It's no secret that an improperly selected hairstyle can spoil the entire image. That is why the ladies who monitor their own appearance are so kind to hair. Recently, foam rubber curlers have become increasingly popular. How to use them, you will understand from this article.
Advantages and disadvantages of such products
Let's start with a few cons. These include the fact that the fixation on foam rubber curlers cannot be called reliable. These rather soft products, so to speak, are “adapted for night sleep”. However, those who are spinning on a pillow should not count on perfect curls. Keep them on your head preferably at least five hours. Removing the curlers before the expiration of this period, you will not get a very good result.
These products are soft elastic papillots wriggling in any direction. They come in different lengths. Thin curlers are ideal for creating small voluminous curls, thick ones for large curls.
The advantages include the simplicity of their operation and compactness. They do not take up much space. Therefore, a small box or cosmetic bag is perfect for storing them. They can be used not only for medium, but also for long hair. But the owners of short haircuts will have to look for another way to curl, because foam curlers can not fix their curls.
Existing varieties
All soft curlers can be divided into two categories: horizontal and vertical. With their help, you can get a different form of curls. Some are suitable for creating spiral curls, others for ring-shaped curls.
Horizontal products may vary in diameter. The smaller it is, the more curls you get on one strand. In most cases, they are fixed on the hair with an elastic band or plastic clip. Those planning a nightly installation, it is advisable to opt for the first option.
Spiral foam curlers in appearance resemble twisted covers. They vary in length and width. Included with them is a plastic hook, necessary to capture the strand and place it in curlers. Curls are fixed with a rubber band.
Preparing for a perm on a foam rubber curler
Hair must be supple. To do this, first wash your hair with a softening conditioner. To curl curls turned smooth, it is recommended to process the hair with liquid silicone or styling foam.
You need to wind dry hair. This will avoid the appearance of unaesthetic creases. After combing wet curls and lowering your head down, dry them with a hairdryer. This is necessary to give curls a beautiful volume. Otherwise, they will look “sleek”.
How to wind foam rubber curlers?
The technique is extremely simple, so you can cope with this task yourself. It is recommended to start the curl from the back. Horizontal papillots must be placed so that they are perpendicular to the strand. Then we begin to twist the tip of the curl up or down to the very roots. Hair is fixed with an elastic band. The same thing is repeated with the remaining strands.
Spiral foam curlers are quite simple to use. The plastic hook attached to them is placed in the case so that a strand can be caught at its end. The combed curl is twisted at the base so that a loop is formed, which must be stretched into a straightened cover. When the hair is inside, you should remove the hook. It is advisable to do this through the bottom. In such cases, it is recommended to use medium-thick strands, since excessively thin ones will be poorly fixed, and thick ones may not curl.
Soft curlers are usually used for night styling, so it is better to start opening curls after morning washing and make-up. It is advisable to start from the bottom. Freed strands can be separated with your fingers and lightly sprinkled with varnish. This will achieve the desired result and consolidate the effect.
To remove the soft spiral curlers, it is enough to simply pull off the covers first from the lower strands - in the same order in which the winding took place. You should start from the back, gradually moving to the side curls and ending with the crown.
Useful Tips
Specialists know several special techniques that have been successfully applied in the winding process. So, the longer the hair, the thinner the strand should be. The studs used to fasten the papillots are stuck in the opposite direction to the wound.
To prevent the strands from sliding off the curlers, the latter should be lengthened with plain paper. To fix thin hair, it is advisable to choose products that are characterized by a light texture.
