Setting Directions for The Beehive

 

Hair length

Front: Starting with 3 inches all around hairline at the face getting longer toward the crown to approximately 6 inches. BACK: 3-1/2 inches at nape to 6 inches at crown.

Set

Top: For the bang, make a 2-inch side part. Part off a section from part to receding and wind two large rollers down on an angle. These rollers are floated. Directly behind the bang start circle of beehive by centering three large rollers. The little piece of hair at the receding line between bang and centered rollers is wound on a short roller.

Heavy Side: The hair is combed down from temple to ear and wound down on two rollers-one floating on middle ear and the other floating from temple to eye line.

Parted Side: Wind one roller down from part and float at the receding line. Comb hair down from temple toward ear to float two rollers.

Back: The beehive gets its height in the crown. Using four jumbo rollers wind the crown in the opposite direction of the top. All hair beneath crown is combed in the same direction as the crown. Start to wind angle partings toward parted side. When you have finished, the row in the nape section may be wound on thinner rollers.
