Forty five large weaving sticks (30 coloured yellow, 15 coloured blue), fourteen medium weaving sticks (coloured yellow), fifteen small weaving sticks (coloured green). All made from plastic. Weaving sticks used for perms. Instruction sheet shows six pictures of weaving sticks in action. Text reads 'Hair/ Weaving/ Sticks/ The illustrations show the type of set/ up to weave a full head./ The set should be varied for effect. / Do not use perming solution./ Just wet the hair, weave, dry, comb out./ Setting lotion will help you weave fine/ hair more easily./ A scattered setting pattern and large/ sections will give the hair a free,/ dynamic fullness and bold texture./ 1. Start at the back of the/ crown, parting off a large section with a / triangular base./ 2. Place the first/ stick one inch (2.5cm)/ from the roots./ 3. Now weave the lengths/ in and out of the stick./ After each loop, ribbon/ the hair to keep it/ smooth. Use the left/ hand to keep the stick/ open during the weave./ 4. Weave the hair more tightly as you near/ the ends. Wrap foil/ around the ends to/ keep the hair from/ unravelling./ 5. For the sides, take/ large, square sections/ from the centre part./ Comb the hair smooth/ and weave onto a stick./ 6. Just follow the head- / form, working down from / the top of the head in large square sections'.
