Laying curling

Hair curling - One of the oldest ways to make a hair. With this tool you can create curls, give volume, make the effect of "wet" hair. The main thing is to properly use the appliance.

Good styling begins with the “correct” curling. Alas, but those same metal tongs from childhood, which are heated by almost red hot, today are “not listed”. On the market there are many high-quality and safe electrical appliances for styling, which allow you to do not only curls, but also corrugation, straighten hair, while reducing their damage to a minimum. They are durable, beautiful, they are convenient to take with you on a journey.

When choosing a curler, you need to pay attention to:

• Materialof which the working surface is made - that which adjoins to hair. Steel, the most inexpensive, will damage and dry them. Pay attention to curling iron with ceramics, titanium or tourmaline coating. They are more expensive, but will save you from long-term hair restoration after styling.
• The functionality of the device. Ideally, the curling iron can switch off automatically if you forget to unplug it. Very good, if there is a choice of temperature regimes - different hairstyles require different temperatures to create. In addition, it will protect the hair from excessive drying. A nice bonus is ionization. It gives obedience and shine to curls.

Experienced craftsmen advise those who do not deal with the curling iron to purchase special thermal gloves - this will prevent burns to the hands. And you should always remember that the tip of the curling usually does not heat up, so if you need to tweak the device or support it with your second hand, you need to do it just by the tip.

To create curls fit:

• Standard forceps. This is a curling iron of the usual type, in which the hair is wound onto the surface and clamped. The diameter of the working surface must be selected according to the length of the strands. The shorter they are, the smaller the diameter.
• Cone-shaped. Such devices help to create interesting forms of curls, which seem to be narrowed downwards. They are also convenient if you need only slightly twist the tips.
• Spiral. The hair in it is wound on a spiral. Elastic curls are obtained, and the hair is not clamped from above.
• With multiple work surfaces. Such a device has two or even three rods on which hair is twisted in zigzags. It turns out an interesting effect of "lion's mane." These tongs need to be able to handle, they require patience and slow work.
• For hair straightening, there are so-called curling irons. These forceps will help stretch the hair, perfectly smooth them and add volume to the roots. If they come bundled with corrugated nozzles, individual strands can be structured.
• Experienced masters can wind on the hair curling hair, like a regular curling. This is good, if the width of the surface ironing fits the length of the hair.

The most common diameter curling - 19 mm. It is suitable for most hairstyles and is considered the most universal, “giving out” an elastic and rather tight curl. For short hair and hairstyles with small curls, you can choose options for devices with a diameter 16 or 10 mm. For hair of medium length, devices of 25 and 32 mm are often used - they make nice curls of medium size. To create soft waves take curling iron 38 mm. It is convenient to work with her for those whose hair even reaches the shoulders. For long-haired girls fit curling 50 mm thick. It is convenient to twist the tips and make luxurious large curls.

Choosing a suitable curling iron, you need to take care of your own hair. Modern styling is unthinkable without thermal protectors. Choose a thermal spray or styling fluid. It is desirable that it contains provitamins and other caring substances. Experts advise styling curls clean hair. When they are completely dry (preferably in a natural way), carefully comb them with a comb with rare teeth and heat-protect them, following the instructions on the packaging.

Twisted curling curls should not be kept in it longer than 20 seconds. This time is enough for the strand to take shape and not to dry out. It is also necessary to remove the device correctly - the iron is just gently pulled inward, and the curling iron is carefully removed to the side without pulling the hair down. If you have an old metal curling iron, 5-10 seconds will be enough for locks.

With regard to the styling temperature, personal experience will help best - after all, different hairs perceive temperature differently:

• Thin, brittle, dyed hairs are believed to "not survive" the curls at a temperature more than 150 degrees.
• For normal hair, the curling iron can be heated to 180°.
• If the curls are tough, naughty, and the hairs themselves are thick, you can try and 200°.

If you use an iron or other styler at the maximum, keep in mind that you cannot use it every day. Maximum - 4 times a week. Hair necessarily need rest and restoring procedures - masks, rinsing with herbal decoctions, massage of the scalp.

If you have short hair, at home you can curl it into small curls or make a romantic hairstyle:

• To make curls "small devil", take the curler of the minimum diameter and twist in turn the strands on it, starting from the back of the head. After that, the hair can be collected under a bandage, hairatnik or headband. If you walk on such a comb comb, you can get the effect of "clouds".

• If you want a hairstyle in the spirit of "Hollywood 50s"Please note that the volume is shifted here - it is not at the back of the head, but at the bottom of the hair and goes in a circle. This hairstyle will work well for owners of cars. Hair combed on a side parting or straight. Then they are screwed onto the curling iron, from the tips approximately to the level of the ears, into elastic curls.
• If you want a more modern version with careless curls, use a larger curling iron and roll the hair not entirely, but skipping the strands. When removing the curling iron, slightly pull the hair down, forming not a curl, but a vertical wave.

• To give splendor to the roots and just draw tipsso that they twist slightly, Use a slim iron. You need to grab the strands from the roots and smoothly, twisting with your hands, tuck the tips. Many hairdressers use corrugation tips to add basal volume. To do this, the lower strands at the roots to hold the nozzles of the corrugation - they will give pomp.

For hair of medium length there are lots of styling options:

• If you want to get a voluminous hairstyle, hair is twisted on the forceps from the very roots, starting from the nape. The thickness of the strands should not be more than 2.5 cm.Each curl, after it cools down, needs to be treated with varnish - so the hairstyle will be held for a long time and will be more rigid - this will keep the volume.

• For soft wavy styling it is necessary to first comb your hair and parse it in the middle, as it will be in finished form. Strands are first drawn with a flat iron so that they are smooth and shiny from above. And then, starting from the middle, they are wound on a curling iron of average diameter. Here it is important that the curls are not small - so a smooth wave will turn out.

Owners bangs can be tightened and her - here is useful cone-shaped curling or just thin. In this form, the bangs can be left as they are, stabbed back or to the side. Variants, when the whole head is in curls, and the fringe is left straight, looks slightly unnatural.

Many people wonder how to make beautiful curls yourself at home. When the master winds strands on the curling iron, everything seems very simple. But in fact there are a lot of nuances.

Surely many have noticed that the curl in shape is round or more elongated. A round curl is made by curling, which is held horizontally, parallel to the line of the floor. And if you keep the curling upright, the curl will turn out to be more dissolved. To get perfectly round curls across, you need a spiral styler.

For long hair variations weight. For example, Californian curls, which we so often see in American movies:

• For this, the bulk of the hair is pinned up at the top, leaving only the lower strands.. They curl curling on rather large diameter.
• Every curl after cooling sprayed with spray or varnished and slightly disassembled by hands to give a natural look.
• Then one more “portion” of hair is released and curls similarly to the first row. So the whole hairstyle is wound until there is not a single straight hair. It will be a thick mass to fall on his shoulders - it looks very impressive. True, it takes a lot of time, especially for those whose hair is long and thick.

For styling “flagella”, so that curls resemble springs, you can try a different method of curling. Separated thin strand of hair, combed and twisted into a flagellum, not too tight. Immediately this flagellum is wound on a closed curling iron and warms up for 10-15 seconds. The thinner the harnesses are, the better they will get warm, which means that they will “grab” faster and last longer.

If you want to achieve the effect as if slightly stretched, relaxed "springs", proceed as follows:

• Screw a straight strand of hair onto a closed curling iron (without twisting the pre-bundle) from the root to the tip. Hair must be completely dry before winding up. If there is moisture on the hair, it will simply evaporate, but the curl will not twist. If you apply thermal protection or fixing foam on the strands, the funds should be literally a little bit.

• Mentally need to divide the head into 3 parts - occiput, parietal zone and temporal part. First, the back of the head curls, then the parietal zone, and then the lateral, temporal. For the convenience of division useful comb with a "tail" and hairdressing clips.
• Usually take a curl strand no wider than 5 cm. It is pre-combed and carried out with a curling iron from top to bottom, without twisting to warm up the hair. It is best not to touch the curl at all until it cools down. And even more so do not need to comb it. It will reduce all work to zero. This technique works only if you need not curls, but a volume - then you can walk along the curls with a brush when they cool off.
• Fresh curl, while you wind the rest of the hair, it is best to pinch the hairpin or stealth, so that it does not twitch in the process. At the end of the work, the clamps can be removed and the strands can be disassembled by hand.

• To fix the hairstyle, you must always use lacquer Choose “your” means that does not make the hair heavier and does not make them stick together.To make the curls look natural and neat, it is recommended to spray spray varnish on them from a distance of 25-30 cm.
• To give the hair volume at the roots, you can make a comb comb. If you want your hairstyle to look slightly disheveled, you need to blow-dry your hair with a diffuser before curling.
