Curlers for short hair
A beautiful and lush hairstyle with curls is the dream of every girl and woman.

This problem is especially acute for owners of short haircuts, which, it would seem, do not give any space for a variety of hairstyles.
Nevertheless, the creation of a beautiful image at home is also available to the fair sex with short curls. It is enough just to purchase suitable curlers, stock up on desire and patience!
Features: which is better for short hair?
Curlers are a special element of women's "devices" that allow you to twist curls in a certain order and achieve the creation of certain types of hairstyles. Volume and shape are achieved by long-term fixation of the hair wound around the curler in a certain position. Thus, in order to create this or that image, it is necessary not only to have the curlers themselves, but also to stock up on knowledge about exactly how and in what order they need to be wound.
Such devices have been known for a long time, so it is not surprising that at present the variety of curlers has become even greater. This allows you to experiment and create more and more different hairstyles. It is especially important that the use of this tool has become possible for owners of short haircuts.
The most famous curler options today:
- Thermo curlers - This is the look that is best suited for short curls. The fact is that the “tubes” must be warm enough to achieve the effect, so they need to be wound as quickly as possible, and with long hair you are unlikely to succeed.
- Velcro curlers. Their effect is achieved thanks to a special brush at the base, which is tightly fixed on the hair. The device is well suited for short curls, however, it is not recommended to use it if your hair is too weak and brittle.
- Foam rollers - This is the most simple and gentle option. The downside is that to achieve the result, fixation is necessary for a long time. Usually with their help it is better to curl your hair at night and straighten it only in the morning.
- The so-called boomerangs allow you to lay the strands more accurately and reliably. Such curlers are in many ways similar to foam rubber, thanks to the soft and light surface. However, they have a metal rod inside, and the hair is fixed by bending the edges.
- For short hair are also ideal velvet curlers. These velor-based tubes are often used by professional hairdressers, as they allow you to achieve a quick and impressive curling effect.
- The so-called bobbins - This is another classic option.They are small cylindrical bases that can be made of plastic, wood, ivory and fixed with special clips or rubber bands.

Choosing the right curlers for your hair type is not so difficult. But the choice of a particular brand is a completely different matter, because in this case, we are talking about the quality of the device, which plays an important role for your hair.
How to choose?
Curlers should be chosen based on the width and density of their curls. For example, for thicker and lush strands, it is best to choose Velcro with a large diameter, however, they are far from always suitable in the case of a short haircut.
Bobbins are still a very popular option. Due to their small size, they are ideal for short hair and can provide the effect of a perm if they are lightly gelled before curling the hair. Also immediately determine the period of the day in which you will use curlers. If you have to create a hairstyle in the morning, when there is a catastrophic lack of time, then it is best to choose small thermal curlers. They will allow you to achieve voluminous curls in just 20 minutes in the case of short hair.
If it’s easier for you to curl your hair in the evening or even sleep with curlers on your head, then you should give preference to “soft” options. It can be foam curlers or high-quality boomerangs. Avoid those types that have fragile plastic parts.
