How to Make Sculpture Curls

Here's another tutorial on sculpture curls, this time with photographs, from Ivan of Hollywood:

Especially now that permanent waves can be given by the use of curls, it is even more important that we know how to make perfect sculpture curls. After hairstyling contests and demonstrations, students and beauticians have express their desire to learn the author's method of making sculpture curls. In response to those requests, photographs of each step in making sculpture curls are given.








Part off a block of hair about one inch square. The blocks will vary in size depending on the degree of tightness or looseness desired.
Then comb the hair in the same direction that the detail will take when the curls are dried and combed out.
Comb the strands of hair with a twisting motion of the comb in order to find the permanent, or natural wave tendency.
This shows how the hair will look when the permanent or natural wave tendency has been found.
Following the permanent or natural wave tendency, form the outside loop. The fold the second loop inside of the outside loop.
Continue to fold all succeeding loops inside of the last loop made. The ends of the strands are placed in the center of the sculpture curl.
It will be noted that the sculpyure curl is started at the base rather than starting at the end and working towards the base. Attention is called to the fact that the strands of hair are not wound around the finger in pin curl fashion.
Bobby or hairpins are inserted to hold the sculpture curl in place until dry. Bobby pins are recommended because they are faster (use only one) and do not allow the curl to slip out of position during drying time. To avoid ridges on the curl do not slide the bobby pin over the curl. Do hold the bobby pin open until it completely covers the curl.
