The result is good messy curls that are known as "curls out of bed."

Ways to create light curls

Air curls are created in various ways.

Most often used:

• weaving braids or flagella;
• papillotes and soft spiral curlers;
• chemical or biowave.

Curlers, iron or curling iron

This is the most common option because it is relatively safe, economical, and easy to do at home.

Another advantage is that in case of failure, the hairstyle is easy to redo.

How to use curlers

All strands are wound on hot cylinders and kept on the head for at least half an hour. Then remove, slightly straighten the hairstyle and fix it with varnish.

How to use an iron

The iron used to be used only to straighten hair, and now it is used to create beautiful waves. To do this, the strand is wound on a pencil or finger and the resulting roller is fixed with invisibility. Then they process it with an iron - a simple tight squeeze, and the finished curl is fixed with varnish. The same is done with the rest of the hair.

Using a curling iron

Now on sale there are special curling irons for creating beautiful curls. They are easy to use. You just need to put a strand in the tool, close its handles, choose a suitable temperature regime and, after a beep, remove a beautiful curl from the curling iron.

The waves are smooth and neat, and the entire perm takes less than 10 minutes.

The procedure is usually performed at bedtime. The strands, washed and slightly dried with a towel, are braided or formed into small flagella, then they put on a cosmetic cap or kerchief and go to bed. In the morning, dry hair is loosened and "finalized" the hairstyle using standard styling products.

Papillotes and soft spiral curlers

These hairdressing tools are used on clean, damp hair. They are good in that they do not have a chemical or thermal effect on the strands, so you definitely should not worry about the possible harm.

Papillots

These are long foam rubber curlers that contain a metal rod inside. They allow you to form a curl of any shape and do not damage the hair structure, as it can be, for example, in the case of a curling iron.

Silicone spiral curlers

Not so long ago, to the delight of lovers of soft curls, new original and comfortable curlers appeared. They are silicone coils of different diameters. The set additionally includes a plastic hook with a long thin handle.

The principle of operation is as follows: the hook is threaded into a spiral, a thin strand is hooked with it and pulled into the cavity of the curler. Thus, they work out all the hair.
For the best effect, you can pre-treat the strands with mousse.

The use of spiral shaped silicone curlers produces crisp, graphic curls.

They can be varnished and, if desired, spread lightly with your fingertips.

Chemical or biowave

The advantage of both methods is the long-term effect- after any of these salon procedures, you won't have to worry about the daily morning styling ritual for the next few months.

Opinions about such a perm differ, and supporters of everything natural, still argue that even biowave can harm the hair. Another reason why a salon procedure is not available to every woman is its high price.

It's good that the cherished curls can be created at home.
