There are many devices for the formation of curls.
Generally speaking, they can be divided into three types:
- Round brushes of various diameters with various pin lengths.
- Tools with a hollow body in which warm air circulates - skeletal combs. They are designed for continuous operation with hot air flow. Thanks to the hollow body, the hairs do not overheat and are not injured.
- Styling accessories with synthetic or natural bristles.
Brashing
A professional tool for shaping curls is brushing. These are brushes in the form of a cylinder of various diameters. With their help, hair gains volume, flirty curls or elegant waves are created.
In creating hairstyles from thin curls, this type of combs of medium diameter will help. The largest cylinder dimensions are intended for alignment. A narrow comb will perfectly help to straighten and style the bangs. For haircuts with different hair lengths, a double-sided oval comb with different length of teeth is suitable.
Which brush is right for short hair? You can get the answer to this question right now.
Comb-brush
A flat comb with a soft pad and holes from which pins or piles come out, is used both for untangling and combing strands, and for thermal styling.
Such a brush should be lightweight and fit well in the hand so that it is convenient to change the direction of laying.
The shape and material of the working part predetermine the positive properties of the tool. The natural bristle brush does not spoil the hair and gives it a healthy shine. The pins with balls at the ends act as a massager. If, in addition, they are covered with a tourmaline coating, then the hair does not electrify.
The brush, in which plastic pins and natural bristles are combined, straightens well even without the use of additional means. With its help, experienced masters create retro hairstyles.
Semicircular brush
It has the same characteristics as the previous type of hairdressing device, only it has a semicircular shape of the working part. Suitable for styling bangs and lightly curling the ends.
Crest
Depending on the shape, height and density of the teeth, it has a different purpose.
A narrow comb with a pointed handle is designed to separate the hairstyle into separate strands, as well as to form a beautiful and even parting.
A comb with long, stiff teeth will help to comb through thick, curly strands. The teeth of this instrument should widen slightly towards the base so that the instrument does not deform. You should also choose a comb for long curly hair with a comfortable handle, because the procedure for detangling the strands can be quite lengthy.
A close-toothed comb can help create a short hairstyle or perfect long curls. When choosing such a hairdressing device, you should check the strength of the teeth. You just need to press on them with your fingers. The teeth should instantly return to their previous position.
For untangling
Hairdressing attachment with a concave synthetic base with short, flexible prongs, perfect for detangling strands. Such a comb can be used even with wet hair - it does not tear or electrify them.
Hair dryer
To create styling at home, it is convenient to use an electric device that combines a hairdryer and brushing, which acts as a nozzle. Air is supplied through the holes in the brushing, which allows drying and styling to be combined. The process is greatly simplified, since one hand is free.
There are hair dryers equipped with a rotating nozzle. Such a device helps to straighten the strands in one step without using an iron. Undoubtedly, this has a beneficial effect on the hair structure. If the rotating nozzle has natural bristles, then the hair becomes soft and silky after styling.
Size and shape
Styling combs are subdivided not only by type, but also by size. The diameter of the brush should be selected based on the length, structure, and also on how the curls should look. The longer the hair, the larger the diameter of the brush. Small diameter brushes are also suitable for long curls. With their help, you can achieve root volume and straighten the bangs.
Wide combs are selected based on the characteristics of the hairstyle. Sometimes it is necessary that the surface of the tool is absolutely flat, and in other cases - with curves.
The length of the teeth on the combs should depend on the type of hair. There are ridges at the same time with different lengths of teeth.
Material
Hairdressing tool manufacturers use a variety of materials, both natural and artificial.
Plastic
The cheapest kind of tool. Moreover, they are convenient to use and serve for many years, do not need additional care. The disadvantage of these combs is that the hair is highly electrified.
Metal
Unlike plastic, it does not electrify the hair, but it does even more damage.It is not recommended to use metal instruments as they injure the scalp and disrupt the hair structure. Especially metal tools should be excluded for girls with stained, damaged, thin curls.
Wood
One of the safest materials - it gently combs the strands, does not damage the scalp. Its main disadvantage is fragility. When cracks appear on the tree, the tool can no longer be used, otherwise the most useful comb turns into the worst enemy.
Natural bristles
Most often, boar or horse hair is used. Such a hairdressing device is considered the most useful. It not only gently combs the strands, but also cares for them. Perfect for weak, damaged hair.
Silicone
Possesses all the positive properties of plastic products, but in addition removes static electricity.
Combs are also made from other materials: ceramics, ebonite, bone, and various synthetic materials. Each product has its own characteristics and is suitable for different hair types.
How to choose?
When choosing a brush for styling curls, you should adhere to some rules:
- For thick hair, the tool must have hard teeth. The weaker the hair, the softer the teeth should be.
- Thick hair will be much easier to style if the spacing between the prongs is wider.
- The area of the working surface of the massage brush depends on the length of the strands. Long hairstyles should avoid small, narrow tools.
Girls with short hair should have narrow diameter brushing in their arsenal. The same tool comes in handy for straightening the bangs. For styling the square, brushing of any diameter is suitable. Its size will depend on how voluminous the hairstyle should be.
When buying a hairdressing device, you need to pay attention to the weight of the tool, because they will have to work together with a hairdryer. The bamboo body is the lightest. In addition, it is an environmentally friendly material that is safe when working with high temperatures.
How to style your hair?
Before proceeding to the styling process, you need to blow-dry your hair, but leave it a little damp, otherwise it will dry for a long time or get tangled.
The hair is pinned up, leaving strands at the back of the head. Alternately, small curls are dried with a hairdryer, while the nose of the nozzle is directed downward. The hair is supported by a comb. The hair dryer and the brush move at the same time. The ends can be kept straight or twisted. The actions are repeated until the strand is dry and takes on the required shape.
Volumetric styling will turn out if you tilt your head forward and dry your hair with a hairdryer, combing it with your favorite brush.
