No idea!!

Take a section and clamp between the straightners and curl the hair round it while you pull the straightners down.

northerner · 08/12/2005 21:48

Hmmm. Don't quite understand that.

Erm...
Just clamp a section of hair in between the straightners and then tilt the straightners to one side and pull down the hair.

Any better?

To see results, check MN Yorkshire meetup photos!

Oh I see! Am off to a ball tommorrow and want to try it.

Where are the meetup photos and who had the curly hair - was it you?

And are you Yorkie Girl?

Hi NBG, how are you? Have been looking out for you

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 08/12/2005 21:56

Nope am not YG, I'm Nbg.

I'll see if I can link, hang on...

Hi Crazy! How are you chuck?

I'm the one in the teal top with the red hair.

I saw Lee Stafford doing this on TV, not a detailed explanation here but the technique is similar to when you curl up ribbon with scissors when you wrap a present.

crimbocrazydazy · 08/12/2005 22:02

I'm fine lovee, just finished wrapping pressies! Am shattered

Is that how you curled your hair Nbg? It looked lovely. I did mine with tongs, can't do it with my straighteners.

Did I tell you on the night that you look a bit like Chloe from Emmerdale?

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 08/12/2005 22:04

I'd seen that you'd written it on the other thread

My hairdresser said that when he coloured it, lol.

Are you feeling better now?

expatinscotland · 08/12/2005 22:04

I don't get it. Wouldn't you use a curling tong if you wanted curls in your hair?

northerner · 08/12/2005 22:04

Just looked ta the pics - NBG your hair looked stunning. How long does it last?

It will last all day. I do put some styling wax on and scrunch it in otherwise it gradually flatens out.
The great thing is, if it pees you off you can throw your hair in to a ponytail and still looks fab.

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 08/12/2005 22:07

I think curling tongs give a different curl like really defined ringlets.

Victorian doll stylee.

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 08/12/2005 22:10

Theres a closer one here

crimbocrazydazy · 08/12/2005 22:16
