Messy curls are a very popular hairstyle, but they may not work for everyone.

• It looks best on women under the age of 30. In the images of older women, the negligence of such styling may look inappropriate.
• The texture of this hairstyle is most noticeable on the hair, the color of which is not very dark. You can successfully view the texture on light brown or chestnut strands. Therefore, the maximum that black hair will get in such a hairstyle is volume.

There are many ways to create sloppy waves at home. All these methods can be divided into two types: thermal and non-thermal. The first type involves exposing the hair to high temperatures using various devices to create curls. The advantage of this method is that the curling process takes less time, and its minus is the negative effect of temperature on the strands. If you often resort to this method of creating careless curls, then over time the hair structure becomes thinner, the strands become brittle and split.

The second method is good in that it is more gentle on the hair and can be used more often than the first. It is presented not only in the form of using curlers, but also many more life hacks that allow you to achieve curls of various shapes. The downside of this styling option is its time-consuming nature, especially when it comes to long hair.

To make curls using curlers, you must first wash your hair, and also dry it slightly so that it remains slightly damp. If you want to make large curls, the diameter of the papillote should be at least 3 centimeters.

Then you should separate the strands that do not exceed the width of the curlers, apply a styling agent to them, for example, foam or mousse, and wrap each strand around the papillote in the direction from the tips to the roots. When the strands taken into curls are completely dry, you can remove the papillotes, lightly beat the hair with your hands and fix the result.

Please note that the length of the hair styled in this way will decrease, especially if you fix the curlers at the very root. Based on the desired result as well as the original length of the hair, place the curlers at a suitable distance from the roots. Often, the root zone or hair in the crown area is simply lifted with a hairdryer, and the curls start lower so as not to sacrifice too much hair length.

A very simple option for creating casual curls without compromising the length of the strands is to use a hair dryer with a diffuser. - a special attachment with which you can influence the volume and structure of the hair during the drying process. Before carrying out this procedure, the hair should be slightly dried naturally. Then they should be treated with a fixing agent, starting from the roots and along the entire length, and combed out using a comb with rare teeth.

Then tilt your head down a little and start blow-drying your hair with a diffuser. Particular attention should be paid to the root areas at the crown, as well as the facial area. Further, passing the diffuser along the entire length, you create a slight sloppiness. This method is most convenient for not very thick shoulder-length hair or short strands.

Watch out for non-thermal ways to create light, careless waves, long-haired young ladies should try a beam. When clean hair is dry, you need to comb it thoroughly, and then collect it in one or more bunches at the back of your head. The strands near the neck and those that frame the face must be released and, twisted separately, fixed with hairpins. After a few hours, loosening the bun, you will see waves that look quite natural, and you can give them casualness by slightly fluffing your hair with your fingers.

If your hair is not very long and light, then you can collect it overnight or for several hours under a bandage. Pass your head through the headband, then spread the ends of your hair over it and fold the headband evenly until it locks onto your head. Before doing this, hair can be lightly sprayed with water. After a while, you will get chic waves with a slight negligence.

Another way to heat-treat messy curls at home is to use an iron or curling iron.

• Wash your hair and then apply a moisturizing and nourishing mask. This will prepare the hair for direct heat exposure.
• Wait for your hair to dry naturally. Apply a special heat protection spray to it.
• Select a suitable heating temperature for the rectifier if it has such a function. If the hair is thin, then it should be between 100 and 120 degrees; for normal temperatures, a temperature of 150 -160 degrees is suitable. For those girls whose hair has a dense and tough texture, you can heat the iron to 180 or even 200 degrees.
• Separate a small strand and place it between the curling iron plates, then twist them.

In order for the effect of careless waves to stay on the hair as long as possible, you need to take care in advance of what means you can use to fix the hairstyle. The most popular strand fixing products include the following.

• Hair fixation spray, with the help of which the strands are less deformed. The product can be of varying degrees of fixation, making the hair resistant to the effects of weather. Having chosen the right product, you need to lightly spray it on the curls. If there is too much varnish, then sloppy waves will not look so natural.

• Before starting to create a hairstyle, you can use foam... It is usually applied before blow-drying. This product helps the hair to take the necessary shape and maintain it for some time. It is important not to overload the curls with foam, its amount should be taken in accordance with the thickness and length of the hair.

• An alternative means of fixation is mousse. It, unlike foam, can be presented in the form of a spray, cream or foam with a light texture. It should be applied to the root zone in order to create a voluminous effect, as well as to the ends before starting to create a hairstyle.

It is important to remember that the use of any tool, device or accessory to create curls requires proper use. This is the only way to get an excellent result. In order not to be mistaken in the process of creating curls on your head, listen to the following recommendations.

• If you use a thermal curler, then the hair should not be damp, as is the case with conventional curlers, but completely dry.
• Do not overload the strands with foam before styling. Otherwise, you will learn the opposite effect: the curls will get heavier and quickly lose their appearance.
• Do not dry the strands collected in curlers with a hair dryer, otherwise the result will be shorter.
• If you want to create root volume, then you need to lift and wind the curls in a horizontal direction.
• Pay attention to the proportion of hair density and strand thickness when curling. The longer and thicker your hairstyle, the thinner you need to take the strands when creating a careless styling with waves.
• You should not sleep in curlers all night, as this can cause severe discomfort. In most cases, a couple of hours is enough for the hair to become curly.
• When drying with a diffuser, it is best to use styling mousse applied to wet strands. You need to lay them with your head down.

So that ladies, before creating such a styling on their own, have a better idea of ​​exactly how it will look on different hairs, you should familiarize yourself with ready-made examples.

In combination with an asymmetrical parting, casual waves look even more impressive on hair that is above the shoulders.

In a thick hairstyle, it is possible to style the curls in one direction, combining a slight carelessness with a holistic hairstyle concept.

Some girls prefer to create waves only on the middle part of their hair, leaving the ends straight.
