Curls & Frizzy Hair

Curls & Frizzy Hair

On this lesson Lottie teach us how to make a properly curls and how to crimp a hair, to achieved the Elizabethan look.

1. Using a Curling Iron

Make sure that a hair absolutely dry, brush them and divide into a section, start from a bottom up. I introduce to you my model Kate.

• Pin or clip up the top section of your hair. Using your thumbs, grab everything that's above the top of your ears and clip it up on top of your head.
• Release upper sections as you work. When the bottom section of hair is finished, unclip your hair and let out a little more, clipping up the excess again. Continue working this way until all your hair is curled.
• Remember that using bigger sections of hair will result in bigger, looser curls, while using smaller sections of hair will give you smaller, tighter ringlets, curler a hair up 12 seconds.

Start curling. Now that all the prep work is out of the way, you're ready to start curling. Begin by taking a small section of hair and wrap it around the curling iron, beginning at the top or bottom, depending on the type of tongs:

Some curling irons will have a clamp near the handle. If this is the type of curling tongs you're using, open the clamp and position the end of the hair at the lower end of the barrel, near the handle, then close the clamp to secure. Then you can wrap that entire section of hair around the iron, by rolling the iron upwards towards your roots. Stop rolling when you get about an inch away from the roots, to prevent the iron from burning your scalp.

Other curling irons, often referred to as wands, don't have a clamp. With this type of iron, you should start near the top of your hair and use your hand to wrap a piece of hair around the iron. You will need to hold the end of your hair in place while that section of hair curls. Some curling wands provide a safety glove that you can wear while doing this, to prevent your hand from burning.

Using the same way, divide your hair into a small section, start from a bottom up.

Hold on a crimper for 5 sec then release a hair. Brush a hair to achieved a big, fluffy volume

Evaluation

Well, to curler a hair it’s not so bad, but you must only remember to not burn a client head, to avoid this you can use a comb between curler and scalp, and avoid burn yourself always use a comb with long metal spatula to take out a curler. The same using a crimper.
