How to make a corrugation without a curling iron?

As you know, girls with wavy and curly hair dream of having straight, even hair, and those with straight ones - to wind it. Curly hair gives volume to the face, makes the hairstyle lush. They decorate the girl, making her more attractive.

In the pursuit of beauty, many devices and techniques were invented. One of the ways to look stylish, to visually increase the volume of hair is to make yourself a ripple.

Ripple - creating waves on the hair. They can be of different widths and sizes, depending on the iron. It is through waves that volume is acquired. If you do it from the roots, then the volume will be only from the roots. And you can also make it along the entire length.

The corrugation is created using a special iron. It looks like a regular hair straightening iron, only there are bends inside it, which create the desired waves. Now these corrugation attachments are included in a set for a regular straightening iron. Usually there are 3 of them in a set - of different widths.

Corrugation was invented in the 70s of the last century, but it is still popular today, since creates a beautiful pattern on the hair and volume that lasts for a long time. Any hairstyle with corrugation strands will sparkle in a new way.

Ripple suits almost everyone. Large waves and medium-sized waves look better on long hair. All types of waves can be made on medium length hair. If done very finely, then the strands will rise strongly and look up, as it were, which is not entirely desirable. On long and medium hair, you can combine waves at different lengths of the strands. For short - large waves are suitable, which will give the necessary bend.

At the roots, you can make a large wave, and below - a smaller one. It all depends on the thickness and volume of the hair itself. The main thing is not to make the poodle effect.

Ripple suits both girls with bangs and without them. With a little practice and trying to make different types of waves, it will become clear which one is right for you.

Before you start making a flute, read below. rules and guidelines to preserve and protect hair.

• Never fluff on wet or damp hair. As with using a curling iron or a regular iron, the hair becomes very hot, as a result of which it becomes dry, and the hair scales open, making the hair loose and dry.
• Use thermal hair protection products, of which there are many in stores. They will partially be able to protect the strands from the effects of temperature.
• It is not recommended to do the corrugation daily or constantly. The ripple effect lasts quite a long time - until the next shampooing. If the hair is long and heavy, the strands will straighten out faster under the weight of the hair. Once a week, not more often - this is what hairdressers recommend. Otherwise, you risk seriously ruining your hair.
• If you already use corrugation on an ongoing basis, then you will have to take care of your hair more and more intensively. It is recommended to make masks for hair, apply at night before shampooing hair oils - to nourish and strengthen them. Naturally, if there are no foams or other styling products on the hair. In this case, you should wash your head, and only then deal with their strengthening, moisturizing and restoration.

Corrugated strands are created by weaving braids. The braids need to be braided tightly to the very bottom of the hair, otherwise the ends of the strands will look sloppy against the background of the head with waves along the entire length.

At the ends there will be these same pieces of fabric, and the edges of the hair will not differ from their rest of the pattern created by the pigtails.

It is better to weave braids on washed and almost dry strands. On average, you need to braid 8-10 braids. These are general guidelines. It all depends on the density and thickness of your hair.

When weaving, keep in mind that the smaller the braids, the smaller the waves will be, and the greater the volume. Therefore, it is recommended to start with a minimum number of braids, and after the first experiment it will become clear whether it is enough, or if you want the effect of smaller bends.

If you have healthy and moisturized heavy strands, then it makes sense to apply a little foam before braiding so that the effect lasts longer.

Ideally, you need to weave for 5-10 hours before going out, so that the hairstyle will last for a long time. You can do this at night. Every girl can make such a corrugation, because it is quite simple. This will completely change the image. Naturally, the braids should be the same size. It is better to divide the head into zones and weave, dividing the strands in the zones. Clips can be used to separate the zones.

After the required amount of time has passed, the braids should be unraveled. If the braids were large, you can gently comb the strands and lightly sprinkle with varnish.
