Forms and types of curls. How to make curls: features and basic ways

Over the years curled locks are popular with the female. From time to time, the hair style changes, the fashion comes and goes, but the curls remain always relevant. They give the image of a woman romantic, mysterious, and with a certain styling - solemnity. Almost every beauty salon offers a curling service. However, you can do your hair yourself. Modern technologies of hair styling and curling allow creating conceived types of curls with the help of ironing, a hair dryer with or without nozzles and in many other ways.

General concepts of wave

Curling for a short time is styling. It consists of several operations, allowing you to perform a hairstyle of any shape. Such packing keeps the form up to 3-4 days. If the strands are moistened with water, they will take the original form. You can twist them with a special hair curler.

Types of curls and the life of the installation depends on the shape of the hair, its cross section, which each person individually. The shape is round, oval, ribbon-like. Hair will be more curly with a less circular shape of the cross section of the hair. This kind of hair keeps the styling longer. In addition to the shape, the physical properties of the paving are influenced by the tensile strength, elasticity and elasticity. If the locks moisten, then their elasticity and strength will be significantly reduced, and elasticity, on the contrary, will increase. When wet, the length of the hair increases, and when dried, they return to their previous state.

Ways of styling

There is a cold laying, which is based on the physical properties of the hair. For example, if wet, and therefore, the elongated hair is wound on the curler, then when dried, they will act as a force of compression, contributing to the reduction in length. But since the hair is not in a free state, they can not regain their full length. The effect on them during drying will lead to a change in shape, which will be temporary and insignificant. Today, the styling can be done in several ways:

• cold;
• Curlers and clips;
• A hairdryer;
• Hot pliers for styling.

What kinds of ringlets are there?

In the form of curls are divided into:

• Straight (simple);
• Obliques;
• Drainage;
• Vertical;
• Crumpled;
• Parallel (several rows).

Straight locks are considered to be horizontal. If they are arranged in several rows, they will be parallel. The oblique curls are located at an angle of approximately 45 ° with respect to the horizontal. The crimped strands in the creation of the hairstyle are laid so that their base has waves that turn to the ends into a curl. Curls with spirals discharged from the middle in the form of a spiral are called drain ends. Such a hairstyle requires a hair length of at least 20-25 cm.

What kinds of hairstyles are with curls?

There are quite a few types of hairstyles with curls:

• Festive styling: the hair is combed, the horizontal line is divided in half, the back part is combed and tied into a tail, they wind it all together, also they comb the tail, wrap around the gum and fix it with studs (a bunch is obtained). Then the front part is divided into small curls and is divided by a straight or lateral parting. After podkalyvayut curls to naches and bunches.
• Curls sidewise: if the hair is straight, then wind it with a hair curler. The types of curls do not matter much, but the largest ones will do the most. The back part of the head of hear is collected in the tail (you can use a hairpiece). The hair of the front part is combed and scuffed with varnish. Naches put back, and gently comb the upper strands. On the vertex, everything is collected and fixed with invisibility, after which a thin prick on the forehead is released in front. The tail is thrown to the side.
• Romantic styling on long hair. Comb the strands. If they are even, then wind on the curling iron. Strands near the roots are combed with a comb and neatly stacked from above to the middle. After all the ringlets are collected in the hand and tied with an elastic band almost at the very ends, which are wrapped down and pinned with studs.

You can also make a variety of stylish hairstyles, examples of which are easy to find in any women's magazine. For them, different types of curls and different lengths of hair are suitable. Instructions for creating a hairstyle can be found both with photographs and with video guides.

All about curlers

So, let's look at the existing types of hair curlers, and what curls are produced with them. Once upon a time such tools were boiled in a saucepan and then wound on them with hair. These times are in the past. Progress does not stand still. However, such products can still be found on sale. On them are still similar (on the principle of action) electro-curlers. If such devices are used often, then the hair can suffer, so they are usually used for express-winding. The most popular recently used curlers for cold wave: foam rubber, plastic, hair curlers, bobbins, boomerangs, velvet curlers, wooden and plastic spiral.

• Foam - suitable for sleep, but quickly wear out.
• Plastic - durable, but leave the creases in the curls.
• Velcro - come in different sizes and at different lengths of hair. They do not need clamps. They can also be used when only a radical wrapping for volume is needed. Styling turns out pretty beautiful. Dry quickly, but can confuse hair when removed.
• Bobbin - help to create a uniform curls of small size (the effect of a chemical wave). Wrap them in wet hair with foam.
• Boomerangs are convenient in a hurry, safe, you can sleep with them. Short-lived.

• Velvet - give the opportunity to wind thin and weak hair. As a result - homogeneous and beautiful curls. They are often used by professionals.
• Wooden (plastic) - result in springy and elastic curls. Disadvantage - you can not get a radical wave.

What to prefer?

So, how to choose curlers, given their types? The shape of the curls depends on the type of curlers that are used for winding. If the purpose of the wrap is a lush volume, it is necessary to take a large diameter of the products. They are also perfect for large curls. If there is a desire to use boomerangs for long hair, then it is worthwhile to choose the rubber and dense hair curlers. Then the result will be better learned than with the foam rubber ones. However, the optimal solution will be the choice of hair curlers. Of course, there is a risk of entanglement of hair during unwinding, but it is minimal. Boomerangs are perfect for short hair, like bobbins with plastic.

Hair of medium length can be wound using different curlers. This is the best length for various experiments. It is only necessary to pay attention to the condition of the hair: type, dryness, brittle. For thin strands, curlers with velvety or velor coating will be the best choice, which makes it possible to make a gentle curl. Small diameter should not be taken, as there is a risk of breaking hair when combing.

Curled hair on a bagel

A very stylish hairstyle will turn out if you make a donut from a dense fabric, which will give you the opportunity to walk with a hairdo all day and provide chic locks to the next. To do this, you need to carefully dissolve a bundle of hair, which is wound on the base, and carefully distribute the entire mass of hair in strands. Next, consolidate the resulting curls with a small amount of varnish, which is evenly sprayed on the entire surface. This option is suitable for all types of hair, both long and medium.

Curls with ironing and ployka

Such tools make it possible to create different types of curls and arrange them in several ways. This will save time. Minus is a high temperature, causing trauma to the hair. Often even the use of a protective agent does not help to keep their health to the fullest.

To get light, air curls, you need to twist strands from the tips. If you wind from the roots, then the curls will become bulky and larger. The thinner the curl, the thinner the curl. The longer the strand is held under heat, the more it will retain its shape for a longer time. If the hair is heated for a very long time, then in addition to injury, they can get burned!

Alternatively, you can use the following method of wrapping. After washing, we dry the hair, then twist them into bundles and go through each several times with ironing. After carefully disassemble the strand with your fingers and fix it with varnish.

Choosing curling iron

The choice of pots is wide enough. They are made of different materials, have different nozzles and diameter. The type of working surface is one of the main characteristics on which quality depends, curl types and safety for hair. Plaices have:

• Metal surface. This is the cheapest but damaging tool for the hair, since it literally burns them. In addition, such a plate does not warm up unevenly, which affects the quality of the ringlets.
• Cover from teflon - hair glides on the surface without sticking, thereby minimizing the risk of overdrying. Such a curling warms evenly and creates a beautiful, firm curl. Minus - the fragility of the coating (after a year of active use it is erased). Under the coating is metal, which is already unsafe for the hair.
• Ceramics and ceramic coating warms evenly, as well as distributes heat, which makes it possible to perfectly form curls. This material is gentle to the hair. More professional plaques are made of ceramics. If the tool is only covered with ceramics, then, most likely, this layer will be erased. The best choice is a fully ceramic fuse.
• Tourmaline coating - one of the best for today and the safest for hair.
• Titanium coating acts on the hair like a tourmaline. This device is the best for thin and weakened hair. It takes the leading place among the plaques.

• Glass ceramics is a professional tool. The result is chic locks.
• Titanium-ceramics - safe for hair and "not killed."
• With silver nanoparticles - have a healing effect.
• With anodized coating - better than ceramics. The tool is resistant to various external influences, long serves and gently twists the hair.

Perm

To date, often without hydrogen peroxide chemical perm. The types of curls in this case depend on the shape and size of curlers. This method among the chemical waves brings the least injury to the hair. It is suitable for those who already know the negative effects of chemistry, but still wants to make curls in this way. A distinctive feature of this method is the lack of not only peroxide, but also ammonia. Therefore, the solution used and becomes sparing. There is an opinion that curls with such a wave are less elastic and do not last a long time. This is not true! Curls will be voluminous and quite natural.
