Dedoliss, what is it? How to do it, benefits + extra tips

Beauty

Dedoliss is the ideal option for those who want more defined curls without having to spend on styling products or tools.

Have you ever heard about dedoliss? The extremely simple technique is perfect for those who want to shape their curls and leave them super defined. Those who have frizzy, wavy or curly hair can benefit greatly from the process. So, for those who would like longer-lasting curls, which break less easily or just have greater definition, dedoliss may be the ideal option. And the best of all? It costs nothing.

But after all, how does fingerliss work? The procedure basically consists of separating the strands into strands and wrapping them around your finger, like a curling iron. In this sense, for those who have areas of their hair that are not as defined as others, the technique helps to standardize everything. The alternative is similar to styling, which works so that, after applying the styling cream, the hair is combed with your fingers. Finally, each combed strand will be divided into three ribbons, which helps to shape the curls.

Check below everything you need to know about dedoliss, as well as its benefits, how to do it and other important information about the technique.

In the same way as tying, dedoliss simply consists of separating small strands of hair, so that it is easier to ensure definition. On the other hand, in this process, each “ribbon” is rolled up with your fingers, working like a curling iron. This way, it is possible to have defined, frizz-free curls for much longer. The alternative is perfect for those who have curls that don’t tend to define easily. It can be done on the entire hair, or just on the parts that need more styling.

The perfect curvature for the dedoliss varies from 2b to 3a, and it also works well for those who are going through hair transition. Hair that has undergone chemical procedures that modify the structure and damage the hair also benefits from the technique. Be that as it may, the only disadvantage of the alternative is that it takes a long time to complete: it cannot be done in less than half an hour. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a day without commitments to test it, as everything must be completed calmly and patiently.

The main advantages of dedoliss include greater curl definition, the possibility of providing the “day after” several times and very little frizz. Furthermore, it can be performed during the hair transition, and does not require any heat source or chemical procedure to leave the hair the way you want.

On the other hand, in terms of disadvantages, in addition to taking a long time to finish, dedoliss may leave finer hair shrunken or without volume. However, so that the problem can be solved, a little oil can be used at the end of the procedure, restoring volume and breaking up very tight curls.

The dedoliss process is extremely easy. With patience, it is possible to achieve an extremely favorable result, knowing that nothing is needed other than your fingers and a little cream. In this sense, the only necessary ingredient is the styling cream of your choice.

  1. First, divide each strand by combing them with your fingers, until you obtain thinner versions. You can divide them with clips to make the process easier, or just take the first one from the beginning of the hair.
  2. Then, choose the first strand, applying a little styling cream. Twist the strand from root to tip and wrap it around your finger, keeping it on top of your head for a few seconds and then releasing it.
  3. To obtain well-defined curls, always try to remove them from your fingers without tearing them apart. In other words, do everything very carefully.
  4. Finally, repeat the process on each strand, until the entire hair has been twisted, kneaded and curled. Let it dry naturally or use a diffuser if you prefer.

Extra tips from dedoliss

To make it possible to keep your fingers longer or just make the process easier, some tips can be incorporated into your modeling routine. For better-behaved curls, for example, mix styling gel with styling cream. Instead of curling all your hair, it is recommended to do it only in the less defined parts, this way, there is no need to deal with low volume.

It is likely that, when finished, the locks will lose a lot of their volume and appear to be “doll curls”. To solve the problem, once dry, just separate the curls into smaller sizes, which makes the look more natural.
