Curls can be made using different devices, but much depends on the length of the hair. On short hair you will not be able to use an iron, and very long hair can get tangled in small and thin curlers. Therefore, from all the variety, they choose their own method, which will give desired result with a minimum investment of time and effort.

Curls with a curling iron

Using an iron (straightener)

An important condition for using the iron is dry and clean hair... If moisture remains, it is very easy to burn them. As a result, instead of beautiful and flowing curls, you get hard, dry, damaged strands. It is important to dry your hair not only after washing, but also after applying thermal protection.

Choosing the right curling iron diameter

The shape and size of curls primarily depends on the diameter of the curling iron. For creating voluminous curls you should choose medium-sized electric tongs, small curls are ideally formed using a curling iron with a smaller diameter. Large diameter tools won't give you cute curls. They are created not so much for curling curls as for giving them volume. Remember that by winding thick strands on a small curling iron, you will not get a curl at all, but a careless light wave, which, meanwhile, will last all day.

3. Do not overexpose the tongs on the strands.

Also, for beautiful curls, experts recommend:

1. Take not too large strands. If the volume of each of them exceeds 2.5 cm, then they simply cannot be scrolled.

2. To get clear, pronounced spirals from the hair, the curling iron should be held vertically, with the handle down, during winding. Larger, graceful curls will turn out if you hold the appliance horizontally.

3. Curl short hair holding the curling iron upright and grabbing the strands from the very roots. Long curls you can wind it up as your heart desires: from the roots, from the middle, or just the ends.

4. Ready-made curls (you now know how to make at home in various ways) experts advise not to touch until they cool completely.

To give the curls created with the curling iron, durability, hairdressers recommend one simple, but very effective method... All that is needed is to let the curls cool in a curled state. A strand should be wrapped around well-heated tongs. Wrap the resulting curl around your finger with a ring and secure it with invisibility. The strand fixed in this way cools down as evenly as possible. After the hair has cooled completely, the curls can be styled into the hair.

Pay attention to the position of the iron in the photo: the heating part is at the bottom. If you do the curls yourself, it is more convenient to hold it with the tongs up, but this way the curling effect is less noticeable.

Step-by-step instruction:

• Hair should be clean, wash and dry;
• Separate a thin, preferably not too wide strand;
• Departing from the roots at least 3 cm, grab the strand with an iron, and turning it 180 degrees, as slowly as possible, lead it down. In this case, it is important not to squeeze the strand harder than necessary, because otherwise it will turn out to be angular;
• When dividing your hair into strands, wind them in the same way;
• Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb, which is usually used for dyeing;
• Secure the result with hairspray.
