Tips for building loops and showing off the most beautiful curlers
Having the perfect curlers without using the looper or hair dryer may seem like a utopia, but it is not at all. There are many ways to achieve this goal without your hair suffering the mechanical “attacks” of these tools.
If you have straight hair or the waves are not very defined, do not hesitate to pay attention to the following recommendations and homemade masks. Keep reading!
Tourniquets
An excellent method to achieve wonderful curves in your hair is to make “tourniquets” as tight as possible when the hair is still wet. That is when you go out to bathe.
- Dry it a bit so that it does not drip water and hold with a tweezer for an hour or two.
- When it begins to dry, let go and stir it for extra volume.
If your hair has light waves you can pass a wide-tooth comb. Do it when the hair is wet. This will untangle it and avoid breaking the strands.
Then separate by strands, fold them with your fingers, keeping a minute or so. Repeat with all hair and allow it to dry on its own.
Tubes
Our grandmothers or mothers did not have a looper or hair dryer but they could still have wonderful curls. The key was tubes or bobby pins.
Ask in a place that sells beauty salon items and check with the largest in the family how to place them. It is very easy but at the same time, they have their secrets.
Tangle each strand and sleep with them on, securing with a net or scarf. In the morning, carefully remove each of the tubes and you will see how the curls have been formed in an incredible way.
Braids
Another way to get waves (for those with very straight hair) is to braid it when it’s wet. You can sleep in this hairstyle all night. The next day you will have a wonderful and voluminous mane.
A good French braid, starting as far above the scalp as you can, is recommended. If you have a lot of hair you can divide it into strands.
Ingredients for defined rollers
Olive oil and honey mask
Make homemade masks for your hair. This will eliminate frizz and you will be able to enjoy more beautiful and armed waves.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil with ½ cup of honey.
- Massage with this mixture first the scalp and then advancing towards the tips.
- Cover the hair with a plastic cap.
- Allow half an hour to pass and wash with a good sulfate-free shampoo. Honey can slightly lighten the color of your hair.
Essential oils
Essential or natural oils help you build perfect curls. You just have to heat a cup of olive or coconut oil and apply evenly throughout the hair.
- Put on a shower cap or warm towel for half an hour to help the oil to be better absorbed by the hair strands.
- Wash in cold water and repeat three times a week.
- Then, dry your hair a bit so that it does not release water and take advantage of any of the techniques explained to build curls.
Avocado and olive oil mask
Perform a weekly deep treatment. This will make the hair look prettier, healthier and more pliable. In addition, this way you will avoid the “wounds” suffered by the dryer or any product you use.
- Mix the pulp of a whole avocado with a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add a teaspoon of baking powder and apply to the hair.
- Let it act for a few minutes and then rinse.
- Wash as usual and choose a technique to enhance the curlers that is comfortable and effective.
How to care for your curlers
Do you have wavy hair, but the curlers do not “arm” themselves, frizz affects you a lot and unruly hairs are your nightmares? Follow these steps:
- Wash with shampoo and conditioner according to your hair type.
- Rinse well, and before leaving the shower, brush with a wide-tooth comb to untangle it underwater. This will keep the hair wet and have more strength when drying.
- Squeeze well to remove the water.
- Dry with the towel holding with one hand and with the other bringing the strands of hair together.
- Gently press down on the curls. Never use the dryer.
- You must ensure that it does not drip but still maintain moisture.
- You can apply a mousse or assemble the roller as if they were small bows or bun, holding with a clamp.
- Leave the buckles half an hour at least.
- Take the buns apart, carefully.
- When your hair is down, gently shake your head to the sides. You can put them together better with your fingers.
Head upside down
We propose you another good option:
- Once you get out of the shower and towel dry your hair, turn your head down so your hair is “hanging” on the floor.
- Press from the tips upwards with your hand, making “heaps” with your closed fist. You must apply pressure to the height of the scalp.
