At the same time, the size of curls can be different: both small or medium, and large. There are variations in the shape of curls. They can curl volumetric helix or make a light wave.
In the selection of design curls should be guided by the features of the structure of the face and hair length.
Who are the curls?
In order to create the perfect styling of curls, you need to pay attention to facial features. After all, the curls framing it can be used to visually hide small imperfections of the exterior and emphasize its merits.
Girls with a round face shape and a short haircut should not be laid strands of curls. This will make the shape even rounder. And the owners of medium and long hair in the creation of such hairstyles give a green light to hairdressers. Despite the curls, hair length will help to slightly extend the oval.
Ladies with large facial features, heavy cheekbones or a massive chin should pay attention to large curls that run along the entire length of the hair. This will make the face more miniature and fragile. As for the owners of thin features, especially in combination with a triangular chin, they need to be styled so that the hair framed the face, including the chin and cheeks.
If the shape of the face resembles a pear or a trapezoid, it is better to choose the option with light curls that will fall down the cheeks. This will help to hide the imbalance of the forehead and lower jaw. Most of the styling options exist for persons with an elongated oval face. This classic oval is combined with curls of any size.
Strands can be screwed both completely and partially, near the face and at the ends. In this case, any styling is done with tips out.
It is also worth noting that the curls from the face look great on any hair:
- short;
- medium;
- long.
Only the way of laying depends on length.
Curls for short hair
When creating a laying of curls at home most often use several devices. Namely:
- curlers;
- electric tongs (curling iron);
- ironing
To create Hollywood curls in the style of Marilyn Monroe, hair curlers of large diameter are best suited. This installation is performed as follows. First, you need to wash your hair and lightly dry it with a towel until wet. Then they are divided into strands of the same thickness and width and secured with hairpins for greater convenience of work.
Next, select the strands one at a time and align with a comb, which will have the smallest teeth. Combed strand is wound on curlers. Having done this manipulation with all the hair, they are dried either in a natural way (if you have time) or with a hairdryer.
After removing the curlers, large curls are obtained, which can be slightly straightened with your hands and sprayed with varnish for secure fixation. It is better not to use a comb, as it can straighten part of the hair.
To give the image of romance and charm, curls decorate a small hairpin with rhinestones, placing it on one side.
In the case when you want to make a more modern styling with smaller curls, perfect tongs. First, as in the previous embodiment, the hair is washed and dried. Then they are applied to the composition to protect against elevated temperatures. In this case, hair damage will be minimized.
Further, all the hair is divided into 2 parts: upper and lower. The first should be stabbed at the top. The remaining free hair is divided into identical strands and, choosing one, warm it with forceps along the entire length with a smooth movement. Then you can turn the hair on the device and, after waiting for 5 minutes, dissolve. The remaining strands are wound in the same way.
Then they release the upper part of the hair and repeat all previous operations.
When moving up, it is not necessary to rush and lay hot strands on top of one another. It is better to spend some time letting them cool. So laying will be fixed more reliably.
Work on creating curls ironing is not too different from the way with electric tongs. So, on a clean, wet hair, apply a thermal protective composition, after which they are divided into 4 equal parts. The device must be preheated in the mode from 100 to 120 degrees. A higher temperature can damage the hair structure, and a low temperature cannot ensure reliable and long-lasting fixation of curls.
Next, lock the strand with an iron at the base and twist, warming it for 10 seconds. After that, it is carried out by ironing to the tips. After allowing the curl to cool, it is combed with a comb with rare teeth, forming many small curls. After carrying out these actions with all the hair, styling can be sprinkled with a fixing spray.
Medium length hair styling options
Average hair length is optimal for the formation of curls of any type. Curl them can be using the same tools that are used for short curls. But when creating a hairstyle, you need to remember a few rules that are important for getting the perfect result:
- it is not necessary to divide the hair into thick strands;
- you need to carefully select modeling tools for hair type;
- it is not necessary to separate the twisted strands to cool completely;
- Always use thermal protective equipment before laying.
When dividing the hair you need to form strands of small size (not more than 2 cm). Otherwise, it will be difficult to create relief curls. With regard to modeling tools, then for thin hair more suitable foam, which will not weigh down the styling. For thick and heavy strands, it is recommended to use mousse, which has stronger fixing properties.
When using thermal agents, the final fixation of the shape of the curl occurs after it cools. Therefore, premature hair separation can lead to loss of shape.
Here it should be noted that thermal protective compounds reduce the risk of burning the hair in the process of styling, so their use is an important part of styling.
You can use to create curls on medium hair. hair curlers of various diameters. This greatly expands the range of hairstyles. But when using them, it is necessary to take into account the laying time: from 6 to 8 hours. For this reason, the easiest way to curl hair at night. For this, soft curlers are best suited.
If desired, the time of this installation can be reduced by several hours, applying thermal rollersthat allow you to perform work with the use of a hairdryer. This hairstyle will definitely keep its shape throughout the day, possibly longer.
Much faster, you can do the curling iron. This method is optimal not only for use in beauty salons, but also for use at home. At the same time laying is performed not only quickly, but also simply.
There are several techniques for modeling medium-length hair using a flat iron. The simplest involves twisting strands into a bundle and processing with a hot device. After they spend on curl, it retains a twisted shape.
There is another way.To do this, the strand is clamped by the iron at the roots, and the hair is twisted in one turn. Next, you must slowly lead the device through the hair, holding the ends curled. And if at the same time you make small stops in several places, then you can get “broken curls” that fit perfectly in a slightly sloppy hairstyle.
The technique of curling hair of medium length is no different from working with short curls. To perform it, you can use any kind of tool: with or without a clip. This will not affect the quality of installation. An excellent option can be curling hair dryer, which is considered more harmless to hair.
Long curls
Long hair from the face most often wind the iron.
Perm is best done on clean hair treated with a heat spray. This moment is especially important with a large length that can be lost during drying of hair.
Before starting to curl, hair is carefully combed and fixed on the top of the top. The lower one is divided into small strands, one of which is clamped with an iron, stepping back a little from the roots. The device must be placed perpendicular to the curls. Then the strand is wrapped around the iron and gently descend to the ends.
This procedure must be repeated with all the hair from bottom to top. Laying can be fixed with varnish. At any length of hair curls from the face look modern and stylish. Therefore, each girl can make this styling in your arsenal of hairstyles.
