The latest couture runway trends show us that this year too, careless light curls remain at the peak of popularity. And if you still don't know how to wind short hair without the help of professional stylists, we will teach you how to do it.
Twist short hair into a curling iron - the easiest way
Some of the fair sex do not even know how to wind short hair on a curling iron, because it seems that the hairstyle after such manipulations will either not turn out lush, or will not be neat. In fact, the algorithm for performing such a procedure is quite simple, you just need to strictly adhere to it:
- Before starting any hair manipulation, you mustapply heat protectants. It can be both gels and mousses. They do not weigh down the hairs, but perfectly protect each of them from aggressive high temperatures.
- Never spray your hair with hairspray before you start curling. This is the most common mistake that leads to the fact that the curl looks more like an icicle than a lush, playful strand.
- Before winding short hair on a curling iron, it should be divided into several separate strands (segments), which will be proportional on both sides of your face, so that the hairstyle as the end result of the work does not spoil the image.
- A curling iron for working with short hair should have a diameter of up to 2.5-3 cm, then the curls will turn out to be quite small and elastic. If you take a curling iron with a large diameter, then you are more likely to achieve beautiful waves, but not curls.
- Have you ever figured out how to curl short hair beautifully? Just start doing this procedure not from the face, but from the lower strands near the neck, and slowly move up. By the way, it is this method of winding that allows you to achieve the most voluminous, lively styling.
- Depending on the thickness of the strands and the temperature of the curling iron, it costs from five to fifteen seconds to keep one curl on it. After that, carefully remove the hair from the device, without twisting it with your hands and without trying to straighten it. The strand should look like a serpentine, in this form it should cool down.
- After all the hair has been curled and cooled, carefully, withoutusing combs or combs, separate the strands with your fingers, styling them as you like, and gently spray the finished hairstyle with varnish at a distance of 30 cm.
Comfortable curling iron Babyliss
Today, a new generation of “independent” Babyliss curling irons (that is, those that have a rotating element and twist their hair without any extra effort on the part of a person) has become very popular among lovely ladies. As a result, a fairly fast and accurate curl is obtained. Babyliss is safe for hair, but you should not neglect thermal protection. Before starting the styling procedure, in which you will use a modern one instead of a regular curling iron, treat each strand with such a mousse or gel.
The algorithm of your actions should be similar to those described above, if you want to get a voluminous and beautiful curl. For hair, Babyliss is more suitable than a regular curling iron. This is because the duration of the process itself is significantly reduced, which means that the hair will not suffer as much from exposure to high temperatures.
A flat iron can not only straighten, but also curl your hair
If you want to achieve really beautiful curls with an iron, for this procedure you will need a model with fairly thin heating surfaces. The process of creating such a styling is just as simple and accessible even for a non-professional:

Boomerang curlers
If you don't know how to curl short hair into small and very playful curls, then you simply have never seen boomerang curlers. They are also wound on slightly damp hair, which can be pre-treated with foam. Whether to dry your hair with a hairdryer or wait 3-5 hours until they dry on their own is up to you, but in any case, the result will pleasantly surprise you.

- divide the hair into several strands proportional to the face (2 or 4);

- wait for the hair to dry on its own, or help it with a hair dryer;
