To effectively use a hair wrap machine, focus on proper hair placement and letting the machine do the work.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Section Your Hair: Begin by dividing your hair into manageable sections. This ensures that the machine can effectively wrap each section without tangling.
-
Position Your Hair: Take the first section you want to curl or wave and hold it approximately 10 cm (around 4 inches) from the end. This provides a good length for the machine to grip and wrap.
-
Introduce Hair to the Barrel: Slowly bring the section of hair towards the barrel of the hair wrap machine. The goal is to allow the machine to "catch" the hair.
-
Initiate Wrapping: Once the hair attaches to the barrel, gently move the machine towards your head. Crucially, avoid twisting the machine yourself.
-
Coanda Effect: The "Coanda effect" (if applicable to your device, like with a Dyson Airwrap) will naturally attract and wrap your hair around the barrel. This airflow technology is what allows the machine to style without extreme heat. Let the machine guide your hair.
Key Considerations:
- Machine Type: Different hair wrap machines might have slightly different operating instructions. Always consult the user manual that came with your specific device for the most accurate guidance.
- Heat Settings: Adjust the heat settings according to your hair type and desired style. Finer hair might require lower heat.
- Practice: It may take a few tries to get the hang of using a hair wrap machine. Be patient and experiment to find the best technique for your hair.
- Safety: Always use the machine according to the manufacturer's safety guidelines. Avoid overheating the device and unplug it when not in use.
By following these steps and referring to your machine's user manual, you should be able to use a hair wrap machine effectively to achieve your desired hairstyle.
