There are a huge number of different options for curls that will help emphasize your special and unique image. Here are a few options that are especially loved by beautiful women:

• Light, careless curls. Naturalness is something that will always be valued above all trendy styles. Especially this type of styling is relevant now, when everything natural is so popular. But despite the outward simplicity of the hairstyle, it will take a lot of time to create it. After all, the main thing is that the curls look neat and beautiful, creating the effect of only slight negligence, and not untidiness and neglect of their appearance. To create such a hairstyle, you need to slightly wind clean, dry hair with a large curling iron, on which you must first apply a protective composition. It is best not to use strong hold varnishes or other strong fixatives. Hair should not appear sticky and stiff.

• Spirals. They are also called African curls or "corkscrew". The hairstyle consists of many elastic small curls, which are created using tongs of small diameter.After curling, the hair must be shaken with your hands to give more volume, but in no case should you use a comb. Fix the result with varnish and make sure that the strands are neatly and evenly curled. Such a spectacular styling is sure to attract admiring glances.
• Zigzag curls. This is a very unusual and stylish version of the hairstyle. During the styling process, the effect of broken curls is created. This result can be achieved with a regular curling iron with a certain skill. However, today special nozzles for tongs are sold, allowing you to quickly and easily make an original hairstyle.

Various winding methods:

• Vertical. When curling hair up, medium-sized curls are obtained. The curling iron clamp should be at the top, and the pin should be at the bottom. You need to curl your hair in small strands of no more than five centimeters, holding the tool at a right angle relative to your head. The curl is wound along the entire length, from roots to ends.
• Horizontal. The result of this method will be round large curls. Curling irons must be held horizontally, while scrolling the hair in a spiral. Start curling from the ends.
• "Eight". To create such curls, you need to separate a small strand of hair, grab the tip of the curl with the device and perform one and a half turns with the device inward (i.e. towards yourself). With your other hand, pull the strand and make sure that the curling iron remains directed towards you. Next, rotate the curling iron with a “figure of eight” and make sure that all the strands are scrolled in the same direction.

Thick long hair takes a lot of time to style. To get a beautiful styling, separate small strands and curl them in turn with well-heated tongs. After creating the curl, secure it with a barrette so that it does not lose its shape until the curling process is completed. Choose curling irons with a large diameter, about 25 millimeters.

The average length of hair is considered to be approximately to the shoulders or shoulder blades. For them, devices with a diameter of 19-25 millimeters are ideal. Styling such hair is a little easier than long hair, and it is not necessary to fix it with a hairpin. However, it should be remembered that such a hairstyle may turn out to be too voluminous. Therefore, it is best to curl your hair not along the entire length, but only two-thirds. Also, do not neglect the means for shaping and fixing the styling.

To create curls on short strands, thin curling irons ranging in size from 16 millimeters are suitable. Such strands should be wound, stepping back from the roots about two or three centimeters. You can easily and quickly create small elastic curls or luxurious curls on such hair. The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment and spend time styling.

To create a beautiful and practical hairstyle in the shortest possible time, follow a few simple steps:

• We twist the ends. Use a suitable curling iron and create large or small curls at the ends of the hair. So the hairstyle will look neat, more attractive and feminine.
• We make a root volume. Even the most beautiful curls will not look spectacular without the appropriate volume at the roots. It can be achieved in different ways.The easiest way is to use special mousses and styling products that can lift the strands from the roots or use a cone-shaped curling iron, as we said earlier.

Now gather your hair at the top of your head and secure it with a beautiful elastic band or hairpin. This styling is suitable for both everyday life and for going out. Luxurious volume will add a special charm to your hairstyle, you will look amazing at any event.

It will turn out to wind only those artificial strands on which there is a special mark "thermo". Such hair can be wound with a regular curling iron at a temperature of about 190 degrees. It takes only 50 seconds or one minute to create a beautiful curl. The main thing is not to dissolve the curl immediately after removing it from the tongs, otherwise it will not hold its shape.

If you try to make curls on ordinary artificial hair, they will simply melt. Therefore, when buying wigs and overlays, be sure to consider this point. And do not try to wind curls that are not suitable for this, so as not to spoil the material.
