Manual curling is called curling hair with fingers, combs, hairpins, clips, combs and fixatives.

First, comb the hair with a comb with frequent teeth and divide it into zones. The hair is combed in the direction that is necessary to create the intended hairstyle. Further actions depend on the type of hand styling, the tools used and the hairstyle.

Finger curling with a comb

Hair styling with waves using a comb can be horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal waving

1 Horizontal curling starts from the frontal zone of the right side, while holding the hair with the left hand, and with the right hand, in which the comb is located, set them in the right direction.

2 With the teeth of the comb, slightly raise the hair from the head, then lower it, connecting the comb (it is held parallel to the head) to the beginning and end of the wave.

3 With the index and middle fingers, squeeze the crest of the wave so that it takes on a relief look.

4 To create a recess in the cavity of the wave, turn the comb with the teeth down without removing it from the hair.

5 If you need to style the entire volume of hair in waves, continue similar actions further towards the crown. Then the wave will be created on the entire upper section of the head.

6 The second wave begins to be performed from the crown. Movements are directed in the opposite direction to the first. The comb must also be moved in the opposite direction. This is how the second ridge is formed.

With a horizontal curl, the ridges and waves go from the forehead and down, located as if in belts around the head, and with a vertical curl, from left to right, moving from top to bottom. This is their only difference.

7 The third wave is again started from the face, like the first. To create it, repeat all the movements of the first. The only difference between this wave and the first is that it goes from the hairline to the back of the head.

8 The fourth wave, respectively, is lowered below the third and begins to be done from the back of the head, like the second. To complete it, you need to repeat all the steps of the second.

9 In order for the left side of the hairstyle to turn out like the right one, perform the same steps. At the same time, the same sequence is observed so that the wave crests of the right and left sides coincide with each other. Thus, all hair will be styled in 4 waves.

Vertical hair curling at home and her photo

Vertical curling of hair is performed in a similar way, only at the same time the direction of the waves is changed. Vertical curling at home can be done with tongs and a hair dryer, or with ordinary curlers.

The following shows a vertical curl in the photo in various options for winding curls.

Curling with clips. The use of clips for curling hair in waves and curls allows you to achieve a stronger fixation and a variety of models. The curl, fixed with a clip, consists of a base, a trunk and a curl. The base is the part of the curl adjacent to the head, the trunk is the part between the base and the first turn of the curl, the curl is the part of the strand that is twisted. The width and power of the wave depends on the size of the latter.

Hair curling can be done with a comb and hair dryer. Under the influence of warm air, various waves can be formed on the hair

Curls when curled by hand and secured with clips can be with an open and closed center. The first give smooth, even waves with the same bends, the second – waves that become narrower towards the end.

Curling technique:

1 The hair is moistened and combed in the direction in which the curls will be laid.

2 Pull out a narrow strand of hair with a comb, pull it slightly, twist it around, holding the curl with the finger of the left hand.

3 Put the index finger of the left hand at the first turn of the curl and twist the strand to the end around it.

4 Carefully remove your finger from the curl, holding the end of the strand inside, and secure it with a clip.

Curling technique:

1 Moisturize the hair, then comb it in the right direction, move it with the palm of your hand until a comb is formed and stick two combs into the resulting wave.

2 Scallops are inserted on both sides with teeth towards each other, lifting the crest of the wave.

The direction of the curls can be very different. They can be facing away from the face or towards the face, up or down, diagonally, horizontally, vertically, etc.

Curling with combs

You can fix the waves created by hand with scallops. They are mainly used to create wide waves. Combs make it easier to curl naturally curly hair.
