Curls and Waves



Today i got into a facebook dialogue with an old friend from high school about how I create the perfect waves and curls. I use hottools marcel iron for both but I use it differently for different results. For waves I use the curing iron as a hot rod of sorts, taking a vertical section of hair, wrapping it around the iron for 3 seconds, then releasing and letting it cool in a pretty wavy curl. Wrap the vertical section away from face, not towards face. don't clamp hair into iron for wave effect, wrap! For loose curls, clamp hair the same in curling iron for 6 seconds or longer and for a more structured curl pattern, clamp vertical and horizontal sections of hair with the hottools marcel iron and use pin curl clips to pin each section of hair to head and let head cool and set once done for about 5-7 mins. Release all curls and unravel a few around the face with fingers. Use Kenra or Biosilk hairspray but don't spray directly on hair...... spray above head and let mist fall. Shake it out a bit and the hair will be great.
