Curling, Crimping and Frizzing

Here are some images which I researched, they show how their hair was curled and crimped.

Curling

In order to get the best curl you should get a small section of hair, place the end of the hair under the metal clasp at the end of the tongs and carefully roll the tongs up the head with the hair wrapping around it. Always hold the curling tongs vertically as close to the root as you can without burning the person so you are able to create a nice shape. To get a nice tight curl it is better to use small sections of hair and always hold the curl in place with a Kirby grip so the curl stays tight as this will help it to last longer as well. 

Crimping

It is very simple to crimp only as long as you hold the hair straight so you are able to get the best possible effect. You just grab a small section of hair and brush it through so there are no knots, you comb to the top of the roots, pull it down and place the crimper's onto the hair. You hold it there for approximately 10 seconds depending on the thickness of the hair and go down the length of hair in sections so that every part of the hair is eventually crimped. You can get a lot of volume from crimping and it gives the hair a lovely texture.

After creating this look I brushed the hair design out to see how it would look. The curls looked a lot more natural and the crimping looked a lot frizzier and more bushy. I preferred the hairstyle before brushing it out.

Crimping the hair with grips and straightners

You simply get a small piece of hair, place it in between the Kirby grip and twist the hair around the hair grip from one side to another. To get a tight curl again use smaller sections. When you have twisted all the hair you can keep it in place with a Kirby grip and then gently press the straightners on the hair which is tucked around the hair grip and hold for approximately 5 seconds. Then take the grip out and you will be able to see a lovely, tight curl.

After creating this look I then brushed it out to see what effect it would give. It made the hair look extremely frizzy and I thought it will be a great style to use if you were trying to create an afro hairstyle.
