Hot hair styling.

Hot curling is performed using conventional or electric curling irons. Conventional curling irons are no different in design from the curling irons that were first used in 1871 by the French hairdresser Marcel. Currently, there is a whole set of tongs that differ only in the diameter and shape of the working part.
Hot styling. Hair styling with electric curling irons is performed on dry and clean hair, since using electric curling irons with wet hair is dangerous. And if hairspray or other fixative was applied to the hair the day before, this will greatly damage the structure of the hair - it will lose its shine, will be dry and brittle.
Order of operations:
-separate the strand with a comb, grab it at the roots with tongs, place it between the roller of the tongs and the clamp;
- warm up, moving the tongs along the entire length of the strand, and twist the hair onto the roller of the tongs. To avoid burning your scalp, place a comb under the strand of hair you are currently curling.
- hold for 20 - 30 seconds and carefully pull the curling iron out of the curl, opening it slightly;
- perform this operation on all areas of the head where it is desirable to get curls;
- Having received the tube curls, you can begin final styling. If necessary, use blunting, backcombing, hairpins, pins, etc.
- fix the hairstyle. (let me sketch the picture, page 47, fig. 3.6)
Hair styling with corrugated curling irons. With the help of crimping curling irons, you can achieve a variety of effects on straight hair; you can use them to curl entire hair or individual strands. Before styling, hair should be washed, rinsed with conditioner and blow-dried, and then applied styling liquid. You can apply a fixative before blow-drying.
The hair is separated into small strands and placed between the plates of the tongs. After heating the hair for a few seconds, the tongs are opened and moved along the strand to the next section. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the plates fit tightly to the hair.
Corrugating pliers have a set of plates with different corrugation effects (shallow, deep, wide, narrow). The appearance of the corrugation will also change depending on the thickness of the strands being processed.
Styling hair with flat curling irons. The purpose of this styling is to straighten the hair. After using them, the hair becomes completely straight.
To achieve this effect, hair should be washed and styled with a hairdryer without drying it dry. The strands are then pulled between the flat surfaces of the heated plates. Finally, wax or pomade is applied to the hair, and the hairstyle is fixed with varnish.
It is not advisable to use a straightener on permed hair - such exposure can worsen the hair structure and the beauty of the curl.
Precautions when working with electric tongs.
Electric tongs should always be clean.
To avoid scalp burns, the comb should be held between the tongs and the head. The comb itself should not be metal, as it can also heat up and burn the skin.
Do not overheat the electric curling iron too much to avoid damaging your hair.
You should not inhale the smoke coming from electric tongs - it is harmful to your lungs.
Keep hot tongs in a safe place so as not to burn your hands or drop them.

Exercises for arm flexibility.
To make your arms more flexible and your fingers more mobile, you need to do simple exercises and massage. You can do them a couple of times a day. It’s better to start with intense rubbing of your palms against each other, then massage your hands and each finger separately with rubbing movements, moving from the base to the tips. Several times at a fast pace, clench your fingers into fists and unclench them. Rotate your brushes 5-6 times, first in one direction, then in the other direction. Clasp your hands and rotate your hands in the joints. Keeping your hands locked, turn them with your palms facing away from you, then return them to their original position, repeat several times. Performing these exercises, as well as massage, will increase blood flow to the hands, increase the elasticity of the ligaments, and make the joints more mobile.

Hair styling is the process of curling hair for a short period of time.

Hair styling consists of various operations that can be used to create hairstyles of any shape and pattern.

There are several ways to style your hair:

• cold styling (styling with a comb and fingers, styling with curlers);

• air styling (styling with a brush and hair dryer);
• hot styling (styling with tongs);
• combined styling (laying in different ways).

The length of time the style is maintained will depend on many factors, such as: hair structure, its elasticity and elasticity; selected tools and their diameter; styling composition; weather.

Let's first look at the basic elements of a hairstyle. Parting- the most common hairstyle element; is a straight line dividing the scalp into two equal or unequal parts. Partings can be straight, side and curly:

• A straight parting divides the scalp into two equal parts;
• lateral - into two unequal parts and most often runs from the frontal recesses to the highest point of the head;
• a curly parting consists of several straight lines forming various patterns.

Half parting- shortened parting line. It can also be straight, side or curly.

Wave- this is a part of the hairstyle that has a smooth bend and is limited on both sides by crowns; crown - the highest wave line where the hair reverses its direction. The crown can be high and low, narrow and wide. The narrower and higher the crown, the longer the hairstyle lasts.

In relation to the face, the waves can be protruding or reverse. The protruding waves are directed towards the face and extend beyond the hairline. Reverse waves are deployed from the face.

In relation to the parting, the waves are straight, oblique and transverse. Straight waves are located at an angle of 45° to the parting; oblique waves - parallel to the parting; transverse - perpendicular to the imaginary parting.

The sizes of the waves are wide and narrow, shallow and deep. The narrower and deeper the wave, the longer the hairstyle will last. The optimal wave width is 2 cm.

Curl- a strand of hair curled into a tube. According to their location on the head, curls are distinguished into vertical, horizontal, and descending. According to the principle of curling, curls can be curled up, down, figure eight, half eight.

Cold hair styling. Styling with a comb and fingers has been used for a very long time. This style does not harm the hair. This installation method allows you to widely vary the width and depth of the waves. Use the following order of operations:

• moisten hair with styling fixative and comb thoroughly from the forehead back. If there is a parting, then comb from the parting in the direction of the distribution of the hair in the styling;
• insert the comb at the hairline above the forehead or at the parting and move the comb to the side (Fig. 3.2, a). The result will be the first half wave. Hold the comb in your right hand in the third way (see subsection 2.1);

Rice. 3.2. Performing cold hair styling:
a - half wave; b - one wave; c - two waves

• With your left hand (index finger or edge of the palm and little finger) press half-wave hair along the comb to the scalp. Move the comb forward in your hair and move it in the opposite direction (Fig. 3.2, b). Remove your left hand from the pressed half-wave strand and press the second half-wave. You will get one wave;
• then again, with your left hand, press the half-wave hair along the comb to the scalp, move the comb to the side. The result will be the third half-wave.
• repeat the movements of the comb back and forth and pressing the hair with your hand until the desired number of waves is obtained;
• Having laid one section of the head in waves, move to another, continuing to style the hair in the same way (Fig. 3.2, c).

When styling in some places, so that the half-waves and waves do not move, they need to be fixed with clips and hairpins, but care must be taken to ensure that there are no hair creases left.

Rice. 3.3. Types of fixation of flat rings

For very short hair on the back of the head, you can style it in the form of flat rings:

• Apply styling fixative to hair;
• Use your thumb and forefinger to twist the strand clockwise or counterclockwise and secure with one or two thin pins, clips, clips, or invisible pins (Fig. 3.3);
• choose the width of the rings 1.5x1.5 or 2x2 cm. Twist clockwise in one row, counterclockwise in the other, etc.

Hair styling with curlers currently not very relevant in salons and hairdressing salons. However, there will always be clients who prefer this type of styling. In addition, modern types of curlers allow you to get beautiful natural curls, especially on long hair. By using various styling products (hair styling), you can diversify the client’s appearance. To do this, it is important to choose the correct diameter of the curlers, wind them correctly and dry them correctly, as well as comb your hair. For example, by combing your curls with brushes, you can pull out the strands, or you can simply separate the curls with your fingers and spray them with varnish, thereby obtaining a modern style of styling. When using thin curlers, the curls will always be small and bouncy. Medium curlers on short hair will simply add fluffiness and volume to the hairstyle, on medium-length hair - large waviness, and on long hair - soft waves. Large rollers can be used to straighten curly hair. Styling with curlers is always done on damp (for example, moistened with styling compound) hair.

Rules for curling hair with curlers:

• before curling, the hair is divided into zones depending on the chosen layout of the curlers;
• the thickness of the strand should not exceed the diameter of the curler;
• the width of the strand should be slightly less than the length of the curler;
• to lift the root of the strand, the strand is pulled at approximately an angle of 90° to the surface of the head;
• rotate the curlers so that the hair is evenly distributed along the plane of the curlers;
• when curling, maintain uniform hair tension;
• Depending on the type of curlers, they are secured with an elastic band or hairpin.

Rice. 3.4. Various schemes for curling hair with curlers

In Fig. 3.4 shows diagrams for curling hair with curlers. After all the hair is curled, the client is put on a hair net and seated under the dryer. Before unwinding the curlers, they are allowed to cool for better fixation of the curls. The curlers begin to unwind from the lower occipital area so that the hair does not get tangled. Then start combing your hair.

At the client's request, after wrapping, the hair can be combed or blunted. To give your hair a smoother shape, you can use styling gel or wax. To preserve volume for a longer period of time, the hairstyle is fixed with varnish.

Air styling. Hair styling with a brush and hair dryer is carried out depending on the length of the hair.

Blow-drying to lift the roots using a flat skeletal brush is called bombing. It is used in both men's and women's rooms when performing everyday evening and model hairstyles.

The order of operations is as follows:

• The strand is grabbed with a brush at the root, against hair growth, for maximum lift. A stream of air is directed onto the strand tangentially to the head and the resulting hair crease is fixed. Allow this section of the strand to cool on the brush until completely dry;
• The entire length of the strand is pulled with a brush, directing the hair dryer jet in the direction of the lines of the intended hairstyle. After this, remove the brush from the dried strand of hair;
• In the same way, they continue to perform styling on other parts of the head, gradually moving from the occipital zone to the frontal one.

Use a round brush to shape the ends of your hair or straighten curly hair. This installation method is called brushing, it only applies to the women's room.

A hairdryer is convenient for styling hair of any length. Hairstyles with short hair will be more voluminous and will last longer if the hair is moistened at the roots with gel, liquid hairspray or styling foam.

Blow-drying requires special care. You need to dry your hair very carefully, trying to ensure that already dried hair does not come into contact with wet hair; clearly work out all the details, while simultaneously creating a three-dimensional shape of the hairstyle and making sure that the air stream does not burn the skin. To do this, it is recommended to direct the air stream along a tangent line to the head, from the roots to the ends of the strand. After styling, comb the hair with a wide-toothed comb.

Using a comb, a flat brush and a hairdryer, you can create waves. To do this, hold the comb perpendicular to the separated strand, insert the teeth of the brush into the hair at a distance of two to three fingers' width and move it slightly to the right. This is how the first wave is formed. Then the comb is turned with its teeth up, tilted towards itself and dried with a stream of air, directing it to the left. The second wave is obtained in the same way, changing the direction of the brush and hair dryer. The comb is moved to the left 1 cm and turned towards itself. The hair is dried with a hair dryer directed to the right.

You can start styling from the parietal area of ​​the head or from the parting. The brush is held parallel to the head, grabbing a strand of hair, the hair is lifted at the roots and turned slightly toward itself, after which the brush is moved away from the parting, gradually drying the hair along the entire brush. This technique is repeated several times to give the hair the desired shape.

You can wind long strands on a round brush and dry each strand first from the outside and then from the inside. To do this, comb the strand with your left hand, slightly twisting the brush, as a result of which the hair is well fixed to the brush, taking the shape of a curl. In this case, the hair will curl beautifully downward, without giving the impression of being curled in curlers (Fig. 3.5).

Rice. 3.5. Styling hair with a round brush

Hot styling. Hair styling with electric curling irons is performed only on dry and clean hair, since using electric curling irons with wet hair is dangerous. And if hairspray or other fixative was applied to the hair the day before, this will greatly damage the hair structure - it will lose its shine, become dry and brittle.

The order of operations is as follows:

• Separate the strand with a comb, grab it at the roots of the hair with tongs, place it between the roller of the tongs and the clamp;
• warm up by moving the tongs along the entire length of the strand, and wind the hair onto the roller of the tongs. To avoid burning your scalp, place a comb under the strand of hair that is currently being twisted (Fig. 3.6);

Rice. 3.6. Hair styling with electric curling irons

• hold for 20 - 30 s and carefully remove the tongs from the curl. The direction of curling with electric curling irons should be determined by the desired result of the future hairstyle;
• perform this operation on all areas of the head where it is desirable to get curls;
• Having received tube curls, you can begin final styling. If necessary, use blunting, backcombing, hairpins, pins, etc.;
• fix the hairstyle.

It should be noted that daily use of electric curling irons is not recommended, as the hair becomes very dry.

Combing and blunting hair. These operations are necessary to design some models of modern hairstyles. When performing both operations, use a comb with teeth of different heights.

Combing is the dense beating of hair over the entire width and thickness of the strand being processed. When combing, the strand is processed both from the inside and from the outside. When starting to comb, first of all, use a ponytail comb to separate a strand on the desired area of ​​the scalp. Then grab the middle part of the strand between the middle (or thumb) and index fingers of the left hand and pull it perpendicular to the surface of the head. Next, bring the comb into the strand of hair at a distance of 5 - 6 cm from its base. Then, by moving the comb towards the base of the strands, combing begins. The movement of the comb down to the base of the strand is stopped at the first feeling of its braking, and each subsequent time the comb will stop further and further from the base of the strand. These movements are usually repeated several times, and each time the comb is inserted 1 - 2 cm higher. At the same time, the left hand holding the strand of hair is also moved upward, towards the ends of the strand. Move the fingers of your left hand up the strand and insert the comb into your hair in a coordinated manner. The movement of the hand with the comb is performed in a circle. Using these techniques, a strand of hair is processed on both sides.

Touping is beating the hair only half the thickness of the strand. Tuping can be thought of as part of backcombing. When performing blunting, a strand of hair is usually pulled not perpendicular to the combing surface, but in the direction in which it will lie in the hairstyle. In this case, the comb is not inserted to its full thickness, but so that its teeth in no case protrude from the outside of the strand. Using this technique, a strand of hair is processed only on the side that will be internal in the hairstyle.

Hair has two important properties: hygroscopicity - the ability to absorb moisture and elasticity - the ability to change shape under the influence of heat. Hair curling is based on this last property - elasticity. Under the influence of hot tongs, the moisture evaporates and the hair takes the shape that the master gives it.

The stronger the heating of the curling iron, the more moisture is removed from the hair and the stronger the curl becomes. But when curling, the hairdresser must be very careful and not allow the curling iron to overheat, so as not to burn the hair.

Using hot curling irons you can create deep and beautiful waves; you can curl your scalp hair, beard and mustache.

To learn hot curling techniques, you need to have locks of hair or wigs. The lock or wig must be firmly attached to a blank, soft pillow or training board. When training in cold curling, the fingers of the master’s hand press and hold the strand, and during hot curling, the strand is constantly pulled back with tongs. Therefore, wigs are put on blanks, strengthening them tightly on all sides. Then the blanks are put on stands - tripod or tabletop (Fig. 88).

Curling irons for men's hair are used in different numbers, since hair comes in different lengths and qualities. You need to have one pair of thin tongs and two tongs of brands C and D, since when creating a wave they must be heated alternately.

Learning the techniques of curling hair products begins with pulling hair and curling curls, and then moves on to creating a wave on a strand of hair.

Working with electric tongs

Styling hair with curling irons

In order to learn how to master a curling iron perfectly, you need long, systematic training. The master must be able to hold the tongs correctly in his hand, as well as quickly and easily rotate them in the palm of his hand both clockwise and counterclockwise while squeezing and unclenching the working parts.

You need to hold the tongs with your right hand, with the handle of the tongs lying on the palm, placed between the thumb and forefinger. The working part of the forceps should be located on the side of the thumb and index finger.

If you need to turn the forceps clockwise, they are placed in their original position in the right hand and begin to turn with the entire hand of the right hand.

So, it is necessary to master the techniques of using tongs so much that you can easily, effortlessly turn the tongs in any direction, leaving the working part closed, and also open and close them simultaneously with turns.

There are two types of tongs: electric tongs, which do not require additional heating, and Marcel tongs, which require additional heating.

Electric curling irons are used only for creating curls and differ in diameter. Currently, there are electric tongs of various shapes.

Triangular curling irons have a triangular-shaped clip that allows you to create curls with a sharp crease and leave the hair straight at the ends.

Spiral curling irons are equipped with a metal spiral that goes around the barrel of the curling iron and prevents the curls from tangling.

Zigzag curling irons allow you to get clearly defined curls with curled ends.

Wavemaker tongs are similar to regular tongs, but their heating plates are grooved, allowing you to produce steep waves of a certain width.

Straightening tongs with flat heating plates.

Marcel curling irons, designed for creating waves and curls, are more versatile.

They consist of three parts: a handle-roller, a handle-gutter and a fastening pin. A pin divides the pliers into working blades and handles.

The working blades of the tongs are made of heat-intensive alloys that retain heat for a long time. The handles are made of alloys that do not conduct heat.

Before starting work, to determine the heating temperature of the tongs, use a piece of paper, which is clamped between the sheets. If a clear mark remains on the paper, but its color has not changed, the tongs are ready for use, but if the color of the paper under the work sheets has changed, the tongs must be cooled.

When working, the tongs are held in the right hand, with the trench handle at the bottom and the roller handle at the top. The thumb covers the gutter handle; the index, middle and ring fingers cover the handle-roller; The little finger opens the tongs. See Appendix 2

A) Hair styling using the figure-eight (half-eight) method

Laying curls using the "Figure Eight" method

To curl your hair into ringlets using the figure-eight method, you need a hair length of at least 20 cm. The hair is thoroughly combed until the teeth of the comb begin to pass freely from the base to the ends of the strand. After this, it is necessary to determine the number of curls and their location on the strand.

A strand of hair is taken in the left hand. Tongs heated to the desired temperature are applied to the strands. The groove of the curling iron can be at the top or bottom, depending on which direction the curl is curled. If the curl is twisted in a “downward” manner, then the groove is located on top and the roller on the bottom.

Just as when curling hair using the “down” method, then grab the strand with the working part of the curling iron, turning it half-turn towards you. Immediately you need to make a full turn with the tongs, stopping them in such a position that the roller is turned towards the base of the strand. At this moment, you need to slightly pull the strand of hair with your left hand.

After this, the curl is processed in the same way as when curling using the “down” method.

When the curling iron begins to rotate in the right hand, with the left hand, bring the ends of the hair down on the other side of the strand, making a figure eight with it.

It turns out that if during the first turn of the curling iron the ends of the hair, wrapping around them, were on the left side of the strand, then during the second turn they will be on the right. With each new turn of the curling iron, the ends of the hair change their position, being either to the left or to the right relative to the strand being twisted.

With this method of curling, the ends of the hair are constantly located in the middle part of the working surfaces of the curling iron, which provides the most favorable conditions for curling. The ends of the curl are processed in the same way as they were done with other methods of curling curls.

The figure eight curling method can be performed by holding the curling iron vertically and curling the hair around it in a spiral manner.

Curls are shaped only after they have cooled completely. First, the curl is combed with a comb with rare teeth, and then with frequent ones.

B) Drop curls

Curling hair into curls using the "down" method is performed as follows. A quarter is separated from the total mass of hair. This is done in this way: first, the entire strand is divided into two parts in width, then one of the halves is divided in half again, but not in width, but in thickness. The first top curl should be curled from the outer layer of hair. When curling hair into curls using the “down” method, the roller of the curling iron is located at the bottom, and the groove is at the top. In this position, the tongs are brought to the base of the strand.

At the moment of grasping a strand of hair with the working part of the tongs, they must be turned half-turn towards you. With this position of the tongs, there will be no bending of the strand at the point where it is grasped by the tongs, i.e., the edge of the groove of the tongs will not leave a transverse mark on the strand. It must be remembered that this position of the curling iron is mandatory at all stages of hair treatment with curling irons.

A strand of hair must be grabbed with tongs directly at the place where you want to place the curl. As soon as the hair is inserted between the groove and the roller of the tongs, you need to lightly squeeze the handles of the tongs and pull them back. During the pull, the hot tongs seem to stroke the hair and warm it up slightly. As a result of this procedure, the hair becomes more flexible. Typically, the tongs are pulled away from the place where the strands are grabbed at a distance corresponding to one or two of their turns. Immediately after this, you need to make one or two turns with them, so that the tongs are at the place of the strand where the curl should be located. At this time, the fingers of the left hand hold the ends of the hair, slightly pulling them.

Now the curled part of the hair is processed. The tongs are opened slightly and then closed. This movement, repeated often and quickly, helps to evenly distribute the hair over the working surface of the curling iron and heat it to its full thickness.

The tongs must be pulled back to such a distance that will allow them to return to their previous position in one full turn, i.e., to the place where they initially grabbed the strand of hair. These movements should be repeated in the same order until the ends of the hair are caught between the groove and the roller. At this moment, you should not do any pulling.

Finish curling the curl as follows: turn the curling iron towards you in the direction of curling the curl until they begin to scroll through the curl freely, without resistance. At this point they can be carefully removed. In this case, you need to make sure that the ends of the hair remain in the middle of the curl.

To prevent the curl from developing, it must be secured with a clip. If this is not done, then under the influence of its own gravity, while still hot after curling, it will certainly sag.

After this, you should begin curling the next curl. The entire strand of hair is curled in this way. In this case, the main attention should be paid to ensuring that all the curls of the first row are located on the same straight line (horizontally), and the curls of the second row are below them.

Depending on the hairstyle, the curls may be positioned differently. But at the stage of mastering the skills of curling with curling irons, first of all, it is necessary to achieve the ability to position them symmetrically.

Despite the huge variety of existing hairstyles, their main elements are waves and curls. Changes in their appearance or relative position also lead to changes in hairstyle.

The hairstyle is made only from waves or only from curls - in any case, it can be original and unique. But the most popular hairstyles are those that combine waves and curls. The alternation of these elements, as well as their modification in individual areas of the scalp, gives each hairstyle its originality and originality.

Hair Styling- This is a perm for a short time, as a result of which the structure of the hair changes. It consists of several operations with the help of which hairstyles of various shapes and patterns are performed. The duration of preservation of the styling depends on:

ü hair structure;

ü their elasticity and elasticity;

ü selected tools and devices;

ü modeling agent;

ü weather conditions

According to the method of making the hairstyle, styling can be:

1. Cold styling (styling with a comb and fingers).
2. Air styling (styling with a brush and hair dryer).
3. Hot styling (styling with electric curling irons and using curlers).
4. Combined styling (styling that combines 2 or more methods).

Cold styling hair has been used for a very long time. One of the advantages of this method is its harmlessness. Hair is not damaged with this styling method, as it is not subjected to high temperature and chemical treatment. You can even, on the contrary, improve the condition of your hair if you use high-quality traditional compositions of plant origin or new modern products specifically designed for this and containing herbal, mineral and other useful additives to fix the style.

The cold styling method allows you to diversify the composition of your hairstyle, since in this case, using different combinations of individual elements (for example, types and sizes of waves), the hairdresser can create different shapes of the hairstyle and change its pattern.

When performing cold styling, strands of hair, pre-treated with a special fixing agent, are styled using hands and a comb. Styling done using this method, also called “finger styling,” lasts for a short time.

The procedure for performing cold hair styling depends on the originally conceived shape of the hairstyle, its design (sketch) and other factors. For example, in the process of forming individual elements that make up a hairstyle, aerosol hairsprays can be used for the purpose of intermediate fastening of waves and strands. This technique, helping to draw a hairstyle step by step, allows you to create a certain shape. The shape of a cold styled hairstyle will be better preserved if you use a special mesh when drying your hair. After drying, the net is removed and the hair is shaped into a hairstyle using a comb, giving it fullness and naturalness. The final shape of the hairstyle is fixed with hairspray.

Depending on the shape of the hairstyle, the elements of its components, the individual characteristics of the hair and some other factors, the styling order may vary. The professional skill and creativity of the hairdresser play a huge role here.

Distinctive features of modern cold styling:

1. A hairstyle can combine several types of waves (straight, oblique, transverse).
2. The shape of the hairstyle is made up of waves of different widths.
3. Using a non-classical method of connecting waves.
4. Using a curly parting.
5. Using decorative additions of modern stylized shapes to design hairstyles.
6. The use of a variety of modeling products produced by domestic and foreign perfumery and cosmetics companies.

The most common element of a hairstyle, which is performed in a cold way, is a wave (a smooth bend of the hair, limited on both sides by crowns). They have distinctive features depending on their location, size and method of execution.

Technological features of execution " direct wave"are as follows: the waves are parallel to the parting. The first crown on the larger side of the parting reaches the end of the parting and ends there. The second crown on the larger side of the parting extends to join the first crown on the smaller side of the parting (Fig. 1). When performing a hairstyle, use a combined large comb and a fixing hair styling product.

Laying is carried out in the following order:

2. Then the styling compound is evenly applied to them and a parting is made, which determines the direction of the future wave.

3. The first wave is performed on the larger side of the parting. This is a reverse wave.

4. Next, stepping back 2 - 3 cm from the parting, the index finger of the left hand is placed on the resulting wave. A comb is inserted into the hair perpendicular to the finger and moved away from the face by 1-1.5 cm. Then the comb is turned towards itself and the resulting crown is clamped with the index and middle fingers of the left hand, after which the hair is pulled back with the comb in the opposite direction and smoothed with the hem. This is how you get a second, protruding wave on the larger side of the parting.

5. Gradually moving in this way to the highest point of the head (crown), perform the first crown, which ends at the end of the parting.

6. Similarly, perform the second crown on the larger side of the parting.

7. The peculiarity of performing the above techniques is that the hair must be combed in the direction from the face to form a reverse wave on the larger side of the parting.

8. The second crown on the larger side of the parting passes through the crown and connects with the first crown formed on the smaller side of the parting. Consistently repeating the considered styling techniques, complete the “Straight Waves” hairstyle.

9. On the larger side, protruding waves are visible - frontal, temporal, buccal, and on the smaller side of the parting - only temporal and buccal.

10. In the area of ​​the ears, in order to avoid damaging them, waves must be performed with special care and caution.

11. Very short hair in the nape area can be styled by forming flat rings from individual strands 1.5 or 2 cm wide. Using the thumb and forefinger, the strands are twisted in one direction or the other and secured with clips or hairpins. This way, you get clear waves that complement the overall composition of the hairstyle.

12. If the hair in the back of the head is very long, it can be styled in the form of ring curls and secured with curlers.

Features of styling in relation to the parting: the composition of this hairstyle is characterized by the fact that oblique waves are located on the larger side of the parting, and straight ones on the smaller side.

Laying "oblique wave" performed in the following order:

1. First, comb the hair thoroughly.

2. Then a hair styling fixative is evenly applied to them and a side parting is made.

3. Using the techniques described for styling “Straight hair,” perform the first (preparatory) wave and obtain the first crown on the larger side of the parting. This crown is positioned at an angle of 45° relative to the parting and is directed into the first third of the parting.

4. Then, on the larger side of the parting, a protruding wave and a second crown are made, directed towards the second third of the parting.

5. The third crown performed is directed to the end of the parting.

6. The fourth crown on the larger side of the parting is connected to the first crown on the smaller side.

Air styling. Hairstyles with short hair turn out more voluminous and last longer if you moisten the hair at the roots with gel, varnish or foam before styling with a hairdryer. A hairdryer is convenient for styling hair of any length.

When styling with a hairdryer, you need to dry your hair very carefully and try not to let the dried strands come into contact with the wet ones. You should also clearly work out all the details of the hairstyle and, when creating volume, strictly ensure that the air stream does not burn the skin.

After blow-drying, comb the hair only with a combination comb or a comb with a regular handle. When styling hair using a hair dryer, depending on the length of the hair, use a comb, as well as a round or flat brush.

Performing a small hairstyle with a flat brush.

Flat brushes are designed to lift hair at the roots, i.e. creating a hairstyle. This styling method, called “bombing,” is used in men’s and women’s rooms when performing evening and model hairstyles.

1. When performing blow-drying with a flat brush (Fig. 1), you first need to comb your hair and outline the direction of the main lines of the future hairstyle. Then, holding the brush with its teeth down, it is inserted into the hair strand from the inside. Moreover, styling begins from the lower occipital zone. Blow drying techniques with a paddle brush
2. Having grabbed the strand with a brush, it is slightly lifted up, while the hair should be stretched by the first row of brush teeth facing the inside of the strand.
3. Next, direct a stream of air onto the strand, fixing the resulting hair crease. The treated strand should remain on the brush until completely dry. Then the end of this strand is pulled with a brush and hairdryer in the direction of the lines of the intended hairstyle, after which the brush is removed from the dried strand of hair.
4. All hair is treated in the same way, gradually moving from the back of the head to the front.

Hairstyle using a round brush

Using a round brush and hair dryer, shape the ends of the hair.

This styling method is called “brushing” and is used in the women's room. The installation technology is as follows.

1. The brush is inserted into the hair strand from the inside. Moreover, styling begins from the parietal zone.
2. Then the strand captured by the brush is pulled in the direction opposite to the comb of the hair of the future hairstyle, and, directing a stream of hot air to the root part of the strand, it is dried.
3. Next, the brush is advanced, turning it constantly downwards. Smoothly bending the end of the strand and drying it, change the direction of the air stream, i.e. Allow the strands to cool on the brush.
4. Having pulled the brush out of the cooled strand, style the hair in the same way on all areas of the head where the hairstyle should have increased volume.

Making waves using a flat brush and comb

The technology for making waves with a hairdryer using a flat brush and comb is as follows.

1. Holding a separated strand of hair with a comb directed perpendicular to the head, insert the teeth of the brush into it and, grabbing the hair the width of two or three fingers, slightly move the strand to the right. In this case, the first wave is formed.
2. Then, turning the brush and lifting the hair at the roots, dry the raised strand with an air flow directed to the left. Rice. 2. Hairdryer waves.
3. The second wave is performed in a similar way, only changing the direction of movement of the brush and the flow of hot air, i.e. the brush is moved to the left 1 cm and turned towards itself, and the hair is dried with an air flow directed to the right side.
4. Laying the waves begins from the parietal area of ​​the head or from the parting. The brush is held parallel to the head. Having grabbed the next strand, lift the hair at the roots and turn it slightly towards itself, after which they move the brush away from the parting and gradually dry the hair along it. This technique is repeated several times, giving the hair the desired shape.
5. Long strands can be wound onto a round brush, drying each strand first from the outside and then from the inside. In this case, the brush is held in the left hand and, having grabbed a strand, the brush is slightly twisted, as a result of which the hair is well fixed to it and takes the shape of a curl. In this case, the styled hair bends beautifully downwards, giving the impression of a natural wave (Fig. 2).

The techniques for performing the main elements of this installation (crowns, waves) are also similar to the techniques used when installing a “straight wave”. A distinctive feature of the composition of this hairstyle is the perpendicular arrangement of the waves in relation to the imaginary parting. The technological feature of this installation is that the waves are made without connection. The waves located near the face are narrow, and then, in the occipital zone, they gradually widen.

Hair styling done with curlers lasts much longer than using a hair dryer.

Styling with curlers is recommended in cases where the hair is porous, which means it quickly absorbs moisture and quickly becomes dry, and if it is pliable and elastic. If the hair has a structure with increased elasticity and a tendency to “stick out” with a strand length of up to 5 cm, then it is better to first subject such hair to chemical treatment (perm).

The beauty and naturalness of a hairstyle styled with curlers always depends on the curling technique and the type of curlers.

When using thin curlers, the curls will always be small and elastic, and the hairstyle will last quite a long time.

The use of medium curlers on short hair (Fig. 1) allows you to give the hairstyle pomp and volume; on medium-length hair it allows you to get large waves, and on long hair - soft waves.

Rice. 1. Styling short hair with medium curlers

Large curlers are used only for curling long and semi-long hair to give the hair volume and shape (Fig. 2).

Thus, the volume of the hairstyle depends on the size of the curlers: the smaller they are, the greater the volume, and vice versa. Hair that is wet or moistened with styling compound is always curled onto curlers.

Before curling, the hair is divided into zones in accordance with the chosen curling pattern. Some cheating schemes are shown in Fig. 3-5.

2. Having lifted the strand, it must be positioned at approximately 45° to the surface of the head (i.e., pulled back), and then wrap the tip of the strand around the curler. Then, holding the end of the strand, use the thumbs and forefingers of both hands to rotate the curlers so that the hair is evenly distributed along its entire length, and secure the strands with an elastic band or hairpin, depending on the design.

3. After all the hair has been curled, it is necessary to put a special net on it and sit the client under a dryer. After some time, the master should check whether the hair has dried well. If your hair is not completely dried, your hairstyle will not retain its shape for long. However, over-dried hair also does not contribute to long-term styling. For better fixation of curls, before unwinding the curlers, you need to let them cool.

4. Start rolling the curlers from the lower occipital area so that the hair does not get tangled.

5. Then they start combing the hair, which is a very important stage of styling. The resulting curls are carefully combed with two brushes, starting from the ends, and at the same time pulled back.

7. To give your hair a smoother shape, you can use hair styling gel or wax.

8. To preserve volume for a longer period of time, fix the hairstyle with varnish.

Hot styling. Much less often than other traditional hair styling methods, hot perm is used, i.e. hair styling using electric curling irons.

This style is more suitable for long straight or slightly curly hair, cut in a cascade or at the same length. Moreover, to style thin hair, you need to take curling irons with a small diameter - then the curl will be elastic and long-lasting.

The strands are wound spirally onto the tongs. To protect your hair from heat, it is best to use mousse.
