How to make hair waves. Video instruction
Long wavy hair looks feminine and romantic. They attract attention and fit perfectly into any style. Curly hair is a great base for a ton of interesting hairstyles. However, they look beautiful and loose. If nature has not rewarded you with luxurious curls, do not be discouraged: you can create them in just a few minutes using simple improvised means.
Curling irons and curling irons
You can quickly style your hair into beautiful waves using a curling iron. Many curling tongs are equipped with various attachments – corrugated, spiral, etc., which allows you to create a hairstyle of any complexity. In order not to burn your hair and ruin your hairstyle, apply special styling products with thermal protective properties to your hair before creating waves.
To create beautiful curls, first wash your hair with shampoo and apply conditioner to it.
Curl thin strands, holding the tongs vertically, and slowly move in a spiral. If you want to keep the curls longer, after finishing the styling procedure, fix the hairstyle with hairspray.
To create wavy hair with a straightener, use one of the following methods: – turn the straightener 180 °, then turn it towards you, holding the ends of the hair; – constantly turn the straightener, gently pushing it down through the hair; – turn the straightener 180 ° down, slide down 1 to 2 cm and rotate 180 ° to the other side.
Remember to apply a heat protectant to your hair before using the straightener.
If you are strongly against tongs and irons because you think they damage your hair, use a curler. Today this tool for creating a beautiful styling, still loved by our great-grandmothers, has been greatly modernized. You can find Velcro curlers, plastic tubes with rubber clips, foam rubber curlers with a velor coating on sale.
The technique of using the curler is very simple. Roll the wet strands onto the curler tubes, secure and do not remove until the hair is completely dry. For the best curling effect, keep them longer – several hours or overnight. Heated curlers will help speed up the process of creating curls. However, in this case, it should be remembered that they have the same harmful effect on the hair as electrical appliances. Therefore, with this styling option, first use foams and mousses with thermal protective properties.
There is another harmless way to make your hair wavy at home. Braid your washed and slightly dried hair in pigtails and leave it overnight. The tighter and thinner the braids are, the more voluminous and magnificent the hairstyle will turn out. In the morning, undo the braids, shape the hair and fix with varnish. Alternatively, you can twist your wet hair into multiple bundles, but they are not very comfortable for sleeping, and the effect of lush hair will also be less.
Sometimes the hair is a little wavy on its own, but you want to make the curls more defined. In this case, apply the mousse or styling gel to clean and damp hair, slightly receding from the roots. Then begin to fluff your hair with your hands, periodically collecting individual strands and squeezing them tightly in a fist. Continue these steps until the hair is dry. On average, this procedure takes half an hour.
