Abstract
In this method of producing waves or curls, heated irons of various shapes are used to soften and form the hair. The effects compare favourably with other heat-moulded techniques, for example heated rollers and blow styling. Although waving with irons is no longer fashionable it remains a good exercise of hand, tool and hair control and methods of iron-waving can be applied to modern styling and fashion. Appreciation of wave shape, and the discipline derived from its practice, are invaluable.
