Hair preparation
Before you curl your hair with an iron, you need to prepare it. First, wash your hair with shampoo, apply conditioner. Then we process them with a special product that protects the hair from thermal effects (using a nourishing cream will only enhance the positive effect). All this is necessaryin order to reduce hair damage that occurs due to high temperatures.
How to curl your hair with an iron
First, we separate a small strand of hair of the required thickness (remember: the thicker the strand, the larger the curls), pass it through the iron, as when straightening hair. Now pinch the ends of the hair and wind. We release the ends and take out the iron so that the strands do not unwind. We do the same with the rest of the hair. If you do not want transverse lines to appear on your hair, make sure that the movements of the iron are even and continuous.
The resulting hairstyle can be fixed with varnish.
