Dreams of straight hair. Those with straight hair dream of curls. And if the former do not have many options - a comb, hair dryer, curling iron, but they work quite predictably, then the latter have more choice, but also more questions. How to properly curl your hair with curlers, what to do so that the curls turn out the way they should, lie well, do not frizz and last a long time - the site has found the answers.
Why curlers
Of course, curls can be formed much faster if you use curling irons, a hair dryer, curling iron or other special devices. But they, no matter how modern and high-tech they are, have a disadvantage: frequent exposure to hot air or hot surfaces negatively affects the quality of hair. Hairdressers agree and advise resorting to these methods in cases where you need to get ready quickly.
If you have some time left, it is better to take care of the safety of your hair and use a method that has been proven over the years: styling with curlers.
Where to begin
If your hair is not completely clean, wash your hair with a shampoo suitable for your hair type, which does not promise extra shine or straightening: the components responsible for this, for example, silicone, will make the hair less manageable.
Dry your hair lightly with a towel. Do not rub them too hard: this damages the hair structure, which leads to breakage. Just attach a towel from natural material to the strands for a couple of minutes, it will absorb excess water itself.
Try to follow the rule of the “golden mean”: strands that are too wet will take a long time to dry, and curlers used on dry hair will not give the hair the desired shape.

How to curl your hair with curlers
Before you wrap your hair in curlers, comb your hair with a fine-toothed comb made of natural material; they do not cause static electricity and your hair will be less frizzy at the roots. The correct direction for combing is where the curls will be placed.
Using slight tension, pull the strands perpendicular to the head. Start curling your hair from the bangs (it dries faster), then the crown, back of the head, and temples. The latter must be wound in the direction of hair growth. If the strand has already dried, wet it plain water or a special spray.

How to remove curlers
Curlers can be removed only after the hair is completely dry, not only outside, but also inside. To be sure, you can lightly dry your hair with a hairdryer. Our mothers used a special cap for this, to which a tube was connected that supplied heated air. Now hair dryers are quite powerful to cope without it, but if you wish, you can look for such a device.
You need to remove the curlers in the reverse order, carefully, without rushing. Do not pull your hair under any circumstances, this can ruin the result.
Don't comb your hair right away. Wait a few minutes, then gently comb your hair with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
To make your hairstyle last even longer, you can fix it with hairspray, holding the balloon at the maximum distance from your hair: the moisture contained in the balloon is also contraindicated for them.

Pay attention to the boomerang curlers. Externally, they look like this: a base made of flexible wire is covered with a foam or rubber sheath. Boomerangs come in different diameters and lengths, which allows you to independently determine the volume of curls. When choosing curlers, consider the result. A thin base will visually shorten your curls by half and create a “small lamb” curl, which most often looks ridiculous. With all its advantages (gentle styling method, reasonable price, variety of choice), curling curls with boomerangs takes a lot of time. It is better to leave these curlers overnight.

Read about all this further in the article.
What are they?
The main advantage of foam rollers is ease of use and softness. They are various shapes, most often they are cylinders or round balls, with different ways fixing hair.
With these curlers there are no problems with overnight curling, but due to their softness they are not very durable. Do beautiful styling There's no problem with them, you just have to try different variants tensioning the hair to form uniform curls.
Who is it suitable for and what kind of curls do they get?
You can use soft curlers on any hair length and curl them for any time. They can be used for express styling, when there is very little time, by applying special remedy to fix curls, or you can safely leave it for a long time, including overnight.
Long hair can be styled either in Hollywood waves or in steep, defined curls.
Short and medium strands - in large or small curls, adding pomp to any hairstyle. Maybe, Such curlers will not be very convenient for hair that is too short.
Types of curlers
Soft curlers for curls are divided into two main types: round and locs. Both of these types are convenient, practical, and anyone can handle them, including those who have not used curlers before at all.
Loxes
Loxa classic curlers are foam rubber cylinders with a longitudinal stripe-slit along the entire length. The thickness of these products varies; the thicker the curler, the cooler the finished curl will be. It should be taken into account that foam rubber decreases in volume when compressed. The hair is secured with elastic bands.
In this case, the hair is curled without creases, the ends of the hair are not damaged, on these elastic soft devices you can allow yourself to sleep peacefully without removing the wrap. If desired, you can buy sets with locs of different thicknesses. This is very practical, as you can do a variety of styling, varying the size of curls near the face, on the top of the head, on long strands.
Round
Round foam papillottes made of foam rubber appeared not so long ago (everyone compares them to macaroon cookies, hence popular name), but they are very convenient to use. This is an ideal option for long strands, the curls are natural, and the curlers themselves do not weigh down the head, which is very important for those with thick, long hair.
Inside, these donut-shaped curlers have the same foam cylinder. Through a longitudinal incision, opening the two halves of the curlers, you need to get to this cylinder and wind your hair onto it.
Selection and cost of foam rollers
When choosing hair curlers, you need to focus on the length of your hair, and not just how to choose the right model. Foam curlers of any kind are best suited for long and medium strands, for girls with short hair they are likely to be awkward to use and ineffective (especially the round ones). They won't hold short curls
in a fixed form and installation will not work. Note,
You can curl soft foam rollers using various techniques; they are not complicated and depend on the planned hairstyle. You need to choose foam rollers depending on the length of your hair and the intended types of styling.

Rules and features of use
- Step-by-step instructions on how to curl your hair with foam rollers:
- Dry the strands with a well-absorbing towel, or apply a spray for easy combing. You can dry your hair a little naturally, if you have time, or use a hairdryer. The strands should not be completely dry, just slightly damp so that curls are formed, but at the same time the hair has time to dry.
- The wrapping starts with the bangs. Wetting the strand with a styling product (mousse, spray, lotion), fix it in the cut of the cylinder and wrap it around the curlers until it reaches the scalp. You can twist it tighter, since the foam is soft and the strand may unravel. We secure it with an elastic band in two turns, being careful not to overtighten and leave creases.
- We divide the rest of the hair into sections (we divide the back of the head in half vertically, and two lateral ones), twist it, and fix it with clips.
- We wind the upper sector. Divide into equal strands and, applying mousse to each along the entire length, twist. The amount depends on the thickness of the hair and the number of curls desired. We place the curlers horizontally, parallel to the hairline. If the curlers different sizes, then the large ones go to the top of the head, we wind the sides and the back of the head onto smaller ones.
- It is better to wind the side strands vertically, wrap the hair inward. If you need wide waves, loose curls, you can choose a horizontal curl. To ensure that there are no creases or dents on the curls surrounding the face on the outside, you need to wind the elastic not too tightly, along the curled hair.
- After removing the curlers, do not rush to use the comb. If possible, you need to give your hair a little rest, then model the curls with your fingers, or continue styling with a comb. You need to comb individual strands, otherwise you will get waves instead of curls.
- You can fix your hair with hairspray, especially if the weather is humid outside.
Important! If the hair has time to dry out during the curling process, you need to moisten it a little with water. If you plan to leave the curlers overnight, you can wear a scarf or light bandana so they won't fall off while you sleep. Read more about how to curl your hair at night on our website.
