The first step in the procedure for forming reverse counter-clockwise
curls is
a. Direct the hair back around the index finger and then place the thumb
at the base of the cul to bind the hair into a semicircle.
b. Place the circled hair down on its base. The ends are looped into the
center of the circle.
c. Insert the end of the comb into the hair at the open end of the
shaping and place the index finger of the left hand over the shaping
to hold the hair.
d. Ribbon the ends, holding the hair at the top of the circle that is
formed.
e. Section off the width of hair needed for the curl. Slice across and
under the shaping to separate the section needed for the curl from
the remainder of the hair.
