How to make curls with a curling iron at home: master class, photo, video
Today, curls remain one of the most popular styling options for all occasions. Woman`s Day offers a master class by stylist Lyubov Peterson on creating curls with a curling iron.
How to make curls with a curling iron?
Preparation for creating curls begins with a thorough shampooing. Stylist Lyubov Peterson notes that it is important to choose the right shampoo and balm for your hair type, this affects both the condition of the hair and the result of styling. After the hair must be dried and proceed directly to the creation of curls with a curling iron. The stylist suggests not to apply a heat protection spray before curling, since the alcohol contained in it can adversely affect the hair.
Even the highest quality curling iron greatly dries the hair, so frequent use of this method of creating curls is undesirable.
On the market, there are many types of pins aimed at consumers with any income. Love uses a professional ceramic coated tool.
It allows you to evenly heat the strand without damaging it when curling, which makes it possible to use the curling iron quite often without serious harm to the hair.
Curling iron for large curls
In order to create a large curl, you should choose a curling iron with a large diameter, however if you choose a cone-shaped tool – such as the one used by Love – you can use the wide half of the cone to create large curls and the narrow side to create curls at medium length, such versatility allows you to use a cone-shaped curling iron to create a variety of curls at any length of hair.
In the master class, Lyubov Peterson will demonstrate how to create large natural curls with a curling iron at home, suitable both for everyday bows and for a glamorous party.
1. Separate a section of hair with a vertical parting
2. Bring the curling iron to the roots of the hair and wind a strand around it in the direction from the face
You can hold the curling iron with the end up, and vice versa.
Since our task is to create large curls, try to highlight with partings not thin, but rather voluminous strands, so the curl will turn out to be larger and will look natural. To create the desired effect, try not to wind the end of the strand too much – the curl should turn out to be free and light, and not in the form of a spiral, otherwise the styling will look unnatural. Roll the strands up to the middle of the back of the head in the same way.
3. Starting from the middle of the back of the head, the direction of the curl must be changed and the strands must be wound clockwise
Thus, on both sides, the strands will be wound in the direction from the face towards the back of the head, this is the effect we need for fashionable styling.
When all the hair is curled up, we proceed to create a luxurious volume. If your hair is thick enough – Lyubov Peterson recommends to give up combing, which injures your hair. You can create volume with styling.
4. The product is applied to horizontal partings from a distance of 15-20 cm
Love uses Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. It has a dry texture and a very intense spray that allows you to create maximum volume without sticking or marks on the hair. This will give a more natural and dynamic effect than lacquered fleece.
5. After application, tilt your head forward and gently tousle the hair at the roots with your fingers.
6. Pull your hair back, distribute with your hands
7. Carefully spread the curls with your hands, without combing with a brush, give them shape and direction with your fingers
8. Fix the result with hairspray
The lifespan of your curls depends not only on the wrapping technique and the tool used, but also on the structure of the hair: the thicker your hair, the denser its structure, the faster the curl will straighten out under its own weight. If your hair is of this structure, consider this and use a higher temperature of the curling iron. You can also slightly fix each strand with styling immediately after wrapping.
Do not be afraid to experiment, with our master classes you will always be aware of the most current trends.
