If it's smooth, we want to curl up. If it's curled, we want to smooth it. This thinking is very common in the beauty world, especially with regard to hair. And adopting hairstyles is one of the ways to get away from that hair? and innovate.
When we talk about hairstyles, one of the most successful options among women is the waves. As currently having straight hair is very common, who wants to stand out can make big waves or delicate curls to have a different look from most.
Fortunately, today there are numerous techniques for achieving varying styles of curls and waves. Some use electric devices like Babyliss and flat iron, while others are tricks with common objects used to conquer the desired waves.

1. Babyliss
This is probably the most traditional technique for making curls. However, it requires a good deal of patience and skill. It is necessary to train and not give up to achieve the desired effect.

What products should I use when curling my hair?
Regardless of the technique you adopt, it is worth using some products to protect your wires and also to ensure that the waves last the desired time.
Before working with any hot appliance on your hair, wear a thermal protector. It is essential to ensure that heat does not damage your hair too much. Even with the shield, overuse of these hot appliances will damage the wires. So don't overdo it and use it only once in a while if you don't want to ruin your locks.
There are also those who adopt the use of curl activators, but these products are usually made for natural curls and do not always provide a good result in curls made by artificial methods.
After doing any of the techniques, it is suggested to use a fixative spray, especially if the technique does not use a device that heats up, as these waves tend to last less on the hair.
