WET DESIGN

Wet design refers to the area of hair designing in which the hair is manipulated into the desired shapes and movements while wet and then allowed to dry

FINGERWAVES

You are moving and directing hair with the most basic tools: your own fingers, a comb and waving lotion.

Created by molding two complete alternating oblong shapes - using your fingers and comb - that are joined and connected by a ridge.

PINCURLS

Pin curls are one of the many ways you are able to temporarily change the direction and texture of the hair.

COMPONENTS

DESCRIBED IN THREE PARTS

• The base
• The stem (arc)
• The circle

Untitled Slide

The stem (arc) is the beginning portion of the strand that demonstrates the direction of the curl. The stem determines the amount of movement a pincurl will have.

The pincurl circle is the remaining end of the strand that forms the curl. The size of the circle determines the width and strenght of the wave.

On base pincurl

• Entire circle of curl on the base
• Used to:
• Produce left or strong curl effect
• Create a strong wave line.

ON BASE PINCURL

Half-Off base

• Half of the circle is below base
• Used when:
• Equal degree of direction and volume

Untitled Slide

Off-Base

• Stem and circle are below the base
• Used when:
• Design closeness and mobility are required
• Usually in the nape or hairline.

Untitled Slide

Underdirected

• Base control sits on the lower portion
• Used to create reduced volume

Untitled Slide

Overdirected

• Circle sits in the upper portion
• Used to create exaggerated direction

Untitled Slide

Straight pincurls are large, stand-up pincurls that achieve a similar effect to hair would around a roller, but result in weaker volume.

Indentation pincurls are used to create hollow space and flare. Generally, indentation pincurls follow volume pincurls in a hair design.

Curvature pincurls

• Three common types
• Flat
• Volume
• Indentation

Flat, volume and indentation pincurls are set here within an alternating oblong pattern to create closeness, fullness and dimension.

Untitled Slide

Flat pincurls

• Used for closeness
• No stem curl

Volume pincurls

• Used to create fullness and height
• Can be positioned anywhere on the head

Untitled Slide

Pincurls: Half-Circle and Half-Oval

When setting curvature volume pincurls within a half-circle, all incurls are positioned at an equal distace away from the point of origin.

When setting curvature volume pincurls within a half-oval, the pincurls are positioned at an unequal distance away from the point of origin to achieve fast, medium and slow speeds.
