Secrets of long-term hair fixation

In order for the styling to last as long as possible, some rules must be taken into account.

2. You can make elastic and "strong" curls with a curling iron if you first apply a little varnish on a strand of hair, and then curl it. If the varnish significantly makes the hairstyle heavier, then instead of it you can use mousse or foam, in addition to good fixation of the curl, these funds will add volume and splendor to the hairstyle.
3. Experienced hairdressers advise using lemon juice to fix the hairstyle, cut the lemon into small pieces and pour in 250 ml of water, all this must be boiled until the liquid is half as much. Then this solution is cooled, poured into a spray bottle and the curls are sprayed after styling.
4. If heat protection makes your hair heavier, you can use a leave-in hair oil such as argan instead. It not only protects against heat, but also gives shine to the hair.
5. To give thin hair root volume without fleece, you can use corrugation. At the roots of the strands, it is necessary to make the smallest corrugation, which will not be noticeable at all, but will give a significant volume to the hair.
6. After finishing styling the hair should be sprayed with varnish from a distance of at least 30-40 cm so that it is evenly distributed and does not cover the hair with a "crust".

At home, you can also make a beautiful evening styling for medium length hair. The main thing is that the hairstyle is in harmony with the outfit and is appropriate for the event.
