Of course, curling hair with curlers has a small drawback - at first, this procedure takes quite a lot of time. But over time, if you curl your hair regularly, you will learn how to curl your hair quickly. Of course, each type of curler differs in the technique of their use. But all types of curlers have several rules in common. So, you should not dry your hair too much before curling, since overdried hair is quite difficult to wind on curlers, and curling dry hair will quickly lose its shape. But you should not curl too wet hair, since it can become too steamed, which also does not contribute to a high-quality curl. And the process of putting hair on curlers and their subsequent drying will take too much time. If the hair is too dry, then it should be sprayed with water from a spray bottle before curling.
What is important to know before curling?
So what do you need to know before youcurl your hair with curlers? Let's figure it out. First, you need to prepare the tools necessary for curling. First of all, you will need, of course, the curlers themselves. You will also need two mirrors and a comb with a thin long handle. It would also be a good idea to have a spray bottle of water on hand. Having two mirrors is necessary so that you can curl your hair at the back of your head. Using a comb with a thin handle, you can easily separate individual strands of hair, and a spray bottle will be needed if your hair is overdried. When curling your hair with curlers, each strand must be carefully combed, especially if the curlers used have bristles, since poorly combed hair will simply get tangled in these bristles and freeing it from the curlers will be quite problematic and time-consuming. In order for the curl to last longer, you can use special fixatives, which should be moistened with the hair before curling. Such fixatives lay on the hair as a light film, and also strengthen and protect it. When choosing a fixative, remember that it should suit your hair type, since an incorrectly chosen fixative will not only not improve the quality of the curl, but on the contrary, will only harm the hairstyle. So, if you apply a fixative with the lightest degree of fixation to thin hair, then the hairstyle will be well preserved, while fixatives with a stronger fixation will only weigh down the hairstyle and it will quickly lose its shape.
How correctly to wind hair on curlers?
The technique of curling hair on curlers is not something unimaginably complicated. There are several rules for curling hair:
- With the help of a comb (which is needed - we have alreadytold) you should separate a lock of hair equal to the width of the curlers used. To ensure that the separated strand does not fall apart in the hands with a curl it should be slightly sprinkled with water from the spray gun. Twist the strand from the ends of the hair, attaching them to the middle of the curler and wrapping the curlers inward, so that her hair is wrapped evenly. And so to the very roots of the hair, and do not screw the hair too tightly, so that it does not hurt. So it should be wound all the hair, after which you should wait for the hair to dry completely and then remove the curlers. To comb hair it is necessary not earlier than in a quarter of an hour after a wave - so locks longer will keep the form.
- If your hair is thin or naughty, whichwith minimal moisture, they lose their styling, then, before winding the strand, special gel or foam should be applied to it. Modern hair styling products not only help keep the hairstyle much longer, but also strengthen the hair. Choose a styling product according to your hair type.
- If you decide to use electric curlers, then you know: too often they can not be used. In addition, on the electric curler, only dry hair should be wound.
- Hair in the forehead needs to be wound on larger curlers than on the back of the head and the sides of the head.
- It is important that the tip of the strand should lie flat on the curlers, as otherwise the tips will turn out to be sloppy and it will ruin the entire hairstyle.
- Strands need to be wound strictly at an angle of 900 to the roots of the hair with a slight tension of the strand.

The heating rods heat the curlers, after which you can curl your hair on them. Very often, electric curlers are equipped with bristles. Wet hair should never be curled with this type of curlers. When curling hair with curlers with pins, the standard curling technology is used, but after the strand is wound on the curlers, you should take the pin and diagonally push it into the curlers so that the lower end of the pin is adjacent to the head. Curlers with an elastic band are used in the same way as all other types, but the strand wound on the curlers is secured with an elastic band. To do this, you need to pull the tip, which is secured to the elastic band, and move it to the opposite end of the curler so that the hair is secured with an elastic band on both sides.
