• Before you start winding the strands on the curling iron, you need to thoroughly wash your hair. After that, it must be dried. Such styling cannot be done on wet hair.
• A special thermal protective agent should be applied to the dried strands. It will protect the structure of hair (especially thin) from the negative effects of high temperatures, which the curling iron will affect the selected strands.
• Make sure your hair is completely dry. Even on a slightly damp mop, curls cannot be made with a curling iron.
• Then you can go directly to curling your hair. It is advisable to start doing it on the front of the head. It is better not to touch the bangs at all.
• A small strand should be picked up by the ends with tongs, and then carefully screwed onto a curling iron. The thicker the selected strand is, the larger the curls will be in the end.
• To make the formed waves softer and smoother, it is enough to hold the curling iron on each strand for about 5 seconds. Do not overexpose the device on the head of hair, so as not to cause serious harm.
• Next, the curl will need to be very carefully released from the device. Allow the strand to cool, then sprinkle with high hold varnish.
• If you want the styling to be more lush and voluminous, you should wind the curls in different directions. Due to this, the hair will turn out to be more solid and expressive.
• Once you finish curling each strand, spray the styling with a high hold nail polish again. Thanks to this procedure, the hairstyle will keep its shape longer and look neat / aesthetically pleasing.

Beautiful light curls are obtained if done with an iron. This device is used more often for straightening hair, but it can also create elegant curls of different sizes. There are three main ways to give your hair a wavy shape using an iron.

Let's see the step-by-step instructions for the first popular method.

• Wash your hair, and then comb it thoroughly. Next, separate a thin strand from the entire shock.
• Pick up the selected strand with a straightener (iron) in the area where you plan to start forming a wave. In this case, it is worth helping yourself with your free hand - wrap a strand around the device with it.
• Warm up the caught hairs, and then gently release them.
• The same actions should be carried out along the entire length of the strand.
• When the hair is completely cool, sprinkle it with varnish to fix the resulting wavy shape.
• You should act in the same way for the rest of the hair.

Most often, young ladies rely on this particular styling method. But there are others. Consider another method of styling curls with an iron.

• First you need to twist your hair into a kind of tourniquet. It is permissible to divide the entire shovel into several separate parts.
• Next, you need to iron it over the made tourniquet. You need to move from top to bottom. In this case, it is very important to take into account that you will need to move the device on the hair very slowly so that the entire surface can fully warm up.
• When the prepared flagellum has cooled to the end, it can be dissolved. In this case, you should disassemble the processed strands with your fingers. At the end of all the stages carried out, the installation should be fixed with varnish.

There is another simple and convenient way to form such a styling. Let's get acquainted with it.

• First, comb your hair well. Don't leave any knots or tangled strands for good results. Next, select one strand from the mop.
• Twist the selected strand into a ring by hand. Place it between the forceps. Heat the selected and twisted strand (along the entire length) well with an iron.
• The same way should be done with the rest of the heap.
• As in other cases, it is advisable to fix the result obtained with a high fixation varnish.

It should be borne in mind that when working with a curling iron or iron in the first stages, it is imperative to prepare the hair - apply a protective agent on it... Thanks to him, the strands will not suffer from exposure to high temperatures. However, this does not mean that the curling iron or straightening tongs can then be kept on the hair for a long time. Even on protected locks, "hot" tools need to be held for only a few seconds. Thus, you will be able to achieve the desired effect, and you will not harm your hair.

Often, ladies do not use a curling iron or a straightening iron to create light curls, but good old curlers. With such devices, you can also achieve excellent results, making your hair spectacular.

To make beautiful light curls, it is advisable to use larger curlers. Small options will allow you to form the same small curls. Having prepared the parts of the required dimensions, you can proceed directly to laying the heap. Here you need to act according to a certain scheme.
