Hair Technique - Curling

 Curling of the hair is a fairly simple technique to master. Curling tongs come in a variety of sizes, depending on the size of curl you wish to achieve. In order to curl the hair, you should prep it to suit its conditions. Always use heat defense so that you don't damage the hair. Section the hair to suit the size of the curler.

 

If you want the curl to face towards you, place the lever of the tong away from you. If you want the curl to face away from you, place the lever of the tong towards you. To put the hair into the tong, pull the section of hair away from the head and place the last third of the hair onto the tong. Wrap this around the tong using your hand and then hold in place with the lever. Wrap the tong towards the head and hold for 15 seconds. Once this time is up, hold the top of the tong and let the top third of the hair free from the tong. Unravel the rest in a circular motion so that the curl has time to set. Repeat this until you have your desired look!
