Curling

Equipment

·         Curling tong

·         Hair brush

·         Tail comb

·         Section clips

·         Bobby pins

Method

1.      Firstly, using a hair brush, make sure all the knots are gone from your models hair.  Plug the curling tongs in be sure to keep the wire out of the way.

2.      Next, using your tail comb, section off the front section of hair from ear to ear and clip the rest back with section clips.

3.      Then, take a section from the front of the head and clip the rest out of the way using a section clip.  Clip the piece of hair in the tongs and begin to roll away from you.  Count to 8 depending on your models hair type then gently release the tong and let the curl hang.

4.      Use a bobby pin to hold the curl in place until you have curled the whole section.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have a head full of pin curls.

5.      Once the whole section is pincurled and cold, begin to take out the bobby pins.  You should be left with tight ringlets just like the Elizabethans.

6.      When it comes to the top section of the hair, hold the curling tong vertical so that the curl almost stands up on the head.

I have learnt this technique to curl already and I love doing it.  I feel it gives a great effect on the hair, especially for the look we were trying to achieve.  If I was to do this in the future, I would make sure all the sections I took were the same size.
