Glossy chic
Smooth and perfectly straight hair is an absolute trend in recent seasons. Especially when they are thick, long and healthy. The shiny head attracts the eyes, makes a huge impression, looks stylish and elegant.
To perform such a hairstyle, you need to rinse your hair well. Use a balm with a lamination function. Drying is carried out with a hairdryer and a comb, while ensuring that the air flow enters the strand from top to bottom. So the hair will become smooth, the layered structure will stick together, as it were. The mop looks glossy, elastic, like after professional drying in the salon.
By the way, this technique is the secret of perfect styling in the armchair of the master. Of course, he also treats his head with professional care products. But the main work is done due to the hot air flow for the growth of hairs.
If you have curly or naturally curly curls, use a straightening iron. Gently pull the strands out one by one, from the bottom layers to the crown. Use clips and hairpins.Do not forget about thermal protection and processing of the ends.
The graceful one will help to complete the bow. bandage, delicate hoop, decorative hairpins.
Advice! If you frequently wear loose, straight hair, update your cut line regularly. You can experiment with it for a change. For example, make it semicircular, straight, stepped.
Hollywood curls
When it comes to the most popular styling for long hair, it immediately comes to mind hollywood... These are curls that look like naturally twisted from nature. The coils begin from the middle of the length, with the largest of them being concentrated in the central third. The strands resemble inelastic vertical spirals that elegantly frame the face.
On a note! It is not necessary to wind the strand completely. You can start in the middle, or work only at the ends.
The finished look is feminine, graceful and pretty. Break the curls with your fingers, letting them curl in an arbitrary direction.
- The head is washed, dried in a natural environment or with a hair dryer;
- Apply the necessary cosmetics: mousse, thermal spray, shine serum;
- Divide the shock into sections: two on the crown, temporal, two areas behind. The number of beams depends on the density;
- Start curling from the back of the head;
- The device is heated to a temperature of 170-190 degrees;
- A thin strand is placed between the ironing plates in the place from which the curling is planned (for example, from the middle of the curl);
- Pinch hair and rotate the device 360 degrees in any direction. To maintain balance, the hair on the opposite side is twisted in the opposite direction. So the strands will turn out to be mirror-symmetrical;
- In this position, they begin to slide gently with the iron down on the surface sandwiched inside;
- They reach the ends and release the strand at will;
- Twist the coil with your finger;
- This is done with the whole shock;
- Straighten the hairstyle, model individual strands, sprinkle with medium hold varnish so that they do not look glued together.
Types of hairstyles
We propose to disassemble the types of curls that long-haired young ladies create:
- Soft waves. They can be done with medium-sized curlers. Roll up wet hair and blow dry with a hot hairdryer for 20 minutes. Take off your curlers and comb through. Create captivating waves around the face.
- Easy curling. It is performed using small curlers. Do not be lazy and form thin curls. It is advisable to spend a whole night with them. Free yourself from little helpers in the morning and straighten your curls. Sprinkle them with some water to soften the volume slightly.
- Large curls. Buy large, sticky rings. Wind your hair around them. 6–8 pieces along the right part, 3 on each side. After drying, you will get wide curls that fall beautifully to the shoulders and below.
- Beach bow. Divide the mop into 6-8 pieces. Twist each of them tightly into a tourniquet. Heat each with an iron on high heat. Dissolve the spirals and straighten with fingers wet from the gel with strong hold.
Remember! After finishing your hair, try not to go outside where it is wet or windy. Do not go to the bathroom with humid air for a long time.Otherwise, the newly built composition runs the risk of disintegrating, falling apart, fluffing up. In order not to look like a dandelion or yesterday's graduate after a stormy evening, it is better to wait half an hour for the hair to take the desired position, dry out, absorb all the sprays and fix with varnish.
- Perm a la "Malvina". These are beautiful, elastic, and uniform curls along the entire length, from the roots to the very ends. They are performed with a curling iron or curlers. The secret of durability is in the use of a strong varnish. Complete the design with a bright bow, headband, floral wreath.
How to deal with bangs
If bangs thick, do not twist it together with the bulk. Straighten well and lay flat or to one side. Elongated curl, slightly twist. The shortened one is laid with wax, creating a torn or asymmetrical effect.
Important! When using a styler or iron, adjust the heating time depending on the hair structure. Thin heat less, thicker longer. Curly ones are usually weaker, while straight ones are elastic and strong.
We master the heat rollers
Who doesn't know how to use this cheat method? Our grandmothers also know heat rollers. They allow you to wind the whole head in half an hour, without having to sleep all night on uncomfortable plastic bobbins.
The secret of magic lies inside the device. Metal bobbins are placed in plastic cases, which, as a result of heating, give off heat to the environment for a long time.
- Put a small saucepan on the fire and boil water in it.
- Place the hot rollers in a container and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Roll them over your hair quickly. If you want symmetry, try to choose strands of the same thickness. Aim for messy curls - choose buns of any size.
- Wait for the devices to cool completely.
- Loosen the hair and straighten the curls.
This method is cool to use for pre-winding before a complex high hairstyle... It allows you to give the mop the necessary volume, forms lace curls at the ends, makes random strands graceful and wavy.
What other curlers are
In addition to the above specimens, the following varieties are very popular:
- Velcro. They are also called "hedgehogs". On a mesh plastic roller, a material with small loops and hooks is pulled, for which the hairs cling well. Twist the semi-dry hair and then dry it with a hairdryer. The result is wavy strands, elegant waves.
On short hair in this way, the root volume comes out perfectly. It is not necessary to subject the entire surface to the procedure. Sometimes only the top of the head or lateral areas are lifted. It is convenient to twist the bangs with the help of "hedgehogs".
- Small papillotes. There are wooden, plastic, rubber. They are sticks with an elastic band. The curl is wound from the tip to the root and fixed with an elastic band. "Little demon" of playful curls will be provided for you!
- Boomerangs. The flexible wire frame is wrapped in a rubberized material. Or foam rubber with elastic components in the composition. They are conveniently bent into any shape, soft, comfortable to sleep on. The hairstyle turns out to be lush, wavy.
- Bobbins. Spirals with fine or coarse threads help create spiraling strands.
We use an iron
The iron is one of the coolest devices that the hairdressing world has invented. Just imagine, 40 years ago, our mothers and grandmothers ironed their hair with an iron! They took gauze, and, like a pair of trousers, a simple Soviet iron! Of course, not all girls dared, but many tried.
Today's appliances are much more gentle on texture. Allows you to regulate the temperature. They include useful functions, such as ionization, anti-static effect, etc. And with their help, you can not only smooth your hair, but also wind it.
Learning to use the device is not difficult at all. The main thing is to use thermal sprays and serums that protect the plane from overheating. Well, and do not get too carried away, give the hair a break, control the heating.
Curls with a curling iron
A very handy thing for creating great curls. Luxurious styling with matching doll curls can be done very quickly and easily. Also, the curling iron helps to slightly twist the ends, loose strands in the ponytail, knocked out, framing the face.
Recommendations for working with a curling iron:
- Try to start curling from the occipital zone, gradually moving to the temporal zone. The crown is drawn up at the final stage.
- Always apply styling mousse and then a strong polish when finished.
- Choose areas that are uniform in thickness to keep your styling looking neat.
- Do not start the process until the head is completely dry. Otherwise, you risk burning your hair.
