Who are they going to?
Careless curls are a very popular hairstyle, but it will not suit everyone.

Ways
There are many ways to create careless waves at home. All these methods can be divided into two types: thermal and non-thermal. The first type involves exposure to hair with high temperature using various devices for creating curls. The advantage of this method is that the curling process takes less time, and its minus is the negative effect of temperature on the strands. If you often resort to this method of creating careless curls, then over time the hair structure becomes thinner, the strands become brittle and split.
The second method is good in that it is more gentle on the hair and can be used more often than the first. It is presented not only in the form of using curlers, but also in many life hacks, allowing you to achieve curls of various shapes. The disadvantage of this styling option is its time cost, especially when it comes to long hair.
To make curls using curlers, you first need to wash your hair and also dry it lightly so that it stays slightly moist. If you want to make large curls, the diameter of the papillot should be at least 3 centimeters.
Then you should separate the strands that do not exceed the width of the curlers, apply a styling product, for example, foam or mousse, and wrap each strand around the papillot in the direction from the ends to the roots. When the strands taken into the curls are completely dry, you can remove the papillots, slightly beat the hair with your hands and fix the result.
So that the curls do not look doll-like, namely, carelessly, the strands can be divided with your fingers and even shake your head a couple of times, so that the result looks more natural.
Note that the length of hair laid in this way will decrease, especially if you fix the curlers at the root itself. Based on the desired result, as well as the initial length of the hair, place the curlers at a suitable distance from the roots. Often the root zone or hair in the crown area is simply lifted with a hair dryer, and the curls begin lower so as not to sacrifice the length of the hair.
A very simple option to create careless curls without compromising the length of the strands is to use a hairdryer with a diffuser - a special nozzle with which you can influence the volume and structure of hair during the drying process. Before performing this procedure, the hair should be slightly dried naturally. Then they should be treated with a fixative, starting from the roots and along the entire length and combed with a comb with rare teeth.
Next, tilt your head down a little and start blow drying your hair with a diffuser. Particular attention should be paid to the basal areas on the top of the head, as well as the facial area. Further, passing the diffuser along the entire length, you will create a slight negligence. This method is most convenient for not very thick hair, length up to the shoulders or short strands.
But if your curls are light, then with the help of a diffuser you can also transform medium hair.
Follow non-thermal methods for creating light careless waves for long-haired young ladies worth a try. When the clean hair has dried, you need to comb it thoroughly, and then collect it in one or more bundles on the back of the head. The strands near the neck and those that frame the face must be released and twisted separately, fixed with studs. After a few hours, having opened the beam, you will see waves that look quite natural, and you can add carelessness to them by lightly whipping the hair with your fingers.
If you have not very long and light hair, then you can collect them for the night or several hours under a blindfold. Pass the head through the bandage, then spread the ends of the hair over it and bend the bandage evenly until it locks onto the head. Before this, hair can be slightly sprinkled with water. After some time, you will get chic waves, while having a slight negligence.
Another way to make sloppy curls at home with heat treatment is to use an ironing or curling iron.
- Wash your hair and then make a moisturizing and nourishing mask. This will prepare the hair for direct temperature effects.
- Wait for the hairstyle to become dry naturally. Apply a special heat-protective spray to it.
- Select the appropriate heating temperature for the rectifier, if it has such a function. If the hair is thin, then it should be from 100 to 120 degrees; for normal, a temperature of 150 -160 degrees is suitable. Those girls whose hair has a dense and tough texture can heat the iron to 180 or even 200 degrees.
- Separate a small strand and place it between the plates of the curling iron, then twist them.
If you want the effect of light careless waves, make a small number of revolutions in the vertical direction.
