How to make vertical curls of hair at home?

A hairstyle based on vertical curls is a great solution for weekdays and holidays. To transform with their help, you do not need to go to the hairdresser. You can also do this at home.

Vertical curls are curling strands in the shape of a spiral. Such curls look great and spring beautifully during movement, drawing attention to the one whose head is being adorned.

They can be made on hair that curls from nature, and on straight curls. The diameter of the curls can also vary.

For owners of a narrow face, it is advisable to perform small spirals. In this case, the curls should not be too elastic. If you choose large curls with such features, the face will seem even smaller and narrower than it is.

If the girl has a wide face and large features, it is better to choose medium or large soft spirals. When the curls are curled too luxuriantly, it will not be a plus with such an appearance. For those with an oval or round face, elastic curls are suitable.

You can wind up vertical curls in different ways - from using ordinary flagella to using a perm.

You can cope with it without having practically any experience in handling hair:

• curls need to be washed;
• lightly blot with a towel;
• comb;
• separating strands of equal volume, twist into bundles and secure with elastic bands;
• when all your hair is twisted, tie your head with a scarf and go to bed;
• in the morning, dissolve the curls, disassemble with your hands.

If you need a quick effect, you can use forceps at home. They represent a special curling iron with a spiral "cutting", which makes it possible to create curls that are perfectly similar to each other. The curling iron heats the hair that has been rolled along the beaten path and creates curls of the desired shape. Unlike a conventional curling iron, the spiral does not have a clamp. You will have to hold the end of the strand with your fingers.

In order not to damage the hair during the spiral curling process, you need to use a heating device with a ceramic rod, coated with titanium or tourmaline.

With thin, soft strands, the device is heated up to 100 degrees, If the hair is tough, poorly curled, warming up to 180 is not terrible.

The strand width is about 3 cm. It is combed and placed in a depression, heated, and then released. The curled curl is fixed with a clip. So they go all over the head.

For a change, you can use a curling iron in which the rod is shaped like a cone. Then the curl will be wide at the base and narrower at the end. If you only have a regular curling iron at hand, you can make curls so that each next strand slightly overlaps the previous one. With this method of styling, the curls are less elastic. You also need to approach the creation of curls with special care, so as not to create creases from the clip.

You can make spiral curls using curlers that have the appropriate cylinder, cone or uneven shape - thinner in the middle and wider at the edges. All these varieties are otherwise called bobbins. They are made from wood or special types of plastic. The diameter of such devices is different. For coarse hair, you need to use bobbins of a large diameter, and for soft and thin ones - vice versa. Medium diameter curlers are suitable for not too coarse and at the same time thick hair.

Sleeping on such bobbins is impossible, or at least very difficult. They are too hard. In addition, they should not be applied daily to avoid ruining the hair. If the occasion is solemn, it is another matter.

It is convenient to curl slightly damp strands on these devices. They are separated in equal parts, covered with a styling compound, a strand is inserted into the hole on the curlers and curled from the root, winding along a pre-provided recess. At the end, it remains to fix all this with an elastic band.

The curling starts from the top of the head. At the back of the head, twisting the strands is most difficult. It is advisable that someone else help to do this. Bthe igudi are left on the hair for several hours. You can speed up the process with a hair dryer.

If you have time to create styling from vertical curls, you can use soft curlers that are more comfortable for the head, in the form of springs-covers. They are very easy to use. Comes with a special plastic hook. It is inserted into a fabric cover, which immediately straightens. The moistened strand is crocheted through the cover. Thanks to this, the hair is inside and takes on a spiral shape.

In this manner, all strands are wound. After a few hours, beautiful elastic curls are obtained. Although you can spur this process with a hair dryer, as the curlers let air through.

A guaranteed long-lasting result for obtaining spiral curls is given by the so-called vertical chemistry. With her, the curls will last up to six months. It will be much easier to style your hair every day than when there is no chemistry on it. You can also make such a perm at home. But for this you will have to use the help of another person. It is advisable that it was someone who knows how to deftly handle bobbins and can wind each strand evenly.

For the procedure, you need to choose the right day. Chemistry should not be done:

• during menstruation;
• if a woman is taking drugs with hormones;
• during pregnancy and lactation.

Before curling, be sure to eat a good meal. - if there is not enough heat in the body, the chemical reactions on the hair are too slow. Also, according to long-term observations of hairdressers, a bad mood leads to the fact that the perm does not work.

To make chemistry, you will have to attend to the purchase of several sets of bobbins, a special set for a perm. You will also need a plastic cap and rubber gloves.

Before getting down to business, an allergic reaction test is performed. A drop of perm is applied to the bend of the elbow and wait 15 minutes. If the skin turns red and itches, you cannot use the drug. If everything is in order, you can start creating "long-lasting beauty":

• you need to do chemistry on clean hair;
• apply a greasy cream along the hairline to protect the skin from the effects of chemicals;
• treat wet strands with a special lotion;
• divide hair into sectors;
• work starting from the back of the head;
• wind bobbins from the roots;
• after the completion of the "wrapping", treat the strands with a chemical composition;
• cover your head with a cap and stand for as long as indicated in the instructions;
• wash off;
• treat the head with a compound that stops the previous chemical reaction;
• after 5 minutes, rinse with plain water;
• remove the curlers;
• dry curls without combing.

Do not wring them out after each wash. It is enough to squeeze wet strands with a towel. Also, hair needs to be treated from time to time with special serums and oil formulations. These measures will allow you to keep your hair beautiful, and the curls will last longer. To emphasize their beauty, you can wind the strands on hot rollers.

In this case, it is impossible:

• go to bed with wet hair;
• dry them with hot air from a hair dryer;
• use a brush instead of a comb;
• create bouffants;
• carry out staining before 3 weeks have passed from the date of chemistry.

No matter how vertical curls are created, they achieve a completely different external effect depending on the length of the hair. Such curls can be done on short strands, for example, when cutting a bob. But it must be borne in mind that after that the hair will seem even shorter, since it will take the shape of a spiral. In addition, the curls will be directed to the sides and up. In order not to create the impression of excessive splendor of such styling, as if the owner of short curls was "electrocuted", it is recommended to curl the strands not too shallow. It is also advisable to use curlers, not a curling iron.

It is more convenient to curl medium-length hair. They hold their shape best, especially if they are properly secured with a fixing compound. But long ones run the risk of not curling completely, since the length of the bobbin may be insufficient. In addition, under the weight of the hair, the curls straighten faster.

So that the curls do not lose their elegant look for a long time and remain elastic, it is required to fix them with suitable styling products. In addition, the achievement of a long-term effect depends on the type of hair.

For long, thick ones, it is convenient to use foam. It is also suitable for thin ones, and if you apply it on such strands, then in the end you can do without varnish.

As for the hairspray itself, a medium hold agent is used on thin strands curling into light curls. With it, the hairstyle will last well for 4 hours. Heavy thick hair can be held in the desired position by means of strong and super-strong fixation.

When using a fixing gel, you need to take into account that it makes thin curls heavier. If you use mousse on such hair, it will look more voluminous.

When applying a fixing agent, you still need to know when to stop.

If the hairstyle is done on the basis of a perm, you can use mousse, wax and foam to fix it, but varnish cannot be used in this case.
