A celebration is planned or theater tickets have been bought. I want to look beautiful, but in the hairdresser all the masters are busy. Do not despair: if the nearest supermarket is a few minutes walk, then go for curlers.
If you want small curls, it is better to buy foam rubber sausages, for large curls, choose a plastic "hedgehog" design or the classic version. It remains to learn how to properly wind your hair on curlers - and you can get down to business.
This process cannot be called difficult, but it also requires some skill and patience, if the curlers themselves, a comb with fine teeth and a long handle and a spray bottle filled with boiled water are already at hand, on the dressing table.
- Before dividing your hair into strands, you should wash it with shampoo, dry it slightly with a warm towel.
- If you want to add volume to your hair, then take a small amount of them per strand. The more curlers used in the process of creating a hairstyle, the more magnificent it will come out.
How to curl your hair with curlers?
- Work should start from the middle of the head. With a comb handle, separate a thin strand (no more than 0.5 cm thick), the width of which should be slightly less than the width of the curler. Comb through to smooth, mist with water if dry, or apply foam, mousse, styling gel, medium to strong hold.
- Gently place the ends of the strand on the surface of the curler and twist them inward, applying force so that the strand resembles a tightly twisted roll. Secure the design with an elastic band or a special cover near the head.
This is how the occipital, front part of the head (from crown to forehead) and sides (from crown to ears) are wound, and the distribution of hair goes from top to bottom, in even rows.
To learn how to properly wind your hair with curlers, you should listen to the advice of professionals.
Main recommendations are listed below. Learning how to curl your hair in curlers is quite simple:
- short strands are easier to style if the ends of the hair are wrapped with wax paper or gauze;
- for long hair, there is a special way of styling: the middle of the head is wound on large "loaves", the back of the head - on medium-sized curlers, the neck area is trusted with small "sausages".
You should not constantly sleep on curlers, especially on plastic or metal ones, and dry your wet hair with a hairdryer on them. Straw in curls looks as unaesthetic as greasy strands.
Modern industry produces curlers for short hair, whichare called bobbins. The most common option is wooden sticks, cut with a cross at the end on both sides. It is worth winding the hair on them wet so that the curl is perfect. Such a "perm" gives a persistent curl, if each strand is moistened with a strong hold gel.
You can also use thermal curlers, as long as they are small. You shouldn't overuse them, but if you need to look amazing in an hour, then these devices are ideal.
Large Velcro curlers (they are also called hedgehogs) will add volume to thin and weakened hair in a couple of hours, but you will have to use a hair dryer.
Velvet designs will soften the curl, and the hair after them will look like natural curls.
Homemade curlers give a puppet effect if you wind strands of hair on flagella made of paper or rags. To get a lion's mane, it is enough to create spirals from cotton wool and duralumin foil. Such devices can be operated for several months.
