Broken curls: what is it and how to do?

The ability to effectively style your hair you need to learn, like any art. It is important to understand how the curls are formed correctly, what hairstyle is appropriate for the upcoming celebration or for everyday use. Suitable styling for any occasion - broken curls, a trend that has not lost its leading position for a long time.

Curls, twisted in a "zigzag" form, do on the hair of any length. Minimum - grown to 7 cm or more. “Zigzag Curls” are visually not very similar to all other types of curls. Their main difference from the classic curls is a curved corner. But the bend does not necessarily have to be made pointed. You can choose for yourself options curl: from clear and sharp to smooth and wavy in shape.

Large curls look great with medium length and long locks. Small curls are good on the haircuts, and small - a win-win option as a universal styling.

All professional masters offer expensive wave curling with “wrinkles”, but some effective recommendations will allow you to perform it at home and save. Fundamental rules:

• wind zigzag need only on clean hair;
• in order to fix the curls better, it is advisable to apply a mousse or foam beforehand on the strands;
• if in the process of laying thermal devices are used, the treatment of hair with a means of thermal protection is obligatory;
• Only dry hair with forceps or on an iron;
• curls combed with a rare-tooth comb if necessary.

This is the most basic and affordable stacking option. Wet hair should be divided into a certain number of thin strands, considering how thick curls are supposed to be. The smaller the braid width, the clearer the zigzag and the longer the hairstyle. You need to braid tight braids and fasten the ends with rubber bands. Do not dissolve until the hair is completely dry. You can hold pigtails all night.

Special device “Glam Zig Palm Zigzag Stylish Iron” - a professional invention for creating uniform creases on the hair. But its value exceeds 200 y. e. and buy it really only online shopping stores. Therefore, alternative devices are most often used: double, single, with rectangular and triangular sections.

Twist the curls on the double curling iron should be so. Separate strands of hair. Pin with a hairpin that part, which will work later. Laying begins with the neck. The strand needs to be captured and, having slightly deviated from the root zone, to start winding the figure-eight into 2 parts of the curling iron. So do with all the curls. At the end of the laying fix varnish.

Using a single curler, they create broken strands like standard waves. But in this embodiment, curls wind up not on the heating rod itself, but directly on the clamp. If triangular or rectangular forceps are used, then the winding is done traditionally: the curl is wound away from the root border, the strand is heated completely and evenly.

To translate into reality this method will need a nozzle corrugation.Perfect styling will turn out on medium and long hair. They need to be divided into identical thick strands. Then take the iron and clamp the loose strand closer to the head. Press hair for 7-10 seconds. Shift the iron a little lower onto the strands and repeat the manipulations again. Continue to wind on all hair.

The use of foil and "ironing" is not suitable for short hair. The laying process will require careful study and preparation. It is necessary to cut a sheet of foil in equal rectangles as long as twisted strands, and the width is twice as wide as the strand. Each rectangle needs to be folded. The algorithm of such actions.

• Arrange the foil slice vertically, guiding the folded edges towards each other. Press them, making out the corners. As a result, a long “pocket” should form.
• Divide the hair into pieces and begin to wrap. To do this, take the first prepared strand and put it in a foil pocket. The curl should be carefully combed along the length and exactly located in the foiled rectangle.
• The strand wrapped in foil is folded like an accordion from the root zone. The width of the foldable sides affects the size of the curl being created. It is important to control that all excesses on the "accordion" are identical.
• Having reached the tip, the curl does not expand, but is pressed for 7-8 seconds with an iron.
• Right in the foil, the harmonica straightens to the state in which the future zigzag is desired.
• Warming up the remaining strands continues as described. Foil can be removed if the strand is completely cooled.

For them, you need a needle, on which a thin strand is wound in the direction from the head and warms up with an “ironing”. The strand is removed from the spoke when the rod is completely cool.

This is another budget method to create beautiful “broken” curls.

• Cut the cardboard squares to the width of the expected curl.
• Separate the narrow strand and wrap from the tips on the cardboard. The strand should be wet. Tip secure with a rubber band.
• Then do the same with the remaining strands.
• It remains to wait until the strands dry out. To give the acceleration process, you can dry them with a hairdryer.
• Carefully unwind strands and irrigate varnish.

For this method, you need special hair-clips with a triangular design. Thanks to them the effect of a corrugation and a spiral is created. Actually, this is not really "triangular" curls, but a great replacement option. The curling is done like on classic curlers. If you use spirals, then the wrap starts from the roots. And when laying with clips it is allowed to distribute them arbitrarily.

You can wind the whole strand or certain areas (for example, in the root zone). Wrap hair must be wet. Therefore, you need to wait for them to completely dry in curlers. If time is running out, you can dry the strands with a hairdryer. They remove the stylers neatly and sprinkle the curls with varnish.

Many owners of hair more than the average length were faced with the fact that wet hair that had been in a bundle for a long time acquired a natural waviness when blooming. Such natural curls persisted for a long time. It is even possible to make stylish curls with a broken structure. But you need to make some adjustments to the process. Before twisting the snail-bundle of wet hair, they need to be lightly treated with mousse of medium fixation, and then dry the bundle with a hairdryer.

If you want to flaunt with large and smooth broken curls, the beam should be done on the back of the head. After drying and blooming, the waves will be obtained with smooth lines and deliberate negligence.And for greater pomp and small curls you will need to spin an even number of strands (from 6 to 10). Small bunches twist not reaching the root zone.

With this arrangement, broken curls will have a very pronounced structure. Fixing varnish - the final stage of creating tight curls. Broken waves on short hair will be successful with an average diameter of the coil, because like small curls and ripples there is a risk of turning the head into a “fluffy ball”. For short hair, large zigzags are good.

The laying process consists of the following steps. Slightly dried hair is separated by strands. Each is treated entirely with a styling agent. Then the position is taken: slightly tilting the head forward or to the side, holding the hairdryer with the diffuser mounted, observing a right angle relative to the head. So that each of the strands is wound on the spikes of the nozzle.

Varnish for such styling is needed to secure the result for a long period. Without locking means, the curls will gradually straighten, and all efforts expended on their creation will be in vain. With lacquer is not to overdo it If a lot of money is on the hair, the curls will become stiff and look unnatural. After all, they had previously been processed with mousse or foam. Excessive weighting will deprive the hair of airiness, then you have to wash them the next day. After all, the dust on the sticky layer of varnish is very good.

When creating spectacular broken curls, the main thing is practice. You should not try without experience to create an unusual hairstyle just before a significant event. The result may not please. It is better to pre-practice, choosing the most suitable option for the length of the hair.
