Many women dream of decorating themselves with casually flowing curls. Now many ways have been invented to turn a girl, whom nature has awarded with straight hair, into a curly beauty. This can be done with both papillots and curlers, a curling iron or even an iron. Although the latter unit is more often used for hair straightening. But winding curls with a curling iron is not as easy as it seems. But this electrical appliance can create both small curls and Hollywood waves. And for this it is not at all necessary to go to the salon and hand yourself into the hands of professionals. Our article will help you make a chic styling yourself.

We will also provide you with the necessary information on what protection products to use to keep your hair he althy and shiny.
What you need to know before you wind the curls on the curling iron
Hair should be washed and, if possible, completely dry. It is important to know that some styling products (varnish, styling gel, foam) can ignite when in contact with high temperatures. So not long to stay not only without curls, but without hair at all. In order not tohappened, we use only one means of protection - a means for thermal styling. Do you think that wet hair lends itself better to curling? You are wrong. It is better to wind wet strands on curlers, and not on the rod of an electrical appliance. In order not to burn the curls with a curling iron, the hair must be absolutely dry during the procedure. The last secret concerns the electrical appliance itself. Old-fashioned irons with a metal rod distribute heat unevenly. Made curls look unnatural and fall apart. We choose curling irons with Teflon or ceramic coating.
Curls for all occasions
Today there is no single established canon of stylish hairstyles. Many girls straighten their natural curls with an iron. But curls continue to be in trend. They can be “beachy”, fall in large waves, provocatively stick out small curls, seductively flow with vertical curls. And here we return once again to the qualitative characteristics of the electrical appliance. Of course, Grandma's clip-on curling iron is very easy to use. We hold the tip of the strand and wind it along the entire length, like on curlers. But what do we get as a result? That's right: an unnatural spiral and split ends of the hair. Curling iron with a cone-shaped rod with a ceramic coating will allow you to create curls of different thicknesses. It will look more natural. The best device for home styling is the Bebilis curling iron for curls. We will look at how to curl your hair with this miracle remedy.
Make big curls
Hairstyle, based on beautifully flowing waves, is feminine and never goes out of style. Consider how to create large curls with a curling iron. For long hair, you need to choose the diameter of the device less than the desired curls. If we talk about curling irons with a clip, then devices with a body diameter of thirty-five millimeters are suitable for smooth waves. Hair should be separated with even vertical partings. We start laying from the occipital zone. We stab the hair on the top of the head with “crabs”. We separate a larger strand if we want to get smooth natural curls. We hold the curling iron at the roots of the hair. If the device has a clip, grab the strand. We wind the curl on the curling iron from the face. Hold for no more than twenty seconds. Next, release the clamp and gently release the strand. The ends of the hair can not be twisted - so the hairstyle will look more natural. Grabbing a strand for hair from the crown of the head should not be at the roots, but approximately from the middle of the back of the head. Wind the curls clockwise. When all the strands are laid, we fix them with styling. We do not use brushes and combs! Create the final mermaid look with flowing curls using your fingers.
Temperature conditions
Modern curling irons allow you to set the desired degree of heating yourself. What temperature regime to choose? You should know that the thicker your braids, the denser the structure of the hair, the faster the curl will straighten. It’s just that the hair, under the weight of its own gravity, will take the initial shape destined for it by nature. That's why,curling curls with a curling iron at home, you should take into account the structure of the hair. For light and dry, choose a gentle temperature regime. Remember - even the most newfangled curling iron is still aggressive for the he alth of the hair. If nature has endowed you with thick and lush hair, you can use a higher temperature regime. There is super smooth hair that does not want to curl. We spray such capricious strands one by one with varnish. But only after we wind the curls with a curling iron.
