Squared, triangle curls

[SabrinaGermany]

Hi girls!!!

Long time no post!! But in one week the holiday will begin and I will post some new FOTDs and will be here more often!!!!

I have a big question about curls! Last week I saw the dating show "Dismissed" on MTV.. there was one girl that had some kind of squared curls. I don´t know if "squared" is the right word. They don´t look round but more triangle or something like that. I couldn´t find a pictures in the internet of this curls. Perhaps you hav a clue which curls that could be and how to create them?

Hugs,

Sabrina

Welcome back!

I'm not really sure what you mean... have you been able to find a pic?

Hey,

I think i know what may have been...... though i havent actually tried it myself. In early May i went to a hair show in New York and they had these really cool curling irons that were triangular and square rods. Just like a traditional iron that you wrap the hair around. They gave the hair a really cool look, does that sound like what it might have been?

I dont know where you would buy one from though. I havent seen them anywhere around be, but i'm on the other coast and in Canada so we dont get as much variety here. I wish i'd have bought them though, for using on my clients here

Hi girls!!!!!

THX for welcome me back so nice!!!

Oh yes, I describes it really bad, because of my bad english and because of the fact that I don´t know how to describe those curls.. and I am not able to find a picture of it!!

Lynzei: I think that is EXACTLY what I mean. Do you have any pictures of this curls or the curling irons? I started some search on ebay, but wasn´t able to find some pictures. :-( Perhaps you have some!

I need one of those gorgeous curling irons.

THANX for your help girls...

that was a popular trend for teenagers here in the late 80's. I had a curling iron where the barrel was flat (more like a flattened oval shape). The curling iron was called the "Frenzee", the handle was hot pink. I think they were made by Conair. They used to give you the triangle and square curls (depending on how long you left the iron on your hair, the long you left it on the more triangle shape it became, if you left it on for a short time the more square shape it became.

I did a quick search and this is what I came up with...

It's a triangle shaped curling iron, which is think is what you might be looking for. It's discontinued though, so you probably won't be able to find it in stores. You would probably have to buy it online or find another brand that sells it.

 

[NYAngel98]

wow... I haven't seen those in so long! lol Now I know what you're talking about... try ebay - maybe they have some for sale?

 

[SabrinaGermany]

hey, that looks really good. I will try ebay for that. Did you also find a picture of the result- how the curls turns out after using that?

Thanx for your awesome help---!!!

I searched and searched but I couldn't find a picture of triangle curls on someone. I'm very curious to see what it would look like!

I wonder how it looks when you curl. It's the first time I hear about that also.

 

[lynzei]

sabrinagermany - Im sorry, i didnt get the name of the company that was selling them, or any pictures

The actual barrel of the curling irons are either triangular or square so you wrap the hair around it in a spiral. So the result is sort similar to a normal curling iron but the windy bit is more kinky and shaped like the barrel. That's the best way i can describe it. i hope it makes sense! It looks really cool though.

They also had irons that looked like flat irons with shapes in them, like stars, hearts etc. So you would press it onto the hair and get the shapes in the hair! They were kind of neat too....

The only thing i can recommend is what the other girls mentioned about ebay. Or use google/yahoo to search for triangle irons?????
