Lovely young ladies always strive to look perfect, and hairstyle plays an important role in this situation. Many cannot imagine their life without the use of curlers, which are presented on store shelves in a huge assortment. Soft curlers are in special demand due to their convenience.
They absolutely do not injure the hair, are suitable for twisting them at night and have a lot of other advantages, which we will discuss in more detail in our article.
General terms of use
Using soft curlers to make curls is a snap. However, there are general rules that must be followed in order for the hairstyle to please its owner with an excellent look and not cause trouble. The first and main rule is to start the procedure only when the hair is clean and slightly damp. When washing them, it is recommended to use a balm or conditioner, this will help soften the strands and make them more manageable, which greatly facilitates winding.
Besides, a little styling product should be added to the curls while they are still wet... This will make your hair look smoother and more neat. If you plan to use a hair dryer for drying, tilt your head down and direct the air stream directly to the roots. This simple action will help to add root volume, respectively, the hairstyle will not look "sleek". The ends of the strand should not be bent. They need to be laid as evenly as possible. Otherwise, after removing the soft curlers, they will bulge in different directions.
You also need to remember that thinner hair should be divided into small strands, this will give additional volume.
The step-by-step procedure is as follows. It should start from the middle of the head. The strand is neatly separated, combed, sprayed with varnish. Its width should be equal to the width of the curler. It curls inward from the tip. The curls should be pulled towards you, and twisted perpendicular to the hair growth. The product is fixed near the head. If the hair has time to dry, it must be additionally sprinkled with water. How long you keep the curlers on your hair depends on their structure and quantity.
The main advantages of such curlers are convenience and softness. Their shape can be different, however, cylinders or balls are especially popular. Curls can be fastened in different ways. The length of the hair does not matter for this procedure. You can also change the exposure time. For light curls, you can wait quite a bit, and perky curls are formed if you leave the products on your head throughout the night.
Hair curling techniques
You can create spectacular curls using soft curlers in several stages. Let's try to disassemble each of them. In this case, the type of curler does not really matter. First you need to prepare your head. The first thing to do is wash your hair properly. After that, the strands are slightly dried. You can use a regular towel. After that, you need to wait a while.
Comb the hair before curling. If it is planned that the styling should last for a rather long time, you can apply a special mousse or foam to them, however, this is not a prerequisite. The hair is divided into even strands and rolled up on curlers. It's best to start in the middle of your head, but you can twirl your bangs first. After that, the products remain on the head for a certain period of time, and then they are removed.
It is not necessary to curl the hair along the entire length. In some cases, it is permissible to pay attention exclusively to the tips. This can help create an original and dramatic look. In such a situation, only the ends of the hair are moistened with water, after which they are twisted on curlers. The effect will enhance the application of styling products. As a result, the cute young lady will get beautiful wavy ends.
The creation of root volume also depends on the curling technique. To lift hair, curlers are rolled almost to the roots. In this case, experts recommend using the most convenient varieties. You can choose a mass of laying methods.
However, more often than not, the fair sex prefer to twist frequent curls for short hair and smooth waves for long ones.
Long
If we are talking about long hair, choose wider curlers for them. The ratio to length will have to be considered. As in other cases, the hair is washed, dried naturally and combed properly. After that, the strands are twisted on curlers. The thickness should depend on the desired result. For curly hair, thin strands are taken, for wavy hair - more voluminous.
Middle length
It should be noted that large curls will look and hold best on medium hair. The procedure is carried out similarly to the previous one. After preparation, the strands are wound on curlers, a certain time is waited, after which they are untwisted and sprayed with a styling fixing agent.
Short
You can curl short hair using foam curlers or boomerangs, and the first type is most often preferred. The twisting should start from the back of the head, moving towards the forehead and temples. In this case, the strands should be quite large, otherwise there is a chance to get the "lamb" effect and excessive volume.
The preparatory and final stages do not differ from the previous ones.
How to remove correctly?
The withdrawal procedure is also noteworthy. Oddly enough, but it depends on what type of curlers was used - foam or spiral... In the first case, the product should be released in the opposite direction, as opposed to curling. After the strands are loosened, they need to be combed with your fingers and sprinkled with varnish. It is not recommended to use a comb at this stage. The spiral covers are simply pulled off the hair in turn.
Dry your hair naturally. However, since this takes a long time, you can also use a hot hairdryer. After the strands are completely dry, they need to be sprayed with varnish, retreating a sufficient distance. Next, the curlers are removed, the hair is carefully disassembled with your fingers, after which it is again fixed with varnish.
There are some remarks about the morning procedure. If it was decided to wind the hair in the evening, and it is planned to remove the curlers only in the morning, it is necessary to do this after all the water procedures, and in the case when you are planning to take a shower, you must definitely put on a hat. It is also recommended that you wash and get dressed initially.
It must be remembered that high humidity is detrimental to curls. Therefore, for insurance, just in case, before removing the curlers, dry your hair with a hairdryer. The products are removed in the same order in which they were fixed before. There is no need to rush here.
Hairdressers recommend handling the varnish more carefully. The fact is that its excess can deprive a hairstyle of naturalness. However, in the case where maximum fixation is required, this rule can be deviated from. But you need to take into account that you should not comb your hair in the evening after using the varnish. It is better to wash your hair immediately before bed.
