How to make light curls on long hair?

Even the most beautiful makeup, fashionable dress or expensive jewelry will not look spectacular if a woman's hair is in a deplorable state. That is why it is so important to pay special attention to your hairstyle.

Owners of long hair can afford a huge amount of styling. But light curls look especially impressive on luxurious strands. This hairstyle adds tenderness, femininity and romance to the image. There are various ways to create soft waves, so every girl can easily find a curling option to her liking.

First of all, you need to thoroughly wash your hair. After all, no perm will save the situation if your hair shines from a greasy sheen.

Then apply a nourishing mask, balm, or conditioner to the locks along the entire length for easy combing. You should not apply such a product to the root zone, as this will deprive the curls of volume and provoke premature hair contamination.

After washing, gently blot the strands with a towel, dry them a little and apply mousse or volume foam to the roots. Choose a product strictly according to your hair type. If the strands are thin and weakened, avoid too heavy products (waxes, gels). A small amount of a special product can be applied over the length of the hair to add shine or hold. Just do not apply too much of the product, otherwise your hair will look messy, unkempt and lacking volume.

Next, you need to dry your hair.Do this with a diffuser hair dryer on a gentle setting. If you plan to do curls without curling or ironing, then leave the strands slightly damp. Respectively, before using stylers, curls must be completely dry.

It is possible to single out traditional options for creating soft waves, without thermal effects, using improvised means. As well as more modern styling methods using special equipment. Let's analyze both methods in sequence.

This is the easiest and most affordable method for creating airy curls. After all, you do not need absolutely any special tools. Moreover, such styling does not damage the hair structure at all. Simply braid the slightly damp strands in 1, 2, or more braids. The thicker the braid, the larger the curls will be.

This is much more convenient: the hairstyle does not interfere with sleep at all, there is no need to count the hours, and in the morning you already get a ready-made gorgeous styling.

No less simple and effective styling option. Divide the loosened strands into 2 or 4 sections, make ponytails and secure with an elastic band. Then twist the hair into a tourniquet and secure it. If you want curls along the entire length, then the flagella should be located at the very top of the head. Otherwise, screw them up to the required height.

This method also does not require special tools, skills and a lot of time. But if your hair is very long, it will not be very comfortable to sleep.

For another option for creating curls from harnesses, see the next video.

Of course, these well-known devices cannot be ignored either. Curlers can be anything you like: large or small, thermal or regular, round or oblong.

Roll the slightly damp strands onto the curlers from the end, rising to the desired level. After all the strands are rolled up, you can give your hair a few hours to dry naturally and take on a new shape. Or you can dry your hair with a hairdryer, remove the curlers, comb your hair and fix the resulting styling with varnish.

Before winding it up with an iron, the hair must be thoroughly dried and treated with a special thermal protective agent. Set the temperature correctly on the device, do not make the surface too hot, otherwise you risk damaging your hair. For convenience, divide your hair into zones: first, separate several strands at the back of the head, collect the rest at the crown and secure with a hair clip. Comb your hair thoroughly, then gently grab a strand a couple of cm from the roots (do not start curling at the ends) and shape into a curl.

It is important not to put too much pressure on the device, otherwise ugly creases will remain on the curl. Twist all the hair in this way. Then gently beat the curls with your hands or comb with a wide-toothed comb, then apply the fixing varnish.

Creating curls with a curling iron practically does not differ from the previous method. However, in this case, curling should be started at the ends of the hair. Modern manufacturers offer a huge selection of modern and convenient equipment.

You can create a gentle romantic styling with a regular hair dryer and a couple of round combs. To do this, you must also divide the hair into sections. Take one strand, blow dry and roll onto a round brush. But do not rush to immediately remove the comb, and leave it while you repeat the same procedure with the second strand.Then remove the brush from the first curl and fix it with varnish.

After curling all the hair, gently beat the hair with your hands. Light curls look gorgeous on loose hair. But hairstyles with them will be no less beautiful. For example, a high or low ponytail, a sloppy bun, etc. Use the tips listed, don't be afraid to experiment with the look and be irresistible!
