Whatever hairstyles were in fashion, but elegant and feminine curls have always been and remain in high esteem. Curls of hair framing the face hide all the imperfections of the cheekbones and emphasize thin lines. Today, there are many ways to turn everyday life into a solemn image for every day. And what just do not come up with the girls to become owners of elastic curls! Of course, there are enough "artisanal" methods, but they cannot guarantee the correct forms of the resulting hairstyle. And it’s not a fact that after such an effect the hair will retain its former healthy and well-groomed appearance. So today we’ll talk about more modern and reliable ways to give them wavy lines.
So, how to curl hair with special tools? In order to answer this question, it is necessary, first of all, to decide on the choice of technology. Let's consider several options quite accessible for each woman of fashion.
Tongs (they are also a curling iron). Perhaps the most common tool for styling hairstyles at home. But how beautiful is it to curl hair with their help, so much so as not to harm the structure of the hair? Everything is pretty simple. Technology, it seems, is known to any girl who at least once in her life has had to hold this unit in her hands. Now the process has become much safer, but the principle has remained the same. The hair changes shape due to the heating element around which it is wrapped several times depending on the length. The firmer and clearer curls you need, the longer you should keep in touch. And, of course, a sharp change in temperature does not contribute to healthy hair. As a result, the tips can begin to cut off ugly, and they themselves will become dry, brittle and lose their luster.
With process technology, everything is clear. But how to curl hair with minimal loss for them? Use special protective equipment that is now sold in a wide range. The prices for them, of course, are different, but certainly not worth saving. Treating hair will then be significantly more painful for the wallet. Gels, mousses and specialized foams will create a protective coating and protect against fatal overheating. Shampoos and balms will help relieve dryness, strengthen hair.
How to curl hair with a curling iron?
To get started, take care to start work with a clean and dry head. Then choose the most suitable temperature for your hair. If you can’t boast of a luxurious tough shock, then they should be set too high degrees (160-180 on average).
Before curling the remaining hair that you are not currently working with, curl it in a tail or stab so that it does not interfere and do not go forward. Choose not too wide strands. Then the whole curl will warm up evenly and it is better to keep in shape.
After this action, be sure to apply a small amount of the selected protective agent and evenly distribute it along the entire length of the individual strand. Do not squeeze too much, otherwise the hair may stick and become unsightly.
Smooth the strand with your fingers and gently pull it out. Avoid excessive tension, this will adversely affect the result. In addition, hair roots that are noticeably weakened can suffer. You do not want to leave half of your hairstyle in a curling iron?
Grasp the tip of the strand between the plates of the forceps and carefully, controlling the direction, begin to wind the hair onto the curling iron. At the same time, keep the tension so that the layers lay evenly. Each subsequent turn of the strand should lie below the previous one. It is not so difficult, just like curling hair in principle.
Hold the desired amount of time and carefully loosen the clamp of the plates. So it will be much easier to free the wound strand. Do it carefully and do not exert effort. It can also be used for hairstyles curling different sizes and diameters of plates.
Allow hair to cool. Then spread the curls with your fingers and give them the desired appearance. Cover them with hairspray, thereby putting a spectacular dot in your image.
