Never do a perm on dirty hair.
Wet hair can burn.
Styling products should not be applied before curling - they will stick to the curling iron.

To keep the perm for a long time, I fix it with varnish

Tip: Do not neglect thermal protection. No matter how the manufacturer convinces of the safety of styling devices, no matter how he praises new types of coatings, heating still negatively affects the health of the hair.

You can learn how to wind your hair yourself by watching a video lesson and a photo. From the first time, the hairstyle will not turn out quite the way you want. Using irons or curling irons requires some skill and skill.

How to make voluminous curls with curlers

Tongs and irons allow you to get large curls quickly, but their regular use negatively affects the condition of the hair. If you have time, then you can make voluminous curls at home with the help of curlers. They belong to the most gentle way and allow you to get curls of different diameters. Velcro, boomerangs or thermo curlers are suitable for voluminous curls.

Velcro curlers allow you to get amazing voluminous curls

My secrets to using Velcro curlers:

1. To keep the curled strands for a long time, I wind it on wet hair.
2. Before winding, lightly cover the strands with styling foam.
3. To get lush waves, I don’t use foam.
4. In order not to unwind, I fix them with invisibility.

So master class

Boomerangs are very comfortable to use, soft and do not interfere with sleep at night. For voluminous curls, large diameter boomerangs are required

My secrets for using boomerangs:

Before winding the strands, I spray it with water.
Before twisting, I cover my hair with foam.
So that at night the boomerangs do not unwind and individual strands do not break out, I tie a scarf.

Thermo - curlers allow you to reduce the winding time. The technique of use is quite simple. They heat up and strands are wound onto warm strands. Applicable to both long and short hair. Curls made with such curlers hold well and can be used as a basis for wedding and evening hairstyles.

My secrets of using thermal curlers:

I only wind dry.
I use thermal protection.
I twist the back of the head, then symmetrically the sides.
The longer I hold the curlers, the tighter the curls get.

Tip: Do not use curlers on bob or short haircuts. Such styling is immediately noticeable, it grabs a basal volume and the whole thing looks tasteless. For bob and short haircuts, it is better to use a hair dryer, tongs. You can do a perm.

Using curlers is very easy. If the strand is twisted incorrectly, then you can always fix it. Depending on the type of curler, you can get a variety of curls: voluminous, hard, lush, careless or elastic spirals.

How to make soft curls with a hair dryer

These are obtained as here in the photo

The hair dryer can perform 2 functions at the same time: dry the hair and make soft curls. Moreover, curls can be obtained both with an ordinary hair dryer and with a hair dryer with a diffuser nozzle. To make your own styling beautiful, you may have to practice a couple of times.

How to do it with a hair dryer?

My secrets for making soft curls with a hair dryer:

I lightly dry my hair with a towel.
I apply foam or gel or mousse.
I lift the strands from the roots and wind them on a round brush (brushing).
Dry with a hairdryer, in the direction from the roots to the ends of each strand.
Brashing slowly scroll.

After styling, I fix the hair with my hands and fix it with varnish

Tip: never use strong hold hairspray for soft and airy hairstyles. The curls will be heavy, unnatural, and the top of the head will be flat.
You can get acquainted with the technique of creating curls from a photo or video.

A diffuser hair dryer allows you to get light and natural curls. The diffuser nozzle acts more loyally on the hair, as it diffuses hot air. During the styling process, the scalp is massaged, which has a beneficial effect on hair growth. Another great function of the diffuser is to create a persistent volume without using a pile.

My secrets for working with a diffuser:

Under the diffuser for styling, I use mousse or gel spray.
I use a diffuser to dry my hair from the ends to the roots.
To get more volume, I tilt my head down.
I don't brush my hair after drying.

A good effect is achieved if the hair is slightly curly, heavy straight hair may not be curled. The diffuser is a wonderful device that, in addition to curling, can be used as a straightener.

How to make spiral curls

Beautiful spiral curls will help you make a hairstyle in a retro style. Vertical curls are made in several ways: with special curlers, with a curling iron, or better with a styler.
Special curlers have a spiral groove. They come in different diameters, the shorter the hair, the thinner it should be.

Girls, let's do it!

My secrets for working with spiral curlers:

Hair must be damp.
Each new turn must be placed in a separate groove.
I do not use a comb, I straighten my hair with my hands.

It is quite difficult to wind your hair on your own; to familiarize yourself with the technique, you can see photos and videos. You can also use ordinary curlers for spirals, for example, thermo, then each new coil should cover the previous one by a third.

Spirals can be made with tongs. For this, a regular curling iron or styler with nozzles is suitable. I have already described the features of curling hair with tongs; to obtain vertical spirals, the strands are wound accordingly.

The styler with nozzles may have a cone nozzle or a nozzle with grooves. Tapered allows the spirals to be more natural, thicker at the roots and thinner at the tips. The grooved nozzle is indispensable for retro hairstyles. Such curls have the same size along the entire length. These things allow you to save a lot of time when doing wedding and retro hairstyles. I also made spirals for a little girl for a matinee with such a nozzle, covered it with shiny varnish on top. The curls turned out charming and fabulous, and the girl looked like a doll.

Separately, it is worth telling about my new acquisition - the BaByliss styler. I have been looking at it for a long time, but I doubted whether to take it or not. Now I can say with confidence: yes, it is worth the money. For those who don't know, BaByliss is a versatile curling machine, has adjustable heat settings and is super easy to use. You need to put the strand in a special hole and that's it! BaByliss gently winds the hair and warms up. For the first time, it took 30 minutes to style my hair (and it is quite thick and long below the shoulder blades), now 20 is enough.

It is difficult to describe the process of working with BaByliss in words, it must be seen. On the network you can find a lot of information, photos and videos.

I think this is best shown here:

The disadvantage of BaByliss is the cost. Also for the first time, due to lack of skill, I said goodbye to a few hairs, now I can cope without loss. BaByliss is a thing, especially for professionals.

How to make natural curls

To add naturalness to the hairstyle, I have my own tricks:

You can wind the strands on curlers of different diameters. The strands will look more natural.
After winding, I grease my hands with a drop of hair gel and comb it with my fingers.
If you want lush hair, then I go through the curls with a massage brush.
Naturalness can be achieved by using foam rubber papilots. By winding thick strands on them, curls are obtained as natural as possible.
You can do a perm on the entire length. It is important to choose a good specialist who will make a quality perm, and the hairstyle will look natural, and unlike the fleece of a lamb.

To choose this or that hairstyle for yourself, you must first determine your type of face.

To do this, you can take a marker (or something else) and circle the reflection of your face in the mirror with it, after removing the hair behind the ears. Next, look at the resulting image and set the type of your face.

Hairstyle should be done only on clean hair. This will preserve the natural volume and beautiful appearance of the hair.

Before using a hair dryer, curling iron, ironing, it is imperative to apply a heat protectant. It will create a thin film on the hair that will protect them from the negative effects of temperature. Mousse or other styling agent is needed when varnish is not used. They give the hairstyle more mobility and naturalness.

In pursuit of fresh ideas, modern stylists often come up with unusual and very effective solutions.

One of these innovations can be called zigzag curls (zigzag curls, square curls), which look quite original, differ from classic curls and can become the highlight of the image.

It’s not too difficult even for a beginner to make such styling, besides, you can use just a few strands to create a stylish look.

How to make zigzag curls

Square curls are a trend that can transform any hairstyle. Such wavy hair can be both with very large and natural curls, and with small, reminiscent of corrugation. How to wind curls to get stylish zigzag curls? There are several effective ways to do this.

Curling curls is very simple and fast with the help of a special double curling iron. In this case, the strand is simply placed between two rollers, resulting in a zigzag wave.

Wash your hair first, and then be sure to moisturize your hair with a balm or mask.
Dry your hair with a towel, and then apply thermal protection spray or mousse to the strands.
Blow dry your hair until completely dry.
Comb your hair and divide it into individual strands of medium width.
Take each in turn, starting from the bottom of the hair, place the hair in a double curling iron.
Hold the strand like this for about 15 seconds.
Repeat with the rest of the curls, and then sprinkle with varnish.

If you want to curl all your hair and you have it long enough, then after curling the bottom of the strand, lift the curling iron up and hold it on the middle, and then at the root zone. However, it is better for happy owners of a long mop to make zigzags in the lower part of their hair, because the result is an ideal lush and interesting styling. It is also best to use large curls for long hair, then zigzag waves look the most natural, but at the same time spectacular.

It will work out well if you curl only individual strands. To do this, use the scheme described above. In this case, zigzags on straight hair are most striking, becoming a kind of highlight of the image.

Using this method, you can also create a full-fledged evening hairstyle: curl the lower part of your hair, making large zigzag curls on them, but curl the strands near your face completely, almost from the roots. Gather the back of the hair into a high hairstyle, secure with a beautiful hairpin and sprinkle with varnish. Leave a few curly locks near the face and behind the ears.

We twist small zigzag curls

If you are lucky and you have an iron with a corrugated nozzle at home, then getting small zigzag curls will be as easy as shelling pears. Dry, clean hair is sorted into small strands, after which a heat-protective spray is applied to each. Place the strand inside the iron, press it and hold for 5-10 seconds so that it acquires a wavy structure. After that, repeat the procedure on the rest of your hair if you want to curl all your hair in zigzags, starting from the roots.

If you do not have enough hair volume, then a great way out is to use small zigzag curls. In this case, the hair begins to curl from the very roots of the hair. Curly hair is always unusual and diversifies your everyday style, especially if you naturally have straight hair.

If your hair does not differ in complaisance, and the curls stubbornly do not want to keep their shape, then a special corrugated curling iron is exactly what you need. Before using it, it is better to apply a texturizing hair paste to the strands, which will make the mop more pliable, while maintaining the shape of zigzag curls. Also remember that the smaller the curls, the longer they keep their shape, and therefore for smooth unruly hair it is better to use the smallest zigzag curls.

How to get curls in the form of fashionable zigzags if there is no special device in the house, but only an ordinary hair straightener? In this case, one trick, described below, will come in handy. With its help, you can get curls of various sizes, here everything will depend on your preferences. All you need is foil and a working iron.

Curly hair can be easily obtained by dividing dry hair into separate small strands, and then wrap each of them in a sheet of foil.

Securely wrap your hair in it, and then fold it like an accordion, bending the curl and laying a new fold on top.
You will end up with a square of foil - this is the future curl in the form of a zigzag.
To get small curls, take smaller strands and fold more often. For large curls, 4-5 folds of a sheet of foil with a strand inside it are enough.
Then place this piece of foil on the flat iron, pressing it down firmly and leaving it there for a couple of seconds.
After that, iron the square again, first from the bottom up, and then vice versa.
Again, press the square with the strand inside for 5-7 seconds.
Remove the foil and spray the resulting unusual curl with hairspray.
Repeat the process with the remaining strands.

Since this method can damage the hair and disrupt its healthy shine, be sure to treat it with a heat protectant before wrapping the strands in foil. Also, resorting to this styling method is not recommended too often, because you can injure your hair.

If you are going to get out into the world or just want to build a fashionable and new hairstyle on your head, then such curls will come to your rescue. On their basis, you can create anything - from especially lush high tails to evening hairstyles.

If you are a lover of ponytails and just often make tails on top of your head, then first try curling your hair with a small corrugation, starting from the roots. Then comb your hair back, collect it in the usual ponytail. Due to the small zigzag curls, the styling will be more magnificent than usual, and the unusual texture of the hair will add novelty to it.

Do you like the game of contrasts and unusual solutions? Then try curling small zigzags, starting from the temples, and leave the root part of the hair even and smooth. In the transition zone from straight hair to curls, you can add hairpins, a headband or a ribbon with a bow - it will turn out stylish and playful in a youthful way.

If you are an adherent of classic elegance and real chic, then use the method described above to make large zigzag curls using an iron and foil. Also, this hairstyle is perfect for a celebration or a formal event, and doing it is very simple and fast. Make a parting on one side, then build large squares from strands and foil. Remove the foil, treat your hair with a hold hairspray and oil the ends to make your curls look luxurious and radiant.

Curly hair is great for creating high hairstyles. You can simply gather large zigzag curls into a voluminous bundle, releasing a few strands on the sides. But with small corrugations, you can easily create even a hairstyle for girls - for this, each strand is passed through a special curling iron, and then collected into two lush tails or even left just like that, fixed with hairpins on the sides.
