Spiral curlers

Spiral beautiful curls can give any girl a romantic and mysterious look. Unfortunately, many simply do not know how to make such curls on their own. However, for starters, it’s enough just to buy spiral curlers.

Spiral curlers are significantly different from classic hair curlers, but this does not mean at all that they are worse. On the contrary, it is worth giving preference to the "spirals". However, they have a number of features and are not suitable for everyone:

• To begin with, it should be noted that spiral papillots come in two varieties. Firm ones are suitable for everyone, while soft ones are suitable only for certain types of hair.

Speaking about the features of spiral curlers, it is worth noting the common features of hard and soft models. With these features, styling on such curlers differs from traditional curling methods:

• Curling on spiral curlers is done using a different method. If ordinary papilots require the strand to be wound horizontally, then spiral ones - vertically.
• In the case of using "spirals", the result is elastic curls-curls. When styling with traditional models, a hairstyle with soft romantic curls or waves is obtained.
• As everyone knows, a curl on classic curlers lasts quite a long time. Spiral papillots are able to compete with their "sisters" in this matter. Girls write that the effect of using "spirals" lasts much longer.
• From the name it is clear that spiral curlers are used to obtain spring curls. Curls are smaller and more even when comparing the result after applying conventional and spiral models.
• Another important difference is the size.. If we talk about hard spiral curlers, they are mostly made quite thin, while soft curlers open up complete freedom of choice regarding the diameter of the future curl. Ordinary traditional curlers are made in different thicknesses, but it is rare that the length of these gizmos varies. With "spirals" this problem will not arise.

As you can see, curling with spiral curls has a number of advantages, and curling with “soft” curls is more preferable. In addition to the above characteristics, their advantages also include the following:

• Safety for hair health. Due to the fact that the hair is not subjected to additional heat treatment, the use of such curlers is currently the most gentle form of curling. A gentle effect on the shape of the curl allows you to give the hair the necessary bend, while at the same time not affecting its structure. With "spirals" you can even sleep, while they do not interfere.
• Spring curlers can be selected for both short and long hair (models up to 75 cm in length are available).
• Due to the uniform impact on the curl, it will spin without creases.
• The use of high-tech polymer fiber in the production of such curlers allows them to be used for a long time.

As mentioned above, spiral curlers are divided into hard and soft. Solid curlers look like thin tubes with a spiral cut in the center. They are supplemented with a special rubber or iron hair retainer. The use of solid curlers allows you to get an elastic curl-spring, and all curls in this case will be absolutely identical. However, often the tree is not processed well enough, as a result of which it is difficult to remove the papillots. Damaged and broken hair is very difficult to restore in the future. Solid papillots are wooden, metal and plastic:

• Wooden curlers are more common and are often the legacy of our mothers and grandmothers. Spiral papilots are rarely used. Their plastic counterpart causes less confidence on the part of the fair sex, since, as a rule, the high quality of plastic curlers is by no means guaranteed.
• plastic curlers less traumatic, but if they are of insufficient quality, it is impossible in principle to perform at least some kind of perm with their help.

• Soft curlers are made of a material similar to fabric, which is twisted in the form of a spiral. When buying such a set, a plastic hook is additionally attached, which is assembled from two or three parts, depending on the length of the “spiral”. Although soft curlers are usually made from high quality polymer, the same cannot be said for the hook.Girls note that it breaks first of all, so be sure to pay attention to its quality when buying.

Due to the special properties of the material from which soft hairpins are made, they can be firmly fixed on the hair without the help of special clips or hairpins. At the same time, removing them is quite simple, just pull the end of the spiral. The polymer is absolutely harmless to hair. It is a soft cloth, due to which such a papillot will not get tangled in the hair, will not break it, and the hair will not be able to catch on bumps and be subjected to traumatic effects.

Hard, as well as soft curlers are distinguished by two criteria: by length and by size. Long curlers are designed for long hair. Models are shorter, respectively, for short ones.

The length of soft curlers varies from 15 to 75 cm, allowing you to choose them for any hair length. In order to make it easier for the buyer to decide on the choice of the required length of the papillot, you can create a list of the following recommendations:

• For hair up to the chin, curlers from 15 cm are suitable.
• If the hair length is up to the shoulders, you should stop at models 15-25 cm.
• With a length slightly below shoulder level, curlers 25-35 cm are suitable.
• If the hair reaches the shoulder blades, choose curlers 35-45 cm long.
• For hair below the shoulder blades, focus on curlers 45-55 cm long.
• If the length of your hair reaches the waist, then 55-65 cm options will suit you.
• Finally, if your hair is below waist level, choose curlers with a maximum length of 75 cm.

The length of solid curlers also varies, but in the case of them, this will only affect how “springy” the curl will turn out in the end.

The diameter of the curler directly affects the final result, since it determines how the curl will turn out in the end. Spiral curlers allow you to create both small mischievous curls and glamorous large curls.

Spirals with a diameter of 1-3 cm are great for styling small curls. They will look like you've had a perm. When choosing "spirals" of this diameter, be careful: small "springs" are not for everyone. In addition, the perm in this case should start from the very roots, so for such styling it is better to choose solid curlers.

The effect of natural curls can be obtained by using spiral curlers with a diameter of 2.5 to 4 cm. Soft curlers will give a more natural effect in the end, while hard curlers will create a semblance of doll styling.

"Spirals" of the largest diameter - 5 cm - will serve as an excellent alternative to curling and ironing when creating Hollywood curls. Hard curlers of this diameter are not produced, but soft ones can be easily found. Before using soft spirals, it is imperative to apply a smoothing agent to the hair so that the resulting waves look more bohemian.

In order to make beautiful styling, you need to be able to use spiral curlers properly. This will also save you from unpleasant consequences, for example, that the curls will start at different heights.

First of all, decide what hairstyle you want to end up with. Whether it will be small curls, natural waves or Hollywood curls, it's up to you. The preparation of hair for subsequent styling depends on what result you want to see.

To create this hairstyle, it is better to choose solid spiral curlers of small diameter. You won’t be able to make this hairstyle on your own, so we advise you to arm yourself with the help of a patient friend:

• First, wash your hair and dry your hair with a towel. It is best to leave it for 10-20 minutes so that the water is well absorbed. Next, treat your hair with a heat protectant and a strong hold styling product. Hairdressers advise choosing products with a smoothing effect for creating fine curls, as it will eventually give a neater look to your curls.
• Comb your hair thoroughly. A soft-toothed brush is ideal for combing wet hair. Before twisting them, divide the entire head into zones (temporal, parietal, occipital and bangs).
• It is best to start curling from the back of the head. Separate a strand of hair about 2 cm wide and twist it into a light bundle so that the hairs do not break out. Bring the spiral curler to the base of the curl and start winding the strand around the curler so that the curl is exactly in the grooves of the spiral cut. Secure with a special fastener.
• Do the same with the rest of the hair. Please note that the winding should not be too tight, otherwise your hair will not dry out and you will not achieve the desired effect.
• Dry your hair thoroughly with a hair dryer or naturally if time permits. Please note that it is better not to leave spiral curlers at night, since it is impossible to sleep in them.
• Carefully free your hair from the curlers. You should not comb your hair, it is better to rub a couple of drops of texturizing hair product in your hands and “walk” a little through individual strands. This styling will delight you until the next wash.

If you chose soft curls for styling, repeat steps 1 and 2 from the previous paragraph, then do the following:

• You can start curling from any zone, but it is best to wind the back of your head first. Separate a small strand and twist it into a light bundle to make it easier to thread through curlers. Now create a small loop at the base by twisting the curl.
• Pass the hook through the curlers, pick up the loop at the base and pull it through the hole. The "spiral" will twist back as soon as you pull out the hook, and securely fix the curl.
• To create the effect of naturalness, it is recommended to mix curlers of different sizes..
• If you want to make Hollywood curls, you need to grab the strand not from the base, but a little lower, approximately at eye level. It is also necessary to position the curlers, winding them in one direction.
• Leave the curlers until the hair is completely dry. If you wish, you can lie down in them to sleep or dry the strands with a hairdryer. Please note that styling will not work quickly, as the hair must be allowed to dry completely.
• Remove the curlers by pulling on the bottom tip. Sprinkle the finished hairstyle with varnish and mix the curls a little with your hands. You can't brush your hair.

We bring to your attention several fashionable styling options using a method such as biowave on spiral curlers.

Spiral hair styling is very popular among girls and women of all ages. Many of them share their opinion.

Most agree that this method is very convenient and safe. This is especially important when performing children's styling, when you need to act as carefully as possible. However, girls are unhappy with the fact that it takes a huge amount of time to dry their hair, so many of them prefer curling on a curling iron.

Basically, girls prefer to do styling on soft curlers. They argue that choosing this method is good both for everyday life and for going out. Using solid curlers requires a lot of time and effort and is more suitable for creating an evening look.

In general, customers recommend this method of curling their hair, but specify that the use of hard curlers is not suitable for brittle damaged hair. For curls in poor condition, it is advised to choose a soft version of the papillots.
