As long as the fair sex exists, the eternal battle with the hairstyle lasts. (However, sometimes Tolkienists and musicians join the question.) The rules are simple: if the hair is straight, they always try to wind it, if it is curly, straighten it. Such is our mysterious nature, we want what we do not have. Can’t wait to take care of your hair too? Choose the most convenient way!

5 ways to curl straight hair:

1. Curling iron or tongs. Apply varnish by lifting individual strands. Grabbing a small curl, wind it on tongs (sections of hair closer to the roots — on the thinner part of the curling iron). When the hair has cooled, apply a little hairspray to the finished hairstyle.
2. Iron. After some practice, you can curl your hair with a straightener. Apply hairspray or styling mousse to washed and dry hair. Grab small strands, wind the iron around them and run from the roots to the tips. Then separate the resulting curls with your fingers and fix with varnish.
3. Nozzle-diffuser for hair dryer. Wash your hair with volumizing shampoo. Comb with a large comb. Apply styling mousse along the entire length. Tilt your head and apply medium hold hairspray to your hair. Curl your hair around the diffuser lugs, moving it up and down to evenly distribute the heat.
4. curlers. This method is more gentle on the hair, since it does not have the harmful effect of hot air, although it takes time. Comb the cleanly washed, slightly damp hair and wind it with strands on the curlers, starting with the bangs. Wait until the hair is completely dry (you can dry it with a hair dryer to be sure), and remove the curlers.
5. Cloths or socks. A folk recipe for owners of heavy hair who decide to get by with improvised means. Comb and wet your hair. Roll the curl around a clean sock, making sure that the ends do not break. Tie the sock into a knot. Twist the rest of your hair in the same way (the number of socks depends on the thickness of your hair) and go to bed. In the morning, untie your socks and separate the curls with your fingers. And if you don’t want to mess around, just try sleeping in pigtails.

5 ways to straighten curly hair:

1. Iron Relatively fast and easy way. However, be careful. Under the influence of high temperature, the hair straightens, but if overdo it, it can become brittle and dry. Therefore, it is advisable not to use the iron too often, and be sure to apply special thermal protective agents before styling. Strands try to straighten in one motion, without delay.
2. Comb and hair dryer. This is where you need a little more patience. It is desirable to straighten hair under a cold stream of air. If you prefer hot straightening, in this way you can fix the result achieved. To fix the hairstyle, apply varnish or wax. Avoid exposing straightened hair to moisture or rain.
3. Thermal brush. This handy tool eliminates the need for a hair dryer and saves a little time by straightening even unruly hair with a simple comb. It is best to choose brushes with ceramic bristles: ceramics allow warm air to be evenly distributed over the entire length of the hair and not to be damaged by heat.
4. Brush + serum. If you do not want to injure your hair by exposing it to temperature changes, use a special straightening serum. After applying it, take a brush with natural bristles and start smoothing the hair every 15 minutes until completely dry.
5. Tea. Didn’t find the right tool at hand? Straighten curls will help folk ingenuity. Brew strong tea, add a little sugar (no more than 1/2 teaspoon per glass, so that the hair does not stick together.) Apply tea relies on hair washed in the usual way.

As you can see, in order to effectively work on your own image, it is not necessary to look into expensive beauty salons. Excellent results can be achieved at home — there would be a desire!
