On stiff hair, even light curls are more difficult to hold, especially if styling products have a low degree of fixation. Namely, such a degree is used in means for a wet effect. Therefore, for this type, smooth styling, pronounced or slightly pronounced, is more suitable.

1. At the preparatory stage, you need to wash and dry your head in a convenient way. You should pay attention to the condition of the hair. If they look dull, then from the middle to the ends it is worth applying a care product that gives a healthy shine. It can be a spray or oil.
2. All hair is pulled back and parted. If there is a bang, it must also be combed back.
3. Gel is applied to the top of the head with a brush or hands. The amount of gel should be such as to form a bright gloss on the surface of the hairstyle.
4. By the area of ​​application of the gel, you need to conduct a single-row large comb to create a texture.
5. Using a hairdryer with a nozzle-concentrator, at a low blowing speed, the gel should be slightly dried, directing it from the base to the tips.

This styling takes longer, since it implies volume at the roots of the hair. The main stage has minor differences.

1. Heat-protected spray is applied to well-washed and slightly towel-dried hair.
2. With the help of a hairdryer and brushing, the hair is laid in a straight and voluminous hairdo at the roots. The basal volume should be slightly fixed with styling.
3. All hair is carefully laid back.
4. On a single-row large comb, a little gel is applied and distributed through the hair from the base to the middle.

The result should be a styling with a very light wet effect.

This is the most popular way to create hairstyles. It is performed on straight, soft hair.

1. Clean washed hair should be slightly wrung out with a towel.
2. Shaking the can with mousse thoroughly, turn it over and squeeze the required amount onto the palm. Squeeze the mousse upside down so that no gas escapes from the cylinder. The diameter of the extruded ball is about 3 cm for short hair, about 5 cm for medium, and about 7 cm for long.
3. Next, the product is applied to the comb with large teeth and distributed through the hair. It should be noted that the mousse should be applied, 1-2 cm away from the roots of the hair.
4. To make the curls more effective, you need to set the desired dynamics on your wet hair with your hands. With springy movements, the strands should be squeezed in the palms from the ends along the entire length, as if crumpling them. On medium and long hair, it is better to bend the head down and make movements with both hands from the bottom up.
5. The final fixation of the result is carried out with a hairdryer with a diffuser nozzle. Each strand is neatly placed in the nozzle bowl and dried at a weak or medium blowing speed. Laying is also best done with your head down. Then the hairstyle will gain volume.
6. As soon as all the strands are dry, they need to be carefully laid out on the head with your hands.

The more obedient and less rigid hair, the stronger the curls will turn out. But even with a faint curl, the hairstyle will look stylish.

Smooth hairstyles with a wet effect are not suitable for curly hair due to a number of difficulties that can arise at different stages of styling. And the result is not so impressive. The above styling with mousse is ideal for this type of hair. The hairstyle is voluminous, and the curls are structured. Mousse in such a laying can be replaced with another laying means, for example, foam or spray.

Styling here may be different, but Results may vary.

1. A styling agent (spray, gel, mousse, varnish or wax) is applied to wet hair
2. The head is dried in a natural way. During this period, springy movements need to wrinkle the strands, giving the curls a greater curl. For a uniform result, you can twist the hair into flagella or curlers and wait until they dry.
3. At the last stage, the strands must be disassembled into separate curls.

This hairstyle emphasizes the beauty of curly hair and looks natural. But not only the structure determines the choice of styling technique, but also the length of the hair.

On curly hair, wet styling is easy to do, regardless of length. In this case, the result looks approximately the same. With straight hair, things are different. On long hair, options for smooth hairstyles with gel application only on the upper hair zone look good.

For a short haircut, a smooth hairstyle is created with a parting and applying the gel along the entire length. In this embodiment, the hair must be combed from the parting along the line of their growth. Another option is a voluminous tousled styling with a chaotic direction of the strands. In this styling, mousse is used for volume on stiff hair, and with the help of wax on the ends of the strands the direction is set.

On the average length for a wet effect, it is better to choose a wavy styling to make the hairstyle look more natural.

To achieve the best results when styling hair of any length, you can not be afraid of experiments. It is necessary to try different styling products, take into account their features, select the optimal amount of applied product. Proper styling revitalizes the face, sets a special rhythm for the image and uplifts the mood.
