Spinning hair into curlers or curling irons are the usual, but far from the only ways to make curls. A hair straightener is not only perfect for this work, but also copes with more complex hairstyles that are beyond the power of traditional means. It’s not difficult to understand how to make curls ironing – our simple step-by-step tips with photos and videos will reveal all the secrets. A little patience, practice – and in 10-15 minutes you can create a fashionable hairstyle for any occasion.

How to make beautiful curls with an iron (step by step photo)

To create curls, in addition to ironing, you will need:

  • thermal protective agent (any suitable for your hair type);
  • comb brush for preliminary combing;
  • a comb with thin teeth to separate the locks and parting;
  • hairpin-crab or elastic;
  • Invisibility
  • food foil (for “beach” curling);
  • nail polish or spray for fixing hairstyles.

Curling iron

To perform a curl effectively, adhere to the following rules:

  • Before curling, you need to wash your hair, dry it, comb it well.
  • Thermal protection must be applied at least 10-15 minutes before installation, so that the product has time to absorb.
  • Of great importance is the temperature of the operating mode of the iron. Thin, dry, damaged hair is not recommended to twist in a mode above 150 degrees.
  • Do not hold the rectifier for more than 20 seconds on one strand, otherwise the result will be disastrous.

Large curls from hair roots

Large curls have a weak shape (especially on long and thick hair), so a good fixation is necessary for such a hairstyle. It is advisable to apply a modeling agent (gel, foam or mousse) 1-2 hours before the procedure (only not too much).

You can make large curls from the roots with two techniques.

First way:

How to curl iron with large curls from the roots

  1. Separate the strand of the desired width (the wider, the larger the curl).
  2. Twist around the finger all the way to the roots.
  3. Pull out a finger, give the lock a ring shape. Lock the ends of the strand with your fingers.
  4. Clamp the strand with a straightener for a few seconds..
  5. Gently dissolve the resulting curl.
  6. Fix with varnish. Twist all the strands in this way.
  7. Carefully separate the curls, passing them between the fingers (do not use a comb).
  8. Beat the hair slightly with your hands for best volume..

The second way:

This method is simpler and faster. You need to select a strand, hold it with a straightener at the roots, wind it 1 turn (or hold a lock and turn the device 180 degrees from yourself) and slowly stretch the iron to the ends. Letting go of the finished curl, give it a spiral shape and fix it with varnish.

After the curling procedure, use hair oil for additional nutrition and shine: rub a small amount on the palms and squeeze the curls without breaking their shape. In conclusion, lower your head down, slightly beat the hair, spraying with fixing agent.

Hollywood Curls on Face

In this hairstyle, the curls do not start from the roots, but a little lower. To give volume, it is necessary to wrap the back of the head in front of the wraparound or to raise the hair in the basal area using a round brush-brush and hair dryer.

The technique is carried out in 2 stages..

How to curl Hollywood curls with an iron

Gather the upper part of the hair (from the forehead to the crown) and fix it on the back of the head. Only the lower and back strands should remain free..

  1. Choose a lock, hold it with an iron, slightly stepping back from the roots (by 2-3 fingers).
  2. Without opening, turn the appliance away from you.
  3. Slowly smoothly pull the iron to the ends.
  4. Get a light curl. All strands need to be wound in one direction (from the face – a more popular option, but vice versa is also not bad).

Twisting the lower and back strands, dissolve the hair that has been pinned up, parting (in the middle or side).

  1. Start wrapping the same technique, moving from the back of the head to the face. The strands may be different in size..
  2. Try to pull the iron evenly and not too hard so as not to burn your hair.
  3. The last frontal strands are wound.
  4. Without combing, fix the hairstyle with varnish. Then separate with your fingers.

Please note: among Hollywood stars, curls with a parting strictly in the middle or strongly beveled to one side are popular.

Light curls with foil

This technology is suitable if you want to create light, elastic and structural curls. In addition to the above funds, you will need a foil (usual for food products). Hair should be clean and dry before the procedure..

  • Take a strand with a finger thick.
  • Depart from the roots by 3-4 cm and begin to wind perpendicularly to the head a strand of 3 connected fingers from the base to the tips.
  • Twisting to the end, carefully remove the lock from your fingers, holding the tips.
  • You should get an even ring of hair.

Hair ring

  • Put a strand on a sheet of foil.
  • Fold the sheet in half, holding the ring of hair.
  • Carefully bend the edges on all sides, making sure that the strand retains its position.
  • You should get a “cake” of foil with a ring of hair inside.

Twisting the foil around the ringlet

  • Pinch the foil on different sides with an iron until it becomes hot (10-15 seconds).
  • Repeat the technique for all curls. Do not remove foil until it cools completely..
  • Gently spin the lock.
  • If you need a long-term effect of curling, fix each strand separately with varnish.

How to curl hair by twisting it into a braid

This version of the curl is also called “beach”. The curl does not have a clear shape and looks like a wave, it creates the impression of slight negligence in the image.

  • Dry your hair until semi-moist. Apply a protective agent over the entire length. If you use a small amount of foam for styling, this will create the effect of wet hair.
  • Divide the hair into two halves. Divide each half into 2 or 4 parts (the pain of thick hair, the more strands).
  • Spin each strand away from you (the strands should be twisted in one direction).

Tourniquet from hair

  • Connect both twisted locks into a tourniquet and scroll again in the same direction.
  • Slowly iron the strand with the straightener from top to bottom. The harness should be slightly taut..
  • Do not curl the ends (last 1-2 cm). Firstly, it’s unfashionable, and secondly, so you will protect them from cross-section and brittleness.

How to do a beach curl

  • Gently move the strand from top to bottom.
  • Try to keep the curl structure and curling direction. Do not use a comb to maintain the shape of the hairstyle..
  • Fix the curls with a special tool and proceed to curling the second half of the hair. It is not recommended to take extra and strong fixation varnish, as it will make the hair heavier.

Fixing curls with varnish

  • To give your hair a natural sloppiness, shake your head lightly 1-2 times.

How to wind long hair?

Long hair requires a special approach. To keep the curl in shape for maximum time, wind it correctly:

  • curl and remove locks, holding the device vertically;
  • do not dissolve the finished curl right away – give it the shape of a ring and fix it with an invisibility until the end of the procedure;
  • always start to curl from the back of the head, moving to the face;
  • do not save on a thermal protective agent – it will be more expensive to treat dry and damaged by hot procedures hair.

Long curled curls

Medium

Midi length holds curls of different sizes and shapes well – large curls-waves, small curls, vertical curl, basal volume. A combination of a pile on the back of the head with light sloppy curls looks good. For owners of medium hair, a straight long bangs in combination with wavy strands are ideal.

Short

Short strands require less effort than long curls, but in order to properly wind them, you should adhere to the following recommendations:

  • while curling, keep the straightener parallel to the head;
  • on short hair, small curls look especially attractive – for this, grab a strand for curling thinner;
  • do not give the tips a spiral shape – this can burn them, and it looks old-fashioned in contrast to long hair.

      Certainly! Here’s a step-by-step guide to using a curling iron effectively:

      1. Start by plugging in your curling iron and setting it to the desired heat level, considering your hair type (lower heat for fine hair, higher heat for thick hair).
      2. Brush your hair to remove any tangles and apply a heat protectant spray to minimize damage.
      3. Divide your hair into sections, securing the rest with clips. Thinner sections give more defined curls, while thicker sections give loose waves.
      4. Take a section of hair and hold the curling iron vertically, close to the roots.
      5. Wrap the hair around the curling iron barrel, away from your face. Be sure to leave the ends out for a more modern look.
      6. Hold the hair on the barrel for 5-10 seconds depending on your hair thickness and desired curl intensity.
      7. Gently release the hair from the curling iron and let the curl cool before touching it.
      8. Repeat steps 4-7 for all sections of hair, working your way from the bottom to the top.
      9. After curling all sections, allow the curls to cool completely.
      10. Once cooled, use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to gently separate and loosen the curls for a more natural look.
      11. Finish the style with a light hairspray to hold the curls throughout the day.

      Some additional tips include practicing with different curling iron barrel sizes for various curl types, curling away from your face for a more flattering look, and using a higher heat setting for stubborn hair. Understanding your hair type and experimenting with various techniques will help you achieve beautiful curls!
