These curls really have nothing to do with anything French. I named them "French" curls because the way the hair is wrapped around the curling iron is similar to making a french twist.
Unlike most hair textures, you are not going to be seperating the top from the bottom. Vertically section off some hair from in front of the ear.
Start at the top, wrapping a small piece once around the barrel. Wrap away from the face.
Pick up another piece and combine it with the hair you just wrapped around. (It's sort of like making a French Twist around the curling iron.)
Wrap both piecese around the barrel exactly how you did before. Repeat all the way to the end of the curling iron.
When you use up all of the hair, just slide the coils off the barrel. Do this in verticle sections all around the head. At first the curls might look something like this...
I know, these look just a leetle bit scary, which is why you should seperate them after they have cooled for approximately ten minutes.
I love the casual, laid-back way this texture looks. Can you spy Frog Prince in the backround? Here are a few more pictures of the finished look.
And the front...
(Plus a few goofy faces from Red Riding Hood.)
Hope you enjoy,
