• The method of such styling is considered one of the most affordable. In this case, you do not need to stock up on very expensive styling products or specialized tools. It is enough to use only a curling iron, thermal protective agents and a hot iron. Often, these components are not used here either - instead of them, you can give the hair a corrugation shape with the help of a large number of small elastic bands.
• Such solutions look very fresh and original. A fashionista, who has a long hair with a ripple effect on her head, will attract a lot of attention, demonstrating her bright personality.
• Corrugated styling is perfect for many young ladies. In this case, almost any shape of the face can take place.

Along with a large number of advantages, corrugation on long curls also has its disadvantages, which you need to be familiar with before doing such a hairstyle.

• It was indicated above that the use of the corrugation technique does not take much time, however, this refers to the partial processing of the hair. If you want to decorate the strands along the entire length in this way, then this will take at least half an hour. Many ladies refer to this feature as a serious disadvantage of this styling.
• In the course of creating such a hairstyle, the hair is heat-treated. High temperatures have never had a positive effect on women's hair, so you shouldn't forget about it. That is why you cannot do such a hairstyle without protective treatment. And it is not recommended to turn to such solutions too often.
• Despite the fact that such styling is done easily, it is still desirable to reinforce it with special styling agents.

There are several types of corrugated hairstyles on long curls. Let's get acquainted with them.

• Large. This type of corrugation looks best on chic and healthy long strands. In a similar way, you can effectively emphasize the beauty and healthy appearance of a rich head of hair.
• The average. This type of corrugation is rightfully recognized as the most popular and frequently encountered. Many young ladies with hair of different lengths turn to the middle version. The popularity of this solution is due to its versatility - the middle corrugation is suitable for curls of any structure and direct type.
• Small. A well-made small corrugation also looks good on ladies' hair, however, stylists advise to refer to such options for owners of not long, but short strands.

If there is a desire, you can turn not to one, but to several types of corrugation at once on one head of hair. For example, in the area of ​​the crown, you can wind a large corrugation, and closer to the ends, form a small one with a curling iron.

On long hair, corrugation can be done in several ways. Many young ladies prefer to do such a flirty hairstyle using a hot iron (special corrugated curling iron) with special attachments. The correct way is to do it like this:

• first, the hair is washed and dried;
• then the strands are combed;
• then they turn on a special iron and wait until it warms up to the set temperature;
• at this time, a special thermal protective agent must be applied to the strands, which will protect the hair from the aggressive effects of high temperatures;
• set the upper strands on the crown, securing it with a hair clip (this is done so that the hair does not interfere with styling);
• now select a small strand, put it between the ironing plates and pinch;
• treat the lower strands with a curling iron-corrugation, but do not hold the iron on the hair for more than 10-15 seconds, if you do not want to harm their structure;
• process the remaining curls in the same way.

If you want to resort to alternative methods, then you should rely on the following instruction:

• apply to washed, but still slightly damp hair with high-quality mousse or foam designed specifically for styling;
• now carefully braid all long curls into thin and equal pigtails;
