Curls for medium hair have become quite a popular hairstyle, but in order to learn how to style and properly style them, you need to approach the issue wisely and give it time. You should not do yourself styling just because it is so suitable for a friend. To look elegant and stylish, you need to try on yourself several ways to create curls and only then individually select the most successful option.

Medium Hair Curls: Creative Ideas

Curls are something that will never go out of style. It is worth recalling the world-class beauties: Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Marlene Dietrich - all of them paid tribute to the pretty curls. And this is justified, because such a hairstyle emphasizes femininity, pleasantly frames the face and brings a playful mood. The only thing that modifies over time is the size and shape of the curls.

If earlier the main rule for successful styling was considered to be the same length and width curls, today stylists embark on a creative flight and bring their "zest" to the long-established standard.

 

In addition, the ability to perform curls has grown significantly - now on the market there is a wide selection of equipment, cosmetics for hair and accessories.

 

Today, almost every lady knows the basics of self-modeling curls, but still some of the secrets of the master are trying to keep secret. For example, that for hard hair, the use of fixing varnish is not necessary at all - such a curl will already hold excellent for several hours.

Ironing

Making curls with an iron is one of the fastest methods.No need to wait for hours until each strand settles down and, moreover, fall asleep with uncomfortable hard whooping. Fans of romantic images should pay maximum attention to just such a method, because it guarantees a natural and laid-back effect.

 

Curls with an iron are not difficult to perform, but still the process requires a little skill.

 

In order not to be disappointed with the result, we carry out all the steps in turn:

  1. We warm the iron.
  2. Separate one strand.
  3. We bring the equalizer just above the level where the curl will begin.
  4. We fix the hair between the surfaces and in a slow circular motion, rotate the curling iron.

It is not recommended to hold the iron in one part of the strand - at this place it may form a hall.

 

The downside of this procedure for some may be the inability to make a turn from the very roots. Lovers of voluminous hair, most likely, will have to abandon this method.

Using curlers

The oldest wrapping method is with curlers. A long time ago, women noticed that if you wrap wet strands on a round base and wait until they dry, then you get quite nice curls. Due to the gradual exposure and relatively low temperature, the damage from overheating of the hair shaft is practically reduced to zero, which cannot be said about curling irons and irons. This is a significant advantage of this method. Another positive point is the ability to wind even short hair, fixing them with a cap on the cylinder.

 

The correctness of the performance depends on the manufacturer's recommendations, as these accessories are made of different materials, which differ in the speed of reaching and maintaining the required temperature.

 

But in general terms, the process goes like this:

  1. We warm the curlers. Old Soviet papillots need to be boiled in water for about 7 - 10 minutes, and modern ones are enough to pour boiling water for 5 minutes.
  2. We wrap each individual strand on the accessory, securing it with a cap.
  3. We heat the hair with a hairdryer.
  4. We remove the curlers only after the hair has completely dried.

 

The drawback can be considered the length of the procedure. At room temperature, curlers should be kept on your head for at least 8 hours.

Small curls

In addition to classic curlers, there is a similar method of wrapping using wooden bobbins. They are much smaller than their counterparts, so they create small beautiful curls. It is difficult to visually determine: the owner of these curls masterfully owns the styling technique or is she endowed with elegant hair from nature? Others do not need to know these secrets.

 

To get a voluminous resistant hairstyle, you need to follow some rules:

  1. Squeeze a sufficient amount of mousse on your hands and distribute it evenly.
  2. We divide the hair into strands and wrap them into bobbins from the bottom up, fasten with hairpins.
  3. We heat curls with a hairdryer.
  4. After 4 hours, you can remove accessories and enjoy the transformation.

 

If the room temperature is not high, it is better to go to bed with fixed hair, in which case they will definitely have time to completely dry out. But not everyone is ready to sacrifice a comfortable sleep for the sake of beauty ...

The waves

Not so long ago, an advanced hair-wrapping technique appeared on the domestic market. Its feature is the creation of not round curls, namely waves. This innovation will appeal to those who are tired of the template curls in the form of a rare telephone wire. It is possible that such a curling iron is only a kind of corrugation. The essence of her work also lies in squeezing hair between two hot arched surfaces. The difference is only in the size of the received waves: if the corrugated curling iron gives a small basal volume, then the wave-shaped curling irons are quite a worthy alternative to the same curlers.

 

To unleash the full potential of the device, you should follow this instruction:

  1. Dry clean hair is well combed, divided into strands.
  2. Separately, each lock is squeezed between heated surfaces for 3 - 5 seconds.
  3. Unclench the tongs and lower down, covering the untreated part. We move from root to tip.

It is not worthwhile to retreat between the waves, at the end of one, the next should begin immediately.

 

Those who do not want to get a magnificent volume, you can start to wave the braids not from the roots, but from the level of the ear.

For owners of bangs

Even if the curls in length turned out to be enviable, the owners of the bangs still need to think about how to put it in harmony with the image. For this case, ironing is the best fit. It is universal and helps to curl hair in the direction we need. The first attempts to use may not succeed, you need to be prepared for this. Therefore, before a responsible event, it is worth two or three times to make a trial hairstyle just at home.

 

Having gained experience, you can learn to style your hair in such a way that it’s unrealistic to determine from the side whether a professional hairdresser-stylist has conjured you, or whether you yourself create your appearance at home.

 

Given the individual characteristics of the girl’s appearance, you can make the bangs more elongated - this will help visually lengthen the face. On the contrary, thick small curls will help to give roundness to the contours. The main thing is not to leave the bangs absolutely even.

Afro curls for medium hair

African cute curls came to us from a hot continent. For the most part, pigtails or dreadlocks began to weave the ancient tribes of Africa and Asia, but today this trend can often be found among the Slavs, Europeans and other peoples. Oddly enough, such an old technique is quite successfully used to create small curls.

 

To have playful curls in the morning, you need:

  1. Comb your hair well.
  2. With moistened hands, moisturize your hair.
  3. Divide the hair into identical strands. The more they will be, the smaller the curls will turn out.
  4. From each strand, braid the braid to the tip and secure with a small rubber band.
  5. Sprinkle a little with varnish for medium fixation hair.

 

Such a simple procedure will allow you to get a voluminous feminine hairstyle without much effort and cost. It is noteworthy that this styling resembles a salon waving. Therefore, those who are afraid to immediately go into drastic changes, you can conduct an experiment with afro-curls. This will help determine whether this hairstyle suits your type of appearance.

Simple and festive hairstyles

Hairstyles with curls for medium hair imply not only a loose style. On the basis of curls, you can create many evening and elegant bows.

 

The simplest and at the same time elegant option is a bundle. This hairstyle has gained popularity in the past few years due to its ease of implementation.

 

To obtain a gentle air beam, we follow this plan:

  1. We collect pre-wound hair with an elastic band in the tail. It should not be tight, but free.
  2. At the forehead we raise several strands, knocking them out of the common plane.
  3. We do the same thing on the back of the head.
  4. The hair from the tail is laid out in all directions, forming the likeness of a fountain.
  5. We put the second elastic band on top so that all the hair is under it.
  6. The remaining strands are randomly wrapped around the gulka and secured with invisibility.
  7. For greater elegance, you can use hair clips or jewelry with flowers.

 

But not only pragmatic styling is popular in our time. The usual “malvinki” made from curls also look quite fashionable. In this case, two strands of medium width are taken from the temples, from which braids are braided and fixed together on the back of the head. From these braids we slightly stretch the parts, giving the image carelessness.

 

Despite the eternal popularity of curls, they always look fresh and romantic. No matter how much one wants to come up with something more natural and feminine, nature has already done this for us.
