Curled locks look gentle, stylish, and well-groomed. They are appropriate at a formal or festive occasion and for everyday wear. Some of us are lucky to have naturally curly hair. Others should put in some effort and use imagination to turn our hair into beautiful curls at home. In this article, we will discuss how to get curls and how to style curled hair.

Curling Your Hair at Home

To get long-lasting curls, you can get a perm in a salon. However, it’s worth trying to curl your hair at home first. This will help you understand whether this look is for you. If not, it’s easy to go back to your natural hair.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A curling iron.
• A round brush. It helps to create large curls.
• A blow dryer.
• Hair curlers. They’ll come in handy if you’re aiming for neat voluminous curls.
• Styling foam/mousse/spray.
• Hair accessories: clips, elastics, twisters, or headbands.

Curling your hair at home step by step:

1. Wash and blow dry your hair.
2. Apply heat protection in the form of spray, cream, or mousse: it will protect your hair from high temperatures.
3. Take a strand 3-4cm wide. If you want textured curls, go for narrower strands. Wide strands will make for large bouncy curls.
4. Apply your styling product in line with the instructions.
5. Wrap the strand around a curling iron set at medium or low temperature (150°С for thin and fragile hair and 180-200°С for thick healthy hair) and wait for five seconds.
6. Gradually get the curling iron out of the strand with smooth circular movements.
7. Raise the curled strand and pin it at the root to get it out of the way.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 for other strands.
9. Let your hair down, secure the curls with a hairspray, applying it from 15-20cm away.

Important! Don’t brush or adjust the curls or the hairstyle will lose shape.

Practical ponytail

A ponytail is an easy and quick hairstyle for long curled hair.

From straight strands:

1. Brush your hair back into a high ponytail and tightly secure it with an elastic.
2. Curl the ponytail strand by strand with a curling iron of any size, and secure the hairstyle with spray.

From curled locks:

1. Make a high ponytail.
2. Secure it with a ribbon or a twisted scarf. An elastic won’t do as it might disturb the curls.

Ponytail wrapped with a twist

1. Make a ponytail, secure it with an elastic.
2. Curl the hair.
3. Take one strand, twist it, and wrap it around the elastic to hide it.
4. Tuck the tip of the twist under the elastic and secure it with grip pins under the curls.

To make your ponytail look more interesting and add volume to the hair, you can puff the hair a bit before doing a ponytail.

For Medium-Length Hair

Medium-length hair looks gorgeous in curls. You can choose from dozens of various hairstyles, from simple curled tips to intricate braiding techniques on curls.

Waves and elegant braiding

You can combine an elegant fishtail braid or a Greek braid with loose wavy strands in one look. If you wear bangs, make slight waves on them as well.

Side-swept hair

Side-swept hair works well in a look with revealing clothes, for example, a dress with straps. It’s better to go for medium curls. When you make your hair wavy, carefully gather it on one side, sweep to the other, and secure it with grip pins.

You can also pin the strands framing the face with small clips on both sides. This hairstyle gives additional volume in the middle.

Curls with a bun

Make a high bun, leaving a couple of strands loose. Curl these strands with a curling iron, then adorn the hair with decorative grips and pins.

For Short Hair

When it comes to curling short hair, take a narrow curling iron. If you don’t secure your curls with a special product, your hairstyle will be too voluminous and messy, so elastics, clips, or twisters are often used on short hair.

Hairstyles on a bob

Here’s a ‘recipe’ for a classic hairstyle for short hair:

1. Curl the hair with a narrow curling iron starting from the top of the head and going down to the shoulders.
2. Shake it up with your hands for slight messiness.

You can also do a side part and sweep your curled hair to one side.

Bun

1. Braid your hair into a French braid and secure it with a clip on the side.
2. Make a bun from the rest of the hair and secure it with pins.
3. Pull out a couple of strands from the bangs and the bun on both sides and curl them with a curling iron.
4. Adjust the strands.

Gatsby hairstyles

If you have short hair, you can rock hairstyles in the style of the 1920s that are also called Gatsby hairstyles. Follow the same instructions as given above, but on your hair length.

Girl’s Hairstyles with Waves

Children’s hairstyles with curls are mostly the same as the ones for adults, especially when it comes to long hair.

Here are the most popular options:

• bouncy curls in the Barbie style;
• any variation of a half updo: with a ponytail, twist, or bun, braids, or a hair bow;
• a stylish waterfall adorned with a beautiful clip or ribbon;
• curled hair decorated with a comb or tiara;
• intricate and fun children’s hairstyles featuring French braids or twists as well as curled loose locks.

Little fashionistas have one important peculiarity: they are impatient and restless. It might be difficult, or even unsafe to do curls on a small head with a curling iron. This is why braids are considered a classic curling method for children.

Anyone can sport hairstyles with curled hair. All you need is to have the necessary styling products, tools, and a little patience. We encourage you to visit the theYou gallery for inspiration.
