1. Pin Curls and Finger Waves

2. Finger Waving- the process of shaping and directing the hair into an “S” pattern through the use of fingers, combs, and waving lotion
Waving Lotion- a type of hair gel that makes the hair pliable enough to keep it in place during the finger waving procedure

3. Parts of a curl Parts of a curl:
Base- foundation of the curl (area closest to the scalp)
Stem- section between the base of the curl and the first arc of the circle (gives curl direction and movement)
Circle- part of the curl that forms a complete circle (determines the width and wave of the curl)

4. Mobility of a curl:
No-stem curl- placed directly on the base of the curl (tight, firm, long-lasting curl)
Half-stem curl- placed half off the base (medium movement)
Full stem- placed completely off the base
(allows for greatest mobility)

5. Open-center curl- produces smooth, uniform waves
Closed-center curl- produces waves that get smaller in size toward the ends of
the hair

6. Curl and Stem direction:
Pin curl bases:
Rectangular- side front hairline
Triangular- front/ facial hairline

7. Arc- hairline or nape for direction
Square-
all areas (produces not much lift)

8. Cascade or stand-up pin curls- stand off the base and create height
Barrel Curls- stand off of a rectangular base and have wide center openings (similar to a roller set)
