foundation of the curl, closest to the scalp, panel of hair on which the roller is placed

part of the curl that forms a complete circle and ultimately the wave

directly on the base, tight, firm, long lasting curl

medium movement, curl places half off the base

greatest mobility, curl is place completely off base

section of hair molded in a circular movement in preparation for the formation of curls

even, smooth waves and uniform curls

waves that get smaller towards the ends

forcing the hair between the thumb and the back of the comb to create tension

sculptured curls- pin curl sliced from a shaping and formed without lifting the hair from the head

pin curls placed immediately behind or below a ridge to form a wave

2 rows of ridge curls, usually on the side of the head

large center openings and are fastened to the head in a standing position on a rectangular base

stand up curls- create height in a hair design

first passing a hot thermal iron through the hair

hair between the scalp and the first turn of the roller

circle- hair wrapped around the roller

full base- higher than 90 degrees, strand slightly in front of the base and roll the hair down

for medium volume, roller halfway on and behind the base, straight up and roll down

implements made of steel used to curl dry hair

barrel

clamp that presses the hair against the barrel/rod

method of curling the hair against the barrel

used to give a finished appearance to hair ends

provide maximum lift/volume, placed very high on the base

temporarily straightens hair by means of a heated iron/comb

removes 50-60 percent of the curl, applying thermal comb once on each side of the hair

removes 60-75 percent curls, applying thermals comb once on each side of the hair

removes 100 percent of curl, applying thermal comb twice on each side of the hair
