Ashly above has long very thick hair. She informed me that most hair dresser couldn't put it up and have it to stay up or that the curl never lasted. I had no problem styling her beautiful hair, and the next day after her dance she wore the style to church. She came in for curls, she called me the next day to let me know the curls lasted all night on her date. Ashly combed through the hair to have pretty large curls the next day.
