How to wind your hair on curlers?

Many girls have straight hair and dream of curls. To make curls on your head, use a variety of means. One way to create beautiful curls is to wind them on curlers. But not every girl knows how to do it right. Let's try to figure this out.

In order for the curls to look beautiful after styling, and the hair is not damaged, you need to follow simple rules:

• It is better to wind curlers on wet hair. So your styling will last longer. Therefore, before the curling procedure, you should sprinkle your hair with water.
• If you have fine hair, then the strands should be made as thin as possible. This way of curling will add volume to your hairstyle.
• Too heavy hair should also not be curled in large strands. They will not keep their shape and will develop quickly.
• Curls should be wound on curlers from the middle of the length. In this case, you first need to twist the lower part of the strand, and then raise the curlers themselves to the scalp.
• If you are the owner of a short haircut, then the curlers are placed near the roots of the hair and the strands are wound only from above. At the same time, if you put paper on the accessories themselves, then it will be much easier to do this. Of course, this does not apply to Velcro curlers.
• After you have wound all the curls, heat your hair with a hair dryer.
• You can unroll the curls only after the hair has completely dried and cooled. In this case, you need to very carefully disassemble the curls themselves with your fingers, so as not to spoil the shape of the strands.

• Do not go to bed with twisted curlers. This can ruin the structure of the hair and lead to further brittleness and hair loss. Do not leave wrap for more than one hour. But this does not apply to foam curlers. They can be left on all night without harm to the hair.
• For better fixation of accessories you should put a net on your head.
• It is necessary to choose the correct size of the accessory. Ideally, you need to have curlers of several diameters. This will help make styling more natural and interesting. At the same time, a smaller diameter is used near the face, the largest accessories are wound on the middle part of the head, and medium-sized curlers are wound on the back of the head.
• Curlers with an elastic band should not be twisted. They lead to ugly creases on the strands. It is better to replace them with accessories that are attached with a clip or stud.
• Don't curl your curls too tight. Such a perm can disrupt blood circulation in the scalp, thereby provoking the loss of curls.
• If your hair is already showing signs of damage, then their perm should be postponed until the structure of the strands is completely restored.

The main steps for curling strands on curlers are as follows:

• Wash your hair with shampoo and blow dry.
• Carefully comb the curls.
• We wind one small strand on the curlers, before the procedure we treat it with a styling agent, for example, foam.
• Leave on the head for a certain amount of time. For different types of curlers and hair types, the duration of the procedure is different. It varies from 20 minutes for hot rollers to all night for curlers.
• With dry hands, we free the hair from all accessories. We slightly straighten the curls with our fingers and fix the styling with varnish.

There are many varieties of these accessories and each is designed for specific purposes. Consider the main varieties:

• Thermo curlers. This type of accessory allows you to quickly get the cherished curls. At the same time, unlike flat irons or irons, it does not injure the structure of the strands in such a volume, since the hair does not have direct contact with a hot surface. Before using this type of curler, it is worth applying thermal protection to the hair in order to avoid overdrying the hair.

There are three types of thermal curlers:

1. Requiring cooking. Inside each curler there is a capsule filled with wax. When boiled in water, the wax melts and then gradually transfers heat from the accessory to the curls.
2. Electrical. Such curlers are put on a special stand, which is connected to the mains and heated. After full warming up, curls are wound on them.
3. Curlers are first twisted into curls, and then, with the help of a curling iron of a suitable diameter, they are heated directly on the hair in turn.

• Wooden curlers. They gained popularity back in Soviet times, but even today they have their fans, and this is no accident. Wood is a natural material that not only does not damage the hair structure, but also does not electrify curls.These curlers should not be wound on wet hair. Wood has the ability to absorb moisture, so drying this installation will take a long time. Although in the hairdressing industry, it is this property that makes bobbins indispensable for perm, both for creating vertical curls and horizontal curls.

• Rubber curlers were also widely used by women in the Soviet Union. They allow you to curl small and rather elastic curls. But due to the fact that this type of accessory severely injured the hair and left ugly creases from elastic bands on the strands, it is practically not used in modern times.

• Iron curlers also came to us from the last century. They negatively affected the structure of the hair, in addition, they required some skill to use. Modern technologists have improved the appearance of this accessory and natural bristle hedgehogs have been added to the iron mesh, which is used as a skeleton. This makes it easy to curl the curls and prevents the hair from touching the metal.

• Another type of curler that has replaced iron accessories is velvet. They are made of velor coated wire. Velvet accessories do not have a negative effect on the hair, while ensuring fast drying of the strands. The only disadvantage of this attribute is the difficulty of winding. But over time, having adapted, it is quite easy to cope with velvet curlers.

• Foam curlers or papillots. They are a flexible stick with a wire inside.This type allows you to apply them at night, thereby saving time in the morning for styling hair. However, their ability to bend can be harmful, since at night the curl can easily change the direction of the curl and spoil the look of the hairstyle received in the morning.

• Boomerangs. These are improved papillots. They can have both foam rubber and rubber coating. And they are able to create various types of curls. It all depends on the diameter of the curler. Thick ones will create natural curls, and thin ones will help to make fine curls.

• Plastic curlers. They are good because they can be easily washed. This is important if roll-on styling products are used. In addition, plastic curlers do not electrify strands.

• Velcro. These curlers are very popular. They are easily attached to curls, dried with a hairdryer. Velcro curlers have completely different diameters and allow you to create only natural volume or wonderful curls.

The correctness of wrapping hair on this accessory depends on what kind of curls you want to get. In total, there are three winding schemes:

• creating vertical curls;
• creating a horizontal curl;
• creating spiral curls.

To create a vertical curl curls begin to wind in the opposite direction - from the lower edge of hair growth, for which they collect hair in a ponytail, leaving a strand of hair on the back of the head, the width of which corresponds to the width of the curler. Divide it into small curls and wind it on this accessory, holding it vertically. As a result, the curlers should create several horizontal rows.

For horizontal winding, rigid curlers are required, such as those made of plastic.Initially, it is necessary to divide the hair with partings into three parts: two temporal and parietal. First, the parietal lobe is twisted. Starting from the bangs, we move towards the lower border of hair growth. Then we curl the temporal parts. For wrapping, the hair is lifted perpendicular to the hairline and wound starting from the tips.

For spiral curl curlers with special grooves or soft curlers are ideal. The head is divided into three parts parietal, occipital and temporal. The winding is done from the roots to the tips in a spiral. First on the parietal, then on the occipital zone. At the end, whiskey curls.

Each hair length has its own types of wraps and types of curlers. So, for short hair, it is better to use Velcro curlers and apply a horizontal type of styling. You can also use plastic, metal or wooden accessories of small diameter. Usually a perm on short hair is done to give volume to the hairstyle when your hair does not have sufficient density.

For medium length hair, a vertical winding scheme is usually used. In this case, you can use curlers from any material. The diameter of the accessory should be chosen medium or slightly increased. This method of curling will help create perfect curls on your head, or just give the strands a waviness. Long hair is recommended to curl in a spiral way. Papillottes would be ideal here. If you use Velcro curlers, then it will be useful to use clips, otherwise the accessories will not be able to hold the entire volume of hair on themselves and will unwind.

As we have already said, to reduce the time for morning styling, you can wind your hair at night. And in the morning, just remove the accessories and lay the curls with your hands. But sleeping on hard curlers is very uncomfortable. In addition, using such accessories for a long time can damage your hair. The use of Velcro curlers is not at all suitable for night use. They will simply collapse under the weight of the head and instead of curls, zigzags will turn out, and accessories will have to be thrown away.

In the last century, pieces of cloth with paper embedded in them were used to curl hair at night. But the threads from the raw edges crumbled, and then I had to carefully choose them from the hairstyle. In addition, such accessories had to be tightened tightly so that the hair did not slip out of them, which left creases in the morning, and the hairstyle did not look quite presentable. Modern industry has developed a special type of curler, which is ideal for winding curls at night - these are papillots.

The wrapping of such accessories has its own peculiarities. It should be borne in mind that the papillots do not have an internal hole, and the hair is wound around them quite tightly. Therefore, even overnight, your hair will not have time to dry. Therefore, only dry hair is wound on papillots. That is, after you have washed them, you need to dry them, apply a styling product and completely dry them with a hairdryer.Only when all the moisture has evaporated from the curls, they should be wound on hairpins. Curling can be done both from the middle of the strand, and from the roots. If the winding is done from the middle of the curl, you should carefully monitor the position of the tip of the strand, otherwise it can be easily twisted and perfect curls will not work.

For quick styling of curls on curlers, it is best to use thermal accessories. To do this, hot rollers with a wax base are placed in boiling water for about 10 minutes and are wound around the hair while hot. Then you should keep them on your head for 20 minutes and dissolve. Wait until your curls are completely cool and disassemble them with your fingers. As a result, you will get curls in the fastest way.

Another option is to wind your hair with Velcro curlers and heat it up with a hair dryer. In this case, the heater must be used for at least 15 minutes at maximum temperature. After that, you need to withstand the time until the hair is completely cooled and you can dissolve the curls. Remember that such hair styling methods dry out curls and should not be used often. In addition, do not forget to apply thermal protection to them.

In order for the curls obtained by curling on curlers to last for a long time, it is worth using some tips:

• Before winding curls use a special styling foam.
• After shaping the hair fix it with varnish.
• If you have heavy straight hair maximum length, you should not use conditioner or other products to soften curls. Otherwise, even the foam and varnish will not be able to keep the shape of the curls.
• Do not curl your hair with curlers in rainy weather. Even high-quality styling products can not cope with the influence of natural precipitation on your styling.
• Wash your hair before going to bed freeing them from the applied styling products and opening them to oxygen. This will help to minimize the effect of chemistry on the structure of curls.

Beautiful waves or perfect curls are in trend at all times.

Here are some examples of curly hair styles and how to create them:

• Curls on an elongated bob is one way to decorate this hairstyle. To do this, you will need: curlers, comb, foam and styling varnish. Ideal for such styling will be papilots. They will help you save time on your hair in the morning and create a romantic look. To reproduce this type of styling, you should carefully wind the curls onto the curlers from the tips of the strands to the back of the head. At the same time, leave 1 cm from the roots not curled. Place the entire styling under the mesh and go to bed. In the morning, gently unroll the curlers and straighten the curls with your fingers. Fix the styling with varnish. You can also decorate this hairstyle with a hairpin with a flower. This will add even more romance to the image and will allow you to remove strands from your face.

• If you have thin, thin, waist-length hair, vertical chemistry is the perfect hairstyle for you. But if you do not want to spoil your hair with this procedure, you can do the usual styling in the same way without the use of chemicals. For this you will need wooden bobbins with spiral groove, styling products, comb. Apply foam to washed and dried hair. We twist the hair in a spiral way. We make sure that the ends do not break when wrapping. Dry with a hair dryer until the curls are completely dry. We are waiting for the strands to cool, unfold.

• With the help of large curlers, you can create magnificent waves on long hair and add volume to your hairstyle. For this, it is best to use Velcro curlers maximum size. We wind wet curls on them, covered with styling foam. Blow dry or leave for a couple of hours. We remove the curlers and comb the hair with a comb with large teeth.

• On a short hairstyle, styling made with curlers also looks very good. To do this, use a medium-diameter Velcro curler. We wind them on curls according to the horizontal curling method as well as in the previous case. After removing, we lay the strands with our fingers in a chaotic direction. Fix with hairspray.
