Pinch Stick Set – Tool for the C-Curve
The Pinch Stick Set contains six pinch sticks – tools used for pinching, i.e. shaping the C-curve (also called the tunnel). Anyone searching online will also find the technique under the English term C-Curve Bending. The set belongs to the tips and forms range.
The C-curve is the transverse arch of the enhancement in the frontal view – not to be confused with the apex, the highest point in the side view. A cleanly shaped C-curve gives the extension its characteristic shape and contributes to the structure of the enhancement. Pinch sticks are used to bring the still-malleable enhancement into this arch.
With six sticks in the set, you have the complete tool at hand without having to buy individual pieces. For studios that regularly model extensions with a pronounced C-curve, the set is a practical basic kit.
