Hairstyles with corrugated strands always look beautiful and unbanal. They do not look like ordinary curls, while creating additional volume and keep their shape well. They can be done in the cabin, and you can - at home. The method is simple and effective.
What it is?
Corrugation - a wave that makes the hair with a special ironing. Waves can be both small and large, their size depends on the nozzle.
You can make corrugated strands on absolutely any hair length, including short ones. If you want to change the look of your hairstyle for a while, grooving can be the perfect way to do it.
Who is suitable?
Fine corrugation is better for soft hair, and with the help of coarse, it is possible to structure and arrange tight thick strands.
Corrugation looks good on any shade of hair - and light, and dark, and red, and the most exotic.
You can make grooves on loose hair, and you can collect already curled strands into bunches, fasten them with stealth, put them under the hoop.
As a rule, corrugated hair is better placed in the hair, especially non-rigid in its structure.
If you have a haircut with straight bangs - it can be corrugated only if you plan to remove it under the bezel or lay back. Otherwise, it should be laid as usual. If the bang is oblique, it can be easily laid with the help of forceps along with the rest of the strands.
Necessary tools
In order to make a corrugation, you need special forceps-iron. They are almost the same as those intended for straightening the strands, but they have corrugated tips. Often these nozzles are sold with irons-straighteners.
There are forceps that are protected from overheating. This means that in case of strong heating, the device will turn itself off.
The ionization function involves exposing the hair to negative ions, reducing static electricity and, as a result, reducing harm to hair.
Using forceps is easy, the vast majority of models are equipped with convenient handles, eliminating the possibility of accidental burn.
And also you will need:
- thermal protection agent (it is better to choose one that does not make hair sticky, it will remain imperceptible);
- styling mousse or foam, if your hair does not hold the hair without “doping” or needs an artificially created volume (in this case, you need to dry the hair with the chosen styling means, and then proceed to the shirring).
To create a hairstyle with shirring hair, you need to follow a number of rules.
- Any electric tool harms the hair, so before starting the curl, you should apply thermal protection to the strands. It may be a spray, mousse or other means. It will help minimize the harm done.
- Hair should be dry. If you handle wet strands with tongs, you can burn and damage them.
- Hair "corrugation" is created step by step, one at a time. Keep the forceps clamped in one place strands need no more than 6-7 seconds. It is better to choose forceps with a wide “pitch” in order to grab more hair at once.
- Corrugation on straight hair they do it right away, but curly ones need to be straightened.
- In no case should such a set be done daily.. The maximum allowed is 1-2 times a week. And it is better to style your hair with an ironing no more than once a month.
The hairstyle with a corrugation has several advantages.
- Long term socks.If curls curled on the curler can lose their original appearance by dinner, especially without additional fixation, then the corrugated strands will remain in their original form until the evening.
- The hairstyle looks more voluminous, especially if a small head is used.
- Unusual look unlike the usual curls.
- The ability to easily create a hairstyle at home.
There are downsides and quite serious ones.
- It takes quite a lot of time to create such a hairstyle. The longer the strands (and the greater the number of them required to process ironing), the more time it will take.
- Thermal effects on the hair, and the need not to overdo the hair strand.
How to do?
It looks interesting styling with different wave size:
- This adds volume to the hairstyle;
- makes it much more natural.
Large corrugation is the most capricious, most often it is performed on long hair, but it can also look good on an elongated bean.
The best option for short hair - is the average nozzle, through which the medium-sized waves are obtained.
To make a neat hair with grooved strands, do not try to grab too much hair at once.
For laying the corrugation you need a lot of patience, and if you do it quickly, it will look careless and resemble a washcloth.
If you have hard hair, be sure to wash them with a softening balm before styling. Then dry with a styling that tames your hair. Otherwise, you can get on the head "afro", which was not planned at all.
Professional methods
There is a service Boost up which is declared as "Radical volume 24 hours a day." However, in essence, the procedure is a corrugation at the roots. As a result, a pile is formed in the root zone, which spoils the hair. It can not be combed due to the previously made chemical treatment. If the composition is overexposed, part of the hair disappears, breaking immediately after the procedure. And besides, growing up, Boost up looks very pitiable.
Therefore, it is better to refrain from any kind of chemical treatment of hair to give volume-corrugation.
A more gentle hair treatment Ecovolume (Ecovolume), based on the same principle of basal corrugation, however strands in this method are fixed by stylers-corrugation, after which they are treated with a special compound.
However, there is the possibility of creating a basal volume with the help of an ironing knot (although the effect will last a maximum of 24 hours). The upper part of the hair must be separated from the bottom and fastened with a clip or barrette. The bottom of the gently, one at a time, corrugate only in the root zone. If the hair is very thick, you can split it in horizontal partings into 3 parts and make a corrugation at the roots on the lower and middle parts. After that, you need to dissolve and comb the upper part of the hair, making sure that the desired volume turned out.
Important: the strands of a person in such a package do not corrugate. Only the occipital and lateral parts of the hair. Otherwise, crease creases will be noticeable.
If you plan to collect strands in a lush knot, you can create a basal volume on all the hair under the top layer. In this case, even a “babette” or “shell” will turn out.
At home
It is not difficult to create a hairstyle on short hair with the help of a corrugation, but you need to do everything very carefully so that the “nest” does not work. That is why you need to stop in time, so as not to give the hair too much volume.
First you need to wash, dry and carefully comb your hair. Next, apply a means for thermal protection. Make a side parting so that there is more hair on one side.
Where there are fewer strands, straighten them, and where there is more, crimp through the strand. That is, half of the hair will be with a corrugated structure, half - no. Fix hair with lacquer.
It looks very interesting styling "afro", but only on the condition that it goes to your type of person. The structure of the hair must be fairly rigid, so that the “afro” does not hang, but keeps its shape. It is necessary to do it with the help of small ribs, using the mousse for fixing and thermal protection.
