Pincurling: Flat / Stand -up (continued)

Pincurling: Flat / Stand-up (continued)

Variations

Common variations on this basic pin curl technique includethe following:

• Horizontal pattern with side part

• Vertical pattern with no part

• Diagonal pattern

• Circular pattern (pompadour)

• Volume/stand-up pin curls

• Combination of flat and volume

Horizontal Pattern with Side Part

To create this set, use the same procedure as for the basicpin curl set, except for the following:

• Create a 3" L-shaped part on the left side.

• Create a counter-clockwise diagonal shaping from the front hairline to the back of the part. This is the only

row that does not circle around the head. (See row 1 in bottom illustration.)

• Create a second shaping that will flow in a reverse

(clockwise) direction around the head. (See row 2 in

bottom illustration.)

Vertical Pattern with No Part (Pompadour)

Vertical waves can be created by placing pin curls in a

horseshoe pattern around the front hairline and along both

sides, until they meet in the back. The set described here is apompadour (no part; worn back, off the face).

To create this set, use the same procedure as for the basic

pin curl set, except for the following:

• Begin by creating a clockwise shaping at the front

hairline to create a left-flowing wave. Next, create a

right-flowing (reversing) wave on the right side of the

head, at the open end.

• Continue reversing the waves in this S pattern until the

entire front and both sides are waved. The waves should

fall into a horseshoe pattern and meet in the back.

Diagonal Pattern

Diagonal waves can be used to create a pleasing profile.

Create these waves by placing pin curls on the sides of the

head, slanting upwards from the hairline.

To create this set, use the same procedure as for the basic

pin curl set, except for the following:

• Form a diagonal S pattern shaping on the side of the

head.

• Form a diagonal clockwise C shaping, and sculpt no-stempin curls from the shaping.
