Marcelling (continued)

-Rotate the iron back toward you and open the iron (still holding the hair in place with the comb).

-Repeat steps 8 and 9 three times.

-Slide the open iron lightly down the panel (gently movingthe hair into an S pattern) until it reaches where you want the next ridge to be.

-Repeat the procedure, moving the hair in the opposite direction. Do this until the entire panel is waved.

-Curl the ends under

4. Marcel the next panel in the subsection 

-The process for Marcelling the next panel is the same as the previous steps

-Make sure the the waves match up,so all the ridges and lines match up with each other

5. Marcel the rest of the hair

As you continue moving up the head and marcelling the hair, follow these steps:

-Drop another entire subsection. The previously waved hair is your guide; check the previous direction before beginning the next wave.

-Divide the subsection into as many panels as necessary. Each panel should be a little shorter than the length of the barrel

-Starting with the center panel, glide the iron lightly over the hair until it reaches the first ridge of this panel.

-Hold the hair at an elevation close to the previously waved hair so it can be used to match waves, but high enough so that the iron does not touch the wave underneath.

-Match the wave to the one below it and marcel in the same direction.

-Continue the marcel procedure on adjacent panels.

-Work subsection by subsection, until there is enough length at the top of a panel to require adding another 

wave (ridge). This means that there isn’t a wave underneath that part of the hair.

-Add a wave as necessary, making sure that it goes in the reverse direction of the one directly below it.

-When waving the sides of the client’s head, stand on theside.

-When finished, wait for hair to cool
