If you are a fan of not too long hair, this does not mean that you should deny yourself the opportunity to create a wide variety of hairstyles, including interesting styling with curls. Recent trends in couture catwalks show us that this year, careless light curls remain at the peak of popularity. And if you still do not know how to curl a short hair without the help of professional stylists, we will teach you this.
Twist the short hair in a curling iron - the easiest way
Some representatives of the fair sex do not even know how to wind short hair into a curling iron, because, it seems, the hairstyle after such manipulations will either not turn out to be curvy or not to be neat. In fact, the algorithm for performing such a procedure is quite simple, you just need to strictly adhere to it:
- Before starting any manipulations with the hair, it is necessary to apply thermal protective agents. It can be gels and mousses. They do not weigh down the hairs, but perfectly protect each of them from aggressive high temperatures.
- In no case do you need to spray your hair with varnish before starting to curl. This is the most common mistake, which leads to the fact that the curl is more like an icicle than a lush playful strand.
- Before you wind your short hair into a curling iron, they should be divided into several separate strands (segments) that will be proportional on both sides of your face, so that the hairstyle as the final result of the work does not spoil the image.
- The curling iron for working with short hair should have a diameter of up to 2.5-3 cm, then the curls will turn out to be quite small and elastic. If you take a curling iron with a large diameter, then you are more likely to achieve beautiful waves, but not curls.
- You never understood how beautifully to curl short hair? Just start this procedure not from the face, but from the lower strands near the neck, and slowly move up. By the way, just such a method of winding allows you to achieve the most voluminous, live styling.
- Depending on the thickness of the strands and the temperature of the curling iron, keeping one curl on it costs from five to fifteen seconds. After that, carefully remove the hair from the appliance without spinning it with your hands and without trying to straighten it. The strand should look like a serpentine, in this form it should cool.
- After all the hair has been twisted and cooled, gently, without the help of combs or combs, use your fingers to separate the strands, laying them the way you like, and gently spray the finished hairstyle with varnish at a distance of 30 cm.
Comfortable curling iron Babyliss
Today, a new generation of “independent” Babyliss plates (that is, those that have a rotating element and without any extra effort on the part of a person curl their hair) has become very popular among lovely ladies. As a result, a fairly fast and accurate waving is obtained. Babyliss is safe for hair, but you should not neglect thermal protection. Before starting the styling procedure, in which instead of the usual curling iron you will use a modern one, treat each strand with such a mousse or gel.
The algorithm of your actions should be similar to the above if you want a voluminous and beautiful curl. Babyliss is more suitable for hair than a regular curling iron. This is because the duration of the process itself is significantly reduced, which means that the hair will not be affected so much by exposure to high temperatures.
With an iron, you can not only straighten, but also curl your hair
If you want to achieve really beautiful curls with the help of an iron, for this procedure you will need a model with rather thin heating surfaces. The process of creating such a styling is just as simple and affordable for even a layman to do:
- we treat hair with thermal protection, no varnish should be used before styling;
- to finally understand how to wind short hair with an iron, remember the golden rule: we start curling from the roots, gently grabbing a strand with an iron, slowly scrolling it in our hands, moving along the strand to its very end;
- if it was not possible to get the right curl the first time, divide the strand into smaller ones, wait until the hair has cooled, and slowly repeat the procedure;
- we sort the cooled strands with your fingers, stack to your liking and sprinkle with your favorite hair spray.
We create curls without harming the hair with heat
You do not want to harm your beautiful hair with curling irons, and you have enough time to create a beautiful styling with curls? We will tell you how to wind a short hair without the above devices.
Professional secrets to creating curls using curlers
Stylists know that when working with different types of curlers, the algorithms for performing such a procedure vary.
Consider the process of creating a styling with the help of everyone's favorite hair-curlers:
- they are optimally suited for creating large curls or body waves on short hair;
- you need to wind clean, slightly damp hair;
- Be sure to ensure that the strands are not too large, otherwise you will not get a really beautiful styling;
- having fixed all the hair on such curlers, we begin to dry them with a hairdryer;
- when the hair has completely cooled, carefully remove the curlers, style the hair as you like and fix it with varnish.
A little secret: if you want to achieve more elastic curls or if you want your hairstyle not to lose shape all day, before wrapping the locks on Velcro curlers, treat them with a small amount of mousse or foam with an appropriate degree of fixation.
Boomerang Curlers
If you don’t know how to curl short hair so that you get small and very playful curls, then you just never saw a boomerang curler. They are also wound on slightly damp hair, which can be pre-treated with foam. Whether to blow dry your hair with a hair dryer or wait 3-5 hours until they dry on their own is up to you, but in any case the result will pleasantly surprise you.
Remember: you can not wind such curlers on too wet hair, even if you plan to go to bed with them, because there is a high probability that the strands simply will not dry out, and in the morning you will get a damaged hairstyle instead of a beautiful styling.
We twist hair on improvised means
You probably do not yet know how to wind short hair at home using improvised means to get such a hairstyle as if you had just left the salon. I would like to clarify that such a thin object as pencils, straws for cocktails and similar devices can be a tool that replaces the curling iron or curlers. Using them, you will get almost African small curls. The process will not be different from winding on curlers.
You can even twist the bezel for a Greek hairstyle
Surely each of you has a special bezel that is suitable for creating a Greek hairstyle. Only not everyone knows that if you make it on slightly damp hair and look like it all day, then in the evening you will get a beautiful and stylish styling with elastic curls.
Before you wind a short hair onto such a bandage, treat it with mousse or foam for the best formation of spirals. Putting such a bandage on his head and grabbing one thin strand in the forehead, we wrap it around the rim. After that, take another strand, grab the tip of the previous one, and again repeat the manipulation done.
Since it is quite simple to wind short hair at home on such a bandage, you can do it at least every evening, and in the morning surprise others with perfect styling.
We create "beach" curls
Many girls are interested in the process of creating light curls-curls, such as we see in the top models on the set of advertising swimwear on the sea coast. No matter how hard you try, you can never achieve such a styling with the help of pads, because it should be very light, natural. It is even more difficult to imagine how to create a similar styling on the hair just below the shoulders, or how to wind short hair. Hopes should also not be placed on curlers when creating such a styling.
Professional stylists have revealed the secret of creating such beauty on your hair. Everyone can perform simple manipulations even at home:
- we process wet hair with foam or mousse with a high level of fixation;
- we divide the hair into several strands proportional to the face (2 or 4);
- we twist each strand into a tight tourniquet and with the help of invisibles we fix them on the head;
- wait for the hair to dry on its own, or help them with a hairdryer;
- carefully unfastening each invisibility, unwind the tows, divide the hair into strands;
- just spray the finished styling with a little varnish and enjoy the attention and admiration of everyone around.
Good luck!
