Curls on cocktail tubes. Photo for short, long, medium, wet hair

Curls are created in various ways, for example, using a curler, curling iron, iron or other devices. And also curls are wound on cocktail tubes. This type of curling is considered the safest. It allows you to make an original hairstyle without any special means, thermal damage to the hair.

What curls can you get with cocktail straws?

African fine curls are usually made with cocktail straws. They are curly, elastic. The narrower the strand, the thinner the curl forms. They are fixed with styling products. The best result is achieved on long and medium curls, but short strands are quite difficult to wind in this way. However, only certain types of curls can be obtained with plastic straws.

Therefore, girls who want to have curly curls need to know that there are different types of curls that are obtained using other tools:

• Small ones. Small curls create a light, relaxed look. Curly strands are formed using a thin curling iron and spiral curlers. And also improvised means in the form of cocktail straws are suitable.
• Large. Large curls look good on thick, lush hair. However, they can only be created on healthy strands.
• Natural. A similar perm is performed on long curls. The main thing is not to twist them too much. Curls are created with a curling iron, or using curlers of different diameters.
• Hollywood. This is a fairly popular type of curl. They are wound vertically, forming large ones. Curls are laid, directing them away from the face.
• At the ends. Some girls like to curl their hair not along the entire length, but only the ends of the strands. Curls are made large or medium.
• Wavy. Curly curls are created with a curling iron with a corrugation nozzle.
• Afro-curls. They should be small and firm. These are the ones that can be wound using cocktail tubes.
  
• Broken. Curls are made zigzag or angular. Such curls are also created with the help of straws, winding them in a certain way.

Who is this method suitable for?

Small curls go to tall, graceful, slender owners of an oval or elongated face. In this case, the curls can be both long and short. However, small girls with a round face need to be careful. If the strands are below shoulder level, such a voluminous hairstyle will further reduce the woman's height, and also visually expand the oval.

Split ends and dryness of curls are successfully masked with afro curls. However, in order to avoid damage to your hair in the future, you should curl it without using an iron, curling iron or curlers.

Advantages and disadvantages of the method

Straws are a great way to style and dry curls without using a hair dryer. This is a fairly safe tool that does not damage the structure of the strands.

These devices have many advantages:

• In the process of their application, hairpins are not required, or clips capable of breaking and pulling out hair.
• Such products are easy to twist, fix and remove.
• They help to create voluminous styling even on weak, thin hair.
• After performing such a curling, the strands do not lose their healthy appearance.

However, this method has its drawbacks:

• Tubes will not work for short curls. It is rather difficult to wind them on a plastic straw.
• This technique is not suitable for heavy strands. Plastic straws simply cannot support the weight of thick curls.
• The desired result may not be achieved immediately. You will need to practice to learn how to perform a similar procedure.

Despite the disadvantages of this method, it is considered to be in demand. This method is quite safe and convenient compared to other perm techniques.

Features of winding depending on hair length

Curls on cocktail tubes are wound taking into account the length of the curls. To create curls, their height is of no small importance. Correct implementation allows you to get a beautiful, neat hairstyle. Below are all the nuances of the curling process.

For short curls

Short curls are difficult to wind on straws. And if you have to carry out such a procedure, then you should act extremely carefully. It is preferable to wind the strands like a spiral, so that they turn out to be wavy.

Curling is done after dividing the hair into several sections.

For medium length hair

Elastic strands are suitable for a similar length. They are wound in a spiral if necessary to create wavy curls. The process is carried out sequentially so as not to miss a single curl.

Long strands

Tight and curly strands are suitable for them. The straws are wound using standard technology. Then they are kept until the curls dry, and then removed. Then the hair must be styled.

How to keep curls for a long time?

The curls are pre-washed so that the hairstyle lasts as long as possible. Shampoo is used ordinary, not dry. Preference is given to professional cosmetic products. It cleans strands well from mousse, foam, varnish. Curls on cocktail tubes look very stylish, but such curls need proper care. Therefore, they use all kinds of masks, conditioners.

They also use moisturizing, nourishing, restorative cosmetic preparations. However, such cosmetic products are not used immediately before laying. Various styling products help prolong the effect. They are chosen based on the type of hairstyle. For example, texturizing sprays are required for curly strands. And the foams make it possible to create Hollywood curls. Hair preparation before curling is also of great importance.

Small fleece allows for volumetric styling. Of course, you can "extend" the life of the twisted strands, but it must be borne in mind that they will become less elastic the next day.
