Using them is as easy as shelling pears, wrapping strands on them, secure with special clips. When the time is up, gently release the waves, fix the result with varnish spray.

Outwardly, they resemble a foam tube, which bends easily and holds its shape thanks to its springy base. Such curlers will allow you to vary the winding method along the entire length, at the ends, to the middle of the chevelure. You don’t need special skills to use them. Straighten the curlers, wind the wet strand tightly, starting from the ends, then bend the curlers in the form of boomerangs. You do not need to fix anything. When the hair is completely dry, which can take more than 4 hours, loosen the strands and spray with the fixing spray. You can also apply mousse before winding; then, the varnish is not required. This kind of curler will be suitable to make big curls for short hair.
- Velcro curlers are suitable for any hair length and are available in any diameter so that you can wind up any curls from small curls to Hollywood waves. The upper ball structure of the curler is ribbed and dotted with small soft spines, which ensures reliable fastening of the strand to the last unruly hair. Medium velcro curlers are often used to add volume at the roots or bangs, while large ones are simply irreplaceable for big curls for long hair. The winding technology is quite simple; wet hair is rolled on a suitable size curler and kept on the head all night.
- Hair curlers are wooden, or plastic sticks with spirals cut along the entire length. Suitable for creating strictly vertical curls. It is easy to use them; very thin, moist strands are wound in a spiral, going deeper into the grooves, then fixed either with an elastic band or with a clip. The curlers are removed after the curls have dried.
