How to curl your hair correctly?
It is quite easy to wind curls with socks.Girls with different hair lengths can make beautiful curls. However, there are certain peculiarities of performing curls for short and long strands. Moreover, soft hair "lends itself" better to this method. If the hair shaft has a rather rigid structure, then this method may not work.
Hair of any length should be washed before curling. Washing is carried out in the usual way using your favorite shampoo. After that, the washed curls must be dried a little with a towel. It is not necessary to completely dry the curls.
In order for the curls to turn out beautifully, the hair should be slightly damp before curling.
Girls whose curls do not fit well enough in order to achieve the best result, before curling the hair directly, it is better to apply a fixing agent - foam or gel. In this case, the resulting curls will look more structured, and will also retain their shape for a long time. Girls who want softer curls or Hollywood-style “waves” can skip this point.
To curl curls in this way, you should stock up on a sufficient number of socks. In this case, it is imperative to take into account the original length, as well as the density of the hair. So, for girls with soft shoulder-length hair, two pairs of socks will be enough for curling. For beauties with long curls, 5-6 pairs may be required. Determination of the required number of socks is carried out individually.
The material from which the socks were made is not essential for curling. However, it is still recommended for this procedure do not use sports socks, as they are rather short - you simply will not be able to get beautiful curls with their help. Girls with long curls will need rather long socks for such a curl. Some beauties even use soft knee-highs when creating such styling.
Short
After all the preliminary steps have been completed, you can proceed directly to curling your hair. It is better to do this step by step. Strand by strand should be wound. Their thickness is selected individually. So, if you want to get naughty curls as a result, then the strands should be made thin. To create soft waves, curls 3-4 cm thick are needed.
Curl should be done from about the middle of the sock. In this case, it is necessary to wind the curls in the direction from the ends up. To prevent the hair from falling apart on its own, the ends of the hair should be secured with a knot. Some girls use thin rubber bands for fixing.
After curling one part of the hair, move to the other. The strands twisted in this way should be left overnight. Carefully remove the socks in the morning.
Middle length
For hair of this length, stock up on 3-4 pairs of socks. It is better to divide washed and dried hair into several zones. Hair can be twisted both from the temporal zone and from the back of the head. So that hair from other parts of the head does not interfere, it is better to fix them with "crabs".
A strand of approximately 5–6 cm thick should be positioned perpendicular to the toe. In this case, the textile product must be placed in such a way that the hair is approximately 1–1.5 cm above its middle. After that, the strand can already be wound, moving towards the roots.
The free ends of the strand must be tied, as in the previous case.
There is another way to curl. It also needs a sock. In this case, it is better to choose a product of sufficient length. After that, the tip of the sock must be cut off (approximately 4–5 cm). Next, you need to twist it into a kind of "donut". Some girls make such a device for home hair curling from two socks at once. In this case, the curls are softer and have an average diameter.
Wet, towel-dried curls must be collected in a high "ponytail". To fix it, you need a regular hair tie. After that, the collected hair in a ponytail should be passed through the hole in the "donut" from the sock. Next, the tip of the tail should be wrapped around the ring. After that, the sock must be twisted up to the head. If done correctly, you will end up with a charming bunch.
Better to do this at night. However, some girls curl their curls in this way, having only 4-5 hours in reserve. It is worth noting that even during this time, curls will appear. But without the use of fixing means for styling, it will not be possible to preserve them for a long time.
Long
It is quite difficult to wind curls of this length on socks. However, beauties with long hair can also do their own beautiful hair this way. After all the preparatory stages, it is recommended to curl the curls, starting from the temples. To get beautiful curls, it is better to wind the strands on the socks in a spiral.
After winding the hair on the temples, it is recommended to perform a similar manipulation on the back of the head, and then on the crown. With curls curled in this way also it is recommended to go to bed.
In the morning, the strands must be removed from the socks and carefully disassembled with your fingers.
Recommendations
To get beautiful curls, it is better to curl with socks at night. During this time, the hair completely dries out in a natural way, which means that it keeps its acquired shape for a long time.
However, there is also an express method. It involves the use of a hair dryer. In this case, the hair should first be wrapped around the socks in the usual way. But they should be dried with a hairdryer, not with a towel. After using this appliance Do not dissolve the curls immediately - it is recommended to wait 10-15 minutes for the curls to cool down. After that, the hair can already be loosened and sprinkled with varnish.
For girls with short hair, the ends of the hair can be waxed to create a beautiful hairstyle. This hairstyle always looks very impressive and is remembered for a long time. To give a beautiful shine, the obtained curls are recommended to be sprayed with a spray containing shimmery particles.
Curls created in this way can look different. So, if the strands were thin when curling, then in this case the curls will turn out to be small. However, the created hairstyle can always be slightly modified. To do this, the resulting curls need to be combed a little. In this case, you will get a beautiful voluminous hairstyle with soft waves.
This method works well for short to medium length hair.
