Summary

Barrel curls are loose ringlets or spirals that can be created with a curling iron or hair curlers. Pin curls are small sections of hair that are rolled and pinned to create various hairstyles. The base is the area closest to the scalp where the roller or pin is placed. Carved curls are pin curls that are sliced from shaping and formed without lifting the hair from the head. Stand up pin curls create height in the hair design and are also known as cascades. Finger waving is the process of shaping the hair into s-shaped waves using fingers, combs, and waving lotion. Ribboning is a technique of forcing the hair between the thumb and the back of the comb to add tension. Wrapping is the use of absorbent papers to control the ends of the hair when wrapping it around perm tools. Other techniques include half base, half stem curls, off base, on base, open center curls, ridge curls, shaping, skip waves, semi-pin curls, and flat pin curls. Brick lay is a technique where base sections are offset from each other row by row to blend the flow of the hair. Lastly, a spiral perm is a type of perm where the hair is wrapped at an angle other than perpendicular to the length of the tool.
