Today, there are many ways to curl your hair into curls. Curlers are made from different materials... Spiral curls are created to curl vertical curls. At first they were made from paper and fabric, then they used wooden material, now there are electrical options. Let's look at how to use this curling method and how to choose spirals.

Features of the choice of spiral curlers

They are used to create both formal and everyday hairstyles. With the help of spirals, you can make small and large curls.

Classic spiral curlers are wooden sticks with a cut-out pattern in a spiral. In order to get a spring from the hair, you need to attach a wooden stick to the root of a thin strand and wind it in a spiral. The thickness of the curl depends on the size of the spiral. When you want to do a lush hairstyle, you should take small curlers, and if you want your hairstyle to look as natural as possible, you should choose large curlers.

When choosing, consider the following:

• Depending on the length of the hair, you should choose the length of the curler: the longer the hair, the bigger size spirals in centimeters.
• For small curls, use spirals 1-2 cm, and for large ones - from 5 cm.
• The number of curlers in a set may vary.

Spiral curlers are soft and hard. Soft ones are elastic bands, tapered at the end, a hook is attached to these. Solid ones are made from plastic, metal and wood. Hard spirals take time and skill to use.

Varieties and rules of use

Different types of curlers have different ways hair curling.

Crochet curlers

This type has become very popular, because thanks to it, you can wind up chic, beautiful curls. They are a rubberized tape that is twisted into a spiral. They are very easy to use. It is enough to wet hair or apply foam to it during use. They should not be too wet, but there should be no dry glimpses. Take a small section of hair and wind it on a spiral. Pass the hook inside the spiral, grab the strand and pull it through the spiral.

The peculiarity of crochet curlers is that they fix curls without clips; they are also called tape. This kind of spirals is very soft, you can even sleep with them. Having done such manipulations with all the strands, you can dry your hair with a hairdryer or let it dry yourself. Your curls will take on a spiral look.

Magic curls

This option can also be used at night, they are very soft and comfortable. This type of curling is unusual, because you need to twist the strands not vertically, but in a small roll. This kind of look allows you to make your curls more pronounced and sharp. You can order goods in China, you just have to choose the number of ribbons. They are also suitable for short hair.

Wooden spiral and plastic

As a rule, they are used for perm, but they are also used very often for everyday hairstyling, but you cannot wind them up without outside help, and it is very inconvenient to sleep with them. They are popularly called bobbins. The curls made by them are very small and last for a long time. The principle is the same: you apply the fixative to the curls, take a small strand and wind it on a spiral. Approach the choice of bobbins with all responsibility: the tree must be well processed so that the hair does not cling or get tangled. This type is much more troublesome than the previous ones, but more effective.

Plastic curlers are similar to wooden ones, but they can differ in fixation and quality. They are equipped with a small hook and fix the curl at the root, which allows you to fix the strand well.

Advantages and disadvantages

In the case of a choice, it is worth weighing the pros and cons. Although there are many pluses in this method of curling, minuses are still possible.

So the pros:

• creating a hairstyle in a short time;
• convenient to use;
• styling lasts a long time;
• hair is not exposed to any harmful treatments;
• beneficial for daily use.

The disadvantages include:

In addition, they should not be used if your hair is brittle, thin, split or heavy. In order for your hairstyle to be flawless, it is worth considering all the factors and tips.

Before choosing a curling method, be sure to read the product reviews.

I used hot rollers for a very long time and I liked everything. For some kind of celebration, they presented spiral ones, but for a long time I did not dare to check the quality and convenience. When I made up my mind, it turned out that they are very easy to use. I used the ones with the hook, and it turned out to be even faster.

Magic leverage curlers have recently appeared on our market, so many beauties have a very reasonable question about how to use them.

Owners long hair quite often they are unhappy with the result from using conventional curlers. When winding a long strand, it is not uncommon for the hair to slide off, so you only have to curl half of the possible length, and it is simply impossible to use curlers with Velcro. When unraveling the "hedgehogs", not only does half of the beauty straighten, but there are still many unpleasant moments when the hair has to be pulled out in order to get rid of the curlers.

The ideal option in this case is crochet curlers, which, on the one hand, are very smooth, so nothing clings anywhere, and on the other hand, a good fixation is provided, allowing the hair to stick.

What is their advantage with crochet curlers?

• Compared to other types, their use takes much less time, especially with proper skill.
• They are ideal for medium to long hair. Even if the length of the curler is not enough, you can add another piece to the same hair.
• These curlers are absolutely safe for hair health, so they can be used even when creating hairstyles for girls.

How do they look?

These are hollow polymer tapes, wound into a spiral, with silicone tips at the ends.

Plus, there is a hook in the kit, with which the strand is pulled through the tape.

By the way, the only complaint that this type of curler causes is applied to this hook, it often breaks during use. In order to avoid this problem, purchase curlers from trusted stores that sell quality goods.

How to use crochet curlers

Perhaps using crochet curlers is easier than all other types. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the correspondence between the length of the ribbon and the strand of hair. But even if you have not guessed with the size, you can always put another tape on the same strand.

Cheat procedure

1) Hair must be clean, so wash it and dry it naturally or using a towel until it is semi-damp.

2) If you are using these curlers for the first time, do not use any additional styling products to understand how your hair will behave. Alternatively, apply a light foam or mousse to keep your hair from weighing down.

3) We curl the hair according to the rules, that is, we start from the top of the head, then go to the back of the head. The sides will be next, and we end with bangs. Depending on what kind of wave you need, choose the width of the strand. If you need a fine perm, then we take a strand of 1-2 cm, for a large wave, the thickness, respectively, should be greater.

However, you should not get too carried away either, as practice shows, it is difficult to thread a very thick bun of hair through the tape, even with the help of a hook.

4) We insert the hook into the tape so that its tip looks out of the hole.

5) We hook the strand and drag it through the tube. Try to pull the ribbon closer to the roots of the hair so that later the hairstyle looks as natural as possible, see the photo.

In order to prevent the hair from getting tousled during this procedure, the strand can be twisted into a loose flagellum.

6) Let go of the tape, and it will twist itself into a spiral.

7) We carry out the same actions with all the rest of the hair.

8) How long you keep the curlers on your hair depends on the way you dry your hair. It is better to dry naturally, but if you are in a hurry, it is quite possible to use a hair dryer, because silicone curlers, unlike most other types, are not afraid of high temperatures.

9) To remove the curlers from the head, you just need to slightly squeeze the tip and gently pull them off the curl.

10) From ready-made curls, at your discretion, you can make a hairstyle or leave it loose. Just as after using other similar accessories, after curling you should not get carried away with combing, but use a comb with rare teeth for styling. If necessary, fix the hairstyle with varnish.

In addition to ribbon curlers, there are plastic vertical curlers. The curl is neatly wound on them, and its tip is securely fixed with a clip or elastic band. Vertical plastic curlers are heavier than ribbon curlers, which is their disadvantage.

Spiral curlers - how to use

The first step is hair preparation. It is advisable to wet them and dry them slightly with a hairdryer or towel. Perms can be done after a shower. If the hair is too dry, then the curls will not be able to give shape and volume, drying too wet strands will take a long time.

To fix the shape of the future hairstyle, apply mousse or hair foam to your hair.

It is better to curl the hair, starting from the back of the head. First, you need to divide the hair into strands 1-2 cm wide, they can be twisted into a tourniquet so that the hairs do not knock out.

Then you should thread the end of the strand with a special hook through the tape and hook it with a silicone frame at the roots of the hair. It is important to hold the tape at the roots while threading.

Having fixed the tape at the roots, a strand of hair must be passed through the curlers and twisted in a spiral.

To remove the curlers, you need to gently pull on the end. The finished hairstyle can be sprinkled with varnish to fix the effect.

Spiral beautiful curls can give any girl a romantic and mysterious look. Unfortunately, many simply do not know how to make such curls on their own. However, for a start, it is enough just to buy curlers-spirals.

Features and Benefits

Spiral curlers differ significantly from classic papillotes, but this does not mean that they are worse. On the contrary, it is worth giving preference to "spirals". However, they have a number of features and are not suitable for everyone:

• To begin with, it should be noted that spiral papillotes are of two varieties. Hard ones will suit everyone, while soft ones will only suit certain hair types.

Speaking about the features of the spiral curlers, it is worth noting the common features of hard and soft models. With these features, styling on such curlers differs from traditional methods of curling:

• Curling with spiral curlers is done using a different method. If ordinary papillotes require the strand to be wound horizontally, then spiral ones - vertically.
• In the case of using "spirals", the result is elastic curls-curls. When styling with traditional styles, a hairstyle with soft romantic curls or waves is obtained.
• As everyone knows, a perm on a classic curler lasts quite a long time. Spiral papillotes are able to compete with their "sisters" in this matter. The girls write that the effect of using "spirals" lasts much longer.
• From the name it is clear that spiral curlers are used to obtain spring curls. The curls are finer and smoother when comparing the result after using regular and spiral models.
• Also an important difference is the size... If we talk about hard spiral papillotes, they are mostly made quite thin, while soft curlers open up complete freedom of choice regarding the diameter of the future curl. Conventional traditional curlers are made in different thicknesses, but rarely when the length of these gizmos varies. With spirals, this problem will not arise.

As you can see, curling on spiral papillotes has a number of advantages, and curling on "soft" spirals is more preferable. In addition to the listed characteristics, their advantages also include the following:

• Safety for hair health. Due to the fact that the hair is not subjected to additional heat treatment, the use of such curlers on this moment is the most gentle form of curling. A gentle effect on the shape of the curl allows you to give the hair the necessary bend, at the same time, without affecting its structure in any way. You can even sleep with "spirals", but they will not interfere in any way.
• Spring curlers can be selected for both short and long hair (models up to 75 cm in length are available).
• Due to the uniform effect on the curl, it will twist without creases.
• The use of high-tech polymer fiber in the production of such curlers allows them to be used for a long time.

Materials (edit)

As mentioned above, spiral curlers are divided into hard and soft. Solid curlers look like thin tubes with a spiral cut in the center. They are supplemented with a special rubber or iron hair clip. The use of hard curlers allows you to get an elastic curl-spring, with all curls in this case will be absolutely identical. However, often the tree is not processed well enough, as a result of which difficulties arise when removing the papillotes. Damaged and broken hair is very difficult to repair in the future. Hard papillotes are made of wood, metal and plastic:

• Wooden curlers more common and often the legacy of our mothers and grandmothers. Spiral papillotes are rarely used. Their plastic counterpart causes less confidence on the part of the fair sex, since, as a rule, the high quality of plastic curlers is by no means guaranteed.
• Plastic curlers less traumatic, but if they turn out to be of insufficient quality, it is impossible in principle to perform at least some kind of perm with their help.

• Soft curlers are made of a fabric-like material that is twisted in a spiral shape. When purchasing such a set, a plastic hook is additionally attached, which is assembled from two or three parts, depending on the length of the "spiral". While soft curlers are usually made of high quality polymer, the same cannot be said for a hook. Girls note that it breaks down in the first place, so be sure to pay attention to its quality when buying.

Due to the special properties of the material from which the soft papillotes are made, they can be firmly fixed on the hair without help special clamps or hairpins. At the same time, it is quite easy to remove them, you just need to pull on the end of the spiral. The polymer is absolutely harmless to hair. It is a soft canvas, due to which such a papillote will not get tangled in the hair, will not break it, and the hair will not be able to catch on irregularities and be traumatized.

Varieties

Hard as well as soft curlers are distinguished according to two criteria: length and size. Long hair curlers are for long hair. Shorter models, respectively, for short ones.

The length of the soft curlers varies from 15 to 75 cm, allowing you to choose them for any hair length. In order to make it easier for the buyer to decide on the choice of the required papillote length, a list of the following recommendations can be formed:

• For chin-length hair, curlers from 15 cm are suitable.
• If the length of the hair is shoulder-length, you should stay on models 15-25 cm.
• With a length slightly below shoulder level, curlers of 25-35 cm are suitable.
• If the hair reaches the shoulder blades, choose papillotes 35-45 cm long.
• For hair below the shoulder blades, be guided by curlers with a length of 45-55 cm.
• If your hair reaches your waist, then the 55-65cm options are fine.
• Finally, if your hair is below the waistline, choose a papillote with a maximum length of 75 cm.

The length of hard curlers also differs, but in the case of them, this will only affect how "springy" the curl will turn out in the end.

The diameter of the curler directly affects the end result, since it depends on what kind of curl you end up with. Spiral papillotes allow you to create both small mischievous curls and glamorous large curls.

Spirals with a diameter of 1-3 cm are great for styling small curls. They will look like you did perm... When choosing "spirals" of this diameter, be careful: small "springs" are not suitable for everyone. In addition, curling in this case should start from the very roots, so for such styling it is better to choose solid curlers.

The effect of natural curls can be obtained by using spiral papillotes with a diameter of 2.5 to 4 cm. Soft curlers will give more natural effect in the end, while solid ones will create a semblance of doll styling.

Helpful advice: When using soft curlers, style hair in different directions in random order - towards the face and away from the face. So you will achieve a greater effect of carelessness and naturalness.

"Spirals" of the largest diameter - 5 cm - will serve great alternative curling iron and ironing when creating Hollywood curls. Hard curlers of this diameter are not produced, but soft ones can be found without difficulty. Before using the soft spirals, be sure to apply a smoothing agent to your hair so that the resulting waves look more bohemian.

Please note that hard papillots are suitable for styling any type of hair, and soft ones are only for wavy and curly hair.

How to use it correctly?

In order to create a beautiful styling, you need to be able to apply spiral curlers properly. It will also save you from unpleasant consequences, for example, from the fact that the curls will start at different heights.

First of all, decide what kind of hairstyle you want to get in the end. Whether it's fine curls, natural waves, or Hollywood curls, it's up to you. The preparation of the hair for subsequent styling depends on what result you want to see.

Creating small curls

To create this hairstyle, it is better to choose solid spiral curlers with a small diameter. Do it yourself this hairstyle you will not succeed, so we advise you to arm yourself with the help of a patient friend:

• First, wash your hair and dry your hair with a towel. It is best to leave it on for 10-20 minutes so that the water is well absorbed. Next, treat hair with a heat protectant and a strong hold styling product. Hairdressers advise choosing products with a smoothing effect to create small curls, as it will ultimately give a more neat look to your curls.
• Comb your hair thoroughly. A soft-toothed brush is ideal for brushing wet hair. Before twisting them, divide the entire head into zones (temporal, parietal, occipital and bangs).
• It is best to start curling from the back of the head. Separate a section of hair about 2 cm wide and twist into a light rope to keep the hairs from knocking out. Bring the curler-spiral to the base of the curl and start winding the lock on the papillote so that the curl is exactly in the grooves of the spiral cut. Secure with a special clip.
• Do the same for the rest of the hair. Please note that the winding should not be too tight, as otherwise your hair will not dry out and you will not achieve the desired effect.
• Dry your head thoroughly with a hairdryer or naturally if time permits. Please note that it is better not to leave the spiral curlers at night, since it is impossible to sleep in them.
• Gently free hair from papillotes... You should not comb your hair, it is better to rub a couple of drops of texturizing hair product in your hands and "walk" a little on individual strands. This styling will delight you until the next shampooing.
