Hair preparation
Before curling hair with an iron, they need to be prepared. First, wash my hair with shampoo, apply conditioner. Then we process them using a special tool that protects the hair from thermal effects (the use of nourishing cream will only enhance the positive effect). All this is necessary in order to reduce hair damage that occurs due to high temperatures.
How to curl hair with an iron
First, we separate a small lock of hair of the required thickness (remember: the thicker the lock, the larger the curls), pass it through the iron, as when straightening hair. Now we clamp the ends of the hair and wrap. We release the ends and get out the iron so that the strands do not unwind. With the rest of the hair we do the same. If you do not want transverse lines to appear on your hair, make sure that the ironing movements are smooth and continuous.
The resulting hairstyle can be fixed with varnish.
Little tricks
Before you style your hair with an iron, you need to remember a few useful tips.
- If you have long, straight hair, a hairstyle of large curls will look most effective.
- If you want to curl a caret, hold the iron at an angle of 90 °. Hair curl inward or outward. It all depends on what effect you want to get.
- With an extended haircut, curl your hair two to three centimeters from the ends.
- To keep your hair smooth, use a strong hold gel or mousse.
- Using an iron, you can create a wave on a separate strand of hair or on any part of it.
- To create an S-shaped wave, use an iron with a width of 2 cm or less.
- Do not iron wet hair. They are easy to damage or burn.
- Do not hold the iron for a long time in one place.
- Irons with temperature control will do the least harm to the hair.
- Irons with a wide surface are suitable for straightening long hair.
- Use an iron with a narrow work surface for styling short hair. It is also great for straightening bangs and curling hair ends.
- Ceramic-coated irons are suitable for daily use. But they heat up longer than the rest.
- Metal coated irons heat up quickly, but unevenly. Locations subject to the greatest heat can cause hair damage. It is advisable to use such irons no more than four times a week.
- The safest are Teflon coated irons.
