Curling "corrugation"
In the new millennium, the corrugation is no longer associated only with skirts in a small fold, and these are not only small curls from the 90s. Why do I need a curling pudder today, how it is used and what miracles it does, you will learn from this article.
Features and benefits
Tongs, hair straighteners, curling irons for the hair - for someone it all means the same thing - some thermal devices that allow us to achieve this or that effect on our hair. But if a regular curling iron creates familiar curls, then a curling corrugation is a more versatile device. Now there are such curling not only for professional, but also for home use.
The options can be different: you can buy a curling iron designed to do only a corrugated effect on the hair, or it can be a multifunctional curling iron with different nozzles (in terms of curls, corrugations and just for classic curls).
Varieties
Let us consider in more detail what types of similar ploy exist:
- Large corrugation Especially suitable for styling on long thick hair. With it, you can make popular now Hollywood waves. These are not just classic volumetric curls, the hair is like a large and smooth rippled wave.
- Medium corrugation - the most versatile of the pleyok-corrugation, with its help you can easily and quickly make volume curls or simply focus on the basal volume.
- Small bumps - it was with this effect that once we all learned about the possibilities of this kind of styling products. Just with this type of curling, you can make a great basal volume. Especially good at creating a gorgeous hairstyle from mini-curls on thin as well as damaged hair.
Professionals, of course, the most convenient way to take a curling iron with nozzles - such gadgets will cost a lot of money, but they are more comfortable to use than, for example, 3-in-1 curling iron (hair straightener + corrugation + curls).
As for the nozzles, they also come in various forms:
- Curling hair dryer - to give volume to the hair;
- Hair straightener;
- Curling curler hair (which just includes 1, 2 or 3 nozzles to create different types of corrugated strands).
And is it possible to do everything and at once with one curling - you ask, the answer will be - yes. A very interesting novelty appeared on the market - multi-hair styling. These unique and, of course, expensive devices include:
- Brashing - a special brush to give volume;
- Rectifier;
- Corrugation (one kind or three nozzles at once to create small, medium and large curls);
- Brush for easy styling for every day or after a haircut in the hairdresser;
- Curling hair.
Curling curls come in different sizes and serve different purposes: you can buy just a small travel curler to look well-groomed on any trip or business trip, or you can take a curling iron with wide heating plates - so you can cover a large area of hair at a time and the styling process will take much less time.
By the way, about the plates. There are also nuances here. They come with a different coating:
- metal - Naturally, the most aggressive for hair. The strand can literally burn to such a curling, the hair becomes dry, brittle. The only joy in buying such a device is the price. You can take to try it for the first time, if you do not want to overpay.Then do not forget to use heat protection sprays. And they will have to buy from time to time and it is already unknown if you win so much in price.
- teflon - not only pans can be with such a coating, it is also designed to protect the hair from “sticking” to the red-hot curling, it also facilitates the process of curling (the hair does not slide and curls evenly). A minus of a similar covering - in its fragility. After about a year (depending on the frequency of use of the curling iron), it begins to wear off to a metal surface.
- ceramics will not harm your hair. In the process of curling, such curling irons distribute heat very evenly and release negatively charged particles, due to which the hair flakes close, keeping the hair moisturized. It should be added that it is better to take a curling iron made entirely of ceramics, because the ceramic coating still has the ability to wear off over time.
- tourmaline - this is a semiprecious stone, when heated, which forms a magnetic field of low frequency, negative ions are formed, leveling static electricity. Scales of hair are also closed gently, after curling hair get a healthy shine. Tourmaline coating, unlike ceramic and teflon is not erased. Such curling irons are considered the safest of all. All this causes the high price of these devices.
- titanium - we will not repeat what was written above, because the beneficial effect for the hair is not worse than that of the tourmaline coated ploy. Only titanium devices themselves are more durable, reliable, highly resistant to even chemical damage.
Professional stylists choose to work quality curling irons with titanium or tourmaline coatings.
Popular manufacturers
In addition to the type of coating, an important factor when choosing a curling-corrugation is the manufacturer.
Of course, the more famous the brand in the market and the larger the production, the more reliable the quality of the device. But there are also less well-known, but also noteworthy professional brands. Their devices are also very, very high quality, but the points of sale are narrowed, since they are not designed for wide consumption. Tools in professional stores, of course, are much more expensive, but they are very hardy and treat hair as carefully and carefully as possible, not to mention styling speed.
In any case, if you choose tongs for home use, then look at the manufacturers Philips, Bosch, Brawn, Rowenta, Remington. Stylists also choose brands. Dewal, Harizma, Valera. Among the beauty bloggers, the most famous BaByliss and Philips.
How to choose the best option?
There are several options you should pay attention to in order to find yourself. the best option when choosing a curling iron:
- Temperature control - if there is no such function in the corrugation box, then you do not need it. For different styling and even more so for different types of hair (especially important if you take a curling iron for a family: for yourself, sisters, mothers, grandmothers or for professional use) you need to choose different temperature modes. Ideally, look at ploykos that have a range of at least 50 ° C to 20 ° C.
- The length of the nozzle - it all depends on the length of your hair. The longer your spit, the longer you should choose a nozzle. Otherwise, part of the hair will be twisted weaker and the desired styling will not work.
- The shape and diameter of the nozzle. Decide what kind of curls you would like to do. Again, you can buy a curling iron with nozzles, as we said, and kill several birds with one stone, so see the next item.
- The presence / absence of attachments - good curling irons with numerous nozzles will stand up "in a pretty penny", but if you decide to save and buy such a device, you can miscalculate, so check everything thoroughly. Attachment points for attachments are usually the most vulnerable, because of which the curling can break down faster over time.
- Stand - it seems that a trifle, but during use is a very useful thing., since it is much more convenient to work with such a curling iron: there is no risk of damaging the surface and burning your fingers.
- A loop for hanging - you can, of course, build such a loop yourself, but it is still better if it goes in the kit. So it is more convenient to store. If you do not want to litter the bathroom, hang it on a hook in the closet. Such a loop for pleyek with a ceramic coating due to their increased brittleness is especially relevant.
- Cord length - optimally if the cord is about 2-3 m, because with a shorter you get tired of carrying an extension cord around you, and in a long one you risk becoming confused. Well, when there is someone who can unravel you.
- Timer "readiness" curls - you set the required number of seconds on the display, and the curling iron emits a characteristic squeak as your curls are ready. With him you will not notice how quickly twirl the curls.
Sometimes we keep a hot heap for too long. But some types of hair is not required. Therefore, this function will facilitate the whole process of laying and will not allow the curling iron to dry them.
- Fire timer - especially important for professional hairdressers. In the working rush, you can forget about turning off all the devices, but the curling machine itself will remind the owner that you need to remember to turn it off. At home, sometimes this function is no less convenient.
How to use?
Laying options with the help of various types of pleyok great variety - here what is enough imagination, but there are the most basic, knowledge of which will help you figure out how to use the curtains correctly.
How to make styling on medium hair?
Laying on the hair of medium length is not very different from styling on long hair, but there are some nuances. It is important to choose the right temperature for heating the curling iron and the time for holding the strand on the rod, so as not to lose money with the desired volume. Otherwise, the hair will curl into very tight curls and you risk becoming like a curly lamb. Someone then curls settled, and someone passes all the triumph, lamenting unsuccessful styling.
Here, as elsewhere, practice is important. The more often you style your hair, the better your hairstyle will be from time to time. Also with professionals. Here, too, it is not always possible to correctly determine the desired temperature for specific hair and styling time, which is why it is safer to go to one proven master.
How beautiful to straighten?

- Wash your hair using your usual shampoo, but after that, be sure to use a thermal spray - so exposure to high temperatures will cause them minimal damage.

Options for short
A few tips for creating hairstyles on short-length hair:
- Excellent styling for short hair is obtained only after washing. But it is not recommended to do it on just washed wet hair, you should blot them with a towel.
- Also important is the quality of your haircut - it will directly depend on the quality of styling on your short hair.
- Use cool air from a hairdryer, especially on thin hair when styling every day, so that exposure to warm air is not so destructive.
- Direct the air stream from the roots to the ends. Start laying from the head.
- When laying, use a thermal protection agent with an antistatic effect.
- Add volume to the hair roots with the help of a curling-corrugation and special powder for hair, rubbing it into the roots (without hair).
- After drying, you can make several options for curling hair with a curling iron (for example, "bell" - tips up).
- Fix the effect with the help of special styling products (varnish / gel / hair wax).
Long curls
It all depends on what effect you want to achieve. Laying can be completely different. You can make tight, carefully disassembled curls, romantic waves, so popular today "beach waves", all sorts of corrugations or volume strands.
It all depends on the choice of curling or attachment to it, the length of stay on the curtain.
As always, do not forget about heat protection means to reduce the harm to hair during styling and styling - to fix the curls.
How to fix the result for a long time?
Curls on different hair are kept differently, and also much depends on weather conditions. The following few tips will help you to keep your laying as long as possible:
- Once curled strand, remove the curling iron and support the strand with your hands, fixing with a liquid varnish. When it cools, release the strand.
- Attract additional "artillery": hair mousses, texturizing sprays, hair powders or even dry shampoos. Distribute them to the hair before styling with a curling iron, and after styling fix the finished hairstyle with lacquer.
- Much depends on the curling you choose yourself. First, the length of the plates - if your hair is long, then the curling iron should not be miniature, otherwise the strand will not warm up completely and the top layer will not wind. In general, it is better to spend money on a high-quality curling iron with a good (ceramic, titanium or tourmaline coating), temperature control and a curl timer than spoiling your hair and changing often cheap appliances.
For home use it is quite possible to consider a curling iron with nozzles.
