If you omit this step, you may panic and not know what to do.

Method 2 of 6: Prepare the hair
Step 1. Start with dry, brushed hair
Make sure there are no wet or knotted spots. If you find damp strands, pat them dry and comb them.
Step 2. Using barrettes, part your hair as follows:
-
Start at the top of the hair (those above the ears) and tie back.

Step 3. After parting your hair in this way, take some hairspray and spray it on the final part of the hair (the one that remains outside the clips)
Once all the tips are sprayed, roll the strand around your fingers and wait a minute or two.
Step 4. Repeat this operation for each lock
Method 3 of 6: Put aluminum on the hair
Step 1. Roll up the end of the strand with aluminum foil
Step 2. Repeat this operation for each lock
Step 3. Insert the ends of the aluminum sheet inside so that it remains stationary
Step 4. Continue this process over the entire surface of the head, moving towards the center and then towards the top
Method 4 of 6: Plate the aluminum
Step 1. With the hot plate, press the aluminum-coated strand
Step 2. Hold the straightener on the strand for just a few seconds and then remove it
Contact with aluminum can cause burns
Step 3. Repeat the operation with all the locks
Method 5 of 6: Remove the aluminum
Step 1. Wait until the sheets have completely cooled down
This will take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot they were. If you are not sure, touch them lightly with your fingers and, if they are still too hot, wait a little longer.
Step 2. Start removing the aluminum from the lower strands
Step 3. Repeat the operation until you have freed all the strands from the aluminum
Method 6 of 6: Final touch
Step 1. After removing all the aluminum, put some hairspray on your hair
Step 2. Arrange strand by strand so that you have well-defined curls
