Short hair with flat waves: how to do them
To create flat waves, you can proceed in two ways. The first option involves the use of the tubular plate, which gives excellent results following some steps. With dry hair, the locks are divided over the forehead into three sections to be fixed, each, with a spirder.
After freeing a section, a small dose of thermoprotector applies, proceeding from the roots to the tips. When the product is dry, you pass the plate starting from the roots, keeping it for the first 3 centimeters horizontally and then, while sliding downwards, rotating it diagonally while proceeding downwards. These steps must also be repeated on the other locks.
Alternatively, after the shampoo, you pass the hairdryer quickly to remove the excess of water. Then, with the still humid lengths, after having divided the hair into the upper part of the head into two to three sections, the front locks are rolled between the fingers to form small curls to be fixed with the springs.
Short hair with flat waves: STYLING Tips
Styling plays a key role for defining flat waves on short hair. The curls obtained with the plate or with the braid, must be “pulled” with the comb. At this point the wave takes shape, and to fix it it is necessary to use a veil of gel or modeling cream, preferably with a water -based and gloss effect formula, after heating it in your hands to make the texture softer.
To make the distribution of the product homogeneous, you need a comb, to be used first of all to make the line on one side, and perfect the sinuous trend, moving it in order to accentuate, or make the desired curves softer.
On the rest of the hair we proceed by passing the comb by proceeding backwards, taking care to direct the lengths on the sides of the face towards the neck. To complete and fix the result, a strong seal fixing spray is used to be distributed evenly on the hairstyle.
