This motion, similar to opening and closing an umbrella, is what gives the technique it's unusual name.</p><p>The volume of the curl originally sits at the roots, but by pulling and stretching the hair you distribute the volume more evenly, creating a more textured finish in the process.</p><p>Looking for more ways to style your curly hair?
