What tools and materials are used for styling

The choice of styling tools and products depends on the length of your hair.

• combs and brushes of different types;
• curlers, tongs of different shapes;
• clips, invisible pins and hairpins;

Having such a simple set, it is quite possible to style your hair at home without resorting to the help of a hairdresser.

Styling technique for medium length hair using various tools

How to blow-dry your hair

Styling your hair with a hairdryer is quite simple. However, just before the styling itself, you need to remember some of the rules for working with a hairdryer.

These are the rules:

• In no case should you dry very wet hair with a hair dryer, it is better to dry it with a towel first and only after a while use a hair dryer.
• Before blow-drying your hair, it is better to apply some protective agent (spray or hair cream with a thermal protection effect) to damp hair, this will help to comb the hair better after drying and relieve the electrifying effect.
• For styling, it is imperative to use a hair spray, since, unlike mousses and foams, it penetrates the hair structure faster.
• You can dry your hair using a hair dryer only in cool or slightly warm air, since the high temperature, breaking the hair structure, makes it brittle.
• It is not recommended to use a hairdryer every day; hairdressers advise doing such styling no more than 4 times a week.

In a variety of ways, hair is styled for medium hair (you can see a photo of hairstyles below).

The simplest and most affordable styling methods:

• To add a little volume to your daily hairstyle, use a round hair brush, which you should wind your hair around and dry it in this position with a hairdryer.
• To achieve perfect straight hair in styling, wind the curls around the brush, pulling it down a little. You need to dry your hair with a hairdryer, while directing the air flow from top to bottom. This styling will take a little longer, because you have to pay attention to the entire length of the hair and especially to the ends that are difficult to straighten.
• To create hairstyles with a large volume, styling is done starting from the very roots of the hair.To do this, after combing your hair well, you need to raise a lock of hair at the very root system and direct a stream of warm air there. The ends of the hair in this styling are twisted both up and down, and if desired, they are left straight.
• Stylists advise fixing any hairstyle with a strong or medium fixation varnish, depending on how long the hairstyle should last. You can also use a hair gloss after styling.

How to curl and straighten hair with an iron - step by step

To straighten unruly strands, use an iron with a wide plate, and for curling hair, on the contrary, they usually use models with a narrow one.

Metal is an unsafe hair covering. It is safer to use models with a ceramic coating. They are distinguished by a more gentle effect on the hair. The teflon-coated ironing model will save the hair as much as possible. With the help of an iron, medium-length hair is laid in "beach curls", because the styling looks as if the girl had just been on the beach.

To create such a styling you need:

• pre-apply a thermal spray to the curls;
• twist strands of hair into bundles, given that the larger the bundles, the larger the waves in the styling will be;
• each tourniquet is carefully passed through the iron; you can twist into bundles not completely strands, but only the ends of the hair;
• at the end of styling, gently distribute the curls with your hands and fix with hairspray.

Laying with a curling iron - technique and rules

Many women know that, despite the ease of use, creating a hairstyle with a curling iron has its own subtleties and even tricks:

• Depending on the diameter of the curling iron, both large and small curls are obtained.
• To avoid burning your hair, it is best to use a ceramic-coated curling iron.
• You need to create a hairstyle with a curling iron only on clean, freshly washed hair, since many hair products, including hairspray, are highly flammable.
• So that the ends of the hair are not overdried, it is better to use special oils to care for them.

You can make a simple hairstyle with a curling iron by following a simple algorithm:

• All hair is divided into 4 zones - temporal, occipital and parietal. In some cases, if the hair is very thick, the parietal part of the hair is divided in two.
• Curl the hair from the back of the head, starting from the bottom layers of the hair.
• To make the hairstyle look spectacular, it is better to wind up small strands, besides, the thinner the strand, the better it will warm up, and therefore fix.
• To make the curl look neat, it should be wound from the root, for this purpose, you need to clamp a lock of hair at the roots and wind a curl on the curling iron with your hand.
• It is not recommended to heat your hair with a curling iron for more than 40 seconds in order not to damage it.
• As soon as the strands on the back of the head are twisted, you should go to the crown, and then to the curls at the temples. At the end of the curling of the strands, the hair is evenly distributed over the entire head.
• When the hair is cool, comb it a little or pull it apart with your hands.
• At the very end, you need to fix the hairstyle a little with varnish, but it should be sprayed from afar so as not to weigh down the hairstyle.

Diffuser styling technique

Hair styling with a diffuser is the most gentle procedure, as it does not dry out the scalp and do not injure the hair. With the help of a diffuser, you can make delicate curls, curls, and a wide variety of voluminous hairstyles.

A specific type of diffuser attachment is recommended for each hair length. For medium-length hair, we suggest using the short-toothed option.

When styling your hair with a diffuser, follow these rules:

• The hair is washed well and dried a little with a towel, and then a small amount of mousse or any other hair styling product is applied to it.
• After dividing the hair into 2 parts, it is necessary to dry them with a diffuser.
• The top of the hair should be tied up with a barrette and the bottom should be styled first.
• Strands are neatly laid on the diffuser, and the nozzle itself is pressed tightly to the head.
• For a more voluminous look, you can also massage in a circular motion.
• An interesting styling is obtained if, while drying the hair, the head is rotated in different directions.
• If you need to get more elastic curls, then use the nozzle from the bottom up.
• The finished hairstyle should always be fixed with a cold stream of air, and at the very end - with varnish.

How to curl your hair correctly - which way

Sometimes it happens that it takes a huge amount of time to style the hair, but the hairstyle looks unkempt.

To avoid this situation, it is important to follow the rules for perfect curls:

• If the hair is unruly and, moreover, does not hold its shape well, be sure to use pre-care products, and also apply quite a bit of varnish before they begin to shape the hairstyle.
• Before you start curling the curls, you should determine the side in which you need to twist. To keep your hair looking natural, it is best to curl your hair away from your face.
• One of the common mistakes when curling your hair is scrolling the hair tool, not the curls themselves.
• You should not twist the curl itself before winding it on the curling iron, as a result, the heating will be uneven and the curl will take on a sloppy look.
• Curl the hair from the roots, and not from the ends, then the curls will look more noble and curled to one side.

What curlers are and how to use them

When creating a beautiful and fashionable hairstyle, do not forget about such a simple hair styling tool as curlers, which there are several types for all kinds of hairstyles and styling:

• Curlers-hedgehogs so called because, thanks to their texture, they adhere perfectly to the hair. Using this type of hair curler helps to dry hair quickly and create a lush, voluminous hairstyle. Velcro curlers, as they are also called, are suitable for girls with medium or short hair, and owners of long hair should not use them: the hair can become seriously tangled. Also, stylists do not recommend using this type of curler for those who have thin and brittle hair;
• Velvet-effect curlers they call it velvet, these curlers are very popular among stylists, as they help to create spectacular hairstyles without causing severe damage to the hair. Velvet curlers come in various lengths and diameters to suit any hair. On the hair, such curlers are fixed with plastic sticks, which are inserted into a special hole;
• Plastic heat rollers are familiar to most Russian women, their accessibility and ease of use make them popular to this day. Before curling curls, heat rollers must be brought to a boil and only then start curling, therefore such curlers are not the most gentle way to curl hair;
• Foam curlers great for curling your hair at night. On the one hand, this is the advantage of this type of curler over other types, but, on the other hand, due to the soft texture of the curler, the hairstyle does not always please with the expected result;
• Metallic curlers with natural bristles are very similar to Velcro curlers, but they are fixed on the hair with the help of special sticks. It is these hair curlers that stylists do not recommend using, since when creating styling and drying with a hairdryer, the heated metal base will cause great harm to the hair;
• Curler boomerangs differ from all others in shape and the ability to use them for curling any hair - from short to medium. Such curlers are completely safe even if you spend the whole day in them. With the help of this type of curler, you can form both large and small curls, depending on their diameter.

A variety of curlers are used to curl medium hair. But before giving preference to one or another type, you should first decide on a hairstyle. Depending on this, you already need to wind your hair with foam, spiral or other curlers. And to learn the skill of creating hair styling at home, rely on the photo instructions.
