Irons, curling irons, styling brushes… What device do you use to wave your hair? Making curls in your hair, especially if your hair is fine, requires a considerable investment of time. Sometimes too long for your waves to fall apart at the first chance. If you want your waves to remain firm and voluminous throughout the day, even after sleeping or showering, put these tips into practice before and after styling your hair.
An infallible trick to guarantee the duration of your wavy is to apply to your hair, together with your usual heat protector, hair mousse. Make sure that your hair is dry and, with your own fingers or a wide-toothed comb, distribute the product through your hair until the foam is completely absorbed. Once your hair is dry again, start running your strands through your chosen curling iron or heat tool. Wait until they cool down to go over them with your fingers to create more defined and long-lasting waves.
An alternative to hair mousse is none other than lacquer, the fixing element par excellence. Applying a thin layer of hairspray to your hair before submitting it to the curling iron will help give it thickness and hold when styling it. When you’ve finished styling, you can complete the process by re-spraying your hair with a light coat of hairspray to ensure it lasts longer.
Your waves can continue to look cared for and natural as the hours go by if you know how. The usual critical times for ringlets to come undone are while you sleep or after washing your hair. Waves, as with curls, require specific care to preserve and prolong their shape.
When you get out of the shower, apply the fixing product to wet hair so that it takes the shape you decide. Next, try to dry your hair in the most natural way possible. Place a towel around your hair and allow it to slowly absorb moisture instead of rubbing your hair with it.
Finally, if you are thinking of using the dryer, add a diffuser and do it in the cold air position. Hot air tends to nullify and reduce wavy hair, so drying at low temperatures and with the help of your fingers will be better to redefine and preserve your curls. If you follow these tips, your waves will look perfect day and night!
