It would seem that everyone is used to the fact that the iron is designed to straighten hair, but the most talented hairdressers come up with new technologies every day. And today, many, instead of curling irons, twist curls using ordinary straighteners.
Curl preparation
Before you start wrapping hair with an iron or tongs (it doesn’t matter!), You need to prepare: you need the right tools and special hair products.
Let's start with the main thing - ironing. To get beautiful and neat curls, the iron should be narrow or medium width. Old with wide plates (3 cm or more) will not work. It is best to use an iron such as TYME Iron, as it has a rounded shape, which facilitates the process of creating a hairstyle.
It is also necessary to prepare the hair itself. Pre-worth it to give them shape with a hairdryer (but do not pull it!). Do not forget to apply thermal protection, since hot tools in any case destroy the structure of the hair.
After laying, use varnish to fix the result, but without a sticky effect. Dry varnish from Sis or Schwarzkopf.
The main ways to curl hair with an iron
There are many ways how to make curls with the help of an iron, therefore we will consider each separately. The main thing is to initially divide the hair into several parts: a vertical parting from the nose to the crown, then from the crown to the ear. These are two areas in which you need to twist strands from the face.
Divide the back of the hair with horizontal partings. Remember: the thinner the strand, the more accurate the curls will be. Yes, and curls hold better if you twist small strands.
The classic way of wrapping
This option allows you to get curls in a shape similar to those obtained using special curling irons. True, many beginners cannot make such a hairstyle for themselves, since they find it difficult, but try it.
So, select a small strand (thickness 1 cm, width 3-4 cm), insert it between the plates of the iron and connect them. Now you need to make a full revolution of the irons (360 degrees), and then slide down the hair through the hair. The nose of the hair styling tool itself is better to point down, and not to hold it horizontally, so the curls will be more beautiful and natural.
Wrapping harnesses
The second way to create curls with an iron is simpler. Select a strand, light it with a tourniquet and walk on it with a hot iron. The result is the effect of beach waves.
This hairstyle is perfect for summer holidays on the beach. It can be supplemented with small pigtails at the temples.
Using pigtails
Now many have a fashionable iron-three, with which you can make curls, like Buzovoy. Although there is an easier option to achieve the desired result.
Divide the hair into zones and weave small braids. Then we go through each pigtail with a hot iron and weave them.
This option is especially good for those with thin hair, as it will turn out to increase the volume several times.Yes, and now it’s fashionable to walk with curls, as after braids. All participants of the television project "Dom-2" are.
We use foil
If it seems that the iron is too aggressive on the hair, adopt a foil wrapping method.
Again, divide the hair into strands, then twist each of them into a ringlet. Wrap them with foil and press them with an iron. Then dissolve and fix with varnish.
Hollywood waves
To make yourself Hollywood waves, you must use the first method of wrapping, but still have a lot of metal clips.
Hold the iron horizontally and hold a lock of hair in the center. Make a full revolution of the tool around its axis and run it along its entire length. Grab a lock and wrap it around your finger while it’s hot. Remove from the finger and fix with a metal clip. The curl should cool, being in this position.
After you wind the entire head of hair, remove the hair clips and comb the curls with a comb with large teeth. Then fix the waves with clamps again and spray with varnish.
