How do you clip in curlers?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

Clipping in curlers properly is crucial for crease-free waves; ensure the hair is rolled smoothly and that no loose pieces are sticking out.

The key to clipping in curlers successfully is to avoid creases and ensure the hair is held securely. Here's a breakdown of how to do it:

  • Smooth Rolling is Essential: When rolling your hair around the curler, make sure the section is smooth and even. Avoid overlapping sections or pulling too tightly.
  • Clip Placement: The clip should secure the curler against your head without causing indentations. Place the clip strategically, often at the middle of the curler, to distribute pressure evenly. Different types of curlers may require different clip placement. Some clips are designed to slide onto the curler itself.
  • Avoiding Creases: If you notice strands sticking out during the rolling process, it's a sign that you might end up with creases. Redo the roll to ensure all strands are incorporated smoothly.
  • Types of Clips: Different curler sets may come with specific clips. Some are butterfly clips, others are U-shaped pins. Use the clips that are designed for your specific curler type.

Incorrect clipping can lead to:

  • Creases in the Hair: This happens when the hair isn't rolled smoothly or the clip is too tight.
  • Uneven Curl Formation: Improperly secured curlers can result in uneven or misshapen curls.
  • Discomfort: If the clips are digging into your scalp, they're likely too tight or positioned incorrectly.
