Beginning at the open end of the shaping, carve a section from the shaping. Slide the tail of the comb to the ends of the hair, while holding the shaping at the base.
- Protecting the shaping with the index finger of your other hand, palm the comb.
- Pick up the ends of the strand with the thumb and first two fingers of your dominant hand and use them to ribbon (stretch) the hair, without disturbing the shapingat the scalp.
- Mold the hair into a curl, with the hair ends inside the curl, and holding the hair close to the head. Do not lift or elevate the strand; keep it flat while performing the curl.
- Place the curl inside the shaping and pin it with the clippie prongs directed to the curl’s open end. Pin curls must fit within the curve (or C) of the shaping, not on top of the shaping.
- Complete the row. When finished, all the clippies should be parallel to each other.
- Continue with the next row. Start at the open end and reverse the shaping.
- To finish the style, dry the hair, take out the clippies, andthoroughly brush the hair.
