There are many ways to create curls and cool curls. Experts recommend using curlers - in this case, the risk of thermal injury is minimized, and the waves are stylish and beautiful. To achieve the desired result, the strands should be wound correctly.
Basic techniques
Twisting the curlers allows you to cope with a number of tasks at once:
- give hair the desired shape;
- protect the hair structure from thermal damage.
When winding curlers, less time is spent than when making curls with a curling iron.

Regardless of the working technique used and the type of curlers, before starting the manipulations, it is advisable to thoroughly wash your hair, treat the locks with a conditioner balm and comb thoroughly. For a stronger hold, you should treat your hair with styling products before curling. To do this, take mousses, gels, as well as foams and varnishes.
However, remember - when carrying out a hot curl with them, you need to be as careful as possible, since under the influence of heating, the curlers themselves heat up the curls. If a low quality styling product is used, this will lead to a deterioration in the structure of the hair shaft, leading to rapid breakage, thinning and even hair loss.

Moisturizing the hair mass is carried out using a spray bottle or curlers are wound after shampooing, when the strands are dry to a slightly damp state. They start to wind up from the parietal region, then process the anterior region, the temples and, last but not least, the back of the head. It is very important not to allow creases when creating a curl.
Before removing the curlers, you should make sure that the hair is completely dry. After removing the elements, you must leave the curls for 20-30 minutes and only then carefully disassemble them with your fingers.
The resulting styling is fixed with varnish for longer wear.

If you twist the curlers too often, the hair will begin to fall out. This type of treatment tends to weaken the hair shaft and dry out the curls, so you should not resort to curling more than twice a week. There are several different cheating schemes, the use of which depends on the length of the curls, the presence of a specific type of curler and the desired result.

Horizontal
Horizontal wrapping gives an increase in volume in the root zone, so the method is optimal for the fair sex with thin, liquid hair. Can be used on curls of any length, optimal for hard curlers - ceramic or plastic.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2019/10/kak-nakruchivat-bigudi-32.jpg)
The curling scheme is as follows.
- The prepared strands must be divided into 3 parts: one parietal and a pair of temporal.
- The twisting process starts from the parietal region. To do this, a small strand is allocated right above the frontal zone in such a way that its size is commensurate with the size of the curlers.
- The strand is lifted up strictly perpendicular to the crown.
- The selected curl is combed and carefully placed on the ends of the elements.
- The hair is pressed tightly and curled, moving from the forehead to the crown area, while slightly pulling it towards the face.
- We pay special attention to the fact that the curl must be twisted to the roots, otherwise traces of the clamp will be noticeable.
- According to this scheme, the entire middle part of the crown is wound: starting from the forehead, moving to the back of the head through the crown.
- Hair in the temporal areas is twisted in a similar way.
- When all the hair has been processed, you should put on a mesh or a nylon cap on your head.
- To speed up curling, the strands can be dried with a hairdryer and wait until they cool down.
- At the final stage, unwind the curl upward from the back of the head and comb a little from the ends to the roots.

Vertical
This perm allows you to achieve a descending cascade of curls without creating root volume. Suitable for curls longer than 15 cm.
The curling scheme is as follows.
- Tie some clean hair into a tight ponytail at the crown of your head.
- At the bottom, near the back of the head, separate the thin strand with a horizontal parting.
- Twist the curls in a chaotic direction, while the curlers themselves must be kept vertically.
- Having finished one horizontal row, you should proceed to the second - separate another strand, divide it into several narrower ones and wind each one.
- In this way, you should treat your hair until everything is curled.
- Dry your hair with a hairdryer.
- The elements are removed starting from the bottom, the resulting curls are taken apart by hand or with a comb with rare teeth.

Spiral
This technique involves the use of special curlers with spiral grooves or papillotes on a soft base. In the first case, the lock is fixed with a thin elastic band, in the second - by twisting in the form of a ring.
The scheme is as follows.
- Gently comb the wet hair and divide it into 4 parts: a pair of temporal, one at the back of the head and one in the parietal region.
- Roll the strands from the hair roots to the ends.
- Let the treated hair dry naturally.

How to use different views?
Each type of curler has its own peculiarities of use.
Boomerangs
These flexible bendable curlers are more popularly known as papillotes. Visually, they look like rubber or foam rubber cords on a wire basis - thanks to this structure, they can be given a very different shape, alternate between wide and narrow curls, and form large curls. Such elements have many advantages:
- they keep their shape perfectly;
- do not slide down during fixation;
- do not leave visible creases on the curls;
- easy and quick to remove;
- have an affordable cost.
The softness of the boomerangs allows you to wind them up for the whole night. Papillots are universal, therefore they can be used by both women with long and short strands. Fixation is very simple - the strand is twisted in the center of the papillote, and then the curlers are curled up and down on both sides. Hair positioning can be done using a horizontal or vertical method.

Velcro
These elements are the simplest curlers on a metal or plastic base. They stick to the hair quite tightly and do not come off. In retail outlets, you can buy elements of small, as well as medium and large diameters, traditionally one set includes 6-8 curlers, therefore, for thick, as well as long hair, you will need 2-3 sets. Velcro has many advantages:
- there are no clamps on them, which excludes the appearance of kinks on the hair;
- if you wish, you can wind only the tips;
- thanks to the gaps in the frame, the strands dry much faster;
- curlers can be taken with you on the road;
- have a low price.
At the same time, Velcro has its drawbacks. So, on long strands, they often get confused, and on short ones, they simply fall off. In addition, Velcro should not be applied at night, since during sleep they cause significant discomfort, can unwind and even break. The fixation is done either vertically or horizontally.

Thermo curlers
This curling option is only used on dry hair. Thanks to the use of accessories, every woman can quickly get curls without resorting to hot styling techniques. Hot rollers consist of a frame made of plastic and a paraffin rod. The base heats up quickly, and the inner layer cools down, on the contrary, for a long time, thanks to which the product does all its work safely.
To use heat rollers, they must be placed in water heated to 60-80 degrees, and held for several minutes. The heated element is pulled out and locks are quickly wound on it. As the elements cool down, they give off their warmth to the hair, due to which the curls take on a curled shape. The exposure time ranges from 15 minutes to half an hour - until the curlers are completely cool.
Please note that heat rollers can harm your hair, so you can wind them no more than once every 7-10 days.

Spirals
Curling curls on spiral curlers is not difficult. As a rule, these are wooden or plastic sticks, on which markings are applied in a circle. The elements are small, so the curlers are optimal for both long hair and a square, however, they are not suitable for ultra-short strands. The effect of styling on a spiral is usually longer than from other types of curlers. Spiral styling is time-consuming, but the strand obtained in this way has a much more natural and glamorous look.

Bobbins
To use these options, curlers will require skill. They are optimal for both regular and perm. Usually they are made of plastic, in the center of the bobbin they have a slightly smaller diameter than at the ends. The strand is fixed to the element with staples, as well as clips or an elastic band. The main advantage of the curler is the ease of curling the hair and the low cost of the set. The disadvantages include the duration of the curling procedure and the long drying period of the hair.

Foam
These soft products are considered universal - they allow you to quickly and easily curl your hair according to any pattern. Hair curlers have a wire frame, usually the hair is directed both vertically and horizontally. Experts recommend using foam elements on strands of medium length, then the image will turn out to be a little sloppy, but neat and stylish.The use of foam curlers allows you to create the effect of additional volume on your hair.
Among the shortcomings are noted:
- foam rubber tends to absorb moisture, which significantly lengthens the drying time of curls;
- if you wind your hair overnight, then the foam rubber will flatten, as a result, the strands will turn out to be not round, but broken and deformed;
- when drying, creases are noticeable on the hair;
- with frequent use, the curlers quickly lose their shape, therefore they have to be changed often.

Electric curlers
Visually, such elements resemble thermal ones, they are pins to which an electric current is supplied that transfers heat. These curlers can be made from a variety of materials:
- metal - cheap, but at the same time unsafe elements, besides, they dry out the hair;
- ceramics - safe and durable products, do not emit hazardous substances, but at the same time, they are more expensive than all other options;
- plastic - has affordable prices and complies with current safety standards.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/10/kak-nakruchivat-bigudi-22.jpg)
The advantages of electric curlers include:
- fast warm-up;
- the possibility of using on all types of hair;
- easy transportation.
The use of this type of curling is allowed no more than 1 time per week. With more frequent curling, there is a risk of damage to the hair. Before curling, it is imperative to apply heat protection agents to the strands.

How long should you keep the curlers?
Despite the fact that it is possible to wind curlers for the whole night, experts in the beauty industry still recommend resorting to this method in the most extreme cases. Such a long-term effect for curls can be compared to torture - the hair shaft is injured, the hairs split and even break. In addition, strands that are taut for a long time cause migraines and can even cause a sharp jump in blood pressure. That is why it is recommended to carry out manipulations no more than 2-3 hours for ordinary curlers, and keep the thermal and electric ones for 15-25 minutes.
For to dry your hair faster, you can use a hairdryer... Due to the physical features of the structure of the hairs, the hot air jet is not capable of harming those parts of the hair that are wound on the curlers.
Before blowing a hair dryer on the hair, curled with Velcro curlers, fix it with a net, otherwise, under the influence of the air flow, they will simply come off. This will not only ruin the styling, but also injure the hair.

Here are some recommendations.
- If you are the owner of thinned curls, then it is best to make the strands as thin as possible, this will give the hair additional volume.
- You cannot curl too heavy hair in large strands, they develop quickly and will not hold their shape. In this case, it also makes sense to use a thin curling on small items.
- It is necessary to wind the hairs on any curlers starting from the middle of the length, first of all, the lower part is wrapped in strands, and then the elements themselves rise to the roots.
- Unfold the curls only after all the hair is completely dry and cool.
- You can disassemble curls only with your hands or with a comb with long sparse teeth, using a brush will lead to deformation of the hairstyle.
- Keep in mind that the number of elements should be sufficient - for thick and long hair, more of them are needed.
- Select the correct diameter of the curler. Ideally, you should purchase several models - this approach will allow you to get more interesting and stylish styling. Around the face, narrower curls are used, on the middle part of the head, respectively, large ones. Medium curlers are twisted in the back of the head.
- If your curlers have an elastic band, you do not need to fix them, as this leads to the appearance of untidy and unaesthetic creases.
- Do not put curlers on damaged hair.
- It is very important to keep track of your curlers. After each use, they should be cleaned of entangled hairs and rinsed under running water with shampoo, then dried and placed in a bag for the next curl.
