Hair Idea

I found this on Knottie Jacque85's bio today, and wanted to put it somewhere safe!  I've been thinking of doing something like this with my hair, but have no clue how to work it!  Everything below is cut and pasted from her bio.

Ok, so first of all you have to start with straight hair. (if you have curly, you need to straighten it first), then you will use a 1" curling iron. You take a small section of your hair, put some Matrix Flix Trix(sp) or any other pomade that is not gooey, one or two spritzes of Paul Mitchell Freeze and shine super spray. Now you are ready to actually curl the piece. DO NOT clamp your hair and roll it up. Take the curling iron and place it at the root of the section and wind the hair with your other hand from root to tip around the barrell, this is the KEY to getting the waves. After all of it was curled I put a little more pomade in my hands and tousled a little bit. Then I back-combed the crown so that It lifted up a little in the back. Then take small bobby pins and pin pieces back till you are satisfied. Finish with some shine spray and a brooch and VOILA!!! Hope this helps!!!
