So, I've got a curling question ("curly q"?) for you. What do you do with the very back of your hair when you do this style? Do you continue to curl in the same directions as pictured in the side-view until they meet in the middle? Do you just leave the back alone? Am I perhaps making my curls too small? Something else? <br />Help! and thanks!<br /> - Miz L.literaghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076086586111376424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-9513485633033823412012-02-06T17:44:48.614-08:002012-02-06T17:44:48.614-08:00I have just found this gem of a post!

First off, I think it's so cool you're 12 and trying out this style! <br /><br />For the upright curls, the ones at the front, take the brush and brush very well in an upward motion, adding some pomade (even lotion works in a pinch) to smooth out the afro look.
