1. Spiral. We divide the hair into strands. Their size is determined by how big the curls you want to achieve.We wrap a strand from the root. We move the iron along it, pausing at the ends.
2. Harnesses. We roll the strand into a bundle and run an iron along it.
3. Broken. Place the strand on the foil, cover it, and fold it like an accordion. We iron for half a minute at 190 degrees. It turns out to be a kind of zigzag strand.
