On every day
If a girl is in a hurry to work and she absolutely does not have enough time for a long styling, you can just go with her hair loose, fluffing it up a bit with your hands. This is especially easy for girls with curls.
It is very easy to cope with styling a haircut such as pixie... This is a very short haircut and it would seem that there is no room for curls. However, this is a misjudgment. After all, only the temples and the back of the head will be short in it, and the crown, on the contrary, will be slightly longer. Therefore, light curls on the top of the head will give the girl some charm and perfectly diversify the everyday look.

Evening
Such styling does not take women much more time than simple ones. Again, you can use loose hair, but they must be laid very carefully around the head so that with their help you can emphasize not only the beauty of the eyes, but also the facial features.
It can be both small curls and larger curls, everything will depend on the chosen hairstyle, as well as on the shape of the face.
Nowadays, a hairstyle called "beach curls" is quite popular. It is easy and simple to make it. It is enough to apply a little foam to the hair, and then wind it with an iron. Part of the hair can be pinned gently, and the rest can be loosened. It does not have to be done with an iron; you can also use a more gentle method, for example, to make flagella, before that, having treated your hair with a styling agent.

Also come back into fashion and hairstyles with fluff, which are also used as an evening style of styling. Making them is easy - just comb your hair, apply a special product, and then wind it with a curling iron with an appropriate attachment.
But we must remember that after this the hair does not need to be combed, it is enough just to sprinkle it with strong fixation varnish.

There is no need to bypass such a hairstyle as square, which with curls looks not only stylish, but also more voluminous. Since the haircut is multi-layered, this allows you to distribute the strands in the desired direction and maintain their shape. More elongated styling is more suitable for girls who have a beautiful and slender figure and tall stature.
But for girls with thin facial features, it is best to make the square as short as possible. Styling should be done in small waves, giving the haircut not only neatness, but also completeness.
In addition, you can try African curls on the square, which will look beautiful on girls with a certain type of face.

Also, evening hairstyles include bob car... Curls must necessarily look spectacular in order to emphasize the shape of the face. This will give the ladies a certain amount of flirtatiousness and give their hairstyles more volume.
Not only women, but girls can have short hair. And it will be right if for a festive event they will have a beautiful hairstyle in waves, like their mother. For example, you can give them the same retro styling. To do this, you can use different means - and a curling iron, and curlers. But it must be remembered that the latter should only be soft, so as not to injure the thin baby hair and sensitive scalp during the girl's sleep.
