Styling for medium length hair

Styling the hair at home, we tend to try to repeat what the master did in the salon. But, firstly, it is not always convenient, and secondly, the hairdresser clearly understands what the result should be and, thirdly, knows perfectly how to achieve it! Secrets of the masters, it turns out, are very simple, and for sure many of you do not know how the correct styling for medium length hair is going on.

Shampoo

It is chosen taking into account the problems of the scalp, not the hair. Wash the strands at least two times - to absolute purity. It is important to wash the shampoo thoroughly and squeeze the hair well. The balm (or conditioner) is put on hands, then distributed in strands and rubbed with massage movements. The roots do not need balm. Once or twice a week after shampoo, you can use a mask that replaces the conditioner. It is important to wash off all the funds well and do not leave them overnight, unless it is indicated in the instructions.

The styling agents are applied to damp, towel-dried hair. Remember: there are no universal means for an impeccable hairstyle. For example, in order to achieve volume, a root agent should be applied to the roots, and a light cream against fluffiness should be applied to the middle and the ends of the strands. If I plan to wind curls - a spray for a curl, if you pull out - a spray for smoothness. If the styling needs a volume at the roots and straight hair along the entire length, I apply roots spray to the roots, raise them with a comb, dry my hair with a hairdryer, then in the middle and tips I put thermal protection for the rectifier and straighten the hair with an iron. For hard hair, you should use a cream for damaged hair (it is distributed on wet curls), and after laying - apply oil to the middle and tips.

Brushes and combs

The shorter the hair, the smaller the diameter of the brush. The stiffness of the bristles should also be optimal. The minimum set of combs for professional laying is the so-called "fish bone" (helps to create volume at the roots) and "brush" (brush that polishes the hair along the length). Putting the "brush" under the lock, you need to scroll it several times, as if stretching.

While the science of professional laying will not be mastered in perfection, do not choose too high temperature modes of ironing, and using a hair dryer, it is better to give preference to comfortable speed, which can easily cope with strands: without drying, to achieve the effect of smooth, well-groomed and beautiful hair. The hair dryer should be placed parallel to the brush, so that the air flow is not directed at the strand at an angle of 90 degrees. Hot air should go almost parallel to the strand. And this is the main secret of an ideal styling for medium length hair! The strand is "polished" - the scales are closed - and the hair shines and does not crumble. When the airflow is directed from the end of the strand to the root, the scales of the hair open, thereby creating an additional "fluffiness" effect. Be sure to put on the strands of thermal protection: it will protect them from the aggressive effects of hot appliances.

The main rule of application - add a little. In excess, these funds lead to the fact that the hair looks dirty and sloppy. Fixing your hair with varnish, whisk the hair at the roots and try to keep the canister at a distance of at least 20 cm from the head.

To ensure that the permanent styling does not damage your hair, you should choose the right hair treatment. Among the many means for caring for damaged hair, there are also professional brands that are absolutely right in caring for the hair, which are constantly exposed to styling and heat treatment.
