How to use papillotes?
In order to create a stylish hairstyle, experts use a wide variety of tools. So, to make beautiful curls, different electrical appliances or old and time-tested methods are used, for example, winding strands on curlers.
A tried and true option is papillote curlers, which in the old days were made from a variety of means at hand. For example, small scraps of fabric or pieces of thick paper were used for this purpose. Today, papillotes can be bought at any, not even a specialized store. Such curlers are a foam rubber cylinder, inside of which a very thin, but at the same time dense wire is placed... Thanks to this, the curlers hold the hair perfectly and are very convenient to use.
Basic rules of use
Papillots for hair are chosen by many girls and women, because the technology of their use is very simple and does not require special skills from a person. It will be enough to twist the curls on such curlers, and then tie them or just bend them in the form of a boomerang. As a result, you can get a beautiful and stylish hairstyle.
Before you start using papillots, you need to decide on the size of the curls.
It depends entirely on how large the diameter of the bundle will be. That's why, to use the boomerang curlers correctly, you need to read the instructions.
First of all, you need to wash your hair well with your favorite shampoo, and then dry your hair a little, because it is best to wind papillotes on slightly moistened strands. In order for the styling to be able to hold out as long as possible, it is worth using various means... In this case, both foam and mousse are suitable. You can wind curlers in several ways.
In the first case, you need to take a thin strand, and then comb it. After that, it must be tightly wrapped around the papillote, starting from the ends of the hair and moving towards the roots. Next, the foam tourniquet must be tied either with a knot or with a bow. Everything must be done not too tightly.
In the second version, the foam rubber curlers must be fixed in a horizontal position near the hair roots. After that, a single curl must be wound from the very top to the tip, and then the tourniquet must be tied well.
Delicate curls
To create soft and delicate curls, it is worth picking up larger papillotes. It is best to wind curlers in the evening before going to bed, besides hair should be slightly moisturized... Otherwise, they will not be able to dry until the morning, and beautiful curls will not work.
First of all, the curls need to be divided into several small strands.
The more there are, the more beautiful and distinct the wave will be. It is best to wind your hair on straight curlers, starting from the ends. At the end, they need to be brought together or twisted if necessary. In the morning, the papillotes should be unwound and spread a little with your hands. After that, the hairstyle will be completely ready. If you want the curls to turn out not so clear, you need to comb them with a comb with rare teeth. However, this must be done very carefully.
Expressive curls
To get crisp and expressive curls, the papillotes should be as thin as possible. In addition, the strands should also be taken in small pieces. For such a hairstyle, you will need a lot of papillotes - this must be taken into account before starting winding.
To make the curls small and expressive, you should not comb the curls after removing the papillotes, because if you do this, they will turn into a thick and lush mass, and it will be very difficult to return them to their original appearance. That's why it's easier to do everything right from the beginning.
How to curl hair of different lengths?
The hair length of all girls is completely different. Regardless of this, each of them tries to look beautiful.

For short hair, it will be enough to purchase only 10-12 papillotes. Moreover, it is better if their size is the smallest. The diameter of the papillotes depends on the size of the curls. The larger the diameter, the larger the curl will be. In order to wind short hair, it must initially be divided into three equal parts. After that, each of them must be divided into several more small curls.
Next, each individual strand must be twisted on curlers. You need to start from the middle, while grabbing the ends of the hair. Each papillote must be substituted under a single curl, as close to the ends as possible, moreover, do it perpendicularly.
For short hair, it is not necessary to leave the papillotes for the whole night. After a few hours, they can be removed and, as in the previous methods, spread with your hands. In this case, the hairstyle will look gentle and romantic.
How long should you keep the curlers?
