Curling with a curling iron is fast and beautiful. With this simple household appliance you can create multiple vivid images. For example, "Hollywood waves" are very popular now.

But the curling iron can not be used every day. From high temperatures hair loses its shine, becomes brittle and lifeless.

Do not curl your hair more than once a week.

1. How to choose a curling iron

Curling irons differ in coating. The safest for hair are considered ceramic. These curling irons are most often used by professional hairdressers.

Curling irons differ in shape. With the help of conventional cylindrical plates of different diameters, you can get small or large curls. A cone-shaped curling iron helps create basal and playful curls at the bottom. Most cone flats do not have a clip: the tip of the strand must be held, but it does not break. Spiral curling irons make the same curls, and two- and three-barreled ones create a corrugation effect.

Curling irons differ in diameter. The larger it is, the less twisted the curl is. The minimum diameter that can be found in the store is 10 mm. The maximum is 50.

A large-diameter curling iron will not cope with hard, as well as thick, long hair. Large curls under the weight of their weight will quickly straighten up, leaving no trace of curling.

Small curling irons are designed primarily for short hair and curling bangs.

The best option for normal hair up to the shoulders and longer is a curling iron with a diameter of 19–25 mm.

Often the durability of a curl depends precisely on how correctly the tool is selected and the winding technology is observed.

2. How to prepare your hair

When curling with a curling iron, follow three rules:

1. Hair must be clean. Curls on greasy hair will bloom faster than the curling iron cools.
2. Hair must be dry. Curling wet hair with a curling iron is like roasting bread over a fire.
3. Hair must be protected. Before winding on the curling iron, be sure to treat the strands with a heat protectant. It seals the hair scales, retains moisture inside and thus protects against high temperatures. Leave-in sprays are considered more effective.

3. How to curl your hair with a curling iron

Hairdressers advise dividing the head into the occipital, temporal and frontal zones and curling the hair in this sequence.

At home, you can act easier: fix part of the hair at the crown and curl first the lower and then the upper strands. Or, if the length allows, you can make a parting, divide the hair into the right and left parts and curl each.

Whichever option you choose, first separate a strand about 2 cm wide. The thicker the hair, the thinner the strands for curling should be.

If you want curls to last all day, spray your hair with hairspray or treat with beer foam before wrapping it on a curling iron.

Comb the strand and wind it on the curling iron. Twist the strand into a bundle if you want the curl to be tight, like a spring.

Try not to pull too tight and do not pinch the tip with the clamp of the device. To get spiral curls, hold the curling iron vertically. If you want more playful curls, set it horizontally or at an angle.

If you have very long hair, do not wind the entire curl on the curling iron at once: when the tips are almost burned, the upper layers will not even warm up. First, grab the middle of the strand with tongs and twist to the roots. Then curl the end.

Hold each curl on the curling iron for 10-15 seconds. Curling time depends on the power of the device and the desired elasticity of the curls. If the hair is healthy, the curling iron can be heated up to 200 ° C. Thin and weakened hair is best curled at a temperature of no more than 100 degrees.

Carefully remove the curl from the curling iron and lightly sprinkle with varnish.

So that another hot curl does not develop under its own weight, fix it with an invisibility until it cools completely.

Let the curls cool for 10-15 minutes. After that, you can comb them with a comb with rare teeth or fluff them with your fingers.

If necessary, lay the curls in and fix with varnish.

4. How to restore hair

To restore weakened hair, you can use one of the following masks.

1. With kefir and aloe. Warm up 1 teaspoon castor oil and combine with 1 tablespoon of kefir, 1 teaspoon of aloe juice and 1 ampoule of vitamin E. Rub the mask first into the roots, then spread over the entire length of the hair. Hold for half an hour, then rinse with warm water.
2. With egg and honey. Mix an egg yolk with 2 teaspoons of runny honey. Add ½ tablespoon olive oil and apply the mixture to your hair. Hold for half an hour, then wash your hair.
3. With banana and glycerin. Make banana puree with a blender. Add 1 teaspoon of glycerin and the same amount of almond oil. Apply the composition on the head: from the roots to the tips. Keep the mask for 40 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly.

How to make curls with curlers

Good old curlers are used both to create curls and to add volume. Curling curlers usually takes longer than curling irons. But the hair is not exposed to high temperatures.

And thanks to the variety of modern curlers, you can make new hairstyles at least every day. Here, for example, what effect can be achieved with the help of papillots.

However, due to the tension that is created during winding, the blood supply to the hair follicles may be disrupted. If you use curlers often, the hair may weaken and begin to.

1. How to choose curlers

Large and small, plastic and foam rubber, with and without clips - the range of modern curlers is huge. But each type has its own purpose.

Papillots, or boomerangs, are foam or silicone sticks. different lengths, density and diameter. Inside the wire, so that the strands can be wound and fixed in different positions. Suitable for hair of any length: the shorter, the smaller the diameter you need to take. The volume of curls also depends on the diameter.

Velcro curlers are cylinders of different diameters with many small hooks. Hair clings to them, and additional clips are usually not required. Velcro is ideal for creating basal volume on medium and short hair, as well as for curling the ends of long curls. But you need to be careful: such curlers can get tangled in the hair.

Spiral curlers are made of soft plastic and allow you to get spiral curls. To do this, you just need to thread the strands through the curlers using special clips.

Most curlers should not be left on for more than an hour.

Bobbin curlers are threaded wooden sticks that are attached with rubber bands. Spinners are usually used for perm or to create curls on very short hair.

Foam curlers are fixed with rubber bands or special plastic clips. The various diameters of these soft barrels allow you to wind hair of various lengths around them.

Electric and thermal curlers help to make an express curl, as they heat the hair. The former are charged from the mains, the latter need to be boiled in boiling water to melt the paraffin inside them.

Ideally, you need to have in your arsenal and combine curlers various kinds and diameters.

2. How to prepare your hair

For curling on curlers, the hair must also be clean. However, they do not need to be completely dried: curlers are wound on wet hair.

So wash your hair, apply a heat protectant and lightly dry your hair with a hair dryer or let it dry a little naturally.

3. How to curl your hair with curlers

According to the classical scheme, winding hair on curlers starts from the center of the frontal zone and gradually descends to the back of the head. For this you need large curlers. After that, you can curl the hair on the sides on curlers of a smaller diameter.

Using a comb with a thin handle, separate the strand in the middle of the head. It should match the width of the curlers. The thickness will depend on the density of the hair: what more hair and the stiffer they are, the thinner the strand should be.

Moisten the strand with water if the hair is not wet enough. Then treat it with foam or hair mousse.

Comb, lightly stretch and wind the strand. Be careful not to wrinkle the tip. Usually curlers are placed perpendicular to the head, but you can experiment by winding them vertically or at an angle.

After winding the first strand, secure it with a clip, elastic band or hairpin (depending on the type of curlers) and proceed to the next. Try not to wrap too tightly: stretched hair causes discomfort.

With hair that does not take a curling iron and curlers, an iron can handle it. Make curls out of the strands, wrap them in foil and warm them up well.

When finished curling, dry your hair naturally or with a hair dryer. If you're in a hurry but don't want to damage your hair, use the low temperature setting.

Gently remove the curlers when the hair is completely dry. Straighten the resulting curls with your hands or a comb and fix with varnish.

5. Hold for no more than 15 seconds, remove with a duck or invisible hairpin.
6. When the whole head is curled, dissolve the curls one by one. Spray with varnish.

Small curls for short hair

The size of the curling iron plays an important role here: for elastic African curls, forceps with a diameter of up to 19 mm are needed. Performing this styling is as easy as making curls at home for long hair: the only difficulty can be caused by the occipital area - an additional mirror may be needed for it. The essence of the method is as follows:

1. Separate the lower layer of hair with a transverse line, collect their upper mass with a clip.
2. Separate a very thin strand, wind the curling iron onto the cylindrical base from the root, laying the turns close to each other.
3. After 10 seconds (for coarse hair - 12 seconds), remove the curl and cool in the palm of your hand, squeezing it.

How to make curls at home with an iron

This method of wrapping is suitable for owners of long hair, but has several features:

• the iron should have narrow (up to 21 mm) plates;
• strands before creating curls are not treated with anything other than thermal protection;
• curling with an iron is hard on porous hair.

The technique is very simple, but for the first training it is recommended to start work with a cold tool in order to understand how to hold it and make a turn. The algorithm of work looks like this:

1. Divide clean and perfectly dry hair into thin strands. Start curling at the face.
2. Twist the working part of the hair into a not too strong flagellum. Holding the tip, clamp the base with hot plates so that the tool is diagonal to the floor.
3. Rotate the iron around its axis completely, i.e. 360 degrees. Slowly pull down to the width of the plates.
4. Turn the iron again, at the same time removing the ring from its tip. Repeat previous step.
