5.2 Curling Technique

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.
2. Section Hair: Take a small section of hair, typically 0.5 to 1 inch wide, depending on the desired curl tightness. For tight ringlets, use smaller sections.
3. Curl: Open the clamp, place the hair section between the clamp and the barrel, close the clamp, and wrap the hair around the barrel, moving towards the cool tip. Hold for 5-10 seconds, or longer for tighter curls. Use the cool tip for stability and to avoid burns.
4. Release: Open the clamp and gently release the curled hair. Allow the curl to cool in your hand for a few seconds to set.
5. Repeat: Continue with remaining sections of hair.
6. Finish: Once all hair is curled, gently run your fingers through the curls or brush lightly for a softer look, if desired.
