Step 1
Always use thermal protection when using any form of heat on
your hair. We like Paul Mitchell Heat Seal because not only does
it protect the hair from heat, it also helps to resist humidity
and hold your style in place for longer.

Step 2
For the best finish start by blow drying or straightening the hair.
This will provide you with an easy to manage base for creating curls.
|
|
Step 3
Divide the hair in half, from the parting in a straight line down to the
nape of your neck, then clip one half out of the way.
|
|
Step 4
On the other side, use a pintail comb to make a horizontal section
of hair at the bottom of your head (curling is easier when you work
from the bottom to the top of the head). The smaller the section,
the tighter the curl will be, larger sections will create waves.

Step 5 - Option 1
Using the Paul Mitchell Pro Smoother
• With relaxed tension, clamp the smoothers 1 inch from the scalp.
• Then twist them upwards by about 180 degrees.
• From this position gently and slowly (without stopping) slide the
smoothers down the hair shaft. If it's jerky or making lines on the
hair, you're holding the smoothers too tight. Loosen up!
• When the hair leaves the smoothers, while it's still hot, twirl the
hair in your fingers to make sure it's the shape you want and is
going in the right direction. If you want more of a wave, twirl in
the direction you want and pull it down straight while it's cooling.
• Take the next horizontal section on that side and repeat all steps.
Work the horizontal sections upwards one by one, when you have
finished that side repeat all steps on the next.

Step 5 - Option 2
Using the Paul Mitchell Pro Curling Wand
• Clamp the section under the spoon lever.
• Wind the hair around the wand and hold for just a few seconds.
• Gently unclamp the hair and move the wand away from the curl
without moving the curl.
• Take the next horizontal section on that side and repeat each
step. Work the horizontal sections upwards, one by one and when
you have finished that side move onto the next.

Step 6 - Finishing
PAUL MITCHELL GLOSS DROPS - Creates a silky, smooth
finish and provides long-lasting shine. Resists humidity.
PAUL MITCHELL FOAMING POMADE - Gives intense shine and
creates silky, smooth texture and control. It is highly concentrated
so a little goes a long way. This product works particularly well on
medium to thick and very curly or coarse hair.
Note; When using Gloss Drops or Foaming Pomade, spread the
product evenly through the midlengths & ends. Avoid the root area.
PAUL MITCHELL WORKED UP - A hairspray that gives
long-lasting flexible hold, enhances shine and
