✨Up styling Foundations | Curl Pattern, Curl Type & Curl Direction ✨

I built this upstyling foundations series for my salon team and now I'm sharing it with every stylist who didn't get this education. Whether you're a new stylist struggling behind the chair, an experienced pro who never got formal updo training, or someone who just needs a structured system to fall back on, this series is for you. In this first video, we cover: You’ll learn how curl pattern and direction completely change the final result behind the chair. We’ll break down different curl types using a curling iron and flat iron, explore horizontal vs vertical curls, and show how curl placement creates either fullness, softness, width, or movement. You’ll also see a visual mannequin breakdown of alternating curl directions versus uniform curls so you can better understand the impact if you’re a visual learner. No gatekeeping. Just the real education I wish someone had given me when I started. 📌 New to the channel? I'm Orla, a hair stylist sharing professional hair education, color theory, and behind-the-chair tips.
