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.

The following professional advice will help to avoid the harmful effects of using the iron:

• before using the iron, it is better to dry your hair without using a hair dryer;
• do not apply an iron to damp and sprayed hair;
• do not heat the device to the maximum, otherwise hair can be seriously damaged;
• do not run the iron through your hair several times, 1-2 times is enough.

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.

Natural disheveledness is still in vogue.

Large volumetric rings that can be gathered in a tail or dissolved.
