1. Take small 1 x 1 inch (2.5x2.5 cm) horizontal partings and wind each section around a small barrel curly iron in a downward motion along the back, the sides, and finally the top.
2. After the curls cool, use a boar-bristle paddle styling brush to brush through the curls to break them up into a wave pattern.
3. Use a wide-tooth comb to back-comb in big sections.
4. Smooth hair into loose, curly waves.
