channel wind formation and by drying the hair under a
hood dryer, you will see the effect this gives.

What you must learn
This section provides you with guidance on the recommended knowledge and skills
required to achieve this unit.
Learning outcome 1
Know how to carry out a basic wind
Describe the
effects of winding
on hair
Effects of winding hair: Adds curl formation to the hair temporarily, supports
the style, creates root lift, keeps hair back off of the face, for body and volume
in preparation for a blow drying if perm is completed with a chemical.
Present channel
winding
techniques
Present how to channel wind: Presentation software, collage, poster, leaflet.
What to include: Step-by-step descriptions on how to perform a channel
wind, images of curl size achieved by using different sizes of rods.
Different perm rod sizes and the effect they give to hair:
Small rods – tight curl.
Medium rod – medium curl.
Large rod – loose/softer curl.
Importance of taking clean even sections: Rods fit easily together, curls
are even and the same size throughout.
What buckled ends look like and how to avoid them: Hair looks
roughened, not all smooth on ends. To avoid buckled ends, take clean even
sections, use end papers and ensure all hair tucked under smoothly.
4 | UHB5
Describe
the safety
considerations
for winding
techniques
Something that may happen before, during or after the process:
Rollers too tight, rubbers placed incorrectly – can cause marks in finished
style, can cause damage to hair.
Hood dryers/electrical equipment – have they been PAT tested? Have they
been checked for broken wires? Are they safe to use?
Temperature of electrical equipment – is it suitable, check throughout service.
Hair becoming trapped in hood dryer – hair net not placed or not
placed securely.
Hair buckled at ends – hair not wound round rods properly, end papers not
used effectively.
Clean perm rods and apply powder before storing.
Learning outcome 2
Be able to carry out a basic wind
Prepare yourself
and your work
area for winding
hair with perm
rods

clean/ironed clothes, not too tight, closed in low heel shoes), hair (clean,
smart/styled, off face), personal hygiene (clean body, clean teeth, fresh
breath), clean nails (workable length), deodorant (no overpowering perfume/
aftershave), personal protective equipment (gloves, apron), prevent dermatitis
(minimal jewellery), positive attitude, ready to meet and greet clients.
Prepare your work area: Work area clean and hygienic, no obstructions,
tools and equipment in a safe working position, chair, trolley, work station,
equipment cleaned and disinfected/sterilised, visual check of electrical
equipment, portable appliance test (PAT), select height of chair/basin.

spray, hair net.
UHB5 | 5
What you must learn
Identify any
problems that
may affect the
service
Deal with yourself:
Hair not winding completely around rod – use smaller rod.
Hair spilling out end of rod – wind with more tension, take smaller sections,
use larger rod.
Hair is layered (different lengths) and struggling to wind around rod – use an
additional end paper or turn paper vertically.
If in doubt always seek help.
Select tools
and equipment
for winding
techniques
Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using tools and equipment.
Tools:
Detangling comb – removes knots from hair after shampooing.
Tail comb – for sectioning hair and taking clean sections when placing rods.
Perm rods – used during perming or fashion sets, can be large or small
depending on size of curl required.
End papers – secures the ends and help prevent buckled ends.
Equipment:
Personal protective equipment for yourself – gloves, apron, gown, towel/
plastic cape
Hood dryer – follow manufacturer’s instructions, use a hair net to protect hair
on rods, removes moisture/dries hair around rods.
Trolley/work surface – place all tools and equipment on trolley/work surface
for ease of use.
Water spray – to keep hair damp during winding process.
Hair net – when all rods are placed in hair, used to wrap around to help
secure hair on rods before placing under hood dryer.
6 | UHB5
Use hygienic and
safe methods of
working
Follow safe methods of working: Carry out the service without causing
danger or damage to yourself or your work area intentionally or by accident,
follow health and safety policies for working safely. Leave work area clean
and tidy after use (store equipment, clean equipment).
Preparation: Ensure everything is ready before you start, place tools and
equipment close at hand on trolley or work surface, ensure all electrical
equipment is PAT tested and fit to be used.
Follow COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health): Store,
handle, use, dispose of products correctly.
Habia©
How to work hygienically: Sterilised tools and equipment when working.
Avoid contact dermatitis: Wash product from hands, dry hands, use
moisturising/barrier cream.
Hazards and risks: Clean up spillages, trailing and frayed wires.
Section hair into
’9’ sections
To assist in winding, the hair should be divided into ‘9’ sections:
1. Prepare the hair by damping down with water spray.
2. Ensure the sections are no wider than the rods being placed into hair.
3. One channel running through the centre of the head from forehead to
nape, which is split into three sections.
4. One channel running from above temple area towards the ear.
5. Leaving a channel behind the ear which is split into two sections.

Carry out a
channel wind
using perm rods
Carry out a channel wind on hair using perm rods:
1. Place rod at the start of each section.
2. Sections should be slightly smaller than the depth and width of the rod
being placed into hair.
3. Comb hair vertically away from the head, protect ends with end papers,
wind hair using good tension.
4. Secure rod with rubber.
Level 2 Hairdressing 4th Edition, Leah Palmer
& Nicci Perkins, Pearson Eduction Limited©
5. Ensure each section is of equal size, no loose ends and rods are secured
comfortably. Keep hair damp during winding.
6. Use hair net, dry hair using hood dryer, allow to cool before removing
the rods.
7. Remove rods once dry and check for any buckled ends.
