Basic rules for creating hairstyles
Styling with the help of the ironing was a salvation for many girls who have naturally disobedient hair. Indeed, it is unlikely that any other tool in a matter of seconds can make a fluffy strand perfectly flat and smooth. Here, however, it is important not to overdo it and do your hair properly.
So, start your transformation is important with washing your hair. You can wash your hair immediately before styling and dry thoroughly with a hairdryer, or at night. The latter option is considered more benign, because at night curls can dry naturally, without undue exposure to hot temperatures. Washing is one of the most key procedures, because the remnants of styling products on the hair will stick and melt in the ironing under the heat, burning the strands and spoiling the quality of the tool.
Also ruin your hair will be able to styling on wet hair. The fact is that in order to combine drying and styling, the straightener will have to be kept on the hair longer than usual, drying and dehydrating them. And even if the hair will be exposed to heat after pre-drying, the iron will still have a negative impact on the structure. Thermal spray which is applied over the entire length of the strand before laying helps to solve this problem.
Such simple actions bring us closer to the process of laying. For it must be selected special means. Foam and mousse intended for the rectifier should not have a sticky texturewhich budget manufacturers of so-called tools so sin on. The remnants of such products will slowly but surely spoil the ironing plates, especially if they are made of metal or ceramic. Tourmaline and Teflon protect against this effect, but the price of such coatings plates is high.
The very process of straightening or curling should take place on the hair, previously divided into strands. When straightening, they can be thick, while when curling more thin.
With unruly hair, experts advise to fix the result of hairspray medium fixation, because straight hair or curls should look as lively and natural as possible. Unfortunately, with daily use of the iron, a lively shine gradually leaves the curls, because the hydrogen layer of the structure does not have time to be filled. Rest hair from all types of exposure - the key to successful future styling.
Hair straightening
Well-groomed straight hair looks luxurious, conquering its smoothness and radiance.Before you begin to straighten diligently curls worth noting that the straight strands are suitable for good thick hair, ideal for a round face and a thin neck. Oblong face and sparse thin hair can be considered a direct contraindication of such styling, and therefore, perhaps, to try this styling is not appropriate.
So, deciding to straighten, it is important to prepare the hair, washing and drying them according to the recommendations of the previous paragraph. Prepare for the process and ironing, setting the desired temperature. The temperature here should be selected taking into account the thinness of the hair, the zone of stay and their obedience. For example, fine strands are perfectly straightened even at the lowest temperature conditions, while thick, curly hair naturally leads to straightening at higher temperatures. The maximum is useful for the zone on the temples, while on the back of the head hair is processed at low rates.
Anyway, the choice of mode will have to be carried out by trial and remember that, ideally, the strand should be straightened after one pass between the plates of the device. Numerous holding the iron in the same place leads to the section of the curls.
Begin straightening, like any other styling should be from the neck. For convenience, the remaining parts should be stabbed at the crown and separated on a thin strand as they are laid. When all the hair has been processed, the strands are carefully combed and fixed with varnish as needed. Stylists at the styling stage are advised to use one effective technique for creating volume. So, if the hair is fluffy and there is a desire to preserve it, you can not expose the middle of the head to straightening, ideally straightening only the tips and upper strands. Thus, the "internal" strands will allow you to create a smooth and voluminous hairstyle without a pile.
Curling curls
Creating curls and a straightener for many still remain incompatible concepts, but in the hands of masters the iron becomes a means of 2 to 1. It is said that not every device is capable of this, and therefore wishing to get the opportunity to create diverse hairstyles as a result of the purchase, it is important to take to the appearance of the rectifier. Its plates should have rounded edges necessary to prevent curls from curling.
Curls can be obtained in several ways depending on the desired effect. So, using the ironing can result:
- classic curls;
- elastic curls - a prototype of a corrugation;
- gentle waves with the letter S;
- elastic waves with the letter S.
Classic curls get pretty easy, working ironing directly on the hair. For this it is necessary to divide the curls into eight zones and fix them with clips. The first two zones will be located on both sides of the parting, two more - on both sides of the temporal part, two - in the central part of the head, two - from the bottom. This separation will help wind the strands in the direction from the face to the face. To wind the strand, it is necessary to fix its middle between the plates, and wrap the tip around the ironing board, slowly lowering the device to the bottom.
As mentioned earlier, the iron can have a nozzle for the corrugation, the one that produces fluffy small waves, especially decorating girls with thin and sparse hair. However, even in the absence of such a nozzle, you can recreate a similar effect with an ironing pin and a hairpin. To do this, the strand at the roots tightly wound on a metal pin eight. Twisted strand is placed between the plates and held for about 10 seconds, after which the stud is removed.
If you want to recreate the gentle waves of the letter S it is enough to twist a thin strand on two fingers, having received a ring. Next, put the twisted curl into a piece of foil, hold it in the iron for a few seconds and dissolve. For elastic waves, the strand must be wound on a thick brush, getting a smaller diameter of the ring and leaving the curl in the foil to cool for 5-7 minutes.It should be noted that in her hair is injured to a lesser extent, and therefore this method can be attributed to sparing.
Options for different lengths
In order to style your hair with an ironing not only beautifully, but also organically, it is important to accurately combine the styling method with the length of the curls. This will help to make short hair voluminous and delicate, and not to give gravity to long curls.
Long
It takes a lot of patience, and sometimes time to lay the long strands of the fabric itself. For many, this process becomes so difficult that women prefer the careless bunch rather than the loose luxurious curls. However, there are many styling, allowing you to give your hair a presentable appearance quickly. So, sloppy curls easy to create after washing your hair and thoroughly drying them with a hairdryer. At the same time, the air stream should lift the hair from the roots, providing them with a natural volume. Further, straight fluffy strands are wound on the iron for 1/3 of the entire length of the hair. Soft curls should be voluminous, and therefore do not be afraid to take large locks.
If the volume is still not enough, you can screw large curls on the upper part of the hair, then carefully comb them, combining with the rest of the mass. The resulting thick and fluffy hair should be combed back and fix the volume with a light fixing varnish.
Also for long hair in everyday conditions suitable gentle waves along the entire length. In contrast to the solemn options, they should be as soft as possible, and therefore you should withstand the hair iron for no more than 10 seconds.
Owners of luxurious curls fit the waves in person. It is necessary to wind them from the middle of the hair in one direction, previously dividing the strands into several segments. After they are all directed in the same direction, they are combined into two large locks on both sides of the face.
Average
Medium length is one of the most common hairstyles chosen by women of different ages. Not too long hair is more convenient to lay, and in the absence of time, you can simply collect in a ponytail or a bun. Medium-length hair is also great for curls and soft waves. You can experiment with their shape to create strands in retro style. For this, the locks are clamped in the form of a flat ring between the plates.
With the help of an ironing on the average length of the strands often create "beach curls".
