It is most convenient to do this hairstyle with narrow tongs, because this way you will speed up this process. After that, you need to choose the temperature of the curling iron - if you have weak and naturally thin hair, you should not set the temperature above 160-180 degrees. Also, this temperature is the most acceptable for blond hair, because they are thinner. If you have healthy and strong hair, you can set the temperature to 200 - 220 degrees, and experts indicate that this temperature will not harm your hair.

After that, you need to prepare your hair for styling, namely, wash it. This is necessary so that the hairstyle lasts longer. In addition, oily hair is very difficult to style, you will have to spend several hours creating such a voluminous hairstyle.

It will not only provide not only durability, but also additional protection for the hair. After that, you need to carefully comb your hair, getting rid of lumps and confusion.

In the process of creating such a styling, it is necessary to take strands, starting from the top of the head, and each curl should be very thin - it is better if it is no wider than 2 cm. The strand must be carefully placed between the plates of the tongs so that the hair on them is not tangled. After that, you need to pinch the strand for about 15 seconds, no longer, otherwise you can ruin your hair by drying it out. First you need to do this work with all the strands of the top layer of hair, and if this volume is not enough for you, you can select another layer of hair and lift it up as well. The whole hairstyle should not be styled in this way, otherwise it will be overly lush, which will look a little ridiculous.

At the end of styling, be sure to use hairspray, which will fix the effect and help maintain the perfect shape of the hairstyle.It is best not to comb the hair at the roots throughout the day, so as not to remove the volume and not ruin the hairstyle. Hair should be combed carefully, starting from the tips, without stretching the strands too much. Thus, a hairstyle with an elegant volume at the roots with the help of a corrugated curling iron will be ready.

With the help of a curling iron, you can also very easily make volumetric styling at the roots. To raise the hair at the base, it is important to know how to wind them correctly, because it will not start from the ends, as is the case when creating a regular styling. To add volume with a roller, you need to take one thin strand from the top of the hair and gently wrap it around the surface of the roller, and then pinch it with the other side of the tongs. It will be enough to hold each strand for about 10 seconds to get a beautiful volume at the roots. In this way, only the top layer of hair is usually lifted. Usually this is enough to create a lush and elegant styling.
