Impressive voluminous curls become the basis for a spectacular hairstyle for any girl whose hair is long enough for curling. You can get beautiful curls in a variety of ways. For this, both special hairdressing tools and improvised means are suitable.
Peculiarities
Curls add femininity to the image and create volume even on thin and not too thick hair. If the owner of natural curls seeks to straighten her hair, then for straight-haired girls, beautiful voluminous curls allow from time to time to diversify their appearance, bringing in it a share of romance and audacity.

The effect obtained depends on how large or small curls frame the face, spring or fall in soft waves.
Who are they going to?
The ideal face shape for voluminous curls is a triangle. With this shape, the curls balance the difference between the size of a narrow chin and a wide forehead, emphasizing all the advantages of appearance. The same applies to a slightly elongated and thin face. For this type, curls of any shape are suitable.

But if the face is wide, curly hair will make it even wider, so in order not to deprive yourself of the opportunity to create feminine styling based on voluminous curls, you can, for example, pick up side strands in a ponytail or just pin up on the back of your head.
And also when creating curls, you need to take into account the height of the girl. If she is short, then her face will have curls up to her shoulders, and if her hair is long, then with curls up to the waist she will seem awkward.

There is no such thing as a complete ban on the use of curls for girls whose hair is long enough for curling. The most beneficial styling for each lady is selected through experimentation.

Fixing styling
The stability of the curl depends on the characteristics of the hair itself, and on the method of curling. But without fixation, any curl stretches - you can't get away from the effects of gravity. To make the hairstyle last long strands need to be treated with a bonding compound even at the stage of creating curls.
For fixing, special means are used - mousses or foam. They are applied to damp hair and spread over the entire length with a comb. Then you can start creating curls.

At the end, the styling is sprayed with varnish. If this is not done, after a couple of hours, the curls will begin to straighten. Medium hold varnish is usually used. At the same time, when spraying it on your hair, it is important not to overdo it. An excess of styling product will lead to the fact that the strands stick together - they will no longer be lush.
The ways
There are several convenient ways to make curls for short hair with your own hands. The simplest thing is to use invisibility:
- wash the hair and pat it dry with a towel to remove excess water;
- apply a suitable fixative;
- disassemble the mane into several sectors for ease of use and pin hair that will not curl immediately;
- on the area allocated for work, choose a strand of a suitable size (depending on the desired type of curls);
- gently wind it around the finger to the roots, making at least 2-3 turns;
- remove from the finger and secure with invisible on both sides, placing the latches crosswise;
- do this with all hair;
- let the hair dry;
- you can make a perm at night, covering your head with a scarf;
- after completing the process, carefully remove the invisible ones;
- give the hairstyle the desired shape without resorting to the use of a comb.

If the length permits, you can take a donut for curling:
- strands are collected in a tail and moistened;
- make a bunch around the donut, directing the ends to the roots;
- they wear hair during the day, and in the evening they dissolve, getting large curls.

Instead of a donut, you can use a rim:
- it is put on the head;
- tuck wet strands under it;
- wait a while.

It should be borne in mind that with this approach, very lush curls cannot be made on short hair, but beautiful body waves will certainly turn out.
Lush curls in an African style for short and medium hair are done with hairpins. It's simple:
- push the ends of the studs apart;
- bring the fixative to the root of the moistened strand;
- wind hair around it like a figure of eight;
- fasten the end of the hairpin with the hair wound around it with an invisible one;
- do this with all the hair;
- if after a few hours the hair turns out to be too lush, you can comb it with a massage, if not, spread it with your hands.

Medium length hair allows you to use an even wider variety of tools for beautiful curls. Unlike heating devices such as a curling iron or an iron, paper papillots are safe for the hair shaft. Plus, you don't have to spend money to buy it. Curls can be done at night, getting great curls in the morning.

To create papillotes it is enough to take unnecessary cotton fabric and paper (you can use newspaper). Cut the material into narrow strips. Wrap pieces of paper around each - and you're done. The number of homemade curlers depends on the thickness of the hair and the desired size of curls.
The more papillotes on the head, the smaller and more magnificent the curls will be.

To make chic curls with the help of papillotes at home for yourself, you need to proceed as follows:
- wash your hair, let your hair dry with a towel - they should not be wet;
- divide the entire mass of hair into sectors;
- wind it on the papillotes in a row starting from the back of the head (place the curled hair horizontally);

- when creating curls at night, put a scarf on your head so that the curls do not unwind;
- in the end, remove all rags, and dissolve the curls with your hands.

If you have free time for several hours, you can do curls with hair bundles. This method of curling is perfect for home conditions, except that you will not be able to sleep while waiting for curls - this is inconvenient. The step-by-step procedure looks like this:

- divide the hair into strands of the same volume;
- twist a tight tourniquet from each;
- roll up into a small tight bundle;
- secure with hairpins or hair ties;

For curling medium to long hair, use thick, soft elastic bands. So that, after using such clips, the strands hold out for a long time in graceful curls, it is advisable to treat them with a styling agent while they are wet. After that, it remains to thread each selected part through the elastic band several times to form loops. Using multiple elastic bands will create beautiful, light curls.
If you need to speed up their formation, you can blow the curled strands with a hairdryer.

For long and medium hair, curls are made without unnecessary problems using a round comb with a clip and a handle pointed at the end (for the convenience of separating the strands). The longer the hair is, the larger the diameter of the comb should be.
If you need to create fine curls, it is better to use a smaller brush. The comb is preferably ceramic coated. Then the air from the hair dryer will be able to evenly warm the strands.

For hair that naturally curls, when creating a lush styling, it is advisable to choose a comb made of wood with natural bristles. "Needles" should not "grow" thickly, if you want the volume after styling to be noticeable.

When using a clip brush, proceed as follows:

- first select a strand on the back of the head;
- dry it along its entire length;
- twist the end with brushing, and then heat up the entire length;
- do this with each strand, giving the styling the desired look.

You should get large strands. They need to be laid with your hands, giving the hair the desired shape, and fixed with varnish.
Curls are made in a similar way with a curling iron. In this case, the classic spirals are obtained.
