Crimping And Back Combing

     Our lesson on crimping and back combing was such fun! It really took me back to the 90s crimped hair that all of use desired to have and begged our parents for crimpers (just me?) We also learned different ways of styling the hair and creating frizz and heigh with the hair by using rat buns and back combing to create different shapes with the hair that Elizabethans liked to rock.

Crimping and back combing:

1. Start off by sectioning the hair on both sides from the ear to the front of the head and clip back the hair in the back
2. take one side of the hair and take small sections and crimp working up the hair
3. after this is complete, take those sections and back combing them by slowly pushing the hair back on itself with the comb
4. brush out the hair slightly to make the hair more manageable
5. smooth out the hair that'll be on show and roll back on itself and pin into place

Crimping and using rat bun:

1. Start off the same by crimping the hair
2. take the section and using the rat bun roll the hair over the bun and pin into place, (another technique you can use is take a small section of hair and french braid it and pin the rat bun into place though the braid)
3. smooth out the hair to create a nicer finish to the hair
