Using a volume curler at the roots - the most advantageous option for those with thin hair... Using the simple method of winding, they will get gorgeous raised curls. Working with curlers is referred to as a cold method of creating a root volume, in this case, devices that need to be heated (iron, curling iron) are not needed. All you need is curlers and a comb.

To get the volume, you need to know the main rule: the curlers must be fixed so that they fit snugly to the roots, and remove them after the hair is completely dry. Otherwise, the styling will not last long. To wind curlers on the root part of the hair is not a difficult task. It can be easily done even by those with no experience in hairdressing.

If this is done for short and medium hair, then simultaneously with the root volume you will get curls along the entire length. It is enough for a woman to twist the entire strand on curlers and fix it at the base of the hair. In this case, it is better to use a twist element. with a large diameter.

With the help of curlers, you can lift the hair all over the head, but it is possible only in certain areas. So, today asymmetry on short hair is popular.The curlers are fixed on the side where there is more hair, the other part is not touched and only corrected with styling products. Stylish styling with romantic elements comes out.

Curlers, including those for creating root volume, come in different sizes:

• small in diameter - used to create small curls, they are recommended for owners of short haircuts;
• medium diameter - with their help, the bangs and the front of the hair are laid;
• large size - used for root volume, as well as creating large curls on thick long hair;
• Thermo curlers - they are universal, they are used on any head of hair.

Velcro curlers are ideal for creating volume on the head. Determining the required diameter is not difficult - it all depends on the length of the hair: the shorter it is, the smaller the cylinders will be. They are not recommended to go to bed with them because of the rigid frame, so it is better not to use them at night. But to wind the Velcro and immediately dry the hair - this is a suitable option, you need to remove it carefully.

Large-sized curlers with a diameter of 50–70 millimeters will well lift the roots. Mostly they are plastic, with a mesh surface and are designed for volume and drying hair at the same time. Lying on a pillow with them is also uncomfortable, professionals recommend using them immediately after shampooing, drying the curls on them.

At the present time, there are also modern devices for raising hair, for example, in the "corrugation" technique. You can buy special curlers "corrugation" or clips for root volume Root Volume. To keep the hairstyle longer, it is recommended to apply some styling product to wet hair and fix the clips at the roots. You can dry it either with a hairdryer or naturally. By the way, the "corrugation" technology will help out women with very thick and heavy hair, the usual root volume is useless in this case.

Speaking of current trends, one cannot fail to mention the perm of hair. Yes, the same famous "chemistry", popular in the last century, has changed today and is often used only on the roots as a biowave.

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.

Large, smooth curlers (ideally with a velor surface) are best suited for root volume. But if you have short hair, then it will be inconvenient to work with them. For this option, it is better to choose a different type of cylinders:

• foam rubber curlers;
• bobbins;
• spirals;
• electric curlers.

Their placement can be different: horizontal or vertical. For short hair, horizontal fixation is preferable.

Hot rollers are suitable for all hair types, but their size is selected individually - it depends on the density and length of the curls. If you choose high-quality cylinders, they will last a long time and will not spoil the hair structure.

Velcro curlers with hooks made of lightweight material are suitable for women with thick long hair. So that the volume does not disappear quickly, such hair is necessarily treated with styling products, but in no case is it moisturized with balms - this will make the curls even heavier.

Various devices in the form of curlers, bobbins, spiral ribbons will greatly facilitate the life of any woman, make her charming and spectacular not only in solemn moments, but also in everyday life.
