 Thought foil was just for colorists? Think again. In this video, Sam Villa shows you how to create cool curls using a flatiron, foil, and Iron Shape 11 Finishing Heat Protection Thermal Spray. Follow the simple steps below to use this technique at your salon!

• Section hair out of the way so you can work from the top to the bottom.
• Take a small half-inch to 1-inch section of the hair and mist with Iron Shape 11  top and bottom to ensure complete protection.
• Flatwrap the hair around two fingers and hold the wrapped hair as you would a pincurl.
• Place the curl flat against a small foil sheet and fold the foil overtop, surrounding the curl in foil.
• Clamp the foil-wrapped curl with a flatiron and hold for 5 seconds.
• Continue throughout the hair, and once cooled, remove the foils to check out your curled creations!
