Short haircuts impose certain restrictions on the choice of styling. You will not be able to make a gorgeous volumetric tail or braid braids. But beautiful curls can be made even on short hairs. This will help to add variety to everyday looks.
Features
When creating light curls for short hair, you must consider the features of this length. With the wrong choice of tools or how to cheat, the result may not meet your expectations. The main recommendations are given below.
- To create curls do not use too large curlers. They will give short hair volume, but will not create the desired curls. Hair curlers with a large diameter are suitable only for owners of long hair.
- Very small curlers will also not cope with this task. Remember the image of a clown, who has small curls sticking out of his hat in different directions. This effect is clearly not to appeal to the majority.
- The last caveat to keep in mind when creating curls is hair protection. It is no secret that high temperatures can damage your hair. Therefore, when using a hair dryer or ironing do not forget to use special thermal spray.
Advantages and disadvantages
Each method of curling has its pros and cons. So, when using ironing, we get elastic beautiful curls, but we risk damaging the strands due to exposure to high temperatures.
When using conventional hair curlers, there is no such problem, but it can take a long time to create a hairstyle.
Well, if all night is ahead and you can let your hair dry naturally. If time is limited, then this method will not work.
But the main advantage will be the safety and stability of curls. They will not disintegrate even in the evening.
We should also talk about long-term styling. These include carving and perm.
The advantages of such methods include:
- a long time socks (hold up to six months, and even longer);
- no need to do styling every morning;
- no longer need additional tools in the form of curlers, tongs or curling.
Minuses:
- undoubted harm to hair, which causes chemical composition;
- if the hairstyle gets tired, you can’t get rid of it just by washing your head (you will have to either use the straightener every day or go to the salon again);
- as a result of the effects of chemicals, the color of the dyed hair may change
- the result is not always the way you expected it to be, but it is very difficult to fix it.
That is why many girls prefer short-term styling. Although they do not last very long, they do not cause such harm to the hair, and always an unfortunate result can be corrected.
