FMS406SalmonM x Hair Technical Crimping with straighteners.

In my recent hair practical I got to experiment with the crimping method again, but this time using straighteners in bobby pins. I found this method really enjoyable and simple but I often had trouble remembering what way I should be facing and directing the crimped hair sections. I feel like this method of crimping the hair is really practical in terms of time management if you only want your hairstyle to focus on the front of the head and face area.

So the technique was to section the middle of the head leaving two sections at the top and bottom on the dolls head, making the bottom into a bun. Then section a even smaller part of your front section, mainly just the starting hairline, this is they section you will crimp. Taking one small section of hair you being to wrap the hair around a wide tooth bobby clip in a 8 section that mimics a tight twist then seal this upwards with a bobby pin. Once this is secure you close your straighteners around this pinned section for just a few seconds and then leave to cool before unraveling the hair. This crimped curl effect you achieve, is much more tighter and denser then using normal crimpers, which I preferred much more. When you have created these crimped sections you can begin to pull apart the sections, or comb them out making them fluffy and full of volume.

I decided to fluff out all of my front crimped sections, making them look full and wide, and then began to back comb the rest of my front section of my dolls head. I back combed the head and then created a beehive style I had learnt in my previous lesson mixing it with the front crimped hair I had created. I think I may experiment by using this method again but only focusing on a small section of the front of the hair and then back combing it so it stands up straight, like a crown almost.
