Technical File: Curls

Curls

During this session we focused on curls. I did two different types of curls on each side of the head using curling tongs. On one side I held the tongs vertically (spiral curls) and held in sections of hair for twelve seconds. I then removed the tongs and pinned the curls into place using Kirby grips to help them set. The other side was similar but I held the tongs horizontally (lift curls)  and then pinned them into place after the curl was created. After the whole head was done I took out all of the grips and shook the head to make them looser and lightly brushed them through with a paddle brush. I personally thought that the curls on the left side of the head (the spiral curls) looked better because there was more volume to them. I also found it easier to section the hair for these curls.
      




Next we moved onto brick work. This is a technique of sectioning the hair to get even curls, for example, one on top, then two underneath then three underneath that and then one underneath that.  I felt like this helped me when it came to sectioning as it’s something I struggle with.
