You can use Marsell tongs which are run by no electric, and heated in the oven.
On a shoot, prep the hair before doing the makeup as its a long process, and gives it time to dry.
Remember the makeup can start to melt under the hood dryer.
Hair can be hot, so understand the difference between hot hair and wet hair is key.
If it is not dry, it will drop.
- Setting lotion
- A firm hold or wet look gel, depending on whether you want it to go hard, or look wet.
- Metal clips to hand as they have a flat bottom and flat inside. - Normal clips have teeth which will leave marks and indents on the hair.
Obviously with wet hair, it will stay soft and is easier to brush out. With gels, it will be harder to take it out of its shape. When the hair is hot it can be easier manipulated.
- Place hair in parting and comb through thouroughly
- Decide where you want the finger wave to start
- Take first section and put finger in, deciding where you want the clip to go, then turn the hair in the opposite direction (towards face)
- Take comb and push back hair against finger, and slide clip in that angle that curve is working. Push clip in against the head to help create an 'S' shape. (Away from the face)
- Follow finger down and get the next section, and comb back in completely opposite direction of first wave, (away from face)
- Repeat the first wave, however placing the clip in the opposite direction (towards the face)
- This process is repeated down the head until no more can be fitted in
- The remaining hair at the bottom is moulded into an 'S' shape and pin curled
- Place a net over the models hair, this is because the airflow and heat can move the hair around, so its used for protection
- Sit model under the hood dryer
- Wait for hair to be completely dry
With tongs-
Use a smaller tong and make sure they are very hot
Change side of tongs all the way down the hair, having the barrels next to each other.
Add hairspray to help set it.
