Ripple for medium hair: features of choice and styling

Today more and more girls and women prefer romantic, airy styling. A technique such as corrugation will help you quickly change your appearance and get a beautiful, elegant hairstyle. Being an ageless classic, corrugation looks great on hair of different types and lengths, it makes its owner both feminine and effective.

Ripple is an ideal solution for girls with thin, thin hair, as it makes the hairstyle much fuller and more voluminous. This technique allows you to get both finely curled curls and elegant natural waves. Rippling can be done along the entire length of the hair or partially. Any kind of corrugation is obtained using a special nozzle on the iron, which has a relief surface.

It should be noted that the corrugation can only be done on straight strands. If your curls are curly or wavy, you will need to straighten them first. The rest of the spectacular curls are great for women of any physique, age, hair type and color.

Like any technique, corrugation has its pros and cons. Consider the positive qualities of the hairstyle.

• The resulting waves, unlike curled curling iron, will last for a very long time. Most likely, even getting up in the morning, you will find your hairstyle intact. At the same time, it is not even always necessary to use styling or fixing products.
• The corrugation is incredibly simple - you don't have to make an appointment with the hairdresser, even a schoolgirl can handle such a hairstyle.
• If you have fine hair, ripple will visually increase the volume of your hairstyle. In addition, you can choose from a variety of styling options - both for holiday and for every day.
• To create beautiful curls, you do not need to stock up on all kinds of styling products - the only thing you need is an iron with a nozzle and thermal protection.

But there are not so many disadvantages to corrugation, nevertheless, you should know about them.

• It is highly discouraged to get carried away with this technique and use it every day. The heating temperature of the iron can reach 210 degrees, which is a huge stress on the hair. If you use the iron on a regular basis, after a few months you will get sick, split strands that will need to be treated and restored with expensive masks and procedures in the salon.
• When choosing a corrugation, it should be borne in mind that such a hairstyle will not be done in 5 minutes, especially for the entire length of thick and long hair. Here you will have to spend at least 40 minutes, or even more, depending on the type of hair.

In total, there are three types of corrugation for medium hair:

• small;
• the average;
• large.

Each of the species looks completely different, and this must be taken into account when creating a hairstyle.

Small ripple is the best solution for short strands, but many girls perform it on medium-length hair. A characteristic feature of small curls is that they instantly add volume to the hairstyle. That's why small ripple is quite suitable for ladies with thin hair.

A large head of hair, even further increased in volume, will visually round the face.

Medium ripples are a good alternative to shallow ripples. This hairstyle looks very neat, but here the word "curls" will be completely inappropriate, rather, these are some waves. The medium type of technique is a universal solution for girls with any type of face and hair. The waves fall beautifully, and in general are a bit similar to the African types of styling.

According to many ladies, large corrugation looks the softest and most natural. However, to create it, only curls just below the shoulder blades are suitable. Large ripple is especially recommended for girls with already initially thick hair., since you can't get much volume here, only an exquisite and spectacular wave.

For example, at the roots, you can make it large, and the rest of the hair - small. Hairstyles with small ripples, where several strands are highlighted by medium or large technique, also look beautiful.

It is quite easy to do this hairstyle at home. To do this, you only need an iron with a nozzle (curling iron for corrugation) and a thermal protective agent. If you have never crimped your hair before, follow the step-by-step instructions.

1. Turn on the iron and heat to the desired temperature.
2. Comb well and divide your hair into even thin strands.
3. Fasten those strands that are at the top with a crab or a hairpin, since you should start from the bottom.
4. Select a section of hair and place it on the iron with the attachment. Hold for about 7 seconds, then evaluate the result. If all is well, you can continue.

In addition to the instructions, experts have developed a few more additional recommendations for girls. Let's dwell on them in more detail.

• Before making the corrugation, be sure to wash your hair. Important: the hair at the time of creating the hairstyle must be absolutely dry, otherwise you may burn it.
• Do not neglect thermal protection - it will not only protect your hair from the harmful effects of extreme temperatures, but also allow the hairstyle to hold out a little longer.
• On hair that does not want to succumb to any styling, styling mousse or foam is pre-applied. In addition, you can increase the exposure time of the curling iron to 10 seconds.
• If you want to add volume to the curls, start doing the corrugation from the very roots.
• When heating the iron, take into account your type of curls - if your curls are thick or hard, you need a temperature of 210 degrees, for brittle, sore or thin hair, stop at the 180 mark.
