What is afro curls?
Afro curls came to us from the distant 1970, but only recently they became popular.
Afro curls for short hair
In particular, short hair is in great demand for afro curls. The fact is that even liquid, as well as short hair, this type of hairstyle is perfect. Small curls in which your curls will be curled will acquire a larger volume, which contributes to a visual increase in hair in general.
Small curls perfectly accentuate your face, and also focus on the neck and décolleté. Remember this when choosing this type of hairstyle.
Afro curls for medium hair
A great option would be to make afro curls on medium hair. This hairstyle looks really rich. It is perfect for both dating and working hours. And by the way, if you do the styling correctly, it will simply be impossible to distinguish curls from natural, which is what this type of hairstyle is famous for.
Mostly Afro curls are made into a small curl, but there is also a very small one, otherwise known as micro-curl, using a chemical wave of strands.
Afro curls on long hair
To achieve a chic look, girls with long hair should wind their hair in afro curls. Long and thick hair will perfectly rise, creating an unusually beautiful and attractive look.
This hairstyle is perfect for holidays, relaxation, as well as photo shoots.
Not standard afro curls
This type includes the standard look of afro curls, but they have a non-standard color. It can be purple, pink, white, green or multi-colored. You can also use the ombre painting technique, which will give you a very original look.

How to make afro curls at home
Corrugation Curling Iron
The most popular method is curling the corrugation. This curling iron has a ribbed, inner surface, which allows you to make small curls in the afro style without any problems.
Curling Method:
- We wash our hair and apply a conditioner on them to create small curls.
- After that, completely dry your hair and apply a protective agent on it before hot styling.
- Divide the hair into three equal parts using a thin comb.
- Take a small strand in front and comb it well with a comb comb.
- Press the strand firmly at the root with a curling iron and begin to move smoothly along its entire length, alternately pressing each part of the strand.
- Most importantly, remember that the size of the future curls will depend on the thickness of the lock you took.
- Repeat the procedure with the curling iron with all the strands in turn, trying not to miss anything.
- When all the strands are wound, take a comb massage and not a lot, not pressing down, comb your hair. This will help to give the hair an airy look, which will eventually create real afro curls.
Pencil
- Wash your hair and then dry it slightly with a towel. Your strand should be wet, but not wet.
- Apply foam to your hair to achieve a better curl effect in the future.
- Take a small lock and tightly wind it on a pencil, then go through it with a curling iron. The curling iron should be at 150 degrees, do not make the temperature more, as you can damage the hair structure.
Hairpins
- Divide the hair into equal parts for easy operation. Then take a thin lock and moisten it with water a little, then pass it into the hairpin.
- Fasten the hairpin to the root of the strand, starting to work from the bottom row of hair.
- Then we loop around the hairpin with a bend in the form of a figure eight, wrapping around each end of the hairpin itself.
- We fix a lock of invisibility.
- We continue to wind the hair to the end, trying not to miss the locks.
- After 2 hours, remove the invisibility (if your hair is difficult to curl, then leave it for 5-6 hours) and then the hairpin itself.
- Manually spin the curls, laying them on the head with your fingers. When the hair is more or less even, then take a massage brush and go through the hair to give it fluffy.
- To keep the result lasting longer, use varnish to fix it.
Thread
- You will need a dense thread, preferably natural cotton. Such a thread will not slip on your hair, which will allow you to fix it more reliably.
- Berm a thin strand of hair and begin to twist it to get a lamb.
- The lamb itself should be tightly twisted with a thread so that not a single curl can break out of it.
- If possible, leave the rams for the night, and if not, then for a faster effect, wind the rams on wet hair and blow dry them with a hairdryer. Hold for several hours and you can begin to unwind.
- After comb them with a massage brush to give them fluffy.
How much hold
At home, afro curls hold out for several days, but after the first day they will lose some of their elasticity. If you do not go to bed, then curls will be able to hold out for a day or a little more. And to get rid of curls, just wash your hair with shampoo and apply any hair mask.
