When I purchased it, this model had decals instead of painted eyes. They eventually fell off! cheers, j

If in doubt, always use your school's method.

Thanks "LaDolly"! I value your criticism. I put this one up because my salon has some apprentices that need to learn the technique, and because nobody else had done one. Cheers,

They didn't teach us figure 8's at my school in New Hampshire, I had to figure them out on my own from those awful "milady" illustrations! I mde this video to help migrating stylists who will have to test in a state requiring them. If it helps out non stylist too, it is all good.

Thanks for the video. I am getting ready to take the Maryland State board exam, so I am always searching for tips and techniques to help me pass. The technique you used is a lil different than what we learned at school. My instructors always wanted us to curl the hair and leave it coiled so they could split it in the middle to see the actual figure 8 shape. Now Im wondering how the board wants it done... eek!

This is amazing. The curls are beautiful, although I'm not sure I'd be able to do this on my own hair! I'd definitely need help!
