Small curls create a playful and relaxed look. Perfect for those with a regular and rounded face.

Hollywood waves create a luxurious and shiny look. The hairstyle suits all face types except square ones. For the elongated or oval type, it is recommended to perform asymmetrical styling on one side.

Types of curls for each face shape:

1. Oval face - medium to large curls.
2. Round face - curls up to the level of the cheekbones of fine perm.
3. Square - waves at the crown, laid from the face.
4. Triangular face - big curls, Hollywood wave.
5. Trapezoidal face - small careless curls in the temple area and on the crown.

The hairstyle can be created for a short or long term. Styling for the day is done with a curling iron, curling, curler or hair dryer. A curl for 1 - 3 months is created thanks to biowave or chemistry.

Chemistry, carving, biowave

Curls for short hair (photo is located in the text) are performed in different ways: chemistry, carving or biowave.

Treatments for creating curls:

• Perm - applying the chemical composition to the hair, twisting the strands using round tools of the desired size. Chemical solutions can be acidic, neutral or alkaline.

The most resistant chemistry is made on the basis of wine hydroxy acid obtained from berries and fruits. The most gentle - alkaline based on glyceryl monostearate and natural ingredients. The most harmful is alkaline with ammonia.

• Carving - long-term volumetric styling of curls using a gentle solution (as opposed to chemistry). The main purpose of carving is to add fluffiness to hair by curling.
• Biowave - the procedure for creating elastic curls using a gentle solution. After biochemistry, the hair remains curly for a long time, but at the same time healthy, thanks to the fixing composition.

All 3 procedures are performed using various cylindrical devices.

Short hair curler

Hair curlers differ in diameter, length and method of attachment to the hair.

Kinds:

1. Adhesive tape curlers ("Hedgehogs") stick to the hair due to small spines. They do not require additional clamps, so the styling is natural without abrupt transitions. The disadvantage of this type is injury to the hair when removed from the strand, which is why constant use is not recommended. Curls straighten quickly, styling takes on a light wave.
2. Thermo curlers change the curvature of the hair by increasing the temperature. The styling lasts for a long time, curls have a steep curl. A distinction is made between electric heated hair rollers and water heated hair rollers. Both options are made of plastic and paraffin. Under the influence of heating, the paraffin melts, gives off heat to the hair, and forms a curl.
3. Soft curlers (foam) made of foam rubber and a thin clip. They allow you to perm at night and get curls in the morning. The safest type of curler.
4. Hair curlers - boomerangs are a wire core and an outer part of foam rubber. They are used to obtain a fine curl.
5. Velvet curlers - papillotes with pile application. They do not harm the hair structure, while keeping the curl well. They require the experience of the master, since due to the coating they easily slide off the strands.
