12. Marcelling

1. Make sure hair is 100% dry, side part to crown and down middle back of head

2. Plan (determine space between waves and ridges, direction of waves, etc.)

3. At nape, create 1/2"-1" subsection and divide that into panels narrower than length of barrel

4. Apply the iron to the top of the panel, approximately 1”

from the scalp, and remove the comb. The hair is now

lying between the barrel and the tong.

5. Using the teeth of the comb, move the hair to the right

or left depending on which way you want to begin the

wave.

6. While still holding the hair with the comb, close the iron.

7. Move the hair further in the desired direction (either left or right). This strengthens the ridge.

8. While still holding the hair in position with the comb, rotate the iron away from you, toward the head.

9. Rotate the iron back toward you and open the iron (still

holding the hair in place with the comb).

10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 three times.

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

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

13. Continue taking panels and subsections matching to bottom/panels next to it until done
