    Study Notes

    Historical Hairstyles

    • Popular hairstyles during the 1920s and 1930s include bobs, finger waves, and pincurls.

    Hairstyling Skills

    • Essential for helping clients stay contemporary and aligned with current trends.

    Client Education

    • Clients depend on hairstylists for guidance on hair care and styling options tailored to their lifestyle and fashion preferences.

    Finger Waving

    • Waving lotion is a specialized hair gel that makes the hair pliable for finger waving.

    Pin Curls

    • Versatile for all hair types: straight, permanently waved, or naturally curly.
    • Comprised of three main components: base, stem, and curl.
    • Various types include:
      • No-stem curl: placed directly on its base for tight curls with minimal movement.
      • Half-stem curl: positioned half off the base allowing medium movement.
      • Full-stem curl: entirely off the base for maximum mobility.

    Curl Techniques

    • Shaping: circular molding of hair to prepare for curls.
    • Open-center curls: pin curls that create smooth, uniform waves.
    • Closed-center curls: produce waves shrinking towards the ends.

    Base Styles of Pin Curls

    • Arc base: also known as half-moon or C-shaped curls.
    • Rectangular base: recommended for creating smooth upswept effects; curls should overlap.
    • Triangular base: helps prevent breaks in hairstyles at the front hairline.

    Curling Techniques

    • Ribboning: technique to create tension by forcing hair between the thumb and comb.
    • Carved curls: sculpted pin curls formed without lifting hair from the head.
    • Ridge curls: placed behind a ridge for wave formation.
    • Skip waves: two rows of ridge curls.

    Rollers and Thermal Styling

    • Base refers to the panel where rollers are placed, matching roller dimensions.
    • Different turns around a roller create distinct wave patterns:
      • One turn for C-shaped curl, one and a half for waves, and two and a half for curls.

    Curl Positioning

    • On base: full base for maximum volume.
    • Half base: gives medium-volume and movement.
    • Off base: produces maximum mobility with minimal volume.

    Indentation and Backcombing

    • Indentation: area where curls meet in opposite directions.
    • Backcombing: teasing hair to create volume at the scalp.
    • Backbrushing: technique for soft cushioning and blending curl patterns.

    Blow-Dry and Styling Products

    • Hair wrapping: keeps curls smooth while maintaining shape.
    • Blowdry styling: a method that dries and styles damp hair simultaneously.
    • Common styling products include foam (for volume), liquid gel (for easy styling), silicone (for gloss), hairspray (for hold), and thermal waving tools.

    Thermal Tools and Techniques

    • Flat irons and curling irons are essential for styling:
      • Hair should be tested for heat on tissue.
      • Temporary straightening called hair pressing can be performed using varying pressure techniques: soft press, medium press, and hard press, each removing different percentages of curl.

    Hair Types and Combing

    • Wiry, curly hair can be coarse, medium, or fine and has a stiff texture.
    • Scalp conditions vary by normal, tight, or flexible.
    • Pressing combs should be made of quality stainless steel or brass, with tightly spaced teeth for smooth pressing.

    Hair Care and Maintenance

    • Touch-ups may be needed when hair curls again after exposure to moisture.
    • The knot (or chignon) is a formal hairstyle resembling a bun created from a ponytail.
    • A pleat (classic French twist) is a traditional updo used in formal settings, symbolizing elegance and sophistication.
