How to make graceful large curls?

Volumetric curls - this is one of the most common and quite beautiful styling for women's hair. Hair curls will be appropriate in a festive atmosphere, and in a romantic, and even in a business style. Curls can be created on the hair of almost any length, except for very short strands. With large curls on the hair, you can make different versions of hairstyles - wear curls just loosely or collect into elaborate structures.

Curls were considered at all times the most safe option when choosing hairstyles and never go out of fashion.

How the curl will look on your hair depends largely on how it was created. If you used, for example, curlers or electric pliers, the curl will be clear and elastic. And if other methods were used - a diffuser, a brush and a hairdryer, weaving braids with their subsequent drying, then you get a smooth, soft wave that resembles a natural curl.

To create large curls and so that the hairstyle looks neat and beautiful, you need to take into account some of the nuances:

• hair for styling must be clean;
• do not take too thick strands for winding - the thinner the strand, the better the curl;
• Perform in the direction from the roots to the tips;
• in the process of winding each strand, special attention is paid to the tips - they should lie in one direction, not bending and not beating in different directions;
• you should never neglect the application of thermal protective agents on the hair;
• daily use of heating devices or drying with hot air causes the structure of the hair shaft to dry out and to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to provide the hair with regular moisturizing care;
• so that your works on creating curls are not in vain, use styling tools to secure curls;
• You can only comb a completely chilled curl with a curl - so you do not straighten the newly created curl and it will remain elastic for a longer time.

The size of the curl depends on the diameter of the curling iron or curlers on which you are going to wind them. If you want to make an average size of a curl, then you will need a tool with a diameter of 25-35 millimeters, and for large curls choose accessories from 38 millimeters or more.

The original hair length is also an important point affecting the performance of the curl. Long, medium or short hair you have - in each case will have its own characteristics.

• Long strands - Curl can be done both along the entire length and at the tips. For waving, experts advise to choose devices with a smooth or porous surface and avoid all kinds of sticky hair curlers that are tangled in the hair. Long hair can keep curl badly - under the weight of the strands it spins.

• Middle strands - this length best keeps the shape of curls. Both hair curlers, and the hair dryer, the iron or the curling iron equally well will be suitable for a wave. Hair can be created on their own for a short period of time.

• Short strands - perm is used to create basal volume. Curls hold on short hair very well, but perm is not suitable for every type of facial structure. Visually, curls add volume and hair, and face.

The techniques of hair curling on curlers can also significantly affect the finished hairstyle. For example, if you twist your hair in the form of spirals in a vertical direction, it will be a smoothly flowing cascade of hair. And if you wind the average length of the curls in different directions, you get a voluminous hairstyle with an interesting texture of curls.

Perhaps there is no such woman who would not be to face waves of curls. Curly hair is considered the benchmark of femininity. However, to make a hairstyle made with the help of a perm become your decoration, you need to focus not only on the length of hair and the shape of the haircut, but also to take into account the structural features of the face shape. Here are a few guidelines to determine which curls will be your best option.

• Oval of the correct form - This is the most versatile and balanced type of facial structure, when any shape and size of curls will look appropriate and beautiful.

• Extended oval - in this case, the best option would be large curls made on the hair of medium length.

• Round form - to correct the proportions of the face, it is best to use elongated curls, on which styling is done in a special way: starting from the roots to the face area, it is best to create large wavy curls, and closer to the ends of the strands the curl diameter can be reduced.

• Square shape - Vertical spiral curls will help to balance the volume area of ​​the forehead and protruding cheekbones, while the best option would be the average hair length or hair reaching the line just below the chin.

• Rectangular shape - in this case, the length of the strands should cover the angle of the lower jaw, while the curl made in the horizontal direction looks good. A bang with a large curl covering the forehead will be a good help for the correction.

Stylists know the technique when using a haircut form can correct the shape of the face. Often this is used The method of so-called torn strands. Making a perm on such strands is a rather difficult task, and it can take a lot of time and effort every day. In this case, you can apply the option of long-term styling using modern chemicals. For such a wave, the diameter of the papillotok on which the strands are wound can also be large, medium and small.

Before curling your hair, you need to wash your hair and dry your strands very well with a hair dryer. Hairdressers do not recommend hot perm on wet curls for the reason that the curl will not hold well, and the hair shaft is very dry over.

Thermal protection is applied to dried hair (if hot styling methods are used) and styling products to keep curls resilient. In addition, the work will require a comb to separate the strands and lacquer to fix the finished hair.

The rest of the necessary tools needed to wind the hair at home, you can choose at your discretion. We will tell you about each of them in more detail.

• Hair dryer with diffuser nozzle - this device has multiple silicone “fingers” that create the root volume and curl in the form of a wave. The wave is easy to perform, but you still need some time to adapt to work with the nozzle. The easiest way to do this is: tilt your head down and begin to work the nozzle on your head, starting from the occipital region. Next, go to the individual strands of the crown, and then the temples. It is necessary to dry the strands from the tips, moving towards the roots.

• Curling iron - The working part of this device is from 33 to 38 millimeters in diameter. There are devices where the working part has the shape of a cone.Curling iron can be equipped with a special clamping mechanism for fixing the strands, but there are models made without it. For work the curling iron needs to be preheated. Then a thin strand stands out and is wound on the working part of the device. After 15-20 seconds, the strand must be removed from the curling. It is necessary to try to free the curling iron from the strand so as not to unwind the curl - in such a state it is necessary to let it cool.

• Iron - this device has two Teflon plates, between which a strand of hair is passed when it is straightened. However, in addition to the procedure of straightening, the iron can make waves on long hair. Before work, the iron is heated, then a strand is extracted and a strand is screwed onto one of the working sides of the iron, and then pressed with the second side. After 20 seconds, the strand is released. The optimal temperature of the ironing can be 180 degrees. If the heat is stronger, there is a danger of damaging the hair structure.

• Hair dryer and round brush - A small strand of hair is wound on a round brush and treated with hot air using a hair dryer. The finished curl is carefully removed from the brush and, in the twisted state, is fixed with a clip or an invisible one so that it gradually cools down. If you want to get curls large in diameter, then the diameter of the brush should be large.

• Curlers - they can be electrically heated, metal - to dry wet strands wound on them with the help of hot air, plastic with perforations for easy drying of hair, plastic ones with velcro for convenience of twisting strands, plastic in the form of spiral curls for vertical curling, soft foam rubber, sponge rubber - their variety is huge. The essence of their application is quite simple - on curlers you need to wind small strands of hair for curling. The wound strands may be wet, and then they are dried with hot air, or they allow hair wrapped in hair curlers to dry on their own.

Several decades ago, our mothers and grandmothers didn’t have as many tools as they have now, but they also knew how to create hairstyles with large curls, while doing so without a curling iron and a hair dryer. To create beauty in the course were handy tools - strips of paper, cloth ribbons.

In fact, you can make papillots for curling your hair at home and by yourself. For example, take a piece of foam rubber and cut it with oblong strips - wet hair can be screwed on these pieces and dried, and the result will be a curl.

You can make wavy curls yourself in a simple way, without spending a lot of time and effort.

• Split the hair into strands, process with mousse or gel, and then twist each strand with a cord (in one direction). Warm up the hair straightener and walk along the entire length of the twisted strand, lingering for 10-15 seconds at each site. Do not rush to unwind the hot strand - let it cool properly and you will see beautiful waves on your hair.

• Divide clean and slightly damp hair into as many strands as possible and braid pigtails on all these strands. The thicker the order is, the thicker the pigtail will be, which means that the curl is larger. This is best done at night. In the morning you loose braids and put your curly locks in your hair.

Creating volumetric beautiful curls on your own is only half the battle, it is important to keep them for a long time so that the styling does not lose its beauty during the day. Professional hairdressers have their professional tricks that you need to know:

• keep the curlers on your hair for as long as you can afford it - the longer you do not remove them, the more stable is the curl;
• curling in the hot way (that is, done with a curling iron, hair dryer, hair curlers, ironing) should be done only on clean and well-dried hair;
• After the curling procedure, do not brush your curls with a comb or brush - just slightly disassemble them with your fingers and whisk to give them a volume.

You can use the following tools.

• Foam or mousse - is available in an aerosol package and is a light foamy substance, which is distributed in small quantities first over the palms, and then applied to damp, slightly dried hair until the moment the styling procedure begins. Foam or mousse does not make the hairstyle heavy, with their use the curl lasts a long time, but the hair remains mobile.

• Styling gel - this jelly-like agent is distributed in a small amount on wet hair before the start of curling. The degree of fixation of the gel may be different, for a persistent curl it is better to choose a product with medium or strong fixation. After applying the gel, you need to comb the hair and begin to curl. The gel helps to maintain the desired shape, but it does not stick hair.

• Styling powder - it is a powder that is applied in a small amount to the root zone of the hair to give volume to the hairstyle. This product does not so much fix the curls themselves, as it helps to achieve volume without incurring strands near the roots.

• Wax - This tool will not fix the strands, but will help you to focus on some of them. Wax should be used in very small quantities, since with its excess immediately there will be a feeling of unwashed hair. Wax is needed to give the texture curl.

• Hair spray - Aerosol product, which is sprayed curls after the hair styling. Varnish is a different degree of fixation, each manufacturer has its own scale of these degrees.

If there are no professional styling and fixing tools at hand, the curls can be fixed with home remedies.

• Lemon Remedy - Take a fresh lemon and cut it into slices, boil it in a little water, then strain the broth and add a little alcohol to it. Now this mixture needs to be poured into a bottle with a sprinkler and use instead of varnish.

• Flax Seed Broth - Seeds are poured with boiling water and allowed to infuse properly, and then filtered. A gel-like liquid will turn out, it is applied to the hair and after that a curl is done - the curls will keep the shape given to it all day.

• Gelatin - brew gelatin with warm water (1 teaspoon per glass of water), bring to a boil, allow the grains to swell, and then strain.You will have a similar non-gel mass - it is applied to the hair instead of styling before the curls start.

• Beer - This is a very old and effective method of fixation. Hair should be moistened with beer, a little dry and perform a perm. Curls will be elastic all day, you do not even need hair spray.

• Water with sugar - for a glass of warm water, take 2 tablespoons of sugar and mix it until the crystals are completely dissolved. We wet hair with sweet water, give it to dry slightly and slightly wet it with hair curlers.

Experts believe that the best of all perm and styling kept on healthy and strong hair. Weakened and overdried curls are thinned and unable to keep a given shape. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly care for your hair - use moisturizing and nourishing masks.

When using a hair dryer try not to dry your hair at extremely high temperatures, choose a moderate mode and try to use cold air more often. Of course, with this approach you will have to spend more time to dry all strands well, but the health of your hair is not worth the extra 5 minutes spent.

Pay attention to the condition of your thermal devices for laying - if they have chips, cracks, rust, immediately replace them with new ones. This way you protect yourself from getting an electric shock, and your hair - from tearing and burning.

If your hair is not in the best condition right now, but you need to do your hair, remember one simple rule - the more damaged your hair is, the lower the temperature should be when it is applied to it.
