• Work should be done only with clean curls. Oily hair, as well as the remains of styling products will negatively affect the appearance of the hairstyle, in addition, weighted strands will get their original shape much faster.
• For stiff hair rods, it is recommended to use fixative formulations that will provide a lasting effect of waves on the hair. For these purposes, you can use foam or mousse. In order to get a wet-effect styling, the craftsmen usually additionally use wax or gel.
• For hair, where the corrugation is planned to get with the help of weaving braids, it will work correctly with wet curls.

• On the head should be parted, split the hair, lifting the upper strands and stab them with clamps. They will be needed in order to cover up the curled curls in the future.
• The lower strands are selected from the total mass, selecting their thickness individually. To get a good amount even for haircuts with bangs, the length of the twisted curl at the root should be at least 5 centimeters. From its size will directly depend on the volume of installation. Strands are alternately clamped with forceps on the back of the head, for maximum effect, you can work out the side zones.
