Do-it-yourself waves for short hair. We choose styling products to create waves. Video: waves using cold undulation

If you have an important event planned for the evening and you want to get a new hairstyle, think about how to make light waves on your hair.

You can create them in different ways and on hair of different lengths.

curling iron

It is most convenient to use a curling iron on long and medium hair. Before you start curling, it is better to wash your hair and dry it with a towel. It is recommended not to use a hair dryer, so as not to expose the hair to thermal effects.

Keep in mind, the more thoroughly you dry your curls, the longer the waves made will stay on them. However, to give them lightness, it is better to leave the hair a little underdone.

When you prepare your hair, apply a special fixative to the roots. It is necessary so that later you can give your hairstyle the volume you need. It will be more convenient if you divide all the strands into the lower and upper parts.

At the end of the curl, shake the curls slightly and comb them with a brush with large teeth. If desired, it is allowed to fix the result with hairspray.

iron

You can make light waves for short and long hair with a special iron, with which you usually align the strands.

First, comb your hair, then separate one thin strand, which you intercept in the middle with an iron. Gently wrap this strand around the appliance, twisting it 360 degrees. Then slowly lower the iron to the tips, after which you can continue to process the rest of the strands in exactly the same way.

When all the strands are twisted, sprinkle them with a small amount of varnish.

hair dryer

With the help of cold blow-drying, mousse and clips, you can create light waves on any hair, but this effect looks most beautiful on short hair.

Do you want results to last as long as possible? Use gel. You will need quite a lot of duck clips, at least ten.

It is important to choose a styling gel that has a very low rate of "cementing" the hair, since you will have to lay out your strands for a long time, and the hair must remain flexible all this time. If you are not sure what you can do, then use mousse or varnish.

Foil and iron

Ordinary metal foil allows you to enhance the effect of ironing. At the same time, your curls will turn out to be beautiful, light, and will last much longer. The method is suitable for hair of different lengths.

So, cut the foil into several small rectangles.

braids

Light waves on long hair are created using tight braids. This method is one of the most gentle. For short hair, the braid method is not suitable, since you are unlikely to be able to braid an acceptable pigtail.

First of all, apply a little mousse to the still damp curls and comb them thoroughly. After that, braid them into one or more braids (the thicker you braid the braid, the larger the curl will turn out).

In the morning, the pigtails should be carefully untwisted. As a result, light and natural waves will flaunt on your head. If you like, style your braid into a bun for an even better wave.

Rags

First, let's make homemade "curlers" from rags. Old and unnecessary nylon stockings or tights will do. They are cut into strips 2-4 centimeters wide. Each such segment must be pulled by the edges so that the fabric can curl up.

Everything, with curlers figured out. It's time to start prepping your hair. Wash your hair and dry it (preferably with a towel), but leave your hair slightly damp before curling. Next, divide them into strands, trying to keep the same thickness.

Lay the tip of the strand in the middle of the so-called bobbin. Holding the area just above the middle, wind the hair up to the ends, then tie the edges of the cloth into a tight knot. It is recommended to wind each strand not clockwise, but against it.

After you have processed all the strands, tie a scarf on your head and walk like this from 3 to 5 hours (the number of hours depends on what result you need).

If you want to get wide and dense waves on your hair, then the strands should be wound thick. When the time is up, carefully remove your makeshift curlers, comb the curls with your fingers and lightly spray them with varnish.

Wet wipes

The next method is a modern variation of the rags that were popular with our grandmothers. You will need a damp cloth (preferably unscented), which you need to stretch into a flagellum.

Comb wet curls and separate them into several strands, then wrap each of them around the center of this napkin with a ring and tie the ends into a knot. Wait for the hair to dry completely, unwind all the napkins and carefully disassemble the resulting strands with your fingers.

From the 1920s until the late 1940s, the world was under the control of the "cold wave". And this hair style has not lost its relevance to this day. He only rose from the category of "everyday" hairstyles to the level of "holidays".

Any girl who loves elegant and stylish looks can master hair styling by undulation. It is not as difficult as it seems, because our grandmothers made waves without even having hairspray and hair gel, not to mention hair dryers and stylers!

Here are some great looks from the past to spark inspiration and set you up for a stylish hair experiment.

Of course, you noticed that the "cold wave" is almost never found on long hair. She became popular precisely because of the fashion for angular teenage women and short haircuts "a la garcon". Women also learned how to style medium and long hair with this method, but a little later.

In English, the "cold wave" is called Finger Waves, and not by chance, because it is very convenient to do it with your fingers. True, in beauty salons of that time, this was more often called “undulation” - from the French word onde, that is, “wave”. The invention of the method is attributed to the hairdresser Marcel Grateau (hence another name for the hairstyle - “Marseille waves”): he used hot tongs to create perfect waves that lasted for weeks without any fixative.

How to make a cold wave at home?

You will need:

gel (foam or mousse) for styling,
spray with water to moisturize prematurely dried strands,
comb with frequent teeth,
a set of crocodile hair clips (without teeth),
Polish for hair.

Hair preparation: hair should be clean, damp, combed in a side parting (you can also straight, but the classic option is hair on the side)

Procedure (photo instruction):

1. Prepare: Moisten your hair and part it.

2. Select a strand from the top about 3-4 fingers wide. Apply styling product to it. With a movement, as if you are drawing the letter "C", comb the strand from the forehead to the side and back (it will rise at the roots) - fix this position with clamps.

3. With a comb, move the strand in the opposite direction (towards the face).

Try to remove the comb, moving the hair up so that the wave is more expressive.

Fix it with clips, try to place each hairpin line parallel to the previous one.

4. Repeat this, going down and down, each time changing the direction of the strand, until you fix its entire length. And move on to the next section of hair.

5. Wait for your hair to dry well. It is not recommended to use a hair dryer (and if there is absolutely no time to wait until the hair is dry, then at least put on a hairnet) - the air can inflate all the waves.

Carefully remove the clips from dry hair, use your fingers or a comb with rare teeth to give the hairstyle its final shape and fix it with varnish.

A straightener will help smooth and straighten unruly wavy hair, but not everyone knows that with this simple device you can get not only perfectly straight strands, but also soft natural curls.

How to curl your hair with a straightener?

Making curls with an iron is very simple, the main thing is to know the technology and choose the right styler. So, the shorter the hair, the smaller the diameter of the plates must be chosen, the width of the working surface is considered ideal from 2 to 5 centimeters. This width is suitable for almost any length and density of curls. Depending on the structural features of the hair, it is worth paying attention to the material that the straightener plates are covered with. So, it is worth refusing to use irons with a metal coating, as it adversely affects the health of the hairline.

It is worth stopping the choice on the popular ceramic or Teflon coating- these materials reduce the electrification of the strands, allow them to slide better between the plates, which makes curling easier, and also have less detrimental effect on the quality of the hair. You can also choose a styler with additional nozzles, such as, for example, corrugation - it will help you create small waves without much effort.

Also, when choosing, you should pay attention to the shape of the styler itself so that in the process of creating ideal curls, ugly sharp creases do not form. It is necessary to choose an iron with rounded edges so that when closed it looks like a standard curling iron familiar to many.

Besides, it is necessary to calculate the temperature regime, taking into account the peculiarities of the structure and health of the curls. For thin and light hair, heating the plates over 150 degrees is not recommended, hard dense porous hair must be curled at higher temperatures - up to 200 degrees, otherwise styling may not work. On intact hair, it is possible to perm at medium temperatures from 150 to 180 degrees, so an iron with a thermostat will be an ideal option so that you can easily monitor what temperature the device has already heated up to and make sure that it does not heat up more than necessary and is safe for hair.

However, you should always remember that even the right temperature and high-quality coating will not be able to completely protect the hair from harmful effects, so you should always use thermal protection. It can be sprays, mousses or other means. But even despite careful treatment with thermal protection, the harmful effects of high temperatures cannot be completely excluded, therefore it is recommended to repeat a full curl with an iron no more than twice a week.

So, by selecting the desired styler model, you can go directly to the perm. Here you can use the classic option, when the strand is located between the ironing plates from the root itself, twists onto the iron, after which the styler is slowly and carefully pulled along the entire length. In this way, you can curl all your hair and get beautiful romantic curls. With this type of curling, it is necessary to take into account the location of the iron. If the tongs are located down, then the created wave will start from the middle of the strand, but if the curling iron is directed upwards, then it will be completely curled.

To create more extreme styling, you can use cylindrical objects of various diameters - for example, when using a regular pencil, you can get small perky curls. The technology for creating such a hairstyle is painfully simple - a thin strand of hair is separated, twisted onto a pencil, and then warmed up with an iron, after removing the strand from the pencil, strong beautiful curls are obtained.

To implement another laying method, it will be necessary to stock up on foil. True, with this method it is necessary to be especially careful and use not too high temperatures of the styler. So, to create curls, you need to twist each strand into a ring with your fingers, wrap the hair ring with foil and heat it between the ironing plates. After the foil has cooled, release the hair from it, sprinkle it with varnish and enjoy flawless styling.

How to create waves: step by step guide

The process of creating perfect curls with an iron includes certain stages, which will help to achieve the desired result immediately and without much effort:

In order for the curls to turn out beautiful and shiny, you need to thoroughly wash your hair before creating a hairstyle. After that, it is necessary to dry it thoroughly with a hair dryer or in a natural way, which is certainly preferable, because hot air also negatively affects the quality of the hair, and when curling, the hair will get a lot of heat treatment, but there is also a minus in natural drying. Naturally dried hair always has less root volume than blow-dried hair.

When the hair is perfectly dry, it is necessary to apply thermal protection to them.- it can be a spray, gel or other similar product. After the product is evenly distributed, you must wait until it is absorbed and the hair becomes completely dry, otherwise there is a risk of simply burning future curls. The ends of the hair can be additionally treated with a regular nourishing hand cream.

Next, you need to heat the iron to the desired temperature. As soon as it warms up, you can proceed directly to the creation of the styling of the selected type. After carefully combing the hair, it is necessary to separate the upper part of the hair and temporarily fix it with a hairpin, you must start winding it from the bottom. A strand is separated from the total mass. The thinner it is, the stronger and more accurate the wave will be in the end.
Next, the strand is stretched and clamped with a styler at a distance of 1-2 cm from the scalp so as not to get burned, after which it is necessary to turn the iron 180 degrees, directing it away from the face, while continuing to hold the strand by the tip.
Gently, not lingering for a long time in one place, you should hold the iron along the entire length of the strand. Similarly, it is necessary to do with the entire lower tier of prepared hair. Once the bottom part is done, you can start winding the top.

We dissolve the collected hair and divide it into a parting. Here you need to rely on your own imagination and the case for which the hairstyle is created. So, the parting can be either straight, passing strictly in the center of the head, or offset to either side; in special cases, you can create a figured parting on the head, for example, with teeth or waves.
After creating the parting, we act by analogy with the lower tier - We divide the hair into small strands and wind them with a styler. In order for the strand to hold better in the future, it is necessary immediately after the end of the curl to fix it in a twisted state with hairpins and wait for it to cool completely, you can also do this simply with your fingers.
After the strands have completely cooled, you need to dissolve them and straighten them a little with your hands. The hairstyle is ready, it remains only to sprinkle it with a strong fixation varnish so that the beauty and elasticity of the waves are preserved for a longer time.

Top 10 popular styling at home

With the help of an iron, you can create amazing styling on hair of any length, you just have to choose the right styler and decide on the type of desired hairstyle.

Then you need to use straightening styler for its intended purpose. After stretching all the strands to perfect smoothness, you need to go through all the tips and wrap them outward from the face. A stylish look from the 60s is ready.

Big classic curls will also find their embodiment in the middle length. The larger the waves will adorn the head, the more voluminous the hairstyle will look and the easier it will be to hide some minor face flaws, for example, too wide cheekbones or a high forehead. To create such curls, an iron with a wider working surface is useful:

As in the rest of the options described, before creating the styling, you need to wash your hair with a mild shampoo., wait for the natural drying of the hair or dry it with a hair dryer to speed up the process, treat it with high-quality and suitable thermal protection for the type of hair.
After that, you need to divide the hair into strands of medium size and do the following manipulations with each: holding the strand by the tip, it is necessary to clamp it between the working surfaces of the heated iron, while its nose should be directed downward, turn it around its axis, wrapping the strand around and stretch the iron to the very tips. You need to do this procedure with all the strands. Light romantic styling will be the perfect option for a date.

You should not save on thermal protective agents, otherwise beautiful and healthy hair risks turning into lifeless burnt straw.

On medium length hair will also look advantageous African hairstyles. Small elastic curls with volume at the roots will be a great option for a party. To create this type of styling, you will need foil, an iron and a pencil, or any other cylindrical object of small diameter:

Pencil wrapped in foil, a small strand is tightly wound onto it, after which, holding by the tip, it is necessary to warm the future curls along the entire length.
When this is done, and the foil is already completely cool, you need to carefully pull out the pencil and repeat the procedure with all strands.
Slightly whip the resulting curls at the roots to add volume and natural fluffiness.

For long

Of course, long hair is a huge field for creativity. Here, the styling options are simply unmeasured. One of the most popular options that can be done with a flat iron today is Hollywood curls. Any girl has ever dreamed of walking down the red carpet in a luxurious dress with perfect makeup and hair, like the most popular Hollywood beauties. At least one of the desires can be easily realized with the help of a styler.

So, Hollywood curls are different from other styling, created with the help of a rectifier, first of all, because here the wave is created not along the entire length, but starting from the line of the eyes. This option is more like natural waviness:

The creation of this styling, as described above, begins with washing your hair with a mild shampoo., then, as a standard, it is necessary to dry and treat the strands with thermal protection, in addition, to make the hairstyle look even more impressive, you can use special products for extra shine.
This hairstyle is easier to create on perfectly straight hair, so further it is necessary to stretch naughty curls with an iron and comb them carefully.
If they are initially straight, then you can do without straightening and limit yourself only thorough combing so that not a single random knot in the hair can interfere with the creation of ideal Hollywood curls.

Now that the hair is fully prepared for styling, it is necessary to make a parting with a comb with large teeth. It is more convenient to start curling from the back of the head, so then you should separate a small strand of hair at the back of the head, squeeze it between the ironing plates, the clamp should occur approximately at eye level. At this stage, it is important to ensure that the nozzle of the device is directed straight up perpendicular to the floor.
Next, you need to turn the iron around its axis and hold the styler to the very tip of the processed strand. When all the strands have been processed in this way and they have cooled down enough, you need to tilt your head forward and comb the curls with your fingers - this will allow you to get additional volume at the roots and softer natural waves along the entire length.
In addition, you can lightly comb the hair at the roots.- this will also add volume and styling will look even more spectacular. After all the manipulations are completed, it is necessary to fix the hairstyle with a strong fixation varnish so that the Hollywood curls last as long as possible.

Also at the peak of popularity today are hairstyles made of strong elastic spirals. To create them with an iron, you will need pieces of foil in an amount equal to the number of strands being curled. Performance:

In this option, it is necessary to divide the clean, treated with thermal mousse hair into identical thin strands. Departing from the roots of 2-3 centimeters, you need to start winding the strand on 2 or 3 fingers, depending on the diameter of the curl, which you need to get in the end, or you can use any cylindrical object of the desired diameter for this.
Having twisted the strand, it must be carefully removed so that the ring shape is preserved- it should not fall apart or deform in any case. Next, you need to wrap the ring in a piece of foil and heat it evenly for 10-15 seconds, while heating it is necessary to ensure that it retains its original shape.
Do the same with all strands., then wait for the foil to cool completely, remove it and fix the resulting curls with strong fixation varnish. If you fix each strand separately with varnish, the effect of the curl will last for a longer time.

Another way to create modern styling with foil allows you to get unusual broken curls. A feature of this styling is that the curl here does not have a soft streamlined shape, there are sharp sharp corners here, which adds a bold touch and rebellion to the image.

There is another easy way to get interesting wavy hair with a straightener. The resulting effect will look like a beach styling option., however, it is not suitable for a short haircut, because a styler with a wider working surface will be used here. As with any styling mentioned, it is necessary to carry out a standard ritual with washing, drying and processing with a protective agent, after which it is necessary:

Separate the strand, hold it between the working surfaces of the straightener and slowly leading the iron down the strand, turn it 90 degrees, alternating direction towards and away from the face.
Repeat this action with all strands, shake your head for a slight effect of negligence in styling - and you're done.

Large voluminous curls- Another popular option for long hair. This styling is done like an African one, but not a pencil is used for it, but any other cylindrical object with a large diameter, ideally if it is at least 2.5-3 centimeters. Performance:

The separated strand is wound onto the selected item and thoroughly heated from all sides by a rectifier. Due to the larger diameter, this will take more time.
Next, all the strands are wound, and it’s better to start from the back of the head, moving towards the forehead, so the curl will come out more accurate, and the process itself will be much more convenient.
It is necessary to remove still warm strands from the base and collect them in a ring, which itself is formed from the resulting curls, until completely cooled, fix them with hairpins in this form, then remove the invisibility and fix the hairstyle with varnish.

Hairstyle "Wave"

The now popular hairstyle "wave" owes its appearance to the French hairdresser Marcel Grato, who came up with the idea of curling hair on hot tongs. This relieved women of the need to style their hair daily and allowed them to quickly create a beautiful and spectacular hairstyle without much difficulty.

In the 20-40s of the last century, the fashion for short hairstyles came and women around the world sought to get rid of long curls in order to follow new trends. At the same time, another problem arose: the hairstyle also needed styling, which was not at all easy with such a length of hair. There was a "cold" way.

Hairstyle "wave" for short hair

You will need a fixing varnish, styling foam, a comb with frequent teeth and clips (their number depends on the thickness of the hair and the number of "waves" themselves). In this case, a "cold wave" is obtained.

Step 1. Moisturize the hair by applying a modeling foam, comb it, highlighting a deep parting.

Step 2. A wide strand is selected and combed with the letter “C”, forming the first curl and fixing it with a clip.

Step 3. Now you need to step back 2-3 cm from the clamp and use a comb to slightly move the strand towards your face so that a wave forms. Again fix the moment with a clamp.

Step 4. Holding the place of fixation, slightly take the strands up, again forming a wave. A new coil is fixed.

Step 5. Continue to perform curls along the entire length and proceed to the next sections.

Ideally, such a hairstyle should dry on its own, only in this case you will get classic waves. If very little time has been allocated to create the image, you should carefully fix the hairstyle by putting on a mesh and use a hair dryer, drying the curls at low speed.

By the way, such styling can also be done on long hair, when the curls become part of the main Hollywood Wave hairstyle, as shown in the photo.

Hairstyle "Wave" for medium hair

This type of styling looks perfect when the curls do not differ in length. Creating a "wave" on cascaded hair is much more difficult.

Step 1. Smoothly comb the hair with a comb with fine teeth, highlighting a deep parting.

Step 2. For winding the strands, it is best to use a large diameter cone curling iron. The strands are wound towards the face and freely fixed with a clip.

Step 3. After all the hair has been processed, you should wait for it to cool completely, after which you can remove the clips and comb it with a brush, laying it in soft waves.

Such options are also possible.

Another option for creating waves or retro curls with a curling iron involves the design of artificial creases with a change in the position of the device with a clamp as shown in the photo.

Hairstyle "Wave" for long hair

The main difference from the previous option is that it is much more difficult to wind long hair on a curling iron and keep the waves, because the longer the curls, the heavier they are. You have to turn to a little trick.

Step 2. Curls are wound with spiral strands always in one direction (either to the left or to the right side).

Step 3. When the strands are completely cool, they must be carefully combed, and in places where the “wave” bend appears, fix with clips and sprinkle with varnish.

Step 4. After 15-20 minutes, you can carefully remove the clips and enjoy a spectacular hairstyle.

Fixing clips in this case allow you to get more graphic, clear and wavy curls, which looks very impressive and feminine.

How to make a "Wave" hairstyle with an iron?

Step 1. The hair is combed and divided into a deep parting.

Step 2. A small strand is selected, clamped with an iron at the base, slightly wound onto the body and gently pulled to the end. It turns out a beautifully outlined strand. All strands are processed in this way.

Step 3 Using a brush, the strands are combed and lightly sprayed with varnish.

Hairstyle "Wave" on the side

Step 1. The hair is combed, making the parting as deep as possible and highlighting the part that forms the main hairstyle (this is the hair on top and on the side opposite from the parting). The rest of the hair can be pinned up in a bun so as not to interfere.

Step 2. We begin to curl the main block of hair, moving from the bottom up. In this case, the hair is twisted parallel to the parting. A strand of hair is placed on a curling iron and the tail is carefully wound, placing the curls close to each other. The curl is untwisted, gently releasing the tail and waiting for it to cool. When winding, the curl can be slightly twisted into a soft tourniquet. They move like this until the parting, winding all the strands perfectly evenly.

Step 3. Separate the temporal zone from the opposite side and wind the hair away from you (this will allow you to comb your hair beautifully on one side in the future).

Step 4. The occipital area is also wound away from the face.

Step 5. Comb the curls at the base and spray with varnish.

Step 6. Comb the wave gently, apply clips to individual sections, lightly combing the hair between them. Spray with varnish.

Finally, the waves are gently flattened and lightly smoothed to create extra smoothness. Hairstyle "Wave on one side" is ready.

The cold wave was very popular with our grandmothers generation. Then the hairstyle was used as an everyday one. Today it is used mainly as a holiday.

At first glance, it seems that making such curls is quite difficult. But after all, at the time of the appearance of hairstyles, girls had to perform it without the use of modern styling products.

Wait until the hair is dry. Hairdryer is not recommended.
The remaining curls can be collected in a bun or curled into curls.

Hollywood styling

Free style

Unlike the hairstyles described above, they do not imply hair-to-hair styling. Beach waves create an image of lightness, ease of freedom, naturalness. Ideally, beach styling looks like its owner recently swam in the sea, her hair is not yet completely dry, they are slightly disheveled by a warm breeze. You can make a straight parting, carelessly comb light curls to one side.

Beach waves - an informal hairstyle, ideal for a daily look.
