Hairstyles on curlers for short, medium, long hair (photo, video)

Many women who have naturally straight hair dream of full curls or soft curls.

Curly strands look more voluminous and hold styling better, so the fair sex uses all sorts of ways to give the hair the desired shape.

One of these methods is curlers – a capacious concept that includes devices from a variety of materials.

We will find out what varieties of these accessories are and how to make beautiful stylish hairstyles on curlers.

Varieties of curlers

With the help of different devices, you can get a different effect – curls are different for curls.

To create soft waves, large-diameter curlers are used, and compact accessories are suitable for forming small curls. But curlers differ not only in diameter – the modern market offers a huge variety of devices for curling curls.

Thermo curlers

These are polymer or ceramic cylinders with paraffin inside. The filler heats up relatively quickly and cools down for a long time, so the principle of the effect of such accessories is similar to the principle of the effect of a curling iron.

Heat the curlers and wind the hair around them, securing with special clips. Wait for the curlers to cool down and remove them from your hair.

You can heat the rollers in different ways, traditionally they are boiled for some time in boiling water. Modern hot rollers do not need to be boiled – they are placed in a special container that is connected to the mains and heats the curlers in a few minutes.

Velcro

To fix such devices on the hair, no clips or hairpins are needed – thanks to the Velcro surface, light plastic cylinders themselves hold on to the head, clinging to the hair.

Velcro hairstyles for short hair are best suited – the photo shows spectacular curls that can be combed into lush waves or fixed with varnish in clear rings.

Wooden papilottes

These devices are small bars with crevices along the edges, the strand is wound onto a bar and fixed with an elastic band.

These curlers are suitable for creating small curls on short hair. There are also wooden spirals that allow you to create clear small curls that resemble serpentine.

Foam curlers

These are long thin cylinders with clasps at the ends. Wind the strand on the curlers and fasten to make a circle.

Such devices are great for winding your hair at night, they are very soft and do not interfere with sleep.

If you have thick hair, apply a wet hair gel before using the curlers. This solution will help you tame curls and create a harmonious hairstyle.

It is best to wind freshly washed hair, it is enough to blot it with a towel so that water does not drip from the ends. Always apply a styling product to your hair, and if you plan to use a hair dryer, then a heat protectant.

If you have weak split ends, avoid using a hair dryer at all costs and do not use hot rollers. When winding the strand, make sure that the ends do not break, but smoothly bend around the cylinder.

Don’t wind the strands too tight – if you use too much force, you will damage the hair structure and you can accidentally pull out weak hairs.
