Corrugation for basal volume: types, features of choice and application

Corrugated tongs are not the invention of the last decade. Such devices were quite popular in the 90s of the last century, only a fan of those hairstyles, effects, techniques, which they helped to create, became the achievement of recent years. A special popularity of curling iron began to be used by lovers of basal volume: it turned out that the "wavy iron" copes well with this task.

The curling iron resembles a regular iron, which women (and men, too, happen) line the hair. And the principle of using the tool for hair is the same. Here are just metal or ceramic plates corrugated wavy ribbed. Clamping a separate strand into two such ribbed plates, we get wavy hair at the exit.

Many women use corrugation for basal volume: sometimes it is even difficult to understand that it was the instrument that created such a spectacular volume. Due to the coverage of a small area of ​​hair, it is impossible to make them noticeably wavy at the roots, so the effect is quite natural. And the most important thing is that it is persistent: usually stays at least a day.

Since the use of such devices have become very active, technologists decided to improve the tool - to make it less harmful to hair. There is no secret that heat exposure for curls destructive. And even the preparations of thermal protection are not able to fully protect the strands from heat.

Therefore, more and more often corrugation curtains are made with the use of a tourmaline-ceramic coating: it is believed that they are less harmful to hair. Those who deny any electrical appliances for hair, considering them to be unconditional aggression, may be wrong: if you create hair at the roots to create volume at the roots, fill it with varnish, they suffer more than the effect of the ironing.

Like other cosmetics and tools, the iron for giving the basal volume has its drawbacks and advantages. Let us dwell on the main advantages of the device.

• It is extremely easy to use. If you have seen how the masters are treating him in the cabin, there may be a feeling that you can’t so wisely curry a curling iron. Nothing like this. Anyone can create a volumetric hairstyle or volume at the roots with the help of an ironing-knurling. Today, even ladies of venerable age acquire such a device: they also leave their hairs at the roots as superfluous after trying to increase the volume with the help of forceps.
• Persistence Waves along the entire length remain active for two or three days (depending on the structure of the hair). At the roots, the effect persists for at least a day, but this is not the final option, because one day is a minimum of stamina.
• The ability to change the texture of the hair, even very thin and weakened. Such curling irons became a real lifesaver for women, who all their lives looked at enviously at the luxuriant-looking beauties. They had already come to terms with their mouse tail, as it turned out that their hair can be decently transformed. By the way, of these wavy hairs increased in volume, chic, thick braids are woven around.
• A large number of styling options. You can simply lift the hair at the roots, making your image precise, complete, you can curl them along the entire length.You can select individual strands, make the desired texture of the hair with the help of ironing, create a base for future weaving.
• Cost The iron is not that equipment on which it is necessary to postpone from each salary. Most buyers are able to purchase the device without significant losses to the budget.

But without flaws, of course, not done. If you constantly use the device, the hair becomes dry, split. Those who regularly use the curling iron, should have a special program to care for their hair. If you bought the cheapest iron, most likely, the coating there will not be the best, which means that your hair is under impact. Manufacturers of modern devices try to modernize models.

Every year the quality of appliances for daily use is really growing. All new coatings are invented that protect the hair as much as possible, while keeping warm well. But it is also important that the plates do not break when hit or fall.

With the help of an ironing, you can make the curls very lush with small waves or you can form large waves on the strands, you can select individual strands or absolutely every hair subjected to heat treatment. Choosing the iron, you can buy a model with interchangeable plates-nozzles, you can buy a simpler model that does not imply options.

Criteria for distinguishing devices are as follows:

• size of the relief surface itself - small, large, medium corrugation;
• surface width - Curls are narrow and wide;
• curling ribs - there are smooth, and there are zizgag-like;
• equipment - as already mentioned, there are removable plates to the instrument or not, the number of sides with a ribbed surface (both plates or only one).

Different curling irons differ in the material from which the plates are made.

• Metal. These are the cheapest tongs that everyone can afford. But for daily use, they are not recommended - too aggressive. Plus is a good wear resistance, fast heating, fast fixation of the waves. But it dries the hair such curling seriously.
• Teflon. Not a bad option, because the interaction with the hair is optimal. Hair does not dry, but the material itself is easily scratched.
• Ceramics. The coating is very good, but you should not use such curling without a break. Hair does not harm, but the material itself is damaged easily - broken, scratched.
• Tourmaline. The strongest and surely safe. It combines well with ceramics. The degree of wear resistance is high, even the maximum degree of heating is not dangerous, but its cost is decent.

Modern models have a good option - they are equipped with a heat indicator. And then there are irons with the ionization function (the device is capable of emitting particles with a negative charge). What it is for: brittle and split hair becomes stronger, scales at their ends stick together. Visually, it heals the hair.

Perhaps it will take longer to tinker with such a device, but the effect is usually more noticeable: the hair is seriously added in volume. Such irons advise girls and women with thin hair, obedient. It is very good if the curling iron is wide along the length of the nozzle.

This option is purchased most often. The texture on the hair is interesting, even and clear. Usually keeps the effect of this hairstyle for at least two days. And if all hair is subjected to the action of curling-corrugation with medium waves, it can be expected that with daily braiding of a spit or spike, the effect of the forceps will not go away for five days.

Today, curls are not in fashion, but waves. If long hair is laid in such waves, it looks modern and very beautiful.The curlers here will not help much, the perm is not suitable for various reasons, but the iron helps perfectly.

Ratings always collect a lot of controversy and reasoning. They really can not be one hundred percent, objective, but they serve as some guide for the buyer. Styler which company to choose, tell the rating list. Consider the best manufacturers pleyk-corrugation.

• BabyLiss. This brand cares about reputation, so it really tries to improve the coating of the plates. It is very easy to create a basal volume with such an iron. The plates heat up evenly, the device has built-in protection against overheating. It costs about 4.5 thousand rubles.

• Tek. These forceps are highly durable and reliable. These are professional devices, they are used by stylists and hairdressers. In shape they seem strange, but the triangular shape of the iron helps to quickly create the desired effect. It costs about 5 thousand rubles.

• Harizma. Inexpensive product that helps to lay the hair along the entire length, and also to make strictly the basal volume. They do not dry hair, do not overheat, protect curls from electrification. Included with some models are thermal protection mats. The price is relatively small - 2 thousand rubles.

• Dewal. A good budget option. The best effect will be all the same on thick hair. The model can be bought for 1.5 thousand rubles.

• Erika. The plates of these tongs are with an ideal tourmaline-ceramic coating. Due to this, the hair does not electrify when winding. Interestingly, the manufacturer has provided silicone inserts for the fingers - the risk of getting burned out is excluded. It costs about 3 thousand rubles.

You can buy something inexpensive and try it - suddenly all the same corrugation is not your styling method, because you don’t want to spend a lot of money on what will eventually gather dust in the nightstand. Choosing the iron, pay attention to its quality.

It happens that straightened or twisted wave hair in a barbershop makes the client delighted, but when she gets a hair straightener home, she tries to do this styling herself, nothing of the kind happens.

You can order the product in the online store, if you are sure that the general information about the ironing is enough for you to have it. Nevertheless, most buyers want to consider the thing, touch it, evaluate it "by eye". In addition, the seller must give a guarantee to answer all questions of the service.

When choosing a curtain, evaluate several criteria.

• Power. Professional devices have a maximum power of 100 watts, but this choice is not always good. If you have an old wiring at home, such a strong device can harm it. The optimal choice of electric pliers is 45–60 W. But a curling iron, whose power is less than 40 W, is not worth buying - you get tired of waiting until it warms up.
• Thermostat The function is optional, but good when it is. The function helps to reduce the intensity of heating. The regulator can be electronic and mechanical (the latter is not so convenient, but more reliable).
• Overheat protection. This is also a built-in option, the automatic shutdown of the device is configured in case of overheating.
• Comfortable body design. Narrow forceps are often uncomfortable because you do not know how to hold them correctly. The case must necessarily be thick: thin, despite the attractive elegance, it will be quite unattractive to heat up with the plates. If there is a special support in the kit for the curling iron, as an additional thermal protection, fine.
• Cord length Of course, a small cord is often a big problem. Therefore, the purchase is not on the Internet and more profitable: you can evaluate the length of the cord itself, see if it is enough for you.
• Coating. As already noted, the ceramic tourmaline coating is the most advantageous.
• The size. Someone fit mini-tongs: if you are going to do only the basal volume, this is a very convenient option. They can be put in a handbag, they won't take up much space, but they will help out in the right situation.

Of course, look at the warranty period - at least six months, no less. Ask the seller what to do if the forceps fail, where to call, whether to bring them to the store, and so on. If you have short hair, pay attention to the model with a wide working plate. If you know that you like to experiment with styling, take a model with a set of nozzles: today is a small wave, tomorrow is bigger and so on.

Finally, how to make with the help of "wavy" tongs laying itself. I am glad that a lot of options. But start with the basal volume as the basis for creating different hairstyles. In order to properly make the basal volume, you must adhere to the following instructions step by step:

• wash your hair, apply thermal protection agent to your hair, comb dried hair;
• dry your head in the usual way (by hair dryer or naturally);
• turn on the curler, wait until the device reaches the desired temperature;
• divide the curls into several parts - how much depends on the thickness of the hair; fasten for convenience with clips;
• start to wind them from the bottom, gradually move upwards;
• pryadochka gently clamp between the plates at the roots of the hair, without touching the skin; indentation from the skin - 1 cm;
• step by step, grab and repeat actions with each strand; do not touch only the upper and those located near the face;
• forceps can not be held long on one strand;
• it is not necessary to fix the laying with varnish, but it is possible to pre-apply mousse on the roots;
• Since the hair is regularly exposed to thermal effects, do not forget to arrange special care for them (with restoration means, with softening balms, and so on).

Once a week or 10 days, be sure to comb and rehabilitate hair. You must choose the essential oil that best suits your hair type. Apply a small amount of it on the curls, then about 40-60 times brush the hair. Hold the oil composition on the strands for 20 minutes, rinse thoroughly.

If you are interested in not only the volume at the roots, you can make a classic ponytail with a curling-curling. So you can give your hair not just extra volume, but double, or even triple. And all this is at home. For this, all the hair will have to be screwed onto a curler (it will take a lot of time). But the tail will turn out just luxurious. The next day, you can twist it into a braid, or even better, a spikelet. In a word, the results of the process of winding all the hair on the curling-ripple can be used up to five days.

It is worth considering how to be girls with bangs. And in such a situation, you can get out. For example, take and twist the hair all over the head, without touching the top and bangs. Top strands well straighten.

Girls love to share their beauty experience: tell them which tools help them look their best, highlight their strengths, and reduce shortcomings. If you make a review of the forums regarding the use of pleyok-corrugation, you get a good cut: and it will help those who have not yet decided whether to use this option. Authors of reviews often note such positive moments as:

• Plyoka-corrugation allows you to create volume quickly, without the use of a large number of styling tools
• With the help of the basal volume created by the curling iron, you can easily change the overall image of the hairstyle, making it harmonious, symmetrical;
• styling lasts for several days, which is convenient for those who do not want to stand for a long time every morning by the mirror;
• if the curling iron has removable plates, you can use different options for festive, evening, everyday styling;
• The cost of curling is completely paying off.

Of the minuses, which are also noted by the authors of reviews, the negative impact of heat treatment of hair leads. While it is impossible to completely protect the locks from it, but good thermal protective agents minimize the damage from the appliance. Not so rarely see the information that the plates ironing fragile, often broken. This suggests that the product should be used with caution, not to leave it in places of potential mechanical injury.

Traced in the reviews and this information: after frequent use of curling on the hair remains "corrugated" trace. Even with frequent shampooing hair as if getting used to the new texture. And when you want to get rid of this waviness, it still comes through. Professionals from hairdressers such a complaint is familiar. In most cases, she says that the woman too often uses tongs-bumps. This can not be done: the device is not suitable for daily use, no matter how attractive this idea may seem.

In general, the number of positive reviews is several times higher than the number of negative ones. Women note that the problem of the lack of the necessary volume at the roots has for a long time prevented them from creating a solid, confident image, as if something was missing in their hair. And all attempts to create volume with a comb and varnish led to disappointment.

The women say that with the help of curling hair with the effect of wavy hair, they were finally able to realize their other dream: to often weave voluminous braids. If the natural volume is insufficient, the braid looks more like a “mouse tail,” after processing the strands with a curling curl, the mass of hair increases. Almost any weaving on such curls look beautiful, and often just gorgeous.

Lovers of the ironing with the effect of shirring are recognized: if they did not dare to let go of the hair before, as they are too thin and inconspicuous, then the “magic” curling hair inspired them to grow the braid.

Cherry on the cake in the accolades was the fact that the creation of the desired volume does not take much time. To lift the hair at the roots, you do not need to get up at 5 am: getting used to the procedure, half an hour is enough even for very thick hair (we are talking only about the root zone). And given the fact that the effect is persistent, time costs seem ridiculous. To dispel doubts will help only one way - you just need to buy a curling iron.

For a start, you can go to the hairdresser, ask a specialist to make you such a basal volume: if you like the result in the mirror, it's time to take a way on home armament.
