Every girl in childhood dreamed of a beautiful hairstyle for a celebration. And so she and her mother spent hours braiding small braids to create a unique look. Later, this type of installation was called “corrugation”.
Today, photos of corrugated hairstyles can be found in any fashion magazine. They are considered classics, gaining momentum in popularity throughout the world every year.
These images look gentle, and sometimes bold; can bring romanticism or playfulness - in general, they allow you to quickly diversify everyday looks to match your mood.
Variations on a theme
Corrugation is finely curled strands made with special curling irons.
There are 3 types of curling irons for this type of styling:
- Curling iron with large waves - allows you to create the effect of naturally curly hair;
- Medium corrugation is the most versatile and fastest option for creating volume;
- Fine-toothed corrugation is ideal for creating root volume and is the basis for hairstyles of any complexity.
All styling options can be combined with each other, but it is better to give preference to two types.
For example, work the root zone using tongs with a medium nozzle, and curl the remaining length with small teeth. This will give your hair extra volume and uniqueness.
Or you can, using only small corrugation, refresh your hairstyle in the root zone, adding a little pomp and lightness.
Features of styling
Hairstyles with curling irons have been a trend for several years now. And there are a number of substantiating reasons for this.
This is the longest lasting hairstyle. Will withstand any weather even without styling products. Many girls, having decided on such a hairstyle, go more than one day with a magnificent hairstyle.
For those with thin hair, this is a great way to create extra volume.
Even a couple of curled strands will help you radically change your look in a matter of minutes.

Flaws
There are few of them, but they exist.
The first thing I would like to note is the time spent on installation. Creating a crimped hairstyle for long hair can take more than one hour.
Failure to follow simple rules for protection during styling with hot tools can significantly damage the quality of your hair.
Which styling will you choose?
Full corrugation. Used to create maximum volume or as a base for hairstyles for long and medium hair.
Basal. The name speaks for itself. Allows you to add pomp in a separate area without changing the styling along the entire length.

Hairstyles with corrugation
Unlike the procedure of curling curls with curlers, the result with corrugation lasts longer and allows you to use the resulting volume to create complex hairstyles.
To medium
The length to the collarbones and the top of the shoulder blades makes the hair a little heavier, compared to a bob; here you can create a uniform relief over the entire mass. This styling will not puff up, and the strands will become light and fluffy.
If you have bangs, stylists recommend straightening them with an iron or curling them with a hair dryer and a round comb - it depends on the length and shape. To make it look elegant with a ruffle, it is advisable to straighten the upper part of the hair in front.
For long
Neat large waves made along the entire length will look beautiful. They should be laid on their sides, lightly sprayed with varnish and secured with bobby pins. For this hairstyle, the hair must be shiny; you need to apply nourishing and restorative masks to it in advance.
If on the second and third days the relief does not look fresh, it can be used as a basis for voluminous braids, ponytail braids, and intricate patterns for updos.
Do you do your own hair with crimps?
Yes
No
If you can’t visit a beauty salon?
How to do a ruffled hairstyle is a delicate and painstaking task, and requires a lot of time and effort.
But everything is achievable if you know some rules:
- All curls should be done on clean, well-dried hair.
- Be sure to use a heat protectant.
- For convenience, it is better to separate your hair. Separate the lowest layer, collect the rest and secure with bobby pins. It is always more convenient to start from the bottom. Gradually move to the top layers.
- The thinner the strand you take, the clearer the curl and more volume you will get.
- Set the heating temperature of the tongs correctly. For bleached and damaged hair – 170* maximum! For healthy and dense hair, 200* is acceptable.
If there is no special iron?
There are several ways in which you can achieve the effect of a light ruffled hairstyle without special tools.
Braiding. An old and reliable way. The thinner the strands you choose, the more intense the curl you will get. You can combine braids of different thicknesses, and you will get a great and unique look.
Winding strands onto a hairpin. However, with this method you will still need a straightening iron. Just take a strand, wrap it in a figure eight around a hairpin and heat it with an iron. The result is a very lush African hairstyle.
Which hairstyle to wear?
Volume braids. Corrugated hair holds any shape perfectly. Therefore, they are often used to create complex and long-lasting images. Braid a loose braid and slightly stretch the strands in different directions, fix with hairspray. The ruffled hairstyle for medium hair is ready.
Tourniquets. Twist your hair into one or more strands and gather them at the back of your head into a light bun, intertwining them with each other. Fix with varnish. On short hair, you can limit yourself to one element, pinning it with a beautiful bobby pin.
High tail. Looks great on long hair.
Short haircuts can be decorated with separately curled strands.
Corrugation for long hair
Hairstyles with ruffles on long hair will create a light and romantic look. If you straighten your naturally curly hair in advance, you can create a “pleated” style out of it.
A narrow corrugated curling iron for root volume will make your hair fluffy if you work the entire length. Use a curling iron to go through the strands and leave them loose. The option will take a lot of time, but the result is worth it. Stylists are sure that this style is most suitable for girls with colored hair.
A ponytail is an alternative to loose curls. Gather your hair, make an inconspicuous backcomb in a corrugated ponytail, loosen or tighten it as desired.
A French braid with small processed strands is an option for the most feminine. Braid a voluminous braid using crimped curls, loosening the loops of the braid after securing it with an elastic band.

A couple of tips when choosing tongs
If you are thinking about purchasing a corrugated iron, you should pay attention to the following points:
- Material of heating elements. It is better if the tongs are ceramic with ion coating. They have an antistatic effect and do not dry out the hair.
- The presence of a thermostat.
- Long swivel cord.
- Weight. The smaller it is, the more comfortable it will be to work.
How to make corrugation and what you need for it
In order to make corrugation you do not need any special skill. All you need is time, patience and quite accessible tools. A curling iron with corrugated attachments can be easily purchased either online or in the nearest relevant store. Or, as a last resort, you can use grandma’s old method by braiding many small braids on wet hair.
When purchasing a flat iron, pay attention to models with a ceramic surface and overheat protection. They are considered more gentle on hair.
Step-by-step instructions on how to make corrugation using an iron at home
- Wash your hair and dry it well. It is highly not recommended to do crimping with an iron on even slightly damp hair, this is very harmful to its structure;
- Comb and divide into horizontal partings;
- Heat the curling iron;
- Separate one strand at a time, starting from the roots, clamp them with tongs, holding them for several seconds, and so on all the hair;
- The end result can be fixed with varnish, but this is a preference. Since the effect will last quite a long time without this.
When crimping, hair is subjected to heat treatment, so it is extremely important to use products to strengthen and restore it.
Post-installation care
To avoid deterioration of hair quality, it is necessary to use moisturizing masks and balms.
Leave-in products, oils for nourishment and shine along the length, and serums for sealing the ends will also be useful. By following simple care rules, you will enjoy beautiful hair for a long time!

Elegant hairstyles with ruffles
Crimped hairstyles can also be very elegant. Fashionable pin-ups are ideal for a wedding, prom or other celebration.
You probably noticed that these crimped hairstyles amaze with their volume. Not surprising, because ribs make hair more visible. And the added texture (that is, zigzags) makes the hairstyles interesting and unusual. And you can be sure that at your friend’s wedding, neither your cousin nor your aunt will have such a folded bun or an elegant braid. Crimped hairstyles, while interesting, are not popular for elegant styling—and as these photos show, that's a mistake.
