entire head with a little gutted curls, sprinkled with varnish to fix. Especially topical in wet and rainy weather.

You can simulate curls without curling, using the objects at hand.

There are no devices for curling at hand, but there are devices for stabbing hair - make spirals with them. We comb the washed and dried hair well, grease them with a fixative.We wrap a thin strand on a hairpin with a zigzag, and pin the resulting design to the root area. The thinner the locks, the less curls. We start the wrap from the lower layers of the head, and go up.

We stand for 2 hours, better longer. After unwinding, we spread the spirals with our hands to give elegant negligence.

An old-fashioned way to get small curls is curling on papillots (as the French call a small bundle of fabric or paper). We take a flap and cut into narrow ribbons, about 5-6 centimeters in length. We wet it and wring it. The end of the strand is fixed with a fabric knot and wound, like on curlers, the resulting knot at the roots is fixed with a bow to make it easy to remove. Dry curlers spin.

There is no suitable fabric, we take cooking foil, cut into strips 2.5-3 centimeters wide and with a length equal to the length of the hair. Fold the length of the paper twice with an accordion. We fix at the roots by bending the foil. We wrap the wet future curl around the sides of the foil, lacing them very tightly. We fix on the end with rubber bands, clips or threads. Keep the strands completely dry. We take out the foil, construct the curls with our hands.

There is absolutely nothing at hand - there is a solution. We take a strong thread. Her piece, folded in half, is slightly longer than her hair. We tie the middle of the thread at the base of the future curl and twist it into a bundle. Gradually, a spiral forms along the length of the curl, which is collected in a bob on the head. Fasten by twisting the ends of the thread. Such hoots are done all over the head.

Suitable for short and medium-sized shocks. On long ones, they look messy. Kucheryashki turn out to be voluminous.

A very creative approach - pencil spirals, cocktail tubes, chopsticks for Asian food. Allows you to twist the spirals on any cylinder or cone. Slightly dried strands, grease with styling compounds. We wind it on an object and iron it with tongs.

We use a tube according to the scenario of a pencil. We bend the tip and twist the curl tightly around it. We bend the bottom a couple of centimeters higher and fix it with a hairpin. Leave for 2-3 hours or all night. But it’s uncomfortable to sleep with tubes on the head.

It is easy to wind curls with your own hands. Separate thin locks from the mop, apply foam or gel to fix it. We twist on 1, 2, or 3 fingers, which form the coarseness of the curls. Carefully remove the finger from the curl and fix it with a clip. Very suitable for short hair.

A sloppy hairstyle made with an elastic band is quite popular. We moisturize the hair, collect with a tourniquet, fix it with an elastic band and wait for drying. The resulting careless, ideal waves are fixed with varnish.

You can quickly wind light, careless, large curls hair diffuser or hair dryer.

The foam or mousse applied to clean hair is divided into identical bundles. We lower the head down and lay one at a time in a round nozzle with fingers. Dry by removing and bringing it closer to the head. We do this with the whole shock. It is advisable to strengthen the resulting curls with varnish.

Instead of a diffuser, we use a round comb. For brushing, we wind a curl over the entire length of the curl and dry using a nozzle - an air supply concentrator.

The hair dryer with a rotating round brush, which tightens the curl while drying it, completely eases the task. We put a curl on the brush and dry it first with hot, then with cold air. We remove the curl with our hands, in the absence of automatic rotation. Large curls turn out.

Many varnishes, foams, mousses, sprays help to save the created creation.

Hair with a fine structure is strengthened with foam of different fixation in any styling, and curls are no exception. It contains polymers that make your curls elastic without sticking them together.

1. Apply wet foam evenly to wet hair. At will, dry and blow dry them, or let them dry naturally, forming waves with your hands. And you can twist them moist into a tourniquet, forming careless curls.
2. Apply foam on the comb and gently comb the moist mop. Dry hair by twisting on curlers, or in any other way.
3. To refresh the hairstyle, apply foam to the scallop and spend several times on dry curls.

For oily scalp it is better to use a spray that does not grease the hair. It retains the most intricate styling:

1. having modeled the desired image, spray a spray or varnish from a distance of 20 centimeters;
2. To form wavy hair, first apply varnish, then make curls.

Beeswax with mineral additives helps to cope with a thick shock. It will give shine and fix styling.

It is applied to the dried strands, warming up between the palms, distributing along the length. Regular use solves split ends.

And a few more recommendations from experts.

1. With a wet head during sleep, it is advisable to wear a hat. She will keep her hair healthy.
2. Foam, mousse, wax is best applied to wet hair. They will protect them from the adverse effects of temperature during installation.
3. When creating vertical spirals with curlers, end their torsion closer to the root.
4. Frequent use of curling iron dries curls. They look untidy and chaotic. It is necessary to moisturize and nourish them with masks, especially with hot and perm.
5. Creating curls at home, do not try to make them graphic. They are unnatural, and the lungs will be organic in the chosen styling.
