Hairstyle based on vertical curls - the perfect solution for weekday and holiday. To transform with their help, you do not need to go to the hairdresser. You can do this styling at home.
What is it and who is it for?
Vertical curls are a curl of strands in the form of a spiral. Such curls look great and spring beautifully during movement, drawing attention to the one whose head is decorated.
You can make them on the hair, which curl from nature, and on straight curls. The diameter of the curls can also be different.
It is advisable for owners of a narrow face to perform small spirals. In this case, curls should not be too elastic. If you choose large curls with these features, the face will appear even smaller and narrower than it is.
If the girl has a wide face and large features, it is better to choose a medium or large sized spiral of soft form. When the curls are wound too luxuriantly, this will not be a plus with such an appearance. For those who have an oval or round face, elastic curls are suitable.
Ways to create
You can wind vertical curls in a variety of ways - from using ordinary flagella to applying perm.
Natural perm on wet locks is the most harmless.
You can cope with it, having almost no experience in handling hair:
- curls need to be washed;
- pat dry with a towel;
- comb;
- separating strands of equal volume, twist into bundles and secure with elastic bands;
- when all the hair is wound, tie a head with a scarf and go to sleep;
- In the morning, dissolve the curls, disassemble by hand.
If you need a quick effect, you can use forceps at home. They are a special curling iron with a spiral "thread", which makes it possible to create curls that are ideally similar to each other. The curling iron heats the hair twisted along a previously “beaten path” and creates curls of the necessary shape. Unlike conventional curling irons, the spiral has no clamp. The end of the strand will have to be held with your fingers.
In order not to damage the hair during the process of spiral curling, you need to use a heating device with a ceramic rod, sprayed with titanium or tourmaline.
It is dangerous to use a curling iron made of metal that can burn hair rods.
With thin, soft strands, the device is heated to 100 degrees, If the hair is hard, poorly curled, warming up to 180 is not terrible.
The width of the strand is about 3 cm. It is combed and laid in a recess, heated, and then released. A curled curl is fixed with a clip. So go through the whole head.
For a change, you can use a curling iron in which the rod has the shape of a cone. Then the curl will be wide at the base and narrower at the end. If at hand there is only an ordinary curling iron, you can make curls so that each next strand overlaps slightly with the previous one. With this method of laying, the curls are less elastic. You also need to approach the creation of curls with special care, so as not to create creases from the clamp.
To make the hairstyle look natural, not reminiscent of a doll's head, vertical strands are slightly spread apart by fingers - this allows them to be slightly loosened and softened.
You can make spiral-shaped curls with the help of curlers having the corresponding shape of a cylinder, cone or uneven - thinner in the middle and wide at the edges. All of these varieties are otherwise referred to as whooping cough. They are created from wood or special types of plastic. The diameter of such devices is different. For hard hair, you need to use bobbins of large diameter, and for soft and thin - vice versa. Medium diameter curlers are suitable for not too stiff and at the same time thick hair.
You can’t sleep on such bobbins, or at least very difficult. They are too hard. In addition, they should not be used daily, so as not to spoil the hair. If the occasion is solemn - another matter.
Curl on these devices conveniently slightly damp locks. They are separated in equal parts, covered with a styling compound, inserted into a hole in the curlers and curled from the root, winding along a predetermined recess. In the end, it remains to fix all this with an elastic band.
Curling starts from the crown. It is difficult to twist strands on the back of the head. It is advisable that someone else help do this. Byougudi leave on your hair for several hours. You can speed up the process with a hairdryer.
If there is time to create a styling from vertical curls, you can use soft curlers more comfortable for the head, having the form of spring-covers. Using them is very simple. A special plastic hook is included. It is inserted into a fabric cover, which immediately straightens. Moistened strand crocheted through the cover. Due to this, the hair is inside and take a spiral shape.
In this manner all the strands are wound. A few hours later, beautiful elastic curls are obtained. Although you can spur this process with a hairdryer, as curlers let air through.
The guaranteed lasting result for obtaining spiral curls gives the so-called vertical chemistry. With her curls last up to six months. Hair styling daily will be much easier than when there is no chemistry on them. You can make such a curl at home. But for this you will have to use the help of another person. It is advisable that this be the one who knows how to handle bobbins cleverly and be able to evenly wind each strand.
For the procedure you need to choose the right day. Chemistry should not be done:
- during menstruation;
- if a woman is taking drugs with hormones;
- during pregnancy and lactation.
Before curling, you must definitely eat tight - if there is not enough heat in the body, chemical reactions on the hair are too slow. Also, according to many years of observations by hairdressers, a bad mood leads to the fact that chemical waving does not work.
To make chemistry, you have to attend to the purchase of several sets of whooping cough, a special set for perm. You will also need a hat made of polyethylene and rubber gloves.
Before you get down to business, they test for an allergic reaction. A drop of curling agent is applied to the bend of the elbow and wait 15 minutes. If the skin turns red and combed, you can not use the drug. If everything is in order, you can begin to create a "long-lasting beauty":
- you need to do chemistry on clean hair;
- apply a greasy cream along the hairline to protect the skin from chemicals;
- treat non-dried strands with a special lotion;
- divide hair into sectors;
- start work from the back of the head;
- wind the bobbin from the roots;
- after the “wrapping” is completed, treat the strands with a chemical composition;
- cover your head with a hat and stand for as long as specified in the instructions;
- rinse off;
- treat the head with a composition that stops the previous chemical reaction;
- rinse with normal water after 5 minutes;
- remove the curlers;
- dry curls without combing.
After chemistry, you can wash your head only after 3 days.
Each time after washing, they must not be squeezed. It is enough to squeeze wet strands with a towel. Also, hair needs to be treated from time to time with special serums and oil formulations. These measures will help keep the hairstyle beautiful, and the curls will last longer. To emphasize their beauty, you can wind the strands on the heat curlers.
However, you cannot
- go to bed with wet hair;
- dry them with hot air from a hair dryer;
- use a brush instead of a comb;
- create fleece;
- stain before 3 weeks have passed since the chemistry.
Take hair length into account
Whatever way vertical curls are created, they achieve a completely different external effect depending on the length of the hair. Such curls can be done on short strands, for example, when cutting a square. But it must be borne in mind that after this the hair will appear even shorter, since it will take the form of a spiral. In addition, the curls will be directed to the sides and up. In order not to create the impression of excessive pomp of such a styling, as if the owner of short curls “had an electric shock”, it is recommended to curl the strands not too shallow. It is also advisable to use curlers, not a curler.
It is more convenient to twist the hair that is medium in length. They hold their shape best, especially if they are properly secured with a fixing compound. But the long ones risk not curling completely, since the length of the bobbin may not be enough. In addition, under the weight of the hair, the curls straighten faster.
How to fix the styling?
So that the curls do not lose their elegant appearance for a long time and remain elastic, it is required to fix them with suitable styling means. In addition, the achievement of a long-term effect depends on the type of hair.
For long thick, it is convenient to use foam. It is suitable for thin, and if it is applied to such strands, then in the end you can do without varnish.
As for the hairspray itself, medium thin fixation is used on thin strands twisting into light curls. With it, the hairstyle will last well for about 4 hours. Heavy, thick hair can be held in position by a means of strong and super strong fixation.
When using a fixing gel, you need to take into account that it makes thin curls harder. If you use mousse on such hair, they will look more voluminous.
When applying a fixing agent, you still need to know the measure.
When there is too much mousse on the hair, they look unnatural.
If the hairstyle is done on the basis of perm, you can use mousse, wax and foam to fix it, but varnish in this case can not be used.
