The most important difference between Hollywood curls and other styling is large curls of the same diameter, neatly laid on one or two sides. In addition, curls should not be glued and heavy from a large number of styling products, so they must be selected especially carefully.
The success of styling also depends on how carefully it is done. Hair is not supposed to stand out from the hairstyle, all curls should be the same and shiny. One of the characteristic features of these curls are smooth and soft waves.
Curls are not made along the entire length of the hair, but starting from the level of the ear. However, they should not be too small or spiral. Hollywood styling is not particularly resistant - usually light waves remain the next day.
