How to make your hair wavy
We can offer you some simpleways to make beautiful waves in your hair. And we will start, perhaps, with the oldest methods. On rags Even our great-grandmothers made curls for themselves in this way - it was called "curling hair on papillotes". You need to take small strips of fabric and wind a "roll" of paper in the middle of their length. The paper will be the base on which you need to curl your hair. Moreover, the hair should be damp enough. It is better to start with the lower strands. Lift the hair up and pin it up. From the lower part of the hair, separate a strand and wind it on a paper roller. When the hair is curled, take the ends of the rag that hang on the sides of the curled strand and tie them in a knot, securing the curled hair. Do this until you curl all the strands. If you want to get larger curls, then curl voluminous strands of hair. If you want to get smaller curls, the strands should be thinner, and you can curl them directly on rags, without paper. You need to keep your hair on the curlers for at least five hours, so it is best to curl it this way at night. Curling your hair on rags and uncurling it in the morning is quite a painstaking job, but the result will please you very much. Wavy hair curled this way does not uncurl for quite a long time, and the curls retain their shape even in high humidity (for example, in the rain).On hairpins This is also a rather old method.Wash your hair, then let it dry slightly. Separate a strand, twist a ring of hair with your fingers. Then our grandmothers fastened the ring of hair with the same rags. We can suggest fixing the hair with small crab clips. With this method, air has more access to the hair, and moisture evaporates from it faster. As soon as the hair dries, remove the rags or clips and carefully comb the curls. To make them last longer, it is worth spraying the hair with hairspray. You can also use a hair styling product before you start curling the strands. With mousse You can quickly achieve light waves using only a towel and hair styling mousse. All you need to do is dry your hair thoroughly with a towel after washing, and then apply hair styling mousse to it. Then you need to lower your head down so that your hair hangs freely, and start squeezing your hair in your palms, crumpling each strand from the bottom up. Try to make your hair lie in a loose wave. You can help yourself by slightly drying your hair with a hair dryer, setting a low air pressure. Continue to crumple your hair until it is completely dry. Of course, you will not make curls this way, but your hair will look very voluminous and will lie in a light wave. On curlers Women have been curling their hair on curlers for a long time, but now there is a huge variety of all kinds of shapes and types of these devices for curling hair. These are plastic curlers, and foam curlers, Velcro, electric, paraffin ... They come in different diameters - for small or large curls. As a rule, curlers of a small diameter are used for shorter hair, and curlers of a larger diameter - for long hair. Wet hair is curled on cold curlers and is not uncurled until it is completely dry. And dry hair should be curled on hot curlers (for example, electric or paraffin). In this case, the curlers are removed only after they have completely cooled down. On a curling iron Do you know how to make hair wavy with a curling iron? Let's start with the fact that you need to choose the right curling iron. If you have long hair, then you need to buy a curling iron that has a longer barrel. Shorter hair can be successfully curled with regular curling iron. Here's how to do it:
- Wash hair with a hair dryer or give it todry naturally. If you want to protect your hair from heat exposure during winding on hot tongs, apply a special protective spray on the strands.
- Divide the dried hair into three or fourparts, fix them with rubber bands or clips. This will simplify the process of curling, as the harvested strands will not disturb you. In addition, you will be sure that you wind all the hair, not missing a single strand.
- Grab one small strand, wrap it aroundtrunk of the hearth. Securing the lock with a clamp of forceps, hold it in this position for ten to fifteen seconds, so that the hair is warmed up properly and fixed the shape.
- Each curled locks pinch with a barrette so that it does not remain hanging while you curl the rest of the strands, otherwise the curl will not properly hold the shape.
- Continue so to curl all the hair, until you have wound all the strands.
- When the curls cool down, remove all hairpins and sprinkle your hair with your favorite varnish, which will prolong the life of your curls.
