Curling hair with braids to get loose waves
If you want to add some volume to your hair, you can create loose waves. But no, we will not need to spend a long time with the iron, but as we have said, we will always do it in a more natural way. To do this, we start by preparing our hair. We wash it and dry it a bit with the dryer. Not too much, since it has to be somewhat damp. When it is almost 75% dry, then it will be time to style it well.
You can apply a little foam to get a better result. The next step is to sweep the hair to the side and gather it into a basic, three-strand braid. The hair does not need to be too tight. Secure the hair with a rubber band and put on a hat. You must sleep with the side braid and the next morning, you will undo it carefully, giving it shape. Thus, you will have the softest waves but that will change your look.
A few marked ringlets
The ringlets can also be achieved thanks to the braids. Although in this case, it is not a braid itself. You should first style your hair with the part in the middle. So you will have two hair distributions left. You will start with one of them, where you will hold strands, you will twist them on themselves and you will hold the ends with a hair tie. You will do the same with the other side. Then, with each part we will make a bow. We put on a hat and also, we must sleep with both bows in the hair. In the morning, we will see how the ringlets will be the protagonists.
Tips to consider
The best thing to do to perform steps like the ones we have mentioned, is have long hair. In this way, the braids will be better and as such, we will have a better result. Also, if your hair is dry we must apply a little oil. First we will put it on the fingertips and then, we will go through all the hair. Emphasizing the middle and ends part.
In this way, when making the braid, they will not be loose. Remember also that a looser braid will lead to softer ripples. If you twist the hair on itself, the waves will be more marked, also obtaining some ringlets. When you pull the braids back, try not to pull too much of the hair. We don't want them to come undone before our time! If you have fine hair you will know what I am talking about, because the curls may not stay long.
So, it's a good time to apply some hairspray. We will go strand by strand. Because even if it takes us longer, the result will also be more spectacular. We will have to slightly lift the lock and apply hairspray on the roots. Avoid touching your hair too much throughout the day. Surely that way, you can enjoy that change of look for longer and of course, always taking care of the hair since we have not exposed it to the heat of the irons. Although it is not a quick method, it is one of those that we can trust.
