• Lay the tip of the strand in the middle of the curler and start winding the hair until you reach the desired height. This curling option easily allows you to make a wave from the very roots or curl your hair from the middle or only from the bottom.
• When the strand is twisted, pull the ends of the fabric strip into a knot to secure the roller. Wide strips are easier to untie, so be prepared that thin curls will have to be cut off in the morning.

• Wind the whole mass of hair in this way, then cover your head with a scarf or towel. This will prevent the curls from untwisting if you are curling overnight and will also enhance the effect.
• To get the most luxurious curls, you must wait at least 5 hours. Therefore, it is better to wind your hair at night: while you sleep peacefully, the hairstyle will take on the desired shape.
• After the curling time has elapsed, gently unroll the fabric curlers. Take your time and unroll them smoothly so as not to tangle and break the curls.
• Use your fingers to fluff the hairstyle to give it the desired shape, style the curls, fix with varnish. If desired, you can decorate it with accessories.

• If you want a more natural result, use strips of different widths at the same time.
• Hair curled on a rag retains its shape for about as long as you waited for time before untwisting it. For maximum effect, it is recommended to wind the strands in the evening, and do the hairstyle in the morning.
• Curls last longer if you use fixatives.

Want to get bigger spiral curls? Then you will need not only a piece of fabric, but also several sheets of paper (regular office paper for an A4 copier will do). Cut the sheet into wide strips (about 8 cm) - the size of the future curl depends on the width.

Then roll the resulting blanks into cylinders, wrapping them in pieces of fabric of the appropriate size. As a result, you will get a more elastic curler, a bit reminiscent of ordinary curlers. Create a curl in the same way as if you used ordinary rags without paper.

2. Divide each resulting zone horizontally into strands 2-3 centimeters thick.
3. Holding the tip of the separated strand, wind it tightly to the roots and fasten the ends of the impromptu styler to each other. Thus, you need to wind the entire back of the head, starting from the bottom.
4. After winding the occipital zone, it is necessary to separate the parietal from the temporal.
5. It is necessary to wind the temporal zones from the bottom up to the border with the separated parietal part of the head.
6. The bangs area is twisted to the forehead, and the remaining hair is separated by a side or middle parting (depending on how you comb it), and also twisted.

If the strands of hair wound on rags, socks or pieces of paper are the same, then the result will be no worse than after visiting a beauty salon - the curls will be equal, clearly textured and persistent.

Kare and bob-kare are wound in the same way as long hair, but without affecting the lower occipital zone, since it is cut short and simply does not wrap.

Curling short hair

It is easy to wind medium and long strands on stylers. But how to wind on rags short hair?

1. First you need to separate those areas of the scalp, where the length of the strands allows them to be wound.
2. Haircuts with shortly removed lower occipital and temporal zones begin to wind from the bangs, then go to the parietal part, and from it they already go down, capturing those strands whose length allows you to wind them.

For short hair, it is better to use pieces of paper and rags, since the curl is clearer, smaller. Socks are more suitable for medium and long hairstyles, since the formed curl is large.

To keep your curls looking fresh and beautiful for several days, use the following tips when winding them.

1. When buying a mousse, pay attention to what is written on its bottle. You need to take only the one that is intended to create curls. Mousses for smooth styling do not hold the shape of a curl.
2. Use only strong varnishes. Aerosols, sprays of medium and elastic hold are only suitable for smooth or slightly curled styling. And also spray aerosol varnish from a distance of at least 30 centimeters.
3. How to wind your hair on rags to get a basal volume without combing the finished styling? To do this, moving to the parietal zone of the head, we change the angle of the stretch of the wound strand and treat the root part with spray varnish without gas. In order for the hairstyle to look as lush as possible, you need to pull the strand perpendicular to the plane of the head and wind it without changing the degree of the right angle.

Using these tips, you yourself will make curls no worse than in a beauty salon.

How long does it take to wrap

How to remove homemade stylers

In order for the curls to retain their original shape after winding until the next shampooing, to have a clear texture, you need to correctly remove the devices on which the curl was formed.

1. Untie or cut the fasteners one at a time, starting from the bottom.
2. Unwind the strand without stretching, so as not to deform the curl.
3. After removing all the stylers, comb the hair - only with a comb with rare teeth.
4. Immediately fix the resulting curls with aerosol varnish.

Incorrectly removed rags spoil the shape of the curl and significantly reduce the life of the styling.
