That's why when you get your hair cut and styledbeauty salon, then your head is simply in perfect condition, ready to be photographed on the cover of a magazine? But a little time will pass, as the gloss and shine added to our hairstyle disappears somewhere, the hair again becomes unruly and does not want to take the shape that was given to it in this very salon. Or do they know a magic word there, which the hair obeys? Or do all the people working in these salons are wizards and conjurers? But you know, there is some truth in these assumptions! In fact, the work of a hairdresser resembles the witch's passes or the dexterous manipulations of a prestidigitator. Have you noticed how deftly the masters handle all sorts of combs, scissors, hair dryers and the like? And what an arsenal of auxiliary means they use - foams, varnishes, mousses, shampoos, glosses - any sorceress would envy! And they know a magic word! And the word (or rather, words) is: hair styling rules! That's the whole secret. Believe me, styling your hair at home is quite within the power of any of us, if we get even a little bit closer to the skill of a professional. And for this, we need to acquire the appropriate tools and auxiliary means (like the masters), master the basics of hair styling rules. Well, ladies, shall we start becoming sorceresses?
Tools
In order for hair styling at home to at least remotely resemble the result of a professional's manipulations, we will need the following tools:
- Hair dryer is needed for drying hair and giving them volume.
- Styler (hair iron). It will be necessary to create a hairstyle with straight or straightened hair, as well as for hairstyles with corrugated strands.
- Tongs or hair curlers. With their help, we will make the hair curly or just wavy.
- Hairbrush-brushing (round brush for hair) - curls, a large wave, the right direction and the correct position of the strands, as well as the volume of the hair.
- Frame hairbrush. A special brush on a rectangular or round basis, designed directly for hair styling.
Hair styling products: gels, foams, mousses, varnishes, waxes, sprays. Firstly, they will protect your hair from the not so useful styling process (hot hair dryer and curling irons), and also fix your hairstyle:
Well, that's actually all the tools,which will help us turn into a sorceress, master the basics of hairdressing and style our hair beautifully at home. But before you start mastering this art on your own head, it would be a good idea to prepare yourself by remembering the basic rules of hair styling.
Hair styling rules
Remember where your visit beginshairdressing salon? Yes, that's right - with washing your hair. And even if you assure the hairdresser that your hair is clean, he will still give you a hair wash. And this is not at all out of disgust. It's just that the styling "lays down" better and lasts longer on freshly washed hair. And this is the first secret of the hairdressers! Working with a hair dryer also has its secrets. Firstly, you can't style wet hair with a hair dryer: it's easy to damage it. Therefore, the hair should be allowed to dry slightly naturally or speed up this process with a towel. Secondly, the hair should be dried and styled by setting the air flow to medium speed and setting it to medium temperature. You need to start styling (drying) from the roots, and direct the air flow from top to bottom. A concentrator nozzle will speed up the drying process, a diffuser nozzle helps to achieve the effect of curls. After styling with a hair dryer, the hair should be allowed to cool for ten minutes, then the styling will last longer. Styling with a styler or tongs can only be done with dry hair, to which a heat-protective agent must first be applied. Curling of curls begins from the crown, and straightening – from the lower strands. To make hair look shiny, after washing it should be rinsed with cold water or run an ice cube through it. Under the influence of cold, the hair will “shrink” and become smoother.
Hair styling options
Express styling is suitable for hair of any length.Tilt your head down (forward or backward, as you prefer) and simply spray the roots with hairspray, then shake your hair. Quick styling requires a haircut that will set the shape of your hairstyle and a certain habit. For this type of styling, you will need a frame comb and a hair dryer. Raise slightly damp hair with a comb at the roots (against hair growth) and dry with a hair dryer. The direction of the strands is also set with a frame comb. This way, you will get a voluminous styling. Semi-professional styling is done with a styler or tongs, sometimes on hair that has already been dried with a hair dryer using a frame comb and has volume at the roots. To do this, you need to have experience and an idea of how the combed curls will look. With the help of curlers, you can get curls of different sizes and different shapes that will make the hair "lie" up, down or even to the side. And the so-called holiday styling is available not only to professionals, but also to mere mortals. True, most likely, for such a hairstyle you will need not only the largest possible set of tools and products, but also quite aggressive styling methods (backcombing, for example) and all sorts of hairpieces, hairpins, hairpins, etc. But do not be afraid: holidays and going out are not every day for us, and learning how to tidy up your hair for everyday life is not that difficult. Hair styling at home will only require you to know the rules, a sense of proportion and taste, as well as tools and products for styling. And, of course, training! What did you think? Moscow was not built in a day. So train and get used to being beautiful every day, not just on holidays. We recommend reading:
