Study Notes
Wet Styling Techniques
- Wet styling involves manipulating hair into desired shapes while wet, then allowing it to dry.
- Fingerwaving is a technique used to shape hair into graceful waves.
Fingerwave Mechanics
- Fingerwaves are created using two interconnected oblong shapes, linked by a ridge.
- Shadow waves are characterized by low ridges.
Pincurls Overview
- Pincurls, also known as sculpture curls, are a method to temporarily change hair's direction and texture.
- Key components of a pincurl include the base, stem (or arc), and circle.
Pincurl Components
- The base is the area at the scalp between partings within a shape.
- The stem indicates the curl direction and movement.
- The circle forms the curl; its size determines the wave's width and strength.
Types of Pincurls
- Common types of pincurls: flat, volume, and indentation.
- Flat pincurls create closeness and result in a no-stem curl.
- Volume pincurls add fullness and height, also known as stand up or cascade pincurls.
- Indentation pincurls create space and flair, often resulting in flips.
Pincurl Base Shapes
- Base shapes include triangle, square/rectangle, and crescent.
- Triangle shapes are used on straight shapes and hairlines.
- Square/rectangle shapes are utilized within overall square styles.
- Crescent shapes work well in curves like circles and oblongs.
Base Control Techniques
- The tool's diameter influences the base width.
- Half off base (half base) involves holding hair 90 degrees from the center and rolling it to the bottom parting.
- On base (full base) has hair held at 45 degrees above the center, rolled to the center.
- Off base entails holding hair 45 degrees below the center, rolling it below the bottom.
- Underdirected holds hair at 90 degrees from the base and rolls it to the lower part.
- Overdirected (volume base) is when hair is held at 45 degrees above, rolled to the upper part.
Effects of Base Control
- On base yields maximum volume and strength.
- Half off base provides moderate volume and strength.
- Off base results in the least volume and strength.
- Underdirected reduces volume and strength.
- Overdirected increases volume but reduces base strength.
Pincurl Movement and Styling
- Texture character refers to various wave patterns, including curls and crimped textures.
- Indentation is defined as hollowness between regions of volume.
- "Relaxing the set" integrates bases using cushion brushes near the scalp.
Additional Styling Techniques
- Rollers serve to set hair and achieve effects similar to pincurls.
- Skip waves combine finger waves and flat pincurls.
- Ridge curls consist of an oblong followed by pincurls.
Adjusting Patterns and Effects
- The size of the circle in curls affects wave width and strength; smaller circles create tighter, stronger waves.
- Closed circle pincurls yield smaller, stronger waves, offering fluffiness.
- Flat pincurls are chosen for closeness in hairstyles.
- The stem defines the amount of movement in each pincurl.
Base Control Applications
- Half off base achieves balanced direction and volume.
- On base produces lift and strong curls.
- Overdirected results in curls positioned in the upper part of the base.
- Underdirected places curls in the lower part of the base.
Special Characteristics
- Indentation curls initiate from the concave end of a shape.
- Off-base pincurls create closeness and mobility while reducing volume.
- Skip waves result from combining flat pincurls and fingerwaves.
- The hollow of a fingerwave is termed a recess.
