Tangled and wrinkled hair can upset you more than wasted money. Then - goodbye touching spirals or large waves!

Papillots are the most economical option for curling hair, as rags, pieces of paper, napkins are suitable for them. Papers or napkins should be twisted into tubes. The curl volume will depend on the width of this tube. For better fixation of curls, the hair should first be washed and slightly dried. Next, you need to take any fixing agent, apply to the hair, starting from the tips, wind on a papillot.

Curlers without fixing
Laying on Velcro curlers requires that the hair be healthy and not long. Some ladies, using additional conditioning products, risk curling their long hair. However, you should not succumb to the temptation, so as not to regret it later. Velcro themselves look like a cylinder with thorns, for which the hair clings. In addition, it is not recommended to sleep in them. There are no clips in the Velcro, which means that the hair can be tousled, and beautiful and even curls will not work. But you don’t need to sleep in them, since styling hair with Velcro curlers does not require much time. Any girl with short hair can create volume for her hairstyle while her wet hair dries. However, it is worth remembering that you need to remove them very carefully so as not to spoil the curl, and in the presence of tenacious spines it is completely difficult.
Nuances of styling for a short hairstyle
Hair styling has its own nuances. Oversights made when winding curlers on short hair are more obvious. Yes, and it’s not always possible to carefully separate your hair into even curls on your own. In addition, when using styling on short hair curlers with fixing agents, you can go too far without looking, which may well lead to an undesirable result.

Curl Medium Length Hair
Laying curlers on medium hair is more democratic. For her, curling products designed for both short and long hair are suitable. It is only worth considering that when using devices for short hairstyles, medium-length hair should be healthy, since they will have a considerable test.
Nevertheless, styling on curlers on medium hair has its advantages. You can use boomerang curlers here. Very convenient to use and diverse in shape, they are able to give your hair an unforgettable look. They look like rubber sticks. Inside them is a wire rod, which is easily bent to fix the curl. When used on hair, they look like papillots, they only give a more even curl, and you can also sleep in them calmly - there will be practically no discomfort. It’s worth removing boomerangs carefully, trying not to damage the structure of the curl.
Thermo curlers
Hair styling on medium hair on curlers may not be as long if using a hair curler. The hair should be dry and the curler must be warmed up in hot water. The wax that is inside will melt, and when cooled, it will create a curl on the hair. You need to remove the hair curlers only after the hair has completely cooled. But even after that, it’s worth a little wait and only after that, style your hair, trying to minimize the use of a comb. To give the hair extra volume, combing the hair is recommended from the inside of the hairstyle to the outside.
Curl long hair

On her long hair, she can create curls of any volume, and it will look extremely pretty. You should not only use devices that can confuse hair, for example, the same Velcro, metal or plastic curlers.

Magic curlers for long hair
Magic curlers - while new. They are suitable for long hair, look like funny spirals, easy to use, do not interfere in a dream. The curl after them is very even, holds no less than with other curling methods. However, the time spent on their use is much less.
Their disadvantage is that by pulling a curl inside the silicone curler with a special hook, you can damage the hair structure. And to remove such devices is not always the most pleasant procedure. Therefore, with all the obvious pluses, magic curlers are also not an absolutely safe solution.
Electric curlers
If you are limited in time, you should think about electric curlers. Pleasure is not cheap, since the materials from which the electric curlers are made are not simple. The ceramic body does not allow overheating, and therefore does not harm the hair. Ion coating does not allow hair to get tangled and is not able to break hair.

Horizontal laying
When laying horizontally, it is better to use metal, plastic and thermal hair curlers. Such styling is more suitable for owners of short hair. To begin with, the hair should be clean and slightly damp. Only hair curlers should be used with dry hair. Next, the hair should be divided into five zones: parietal and two on each side, temporal and occipital. It is worth curling, starting with the top of the head.
It is necessary to separate a small strand, comb it well, then wind it on curlers, starting from the ends of the hair. The direction in this case is better to take from the forehead to the back of the head. The curl tension should be uniform so that there is no crease. Then we curl the hair along the parietal part to the neck. Curlers should be located under each other with the same frequency and be curled in one direction. Next, you need to curl the area of the temples and the back of the head. When all the hair is laid on the curlers, they can be dried with a hairdryer or wait until they dry themselves. If your hair is dried with a hairdryer, you must definitely wait until it cools. To spin the curls you need to start from the bottom, moving gradually up. It is recommended to comb curls in the same way, starting from the tips and rising higher.
Vertical wave
With a vertical curl, the hair is first wound from the bottom. To do this, you need to collect the hair on the crown at the tail, and divide the lower part into thin strands. To comb each of them and, starting from the tips, wind on curlers. The curlers themselves should be placed vertically. With this method of winding hair on curlers, long, smooth curls are obtained, which may well become an independent decoration for any hairstyle. The rest of the rules are the same as with a horizontal wave.
Curl hair in a spiral
The spiral wave provides for dividing the head into 4 zones: temporal, parietal and occipital. Then these zones must be divided into small strands and twisted them in a spiral, observing the same rules as with horizontal and vertical laying.
Basic rules for working with curlers
When working with curlers it is worth remembering a few rules. Large hair curlers should not be wound on short hair. For long hair, curlers with an uneven surface are not used. If the hair is slightly moistened before curling, the hairstyle will stay better. The exceptions are thermal curlers and electric curlers. When using them, the hair should be dry.
Thin hair is not an indicator that they can be wound with a large strand. Quite the contrary, the thinner the strand, the better. Long wearing curlers, even the most harmless, still violates the structure of the hair. Ideally, curlers should be worn no more than an hour. To unwind strands, especially long hair, is a whole art. This must be done very carefully so as not to break the curl and not reduce all efforts to a deplorable result. Next, you need to disassemble the curl with your hand. Most often, this is enough to create an amazing hairstyle with curls.
If you just want a wave, comb your hair, starting at the ends, but carefully. Do not overtighten your hair while winding. This will give nothing but discomfort and headache. For a better result when curling, you can use special tools for fixing hair. And, as mentioned above, in everything you need to know the measure.
