Based on the provided reference, one method to curl a long lob (long bob) involves wrapping the hair flat around a curling iron, tapping it, and gently pulling down. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Wrap the hair flat around the curling iron. This refers to a technique where the hair strand is laid flat against the barrel of the curling iron rather than twisted around it.
-
Tap the iron. After wrapping the hair, briefly and repeatedly tap the curling iron against the wrapped section. The referenced video suggests tapping for about 10 seconds.
-
Gently pull down. After tapping, gently slide the curling iron down the hair shaft, releasing the curl.
This technique aims to create a looser, more relaxed wave or curl, as opposed to a tight, defined curl. The flat wrapping and gentle pull contribute to the softer result.
