How to pack?

There are different ways to style your hair.

Hairdryer

Consider a classic blow dryer. Before you start creating a hairstyle, you should wash your hair and then gently comb your hair, dividing it into strands. Use a special shampoo and balm formulated for synthetic strands. The preparation gently cleanse the hair without damaging the structure.

In the process of washing, it is advisable to direct the jets of water to the face and hair, slightly raising the face. Do not lower your head down so as not to displace the fasteners that hold the strands. The hair is combed only after it is completely dry.

To speed up the process, you can use a hairdryer, but only in cold air mode.

In order to wind up voluminous and elegant curls, we need a round brush and a hairdryer with the function of supplying cold air.

The best design option is free styling on loose hair without the use of braids and hairpins. This style is suitable for almost any length and will be appropriate both for a special occasion and for every day.

If desired, you can apply a spray to the curls for smoothness and "obedience" hair. Using a comb and hair dryer, pinch the strands and curl each strand separately. When working with strands, do not linger on the ends for a long time. If you want more curly curls, divide your hair into smaller sections.

To finish off, add some wax to add a glossy shine to your hair. To preserve the result for a long time, use a fixative, such as varnish.

Using a curling iron

Curly and playful curls can act as a complement to the hairstyle, and in the form of a self-contained decor.

For a beautiful and trendy hairstyle, have the following tools ready:

  • hairpin "crab";
  • fixing varnish;
  • spikul (comb with a fine handle for separating hair);
  • curling iron.

Let's consider a step-by-step workflow.

  • While the curling iron is heating to the desired temperature, you need to collect the hair at the crown and fix it with a crab, leaving only a part of the strands on the back of the head. We divide the hair into strands and wind each one on a curling iron. We hold for about 6 seconds, no more.
  • Separate the curls using the tip of the comb. This will make your hair look more neat and natural. According to this principle, we wind all the hair, moving from the back of the head to the crown.
  • Before working on the strands at the top of the head, you need to comb them gently to increase the volume.
  • As soon as all the hair is curled, you should arrange the parting (side or center - of your choice). We fix the obtained result with varnish. Do not use a large amount of this product, otherwise the hairstyle will lose its splendor and attractiveness. This hairstyle option is perfect for a wedding celebration. The image can be supplemented with a diadem and other decorations.

Note: using this technique, you can arrange afro-curls. Their only difference is that they are smaller and curled.Such curls are more suitable for owners of short and medium length hair.

Retro hair

Prepare the following to work:

  • The hair on the crown should be easily combed and collected with a snail, while leaving the top layer intact. We fix everything with thin pins or invisible pins.
  • Collect the hair on the back of the head, wrap it inward and fix it. The result is a tourniquet in the back and lush volume in the front.
  • Divide the front strands and lay them on both sides, closing the fleece. This will create a graceful wave of hair around the ears. At the end, we spray everything with varnish.

    Let's analyze the process step by step.

    • First you need to separate the large triangular strand at the crown. Divide the curl into two halves. We twist one of the strands into a tight bundle clockwise (to the left). In the process, add small strands of hair from the temples.
    • We twist the second part of the curl in the same way.
    • We combine the two resulting beams at the back of the head, securing them with hairpins. Instead, you can use a thick hair tie.

    Waterfall

    For long hair extensions, this styling option is suitable. This look is ideal for a romantic meeting or social event.

    How to do:

    • all hair is divided into three parts of the same size;
    • we fix each at the roots with an elastic band;
    • we twist the ends of the tails with tongs or a curling iron;
    • two strands on the right and left sides need to be combed gently, lifted, and stabbed from the back - this will add additional volume to the hairstyle.

    Specialist recommendations

    As a rule, after going through the extension procedure in the salon, the client receives instructions on how to care for artificial strands. It contains all the information you need to know, including how to choose the right shampoo. Be sure to read the brochure.

    When curling, do not lean a hot curling iron or tongs against the fastener. Otherwise, you can destroy the special capsules that hold the artificial strands. The optimal distance is about 6 centimeters from the roots.

    Feel free to try a variety of hairstyles by experimenting with looks. However, always remember about safety precautions and rules for preserving extended strands.

    Care

    Let's list the basic rules for caring for non-native hair.

    • Use combs with teeth made of wood or plastic, preferably without balls at the ends.
    • The maximum number of combing per day is no more than three times.
    • Do not go to bed with wet hair, otherwise it will be almost impossible to comb.
    • Visit a salon once a month for a professional synthetic hair treatment. This is a must as the strands are not naturally nourished.
    • When applying balms and masks to natural hair, make sure that the drug does not get on the capsules. It is advisable to keep their use to a minimum.
    • Use special thermal protection when laying with a curling iron and other similar tools.
    • Use low or neutral pH detergents.
    • Never use dry shampoos. Also, do not wash your hair with hot water.
    • When visiting saunas, swimming pools and baths, be sure to protect your hair with a special cap.
