Chic styling with luxurious curls can be quickly done at home using Velcro curlers. A hairstyle with romantic curls suits any woman's face, and with the right accessories and styling products, you will get a great result. Velcro curlers are special soft cylinders designed for gentle hair styling. Strands after such devices will not dry out, and the ends will not become brittle and weakened, as is often the case with other styling methods. "Soft hedgehogs" are very easy to use, and due to their different volume, a woman can get completely different hairstyles - from small curls to voluminous curls.
Advantages and disadvantages of Velcro curlers
Velcro curlers are a great way not only to style your hair or styling, but also to simply dry your hair without a hairdryer. These cylinders with thorns have been known to stylists and hairdressers for a long time, but the fashion for them returned relatively recently, when women realized that all the super-fashionable styling products from a series of irons, hairs and hair dryers destroy the structure of the strands, making them lifeless. Today, a sparing effect on curls is in fashion.
To appreciate all the advantages of these curlers, it is important to know the pros and cons that their use implies. Advantages of Velcro:
- Their use does not require clamps or pins for fixing, which can break and pull out hairs. The attachment function is performed by small cilia that cover the cylinder. An exception can only be when using "hedgehogs" for very thick, heavy hair.
- Quickly and easily curled up, so in the morning a woman can do styling and, for example, have breakfast at the same time.
- They can give a good volumetric result in a few minutes without using a hair dryer. Twisting the curlers for 10 minutes, a woman with loose and sparse strands will get a voluminous hairstyle. In the same way, you can simply dry the curls without a hair dryer.
- Girls with curly hair can use them to smooth out curls. If you use Velcro along with leveling agents, you can get a good result without using special irons.
- Using these "hedgehog cylinders", a woman can change her image every day, making her curls small or large. It all depends on the volume of the curler.
This curler guarantees great results, but not for all women. They also have their disadvantages. Disadvantages of Velcro curlers:
- Not recommended for girls with long hair. This procedure can entangle strands so much that scissors are essential.
- Not suitable for very thick and heavy hair. Such "curlers-hedgehogs" will be powerless against such a head of hair and will not give the desired effect - they simply will not "raise" them.
- Not intended for overnight use. Due to the light texture, they will unwind and give no result. In the worst case, on the contrary, they can get very tangled in the hair.
Note that Velcro curlers can help you style your strands in a variety of ways. It all depends on the volume of the cylinders and on which hair - dry or wet.
The main varieties of Velcro curlers
These hairstyles can be distinguished by two criteria - color and volume. If color does not matter when creating an image, then size is the opposite. Choosing the volume of the curler at random, you can get into a mess.
Large Velcro curlers
Before buying cylinders, decide what type of styling you need them for. Large curlers are often chosen not to create separate tight curls, but to form a voluminous styling. Remember, the diameter of these attachments plays a key role in creating a hairstyle. Large Velcro curlers are used to:
- Wind the bangs … The thickest bangs can be quickly given the desired shape by winding it onto one such cylinder with a volume of about five centimeters. The size can be selected depending on the density and length of the bangs. After use, the hair will lie one to one.
- Make the tips wavy … Owners of long thick strands cannot fully use such curlers, but you can slightly twist the ends with their help. For this, Velcro curlers are used with a diameter of 1-3 centimeters. Try to keep the strands thin so that they wrap well.
- Add volume to short hair … Almost all hairstyles on short hair look more impressive in volumetric form. It is the large Velcro curlers with a diameter of 3-7 centimeters that lift the hairs at the roots in a matter of minutes.
Small Velcro curlers
Small "spiky cylinders" are most often used to give a woman tight, small or medium curls. To do this, choose "hedgehogs" with a diameter of 2-3 centimeters. When you still need small Velcro:
- If you want to create a voluminous multi-piece hairstyle. In this case, both small and large sticky curlers will be used. Use a medium diameter on the sides, a large one on top, and small curlers below. It turns out an interesting effect, as if the hair was wound on curling irons of different sizes.
- If you need to wind thin strands around the neck or behind the ears. They do not hold on large cylinders, and the styling looks unfinished.
Small devices can often confuse hairs, so you need to remove them very slowly, carefully freeing each strand. Never try to pull the curlers to pull them out - as a result, you may be left without a clump of hair.

How to use Velcro fine curlers
A woman with small curls falling on her face always looks charming. But not every girl is ready to perm and harm her hair.

Roll the curlers tight and put them on your head to hold. Choose one direction and place all curlers symmetrically.
