Curl Hair at the Back of Your Head
That being said, one trick that may make things easier for you is to use your tail comb while winding the hair around your curling iron. If you insert the tail of the comb into the curl as you wind the hair on the rod, you can slip the comb out and more easily slide the curl off the iron.
Using the comb also gives you a little better reach when working in those harder to reach areas. You may also want to section the hair to make the hair easier to control by keeping the hair you aren't working with out of the way.
