Terms of use
The technique for creating root volume is simple. You can wind the curlers on both wet and dry hair. Before wrapping, comb the hair well with a comb and divide it into strands. Start the process from the crown, then go to the back of the head, then go to the side strands. One hour is already enough to obtain the desired volume (ideally, on average, this should take up to 3 hours), hands give the hair the desired shape, fix it.

The heat rollers will speed up the process, the technology for working with them is as follows:
- on slightly damp curls, apply a styling agent or hair volume and dry the strands;
- one strand in the front is isolated and wound to the face;
- the rest of the curls curl towards the back of the head, that is, from the face;
- then they start winding the side strands;
- to obtain volume, it is enough to hold the heated rollers for up to 10 minutes and remove;
- creases (if formed) are straightened with an iron;
- hands shape and fix the hairstyle.

The technology is approximately the same for all types of curlers. The only difference is in the exposure time. If you want to achieve a more long-lasting and luxurious volume, then you can wind the strands on foam rubber curlers or "corrugation" curlers and leave them overnight. You need to remove any curlers by holding the base of the hair with your fingers.
On short curls, using small curlers, you can simulate a perm.Long-haired ladies will not be able to create only the root volume, in this case it is recommended to divide the hair into strands and wind them up to the full length, fixing the curlers at the base of the hair.
If you remember the perm, it is worth saying that bobbins can also be used to create root volume - without the use of chemicals, but only with the usual moisturizing of the hair. With the help of bobbins, you will get not only volume on the crown, but also spiral curls.
The cheat technology in this case is simple, but unusual. The strands are wound from the roots to the end of the length and not horizontally, as is usually done, but vertically. The resulting curls after bobbin-curlers are not combed, it is in them that there is a highlight of such a hairstyle.
