It's no secret that the wrong hairstyle can ruin the whole look. That is why ladies who take care of their own appearance are so sensitive to their hair. Recently, foam rollers have become increasingly popular. How to use them, you will understand from this article.
Advantages and disadvantages of similar products
Let's start with a few cons. These include the fact that fixation on foam rubber curlers cannot be called reliable. These rather soft products are, so to speak, "adapted to a night's sleep." However, those who spin on the pillow should not count on perfect curls. It is advisable to keep them on your head for at least five hours. If you remove the curlers before the expiration of this period, you will not get a very good result.
These products are soft elastic curls that writhe in any direction. They come in different lengths. Thin curlers are ideal for creating small voluminous curls, thick ones forbig curls.
The advantages include their ease of use and compactness. They don't take up much space. Therefore, a small box or cosmetic bag is perfect for storing them. They can be used not only for medium, but also for long hair. But the owners of short haircuts will have to look for another way to curl, since the foam rollers will not be able to fix their curls.
Existing varieties
All soft curlers can be divided into two categories: horizontal and vertical. With their help, you can get a different shape of curls. Some are suitable for creating spiral curls, others are suitable for ring-shaped curls.
Horizontal products may vary in diameter. The smaller it is, the more curls are obtained on one strand. In most cases, they are fixed to the hair with an elastic band or plastic clip. For those who are planning a night styling, it is advisable to opt for the first option.
Spiral foam curlers look like rolled up covers. They vary in length and width. Included with them is a plastic hook needed to grab the strand and place it in curlers. The curls are fixed with a fabric elastic band.
Preparation for curling on foam rollers
Hair should be supple. To do this, you must first wash your hair with a softening conditioner. To make curled curls smooth, it is recommended to treat the hair with liquid silicone or styling foam.
You need to wind dry hair. This will avoid the appearance of unaesthetic creases. After combing wet curls and lowering your head down, dry them with a hair dryer. This is necessary to give curls a beautiful volume. Otherwise, they will look "sleek".
How to wind foam curlers?
The technique is extremely simple, so you can handle this task yourself. It is recommended to start curling from the back. Horizontal papillots must be placed so that they are perpendicular to the strand. Then we begin to twist the tip of the curl down or up to the very roots. The hair is fixed with an elastic band. Repeat the same with the remaining strands.
Spiral foam curlers are quite easy to operate. The plastic hook attached to them is placed in the case so that the strand can be caught with its end. The combed curl is twisted at the base so that a loop is formed, which must be stretched into the straightening case. When the hair is inside, the hook should be removed. It is desirable to do this through the bottom. In such cases, it is recommended to use strands of medium thickness, since excessively thin strands will be poorly fixed, and thick ones may not curl.
Soft curlers are usually used for styling at night, so it is better to start loosening curls after morning washing and make-up. It is advisable to start from the bottom. The released strands can be separated with your fingers andspray lightly with varnish. This will achieve the desired result and consolidate the effect.
To remove soft spiral curlers, simply pull off the covers first from the lower strands - in the same order in which the winding took place. You should start from the back, gradually moving to the side curls and ending with the crown.
