Curly hair is beautiful and cute, this hairstyle adds ease and lightness to the girl's image. Having curled curls by nature, you do not need to do styling every day. But only the owners of curly hair know that it takes quite a long time to care for such hair.
Shampoos, balms, creams - all these products need to be selected individually.
Peculiarities
Modern manufacturers of cosmetics pay special attention to products intended for the care of curly hair. A unique option among the wide variety is creams for curly locks. Thanks to the use of this tool, you can "tame" unruly and lush hair. Applying the cream, the curls acquire the desired shape.
You will learn more about caring for curly hair in the following video.
Most products not only flatten the strands, but also restore their structure from the inside. After use, the hair appears more healthy and silky. The product moisturizes and nourishes the curls well from the inside.
Also, the features of hair creams include:
- funds quickly smooth curls without harming the structure;
- hair becomes softer and more manageable;
- most products contain nourishing natural ingredients in the base, which has a positive effect on the structure of the strands.
Another feature of this cosmetic product is its protective properties. After applying the cream, the hair is not affected by ultraviolet rays.
How to choose
Owners of curly strands need to pay attention to choosing the right product. In this case, you should focus on the individual characteristics of the strands. If curls are constantly frizzy, cannot be styled and do not hold their shape, it is best to use a straightener.
It is known that modern girls quite often use various thermal tools in the form of a hair dryer and an iron to create a hairstyle. In this case, you need to choose a care cream that protects the hair from harmful effects.
The use of a product with a thermal protection effect not only facilitates the styling process, but also protects the structure of the curls from the effects of high temperatures.
Often, modern girls and women are faced with problems such as thin and loose strands.
Owners of curls especially often suffer from this, which is due to the presence of a wavy structure. In addition, the ends become brittle and split quickly. Repairing and moisturizing creams will help get rid of such problems. They protect the strands while providing quality care.
As for the choice of cream, special attention should be paid in this matter to the consistency. The composition should be light. A quality product is always quickly absorbed and does not contaminate the hair. The smell of the cream is also important. After using a good option, a light and unobtrusive scent remains on the hair.
How to apply
The rules for using creams for curly hair are somewhat different from the technique for using other care products. Before applying the composition to the curls, they must be thoroughly washed with shampoo. In the presence of other cosmetic products on the hair, the effect of fat content appears, which is detrimental to the hairstyle.
When purchasing a hair cream, carefully read the instructions, since there are two types of these products - rinse-off and indelible formulations - and not all girls and women know about this. If in the first case, after applying the base, the strands need to be rinsed with water, then the use of the second option does not imply these manipulations.
After that, the hair should be lightly dried with a towel. Then you need to apply the cream using a small portion of the product. The composition is distributed evenly over the entire length of the curls, and then combed.
After that, you can proceed to the main process - styling. To tame naughty strands and create curls, you need to lightly dry your hair with a hairdryer. For a complete leveling, you can use an iron. A safer and more gentle way is to pull the curls down with a comb.

Details
Hairstyles with large curls are a great solution for a casual and formal look. There are many ways to get curly hair done at home. Moreover, the speed of creating a hairstyle and the shape of the curl will depend on the chosen tool.
Using one of the suggested options, you will learn how to create romantic waves, passionate curls, frivolous curls and elegant curls.
Preparation for styling
Regardless of how you plan to make large curls, you must first wash your hair.
For any hairstyle, you will need a fine comb to separate the strands and clips to hold in excess hair. Fixation means - foam, mousse, varnish. If you plan to use a curling iron, iron, hair dryer, or heat rollers, be sure to bring brake protection products. Comb - A brush is useful for adding volume.
If your hair does not hold the style well, first apply a salt or sugar spray (for example, Schwarzkopf OSIS) to the damp hair.
Ways to create large curls
Iron
Although this tool is intended for straightening, it can also create spectacular curls. The wider the iron, the larger the curls will turn out.
- Start curling from your face. Separate a strand with a fine comb, remove the rest of the hair and pin it so that it does not interfere.
- Pinch the strand at the roots at a distance of a few centimeters, then turn the iron a little and gently lower to the tip of the strand. In order not to damage the hair structure and leave no creases. Do not squeeze the iron too hard.
- After the hairstyle is ready, sprinkle it with varnish. To give the curls more volume and waviness, first beat the hair with your fingers or gently brush over it.
An important nuance: the slower you iron, the steeper the curl shape will turn out - with a little experimentation, you can determine the optimal time.
Using a curling iron
Making beautiful large curls with a curling iron is quite simple if you follow the technology:
- Separate small strands: this will allow you to get the curls of the optimal shape and elasticity.
- Curl from roots to ends, then the waves will be smooth, without creases.
- In most cases, you need a large curling iron: from 28 to 33 mm - the optimal diameter for creating medium-sized curls, 38 mm and more - for voluminous hair.
After the hair is done, apply the fixing agent to prevent the strands from sticking or distorting.
An important nuance: in order for the styling to keep its shape longer, fix the curled strands with invisible ones. Let the strands cool and remove.
Using curlers
Curlers - good way to get large curls without damaging them. In addition, it is a great alternative to chemistry. Before you start styling, you need to master the technology of wrapping curlers.
- Using clamps, divide the hair into several parts: the back of the head, the crown and the sides. Or use our schemes.
- Start winding from the parietal part, then work on the occipital, temporal and lateral.
- Separate the strand with a fine comb, not wider than the curler, comb it.
- Keep the strand taut perpendicular to your head so that individual hairs do not slip out.
- First, carefully wrap the tip of the strand, then begin to wrap the curlers inward. Bring the hair roll as close to the head as possible and secure.
- When all the hair is curled, dry it with a hairdryer or wait until it dries by itself, and in the case of a thermal curler, let it cool.
- Carefully remove the curlers, sprinkle with varnish and proceed with further styling.
The shape of the curls depends on the type of curler chosen:
Velcro - best type curlers for soft and elastic curls, and the styling lasts as long as possible. Velcro is suitable for all hair types except thick hair and does not cause any harm. They are wound on wet strands: you can dry your hair with a hairdryer or wait until it dries on its own.
Thermo-curlers are preheated, then rolled onto dry and clean hair with applied thermal protection. It is necessary to hold the curlers until they are completely cool, and then carefully remove. The curls are smooth, shiny, but do not last very long. This type of curler is not suitable for soft or fine hair.
Boomerangs are ideal for night use. Large-diameter curlers allow you to curl large curls, and small ones - to get smaller curls. The curlers are suitable for all hair types, create a natural effect, and the resulting hairstyle lasts as long as possible. Cover your hair with a scarf to prevent the curlers from unrolling and slipping out of individual strands.
"Magic" curlers-spirals suitable for all hair types. They represent a spiral cover, into which wet strands are pulled in with the help of a hook with a stick. You can wait until the hair dries on its own and takes the desired shape, and it will last as long as possible. You can also speed up the process by using a hairdryer. You can't sleep in curlers - there will be broken curls.
Velvet curlers equipped with a special coating that prevents tangling and damage to the hair, and when removed, pulling out the hair. The large diameter of these curlers is optimal for making large curls on long hair... They keep their shape well.
Plastic curlers differ from the rest by the presence of special clamps, therefore, in order to fix them yourself, you need skill. As a result, the waves are soft and voluminous. The resulting hairstyle retains its shape for a long time.
A little secret: To make a hairstyle with curls look natural and voluminous, use curlers of different diameters. Use a medium hold polish to hold the curls in. For a crisper texture, apply some gel to your hands and run your fingers over the strands.
Create curls with a hairdryer with a diffuser
To curl with a diffuser, use a bowl with long fingers. The shorter the hair, the smaller the "fingers" should be.
- Lightly dry wet hair with a towel.
- Get a hair dryer with a diffuser, a round comb, and a fixing agent (mousse, spray, or foam).
- With your head tilted back, tuck the strand into the diffuser, then begin to dry, springing closer and further away from the hair dryer. The strands should be wrapped around the "tentacles" of the bowl. Continue until the hair is dry.

Do not overuse fixatives if you do not want the "wet hair" effect.
An important nuance: partly shape the curls yourself when you apply the diffuser to wet hair.
The technique of curling large curls with a brush and hairdryer
She is familiar to everyone who has ever done styling in a salon. To repeat it at home, use a large-diameter round comb, hair dryer, heat shield, hair pins to hold it in place while styling, and a fixing product.
- Divide the hair into four parts: lateral, occipital and crown.
- Start at the back of the head, stabbing the rest of the head. Separate a strand no wider than a comb, and slowly move the brush down, following it with a hairdryer. The more tension and slower movement, the more beautiful, tighter and larger curls will turn out.
- Cool the strand with cold air to fix it.
- After all the strands are rolled up, apply varnish.
Tip: to style large curls, use the concentrator attachment, but do not touch the hair with it, keep the hair dryer at a distance of 2-3 cm. And be sure to use a heat protectant.
Making curls with tourniquets
Tourniquets are another quick way to get a natural, slightly tousled and soft hairstyle. To do this, you need invisibility, mousse and a hair dryer.
- Apply a styling product to damp hair and divide it into strands with a fine comb: the thinner the strand, the finer the curls, so take more hair to create large curls.
- Twist the strand into a tight rope and let it fold. Pin the ends with a hairpin. You can blow-dry your future hairstyle or leave it on until the hair dries on its own.
- After unwinding the harnesses, give the curls the desired shape and fix with varnish.
Bagel or headband for curls
The donut elastic, which is commonly used for babette hairstyles and headbands, is perfect for creating curls.
- Tie your hair into a high ponytail, moisten a little with water from a spray bottle and roll your hair into a bagel.
- Move from the tip of the tail to the roots so that a lush bun appears at the end. It does not require additional fixing.
This hairstyle looks original, so you can walk with it all day, and in the evening, let your hair down and get luxurious large curls.
To get the perfect curl shape, you need to take into account the characteristics of the hair and its length.
- On short hair it is difficult to get large curls, but you can create light curls and waves that look even more interesting than the classic curl. To do this, use varnish or mousse, but in small quantities, so as not to get the effect of needles.
- Medium length allows you to experiment with hairstyles. Medium curls look better on it. But at medium length, it is much easier to restore the shape of the curls if they have blossomed during the day: just collect the bunch for a while, and then dissolve it again. Use the brush for body waves and a more natural look.
- Large curls for long hair require mandatory fixation, otherwise the hairstyle will simply settle under its own weight.
Whichever way you choose to create curls, do not neglect thermal protection and styling products, because only healthy and undamaged hair looks truly beautiful and attractive.
