I'm a new student but I saw something like that in my text book. When you curl it you drag the curling iron along the hair and take a comb and push the hair in a zig zag pattern. Sorry if it's not the best explanation

Foil!!
Place the hair on a pice of foil and fold it up (imagining how it will fall when foil is removed) and heat foil with hair straighteners!! And you should get a cute zig zag!!
I have done a hole head of this be for and it worked a treat xx

Does the piece of hair need to be any particular thickness??

Ok, get a piece of foil and make it into a long flat ruler shape, then bend it in half. Weave a section of hair around the Foil if that makes sense and then clamp the straighteners around the foil. ( wider the foil bigger the zig zag).

Hi i use a very slim hair wand and this gives this type of curl. Also i have wrapped a section of hair around a barbeque skewer and held ghds over, the heat sets a springy curl lol.x :lol:

Bendable pipe cleaner, shape into v and weave hair stand in and out and apply heat

One of the girls in my old Salon, used to prefer Zig Zag type curls,We used to do her Perm on saved/used Tint tubes instead of rollers,The effect was great..was quite a talking point with clients too If you can get them to stay in and resist the heat you can use just about anything to set with !

Iv done this with kirby grips, open up a clip, and wrap the hair round like a figure of 8 then heat it up a little with irons, you can also do a tiny little curl if you wrap round a tail comb.
Takes ages but looks fab
The foil sounds great too, good luck, let us know how you get on x x

 

[candis]

Thanks everyone! Great ideas!
I have done it with a tail comb for thR tiny curls they are great!
Also looking at the pic again how would u put that up I have an idea in mind just wanna see what u guys think? X

You can get a crimping iron with wavy plates - from the photo it looks to me like they were used - they have a really rounded zig and zag! I think they have some on offer at aston and fincher.
