Pin Curls and Finger Waves
Finger Waving- the process of shaping and directing the hair into an “S” pattern through the use of fingers, combs, and waving lotion
Waving Lotion- a type of hair gel that makes the hair pliable enough to keep it in place during the finger waving procedure
Parts of a curlParts of a curlParts of a curl: Base- foundation of the
curl (area closest to the scalp)
Stem- section between the base of the curl and the first arc of the circle (gives curl direction and movement)
Circle- part of the curl that forms a complete circle (determines the width and wave of the curl)
Mobility of a curl: •No-stem curl- placed directly on the base of the curl (tight, firm, long-lasting curl) •Half-stem curl- placed half off the base (medium movement) •Full stem- placed completely off the base(allows for greatest mobility)
Open-center curl- produces smooth, uniform waves
Closed-center curl- produces waves that get smaller in size toward the ends of
the hair
Curl and Stem direction:
Pin curl bases:
•Rectangular- side front hairline•Triangular- front/ facial hairline
•Arc- hairline or nape for direction•Square- all areas (produces not much lift)
Cascade or stand-up pin curls- stand off the base and create height
Barrel Curls- stand off of a rectangular base and have wide center openings (similar to a roller set)
