14 Thermal Iron Curl Styling

Forming the Base

✔️Make sure that the hair is 100% dry. While holding the iron, pick up a section of the hair usingthe little finger of your dominant hand or section with a comb. The size of the base for a thermal iron curl is the diameter of the barrel and about 2V" long.

✔️Place hair in comb (teeth up) at the desired elevation. Remember that the higher the elevation, the stronger the base and the less mobile the hair.

✔️Apply the iron as close to the scalp as possible, taking care not to touch the scalp.

✔️Keeping the tong of the iron slightly open, and using the comb to keep the hair in iron, rotate the iron toward you gently. Closing the iron will create a “crimp” across the base of the curl. Make sure to keep the hair at the desired elevation as you work.

✔️Without letting go of the hair, proceed to creating the curl.

Forming Croquignole Curls (for hair under 5” in length)

✔️Holding the curl at the correct elevation, pull out to the hair end. Do this by curving the iron with the tongand barrel close together.

✔️With the comb held at the scalp, roll down to complete the curl.

✔️Remove the curl from the iron by gently clicking the iron to the right and moving the hair with the comb.

✔️Optional: Clip the curl in place for a firmer set.

✔️When the hair cools, remove the clips (if you used them) and brush the hair through to finish, applying hair spray or other product as necessary.
