Using the fingers, combs, and waving lotion to shape and direct the hair into S-shaped waves is called:
finger waving

Finger waving is a way of styling hair that teaches the technique of moving and directing hair.
During finger waving, waving lotion is applied to the hair to keep it;
pliable

When the hair is pliable, it is easier to work with and to keep in place during the procedure.
A good finger waving lotion:
does not flake when dry

A good waving lotion is designed to keep the hair in place but should dry without flaking.
You should apply finger waving lotion:
to one side of the head at a time

This prevents it from drying and requiring additional applications.
Using the fingers to pinch or push ridges in a finger wave creates:
overdirection of the ridge

Attempting to increase the height or depth of a ridge by pinching or pushing will create overdirection.
Pin curls are made up of three principal parts; base, stem, and:
circle

The circle is the part of the pin curl that forms a complete circle.
In a pin curl, the part between the base and first arc (turn) of the circle is the:
stem

The stem gives the circle its direction and mobility.
The nonmoving part of the pin curl, closest to the scalp, is the:
base

The base is the stationary, or immovable, foundation of the curl, closest to the scalp.
The pin curl stem position that produces a tight, firm, long-lasting curl is the:
no-stem curl

The no-stem curl is placed directly on the base of the curl and produces a tight, firm curl.
The pin curl stem position that gives the greatest curl mobility is the:
full-stem curl

The curl is placed completely off the base and gives as much freedom as the length of the stem will permit.
Before you form pin curls, you first mold a section of hair called the:
shaping

Shapings are either forward end or closed end.
Pin curls with open centers produce:
uniform curls

Open center curls also produce even, smooth waves.
If a fluffy curl is desired, use:
closed center curls

Closed center curls are good for fine hair or fluffy curls.
Of the four pin curl foundations or bases, the most commonly used base is the:
arc base

Arc base pin curls, also known as half-moon or C-shape base curls, are carved out of a shaping.
One factor in the formation of pin curls that does not affect the finished curl is the:
shape of the base

Different bases are recommended for different parts of the head, but the finished curl is not affected by the shape of the base itself.
