Curly curls for short hair: using invisibility

How to make curls at home with the help of invisibility and create natural free curls, tight curls should know every girl.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a vintage look:

• Before styling, wash your hair with shampoo in the usual way.
• The strands should be moist, but not wet, they should be dried with a towel.
• To curls last longer, apply a fixing substance after washing.
• After preparation, split the hair into even parts (3 or more).
• Fix the resulting parts with a crab or other hair clips.
• Separate a small strand in one part of the hair. The size depends on which curls you need in the end. For tight curls, the strands should be small, and for large flowing ones, more.
• For curls of the same size, the parts can be divided into smaller uniform parts and tied with a regular elastic for hair.
• Having picked up the tip, the strand needs to be wrapped 2-3 times around the index finger, and then carefully remove the curl, keeping the tip hidden inside. After carefully twist the strand to the roots.
• To fix the curl you will need 2 invisibility. They are fixed crosswise.
• Similar actions are done with every little strand all over the head. The strands that are in the upper part of the head should be twisted towards the back of the head from the face. All other curls can be twisted in any direction.
• After the curls are created all over the head, you need to let them dry. If there is quite a lot of hair, then it is best to do a perm at night. A silk pillowcase is good for sleeping, then the curls will not bloom.
• After drying, you can dissolve the strands. To do this, you need to carefully remove all the invisibility and give the desired shape to each curl.
• In order to keep the curls tighter, after unwinding all the curls, you can simply separate them a little with your fingers and comb them slightly. And if the hairstyle should be just wavy, then the curls can be carefully combed and fluffed.

Now you need to apply a small amount of serum or hair mousse to complete the image. The resulting curls can be left loose or stabbed.  The smaller the curls, the curls will be tighter. If necessary, you can use a larger number of invisibles, the main thing is that the curls hold well and do not untwist before drying.

The main rules:

• You need to create curls on wet hair, from dry hair you will not get the effect of curls.
• Thick hair will need more time for styling.
• To preserve the result for a long time, it is worth using styling products before fixing each curl.
• Before you give the hairstyle a final look, you need to make sure that all accessories are removed. Do not use hair clips to match your hair.
• If the perm is done at night, then you need to try not to sleep on your back so that your hair touches the pillow as little as possible.

Elastic band or bezel for a Greek hairstyle

To make curls and feel like a Greek goddess, it is not necessary to wait for a special occasion and go to a beauty salon. The image can be created at home. A hairstyle with an elastic band gives the girl a special femininity and elegance.

There are several types of headbands or elastic bands for styling in the Greek style, so before buying you need to clearly understand for what event the styling will be created. For an evening look, a beautiful, decorated gum will be appropriate, and for the daily styling, the simplest one will do. The bezel is very simple to use: you just need to put it on your hair.

The styling is created by one of 3 possible options:

1. The hair remains free, i.e. the elastic is just an accessory.
2. The strands located on the side are tucked under the rim, and most of the hairstyle remains loose.
3. All curls are wrapped under an elastic band. This is the classic and most common version of the Greek hairstyle.

If styling is required for a haircut with a bang, then the bezel is also suitable. Here’s what you can do: the headband is worn so that the bangs are under it, and the rest of the hair is twisted under the bandage with hairpins. Then the whole hairstyle is fixed with hairpins.

Bagel or Bezel

Using a donut, you can make a hairstyle no worse than using a curling iron.

Consider one of the ways:

• Collect hair in a ponytail, spray with water and twist on a bagel.
• To create the desired bundle, hair is collected from the tip to the roots.
• You can go with such a hairstyle all day, and for an evening out already dissolve. Large curls are ready.

To create a hairstyle with a rim, the manipulations with the hair will be similar. The only thing – you do not need to collect a high tail, just twist the hair under the rim.

So that the styling does not disappoint, there are some points to consider:

• If the haircut is short, it will be quite difficult to achieve large curls, but curls and light waves will not be difficult. To do this, you will additionally have to use mousse or hair spray in a small amount.
• If suddenly the curls lose their shape during the day, then you just need to collect the hair into a bun for a while and dissolve it again. To make the styling look more natural, you can use a comb for body waves.
• To create large curls on the hair, it is more authentic to do without styling means. Curls must be fixed so that they simply do not develop from their own weight.

Whatever method of styling curls at home is chosen, the main thing is to recall the health of the hair.

Large curls on medium hair: newspaper papillots

Paper wraps are an excellent safe alternative to hot styling. This method is available to absolutely any girl and does not require material costs. Waving can be done at night, which is even more convenient.

• Paper. Sheets need to be cut into strips of 3’1 x 5’9 inch.
• Cotton fabric or bandage. Prepare strips 3’1 x 7’9 inch.
  

On finished pieces of cloth, put rectangular pieces of paper and wrap them in a tourniquet so that it remains in the middle of a piece of cloth or bandage. The number of papillots depends on the thickness of the hair and on which curls you want to get. The more magnificent – the more. For beautiful curls, the hair needs to be washed and dried. They should not be wet or completely dry.
