Owners of long straight hair often wonder: "How to make
curls on long hair?" In this article we will talk about all the options that will help to achieve this. But first, we’ll list all that may come in handy:
- Curling Hair;
- forceps;
- hair dryer with diffuser;
- large curlers;
- styling products (mousses, gels, varnishes);
- elastic for a Greek hairstyle;
- comb.
Option 1. How to make curls on long hair with curlers?
We apply hair styling agent to clean dry hair , an ordinary mousse will do, and wind the strands onto curlers. In order to get voluminous curls for a long time, you need to keep them on your hair for at least two hours. Then it is imperative to sprinkle them with hair spray, preferably strong fixation.
Option 2. How to make curls on long hair with a hairdryer?
The resulting curl with this method is called “flagella”. To create it, we need to divide wet, just washed hair into small locks and twist them into spirals. Next, you need to dry each flagellum with a hairdryer and you're done! At the end, be sure to fix the result with hairspray.
Option 3. How to make curls on long hair with an elastic band for a Greek hairstyle?
This type of curl is perfect for those ladies who are chronically short of time, since it can be done at night. To do this, we put on an elastic band and twist the strands around it on clean, dry hair, previously laid with mousse or other styling means. Creating a curl in this way resembles a Greek hairstyle, but with one striking difference: we do not just hide the hair in it, but we pass each strand through an elastic band. If you have an average haircut, then after a couple of hours the curls will be ready, and if the hair is long, it is recommended to leave the gum on the hair all night. In the morning, it is quite easily removed. On top of the resulting curls, do not forget to apply the varnish to fix it.
Option 4. How to make curls on long hair with tongs?
This is perhaps the easiest way to curl, but for long hair it is not always suitable. It should be abandoned by girls with thick, heavy hair, since the curls obtained in this way will last very briefly, and you will spend time decently on them. It makes sense to use tongs for short and medium haircuts, as well as for curling specific strands. Remember to apply thermal protection to your hair before using them.
Option 5. How to make large curls on long hair?
We need a curling iron for this. The effect from it will be the same as from the forceps: beautiful curls, but not for long. If your goal is to highlight the front strands or curl the ends of the hair, then feel free to take a curling iron in your hands. How to use it? We clamp it on the hair previously treated with a thermal protection agent, and slightly turn it by twisting a strand on it. At the end, spray our curls with varnish.
So, now you know how to make voluminous curls on long hair. Feel free to experiment with hair, not forgetting about their protection!
