5 Ways to Make Hanging Curls and Inspiration for Hanging Curls in Various Atmospheres

Many women choose hanging curly hairstyles to attend parties or other important events. Curly hair creates beautiful volume with waves or curls that make women look sweeter. Many straight hair owners curl their hair to get a different and classy look. Curling hair is also a solution for thin hair owners to make their hair look thicker. The term hanging curls refers to a styling style that combines straight hair with curly or wavy hair. The base to half of the hair is left straight, while the middle to bottom of the hair is made wavy and has a spiral accent. For those of you who want to style your hair with a hanging curly model, you can do it without having to go to a salon. Want to know how? Check out the following tips!

1. Make hanging curls with paper

Don’t have curling tools? You can use paper to curl your hair. The paper you use can be HVS paper or newspaper. Easier and cheaper, right?

1. Prepare the paper, cut the paper into approximately 10-12cm and 5-7cm wide. If your hair is thick, prepare more pieces of paper with the same size.
2. Roll or twist the paper you have prepared lengthwise.
3. Comb your hair so that it is not tangled and use hair moisturizer for hair that is easy to manage and more beautiful results.
4. Clip your hair up, take a small section of your hair then roll it using the paper that has been twisted from the ends of the hair to ¾ of the hair. Then tie the paper, make sure the paper ties don’t come loose.
5. Take another small section of hair and do the same until all the hair is rolled.
6. Leave it overnight. Use a hair cover or cloth so that the hair at the base doesn’t get tangled.

In the morning you can remove the paper rolls one by one. Then comb with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. Do not use a fine-toothed comb because it will damage the hair that has formed. Use a little hair spray to make the hanging curls last longer.

2. Create Hanging Curls with Hair Rollers

If you have hair rollers, let’s use them! The hair that is formed may be bigger or smaller according to the size of the hair roller you have. The steps are almost the same as using paper.

1. Prepare the hair rollers that you have. Make sure that there are enough to roll your hair. If not, of course you have to add hair rollers or you can just use paper.
2. Comb then use moisturizer or hair vitamins so that your hair is easy to manage and doesn’t get tangled.
3. Clip all the hair up and then take a small section of hair. Roll it using a roller from the end to ¾ or half of the hair.
4. Do this until all the hair is rolled. Then let it sit for 2-3 hours.

After waiting, you can remove the rollers one by one and avoid combing your hair with a fine-toothed comb.

3. Make Hanging Curls with Flexi Rod

Flexi rod is a type of hair roller but is straight and made of solid foam with wire inside. Its use is not much different from using hair rollers or using paper. If you have type 4 hair, it is recommended to try this flexi rod technique.

1. Comb your hair then use a moisturizer or hair vitamin. Make sure your hair is clean.
2. Take a few strands of hair then roll them using a flexi rod from the ends of the hair to ¾ or half of the hair.
3. Let stand for approximately 3-5 hours. Then remove the flexi rods one by one.
4. Use your fingers to comb and spray hairspray to make curly hair last longer.

4. Make Hanging Curls with a Curling Iron

1. If you already have a curling iron, why go to the salon? Don’t forget to always use hair moisturizer, vitamins, or heat protector before using heating tools. Use a curling iron to shape your curly hair in the following way.
2. Heat the curling iron first. While waiting, comb your hair and apply hair moisturizer. Then clip your hair to the top.
3. Take a little hair at a time and roll it with the heated curling iron. Do this until all parts of your hair are curled.

Voila! You are ready to look charming! It is advisable not to use heat tools for your hair too often if you don’t want your hair to become dry and fall out. In addition, it is not recommended to use a curling iron when your hair is wet.

5. Make Hanging Curls with a Hair Straightener

Do you only have a flat iron or hair straightener at home? Don’t rush to buy a curling iron because hanging curls can also be made with a regular hair straightener. Here are the steps:

1. Make sure your hair is dry and apply a heat protector. If possible, adjust the heat of the hair straightener so that it is not too hot and damages your hair. If you have thin and healthy hair, you can apply a little hair spray, but if your hair tends to be problematic, it’s best to spray hair spray after you finish rolling your hair.
2. Divide your hair into several sections to make the process easier. Hold the hair straightener with the bottom facing up, then clip your hair and roll it outwards from your face.
3. Keep the roll on the hair straightener rod and slowly pull the hair straightener to the end of your hair and release. Don’t stop in the middle because it will form a sharp curve that is not pleasing to the eye.

Creating hanging curls with a hair straightener can give more natural curls or curls than with a curling iron. Meanwhile, if you want more relaxed curls, you can comb your hair with your fingers to create more natural curls.
