To get an excellent result, you need to wind the curlers and do not touch or press them. Velcro does not do as much harm as a curling iron or iron does. The absence of heat treatment allows the hair to retain the required amount of moisture in the structure. Curlers need to be stored properly to be pleasant to use.
- Remove any hairs from the sticky pad. It is convenient to use a soft brush for cleaning.
- If the curlers are still wet, then they must be thoroughly dried. If damp items are put into a storage container, an unpleasant and persistent damp odor will appear. The next time you use this unpleasant scent, the hair will also absorb it.
- Periodically, you need to rinse the curlers under running water to remove the remnants of styling cosmetics. Can be combined with antiseptic or disinfectant treatment.
- For storage, it is better to choose a container or box so that the Velcro does not deform.
