What can look more feminine and romantic than beautifully styled locks of curled hair? Such a hairstyle will always be relevant, because its versatility allows you to create various variations for both everyday life and for special occasions. Today we will tell you how to make curls on medium hair, using a minimum of styling tools and free time for this.

Classic styling options

Classic curls made using a normal curling iron are appropriate for any event, whether it is a birthday or an ordinary trip to the cinema. The arsenal of almost any modern woman has this thermal device.

It is enough to adhere to some basic rules so that the created styling for medium-length hair is as natural and beautiful as possible:

  1. Perm is done exclusively on washed and completely dried hair. Do not curl even slightly damp locks. Such manipulation will only lead to trauma to the structure of the hair rods.
  2. After pre-washing your hair, do not resort to blow-drying. Alternate use of the hair dryer first, and then the curling iron, will negatively affect the condition of your hair.
  3. Before laying with a hot appliance, be sure to treat the strands with special thermal protection, which will protect the curls from dryness and a further section.

The process of creating classic curls consists of the following steps:

  1. To begin, divide the well-dried and combed hair into upper and lower parts. Fix the top of the hair at the crown with any convenient hair clip so that it does not bother you.
  2. Next, separate a small strand of medium thickness from the bottom. For convenience, it is recommended to start styling with hair located on the back of the head.
  3. The separated strand is wound on a heated device, starting from the tip and ending with its base.Important! To avoid burns, stop wrapping hair at a distance of 4 - 5 cm from their roots. Keep the curling iron perpendicular to the workpiece and do not curl it longer than the prescribed 15 seconds.
  4. As soon as the entire lower part is curled, proceed to styling the hair in the crown area. The strands curl in a similar way. At the end, sprinkle the finished hairstyle with a small amount of varnish.

Hairstyles with large curls

Large curls are especially suitable for owners of not too dense heaps. This styling adds an additional visual volume that girls with very thin hair need so much. If hot appliances in this case only worsen the condition of the strands, then conventional, time-tested curlers will become an indispensable alternative.

 

We advise you to give preference to papillots or velcro curlers. However, the latter option should not be used if you are going to sleep with curls wound around curlers. Firstly, falling asleep with Velcro curlers on the head is very inconvenient, and secondly, such products can confuse strands.

Step-by-step winding technique:

  1. Slightly washed, slightly damp hair should be treated with foam and gently comb.
  2. In the case of curlers, it is necessary to start curling with the hair on the top of the head. Choose not too thick strands to fix them as best as possible. In this case, the curl is twisted with Velcro from the ends of the hair to its very base.
  3. Next, the occipital and temporal parts are treated. To create a lush styling, it is necessary to twist the locks away from the face. Curlers are left on the head until the curls completely dry.

Soft waves on medium length hair

Light curls with deliberately created negligence are still very popular. Such a natural styling will appeal to all those who do not like to bother too long with the creation of everyday hairstyles.

We bring to your attention three simple ways of soft curling:

  • Method number 1. This method involves the use of a diffuser. A little styling is applied to slightly damp hair, after which the processed locks are gently wrinkled with your hands, creating the effect of slight negligence. Next, the resulting waves are dried with a conventional hairdryer with a diffuser nozzle.
  • Method number 2. The entire shock is divided into several equal parts. Next, the wet strands are twisted into bundles and treated with a hairdryer until they dry completely. Beat the finished styling with your hands, and then fix the curls with a small amount of varnish.
  • Method number 3. To create this hairstyle you need an iron. Small strands are curled with forceps so that the device is perpendicular to the head. The strand is captured almost at its very base, then the styler is turned away from the face and in this position they are ironed down a few centimeters. Next, the device is turned in the opposite direction and the rest of the curl is processed. The strands curled in this way are sprayed with varnish at the final stage.

How to style your hair in Hollywood curls

To create a safe styling in the Hollywood style, you will need ordinary papillots, onto which slightly moist strands are twisted. The volume and final appearance of the hairstyle depends on the diameter of the auxiliary products for curling.

The larger the diameter of the papillots will be, the more voluminous and lush will result in a finished styling.

The procedure for curling is not particularly difficult. It is only necessary to wash your hair in advance and leave your hair to dry naturally. As soon as the strands are slightly dry, you should carefully comb the hair with a comb with small teeth. Next, small strands are wound on prepared papillots in any convenient way.

The convenience of papillots, in comparison with ordinary curlers, lies in the fact that such products do not bring uncomfortable sensations during sleep. In addition, they are very easy to remove and do not have any detrimental effect on the structure of healthy hair. In the morning, the curlers unwind, and the finished styling is sprayed with varnish to better fix the curls.
