Advantages and disadvantages
Multifunctionality is the undoubted advantage of ironing. One device will allow you to straighten naughty curls, curl the ends or create curls of different elasticity and configuration. A strong thermal effect is an obvious disadvantage of creating a hairstyle using such a device. With frequent use, this can lead to dryness, loss of shine and hair health. To save from the harmful effects of styling on medium hair with an iron will help thermal protective equipment and devices made of quality materials.

How to choose?
Medium hair (7-10 centimeters below the shoulders) is a universal length for which various styles are available for all hair types. Thinking over the idea of a hairstyle, you should pay attention to the following points.
- The image will turn out to be holistic if the hairstyle, clothes, accessories and makeup are harmoniously combined, complementing and supporting each other.
- The correct selection of hairstyles is able to neutralize facial imperfections and even figures.
- The appropriateness of this or that styling depends on the occasion of the event. Dating, business negotiations, public speaking have different requirements for the image. This point, of course, does not apply to those who like to shock the audience.

Knowing the features of the face shape, you can unmistakably choose the most effective and harmonious styling.
- For girls with a square face, small curls will help hide the angularity.
- For women with a triangle-like face, straight hair with oblique cuts is best.
- A round face will be adorned with a slanting device, volume and wavy strands.
- Lush styling is suitable for an elongated narrow face.

How to pack?
Making your own hair is pretty easy. The first step is to prepare the hair. Clean, freshly washed and well dried apply conditioner, foam or styling gel to hair, evenly distributing the product along the entire length of the curls. Funds must have light texture and wash off effortlessly with water. To protect the hair structure, you can apply favorite thermal protective agent.
If you want to achieve more volume, the hair can be lifted slightly at the root when drying. In this case, dry the hair by tilting the head down, twisting and lifting at the roots with a round brush.

Laying in stages looks like this.
- We divide the hair into strands of the thickness of the desired curls. We apply a styling product to each of them.
- Having stepped back a little from the roots, we clamp the lock with tongs. We wind in the direction from the face.
- We turn the device over and carry it along the entire length.
- We run our fingers through the hair, separating the curls. This will give your hair a natural look.
It happens that the hair strays into one large curl. The problem is solved if the lower row of curls is curled to the face, the upper one - from the face. Don't have time to completely curl your hair? For a luxurious volume, it is enough to wind only the upper strands.

Another quick option is to pull your hair into a ponytail at the back, crown or side, divide it into 4 strands, and curl each one. And for lovers of spiral curls, the following tips will come in handy.
- The hairstyle will turn out fashionable and stylish if you leave a few centimeters of hair straight from the root.
- The curls will look more natural if, when lowering the forceps, do not stop and turn from the face.
- After curling, the strand should be wrapped around your finger and held until the hair cools down. This is done with all the hair. This is how spirals are obtained.
- At the final stage, the hair is sprayed with varnish and fixed.

The technique for creating mischievous curls is as follows.
- We divide the hair into thin strands.
- We wrap each strand in a tourniquet, and then in a bundle and fix at the roots.

- Let the bundle cool, dissolve, fix.

The second name of the iron is a straightener. He can transform naughty curls into smooth hair, flowing like a crack. Styling is perfect for both business style and a romantic date. The process and the result will bring joy, given some secrets.
- We divide the hair into strands equal to the thickness of the iron.
- We level in layers: from the inside from the neck to the crown of the head.
- With an iron, we carry out smooth movements from roots to ends of the hair. We do not stay in one place for a long time.
- When finished, comb the hair and spray with a fixing agent.

To create beach curls, the strands must first be twisted into bundles before curling. The thicker the strand, the larger the curls will turn out.... The effect will be the most persistent if the flagella are fixed and not twisted too much. The iron will play a good service when creating festive hairstyles.
The strands collected in "malvinka", basal fleece or a braid, decorated with ornaments, braided around the head will add elegance to the curled hair. Luxurious, sexy Hollywood waves can be created in two ways.
- The first method is similar to creating classic curls. The nuance lies in the formation of a curl. It is necessary to start curling, stepping back a little from the roots. The iron should be twisted obliquely at an angle of 150 degrees.

- For the second option, you need foil. We wrap each strand in a piece of foil and fold it into an accordion. We heal with forceps, hold for 20 seconds. Let the foil cool down and only then unfold the curl.

Curls will allow the Greek hairstyle to look even more elegant and elegant. Here is one of the ideas for such a styling.
- We form classic curls with an iron in the usual way. First we twist the lower strands, then the upper ones. The bangs are rolled away from the face.
- We mentally divide the hair into 3 parts. We take a strand in the middle and weave a loose, loose pigtail. We fix the tip with an elastic band.
- We braid the braids on the right and left. For greater splendor of the strands, pull the strands out a little from the base.
- We lift all 3 pigtails and form one common bundle of them on the back of the head. We fix with pins, fix, decorate.
- An express version of the Greek styling is to curl only the front curls, and collect the rest of the hair in a bun and decorate.

For lovers of the wet effect, the following scheme will be interesting.... The hair is divided into strands and curled vertically 2 through 2 strands. In the absence of ironing, a cone curling iron will serve as an excellent tool for creating curls of various textures. Unlike an iron, it will not straighten hair, but curls, with skillful handling, can create perfect and without creases. When using the cone, you should have some skill, since the tip is not fixed, you will have to hold it with your finger. The technology is simple.
- We divide the hair into several strands of thickness, depending on the desired size of the curls.
- We warm up the strands, slowly passing the device from the roots to the ends of the hair.
- We wind the strands one by one, keeping each of them under heating for 10-15 seconds. Do not touch the curls until they cool down.
- Slightly separate the curls with your fingers, spray with a fixative.

Here are some important recommendations for choosing an iron. Give preference to a device with a ceramic coating. And if finances allow, buy an iron with ionic ceramic plates, which are used by professionals. This will ensure the least damage to the hair.
The shape of the iron is also important. A rounded device is more functional. It is suitable for straightening hair and creating curls. The rectangular shape of the iron will allow you to curl only the ends. To get full-fledged curls, this option is not suitable.
The presence of a temperature regulator will allow you to adjust the mode depending on the desired result and hair structure. For owners of thin, damaged hair or for frequent use of the iron, a temperature of 120-150 degrees is suitable. For normal or thick hair, you need 150-180 degrees. For a lasting effect and conquering tough, recalcitrant strands, you will need to warm up the device to 200 degrees.

In terms of plate size, a wide plate iron is recommended for coarse hair. For owners of thin and fragile hair, it is better to choose a device with a smaller plate surface area. However, narrow plates are more practical. They are preferred by professionals for the ability to align bangs and individual strands.
Plates can be fixed rigidly and floating. In the first option, more physical effort is needed. The latter are lighter, they are fastened with a spring or elastic band, which makes them more comfortable. The best option is when the plates fit snugly against each other, and there is no gap between them. This allows the strands to warm up and curl up evenly. This increases the styling quality.
Take care of additional attachments if you like to experiment. The set may include: a removable hairbrush, wavy "corrugation", a spiral, a brush, a curling iron.
