The preliminary to hair setting, which is the most im­portant step of all, because it gives you the foundation and line to work from, is the direction in which you comb your hair before starting the pin-curls. Examine each picture closely as we proceed step by step, and notice the direction taken by the hair around the crown.

The purpose of this combing is to create a more equal distribution of the hair by bringing forward some of the hair above the ears which would naturally tend to go back, thus exposing the ears. Combing it for­ward also makes the hair appear fuller.

In the finished hairdos throughout the book, notice, particularly around the crown, the direction taken by the straight hair before the pin-curl; here you will find a close similarity between this group of pictures and those of the finished hairdos. The next step is making the pin-curls.

PIN-CURLS

There are four different types of pin-curls. They are all good, and each one has its uses. The idea is for you to apply the needed type in the proper way

PIN-CURL PRELIMINARIES

No. 2. This is wound so that the outside ring is the widest and the end is the smallest. The curl will open up like a window shade. This kind of pin-curl would be good for any hairdo that has to lie close to the head, and is the curl most hairdressers use.

 
Pin-curl No. 3

No. 3. This is the pin-curl that is shaped like a figure 6. It stays exactly as you made it and js excellent for Italian cuts and for many kinds of "spit" curls.

Pin-curl No. 4

No. 4. This pin-curl is almost like No. 3 which is shaped like a figure 6. The only difference between them is that the inside curve of the 6 makes a complete turn in this one. As you see in the sketch, the end of it is left fairly straight.
