Curling

We did a lesson on different types of curling this week, it was interesting to see how different methods created varying results...

                     These curls were made using heated rollers to create big bouncy curls, this is an effective method that looks glamorous and lasts, it can be time consuming though, placing and attaching the rollers and waiting for them to take effect. As with all other curling methods you have to be careful of the heat on the models head and the direction of the curl being correct. We also tried out two different methods of attaching the rollers, pins are the classic method and hold well however some people prefer using the grips because they are slightly easier to attach etc.

These next curls were created using a curling wand, it is a simple, easy, quick and effective method of creating curls. After we had used the curling wand we held the curls in place using grips, this allows the curls to set better as they cool.

The last way we used curls was to create volume to the hair at the root.

The photos are the next step, when we used our practicing of curls to create a 50's 60's style up-do. This is the hairstyle Hayley created on me, she used tongs to curl the very bottom section and then heated rollers for the rest of the hair (sectioned and symmetric sizes of rollers used on both sides). She then pinned and gripped the hair into the style and shape she wanted. I think this looked really effective, however due to my thin uncooperative hair it didn't stay in place for long.
