I've started teaching them my "Flip It" trick," says Cathy Vacura Thompson.
Cathy is another warm-hearted and passionate Curly Hair Specialist south of Denver, Colorado. I met Cathy through Curly Hair Artistry and we continue to inspire each other.
"Determine where you want your final part to be.
Flip the hair over to create a part about 1" to 1.5" parallel to the final part position (photo1).

This creates nice loops to easily slide in 4-5 clips. (photo 2.)
