The Curl Era
Just read a cool article from the Feb/March 2009 issue of Verve Girl featuring a how-to-guide on creating iconic curls. Check out the article to get step-by-step instructions to achieve: starlet curls of the 50’s, the 60’s beachy bohemian wave, the 70’s fro and the big hair of the 80’s.
My favorite is the afro – here’s how to get the look:
Step 1: On clean hair, apply your favorite product (mouse, pudding, setting lotion) – whatever works best for your hair.
Step 2: Section off hair – I usually do four sections (two in the front, two in the back) and then I usually section off from there.
Step 3: Using half or quater inch sections, roll hair away from the face. Perm rods, small rollers or bendables all work well.
Step 4: Let hair air dry completely (will take a while) or use a hooded dryer on medium for faster drying.
Step 5: Remove rollers and work a smoothing balm into curls. I suggest seperating each curl for extra volume. And voila -a retro hairdo with a modern twist.
