Marcelling
Create 1/2 to 1" subsection at the nape, divide into 2 panels.
Each panel should be slightly shorter than length of the barrel.
Approx. 1" from scalp to start first wave
Using comb, move hair to one direction and close the iron
Move hair farther to create a more dramatic ridge.
Hold hair in this position and rotate the iron towards the scalp
Repeat 3 times
Open iron and move down panel to where you're putting the next wave
Move hair to the opposite direction each wave
At bottom of the panel, curl ends under.
Move the next panel, make sure to line up troughs and ridges
After taking down each subsection the new panel needs to match the one underneath.
Add a wave to the panel when necessary
When finished, wait for hair to cool and lightly comb out.
