Parts of a curl �Parts 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 curlproduces smooth, uniform waves �Closed-center curlproduces 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 • Squareall 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)
