Ripple is a curl, curled with a curling iron in a special way, from small to large waves. Several strands and all hair styled in this way look equally impressive. This is ideal for owners of straight curls who dream of curls, but do not want to resort to perm. The ripple effect lasts up to several days, giving incredible volume to the hairstyle.

Hair curling can be done using classic braiding and a special curling iron. Pigtails, familiar to most girls from childhood as a method of curling, are a rather gentle option for curls, however, it takes a lot of time both for braiding and for the reverse process. With the help of a styler curling iron, you can create a wave 2 times faster, and of different sizes.

Depending on the parameters of the nozzle, the following types of corrugation are distinguished.

• Small, allowing you to give a significant splendor to the hairstyle. Perfect for creating root volume as an analogue of bouffant. Looks spectacular on individual strands and on the whole hairstyle. Owners of short strands are not recommended to make a small ripple over the entire surface, so as not to get excessive and not always appropriate splendor of the hair.

• Medium is a real "golden mean", suitable for hair of any length. In tandem with a larger or smaller wave, it can create interesting accents in a hairstyle.

• Coarse - ideal for medium hair. On long hair, a large wave is easily smoothed out under weight (without additional fixation), and on short strands, it can ugly puff out to the sides.

The corrugation effect looks good on loose hair, its elements are used to create a variety of hairstyles. This styling has enough advantages:

• it does not electrify hair and does not need a lot of styling products;
• a safe analogue of curling lasts a long time;
• looks good on hair of any length;
• the hairstyle becomes much more voluminous;
• available to create with your own hands at home and even outside the usual conditions.

There are few disadvantages, among them:

• time consuming;
• regular styling with a curling iron can significantly spoil the condition of the hair if you do not use thermal protection;
• corrugation with braids creates an uneven effect - the roots and ends remain straight, and excessively tight braiding can lead to the pulling of the hair follicles.

To create corrugations of any size it is better to use a styler curling iron. At the same time, you should have a sufficient amount of time (at least 2 hours) and do not use the device more than once a week, so as not to damage your hair by exposure to high temperatures.

The choice of a curling iron with a corrugated surface should be taken seriously, since the quality of styling and the degree of thermal effect on the hair directly depend on it. The modern assortment of such devices is very large. To begin with, there are multifunctional stylers that can both straighten and curl your hair. They are more appropriate in beauty salons, they are also suitable for those girls who regularly create a new image, not sparing their hair. If you are not an adherent of overpaying for unnecessary features, look for a mono device to create waves.

What to look for when choosing.

• Different types of pouches... To create small waves and volume at the roots, pay attention to stylers with a working surface up to 2 cm. This option is suitable for girls with thin hair. The average size of the working surface (up to 3.5 cm) is the most versatile: it will cope with both the root volume and the creation of waves over the entire surface. A large size (from 4 cm) will create the desired large corrugation, but the volume at the roots will not.

• Dimensions. If you often have to do styling outside the house, a compact curling iron will come to the rescue. It comes with a cover for easy transportation. If you plan to use the device exclusively at home, choose a full-size curling iron.

• Working surface coating material. The most gentle material is ceramics. Plates made of this material quickly heat up to the required level, retain heat for longer and have a gentle effect on the hair. The cost of such curls is the highest, however, it is better to pay once for the quality of the product than to restore damaged curls later.

• Temperature control. To maintain the health of the strands during frequent use of the curling iron, choose a device with switching modes to select the optimal temperature.For thick and hard curls, heating up to 230 C will be required, for thinner and weaker ones - up to 180 C.

• The presence of additional functions and attachments. The standard economy-class curling iron does not have removable parts. A higher class of devices is equipped with additional attachments to create waves of various sizes.

• Cord size. The longer the wire, the easier it is to use the device in any room. You do not depend on the location of the outlets and the mirror in front of which you are styling.

• Price. You have to pay for quality, so curling irons from well-known, proven brands are not cheap. You can purchase an economy option if you do not intend to regularly curl waves on your head.
