Roller Placement

 

The picture above shows the two basic curler sets used in all the pictures below.

Short hair styles: (Party Curls, Piquant Pixie)Hair should be cut in graduated lengths, from 2 1/2 to 5 inches. Set as shown right on 3/4 inch diameter rollers and medium sized pin curls. Front rollers are wound right to left. Rollers at crown go from center to each side. Pin curls in back go from right to left.

Longer hair styles: (Ruffled, Big Curvy Curls) Hair should be about mid-neck length. Set, as shown on the left, on jumbo rollers. Right side is set same as the left..

Ruffled Curls
Comb Out: Make a short center part.
Fluff hair up at crown.
Comb down into waves on sides with ends
                                         curved under loosely.

Big Curvy Curls turn the hairdo into evening drama. Hair is crisscrossed in frotn, flipped into curls on cheeks, pulled behind ears, pinned at nape, to bell out into flatteringly saucy, open curls.

Comb Out: Starting 2 inches behind forehead, section front hair, then cross sections and flip forward in front of ears. Turn hair at crown into big, open curls. Hold in place with pins. Bring rest of hair back of ears, fasten close to nape with bobby pins. Then arrange back hair in more large curls.
