How beautiful to make curls with an iron and a pencil
In order to form spectacular curls with an iron, first dry the strands a little after washing your hair, your hair should be slightly damp. If they are wet, it will be very difficult to create a similar styling on them, moreover, the curls will quickly lose their shape under the weight.
Next, you should divide the hair into several even parts. It is recommended to make thin strands to create natural curls; in this case, curling, of course, will take more time. The thinner the strands, the finer the curls come out. If you make large strands for curling, then the curls will turn out to be softer and smoother.
Select the strand you need in volume and wind it around the pencil with neat movements. You need to wind the strands in dense layers, it is advisable to start from the edge of the pencil. It should not be visible behind the layers of hair, the strands should be well wound one by one. As a result, you will get curls that are evenly curled along the entire length, they look as natural as possible. Moreover, during the curling process, you process only the strands, not the pencil.
The next step is to squeeze the strands wrapped around the pencil well with a hair straightening iron. Be sure to make sure that the curling iron is not heated to the maximum temperature, otherwise you will simply burn your hair. For the process of curling fine or dyed hair, the required ironing temperature is no more than 240 degrees. Curl coarse and voluminous hair at temperatures up to three hundred degrees. It is not recommended to set the temperature above 380 for any type and length of hair.
Hold the curling iron on each lock for five seconds. Remember about safety measures: in the process, be careful and do not overexpose the hot device on your hair. As soon as you go over the curls with an iron, do not immediately remove them from the pencil, give them a few seconds to cool down.
When removing curls from a pencil, do it not abruptly, without haste. If the resulting curls are strongly curled and resemble a spring, just pass the curls through your fingers several times. You should not comb the curls, because they will quickly lose their shape.
For longer, bouncy curls, sprinkle a little nail polish on your hair after styling.

- Rinse and dry your hair well.

- Keep the curling iron on your hair for no more than five to seven seconds, then the strand is gently pulled out of the device.
- Finished curls must be combed with a wide-toothed comb, sprinkled with varnish to fix the hair.

And most importantly, the whole process will take quite a bit of time - no more than twenty minutes. Hold the straightener at different angles depending on what type of curls you want.
Curls with an iron for long hair
Natural and bouncy curls on long hair look more than attractive. The length of the strands allows you to form curls of completely different shapes and volumes. The shape of the resulting curls will depend on the thickness of the strands into which they were divided.
Hair must be combed well and treated with a fixing agent. You need to work with it carefully, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the strands will be glued together, and the finished hairstyle will be ugly.
In order to make the curling process not difficult, it is recommended to divide the hair into two parts. Pin the top strands with clips. And with the lower ones, start working: select one strand at a time, using an iron for curls, make circular movements with the device. For a gentle, romantic look, curl only the bottom half of the strand.
The volume of future curls can be easily adjusted. If you want soft, flying curls, do quick ironing strokes along the strand. If you need a voluminous hairstyle, then you need to start winding your hair from the very roots, slightly pulling it to the sides or up.
It is also worth noting that the volume of the curls depends on the diameter of the ironing tongs. It is recommended to use devices with plates two centimeters wide. The most important thing in the curling process: in no case should you stop abruptly, the device should glide gently and smoothly along the strand. Otherwise, the curls will take an irregular shape. Hair in this case is very easy to burn.
Stylists strongly recommend not using the straightener more than once or twice a month. This process can severely damage the hair structure, making it drier and more brittle.
To prevent the ends of the hair from splitting or exfoliating, treat the strands with heat-protective cosmetics before any use of the iron. Quality hair products will also give your hair shine and smoothness. For a natural looking curl, do not curl it all the way. Step back seven to ten centimeters from the roots and start winding.
In the process of curling, each finished curl can be separately fixed with a clip, or you can collect all the curls at once using a wide hair clip and sprinkle them with varnish.
