Hair Styling Tips
Create this lovely style at home:
1. Preparation is Key
- Wash and Condition: Start with a good wash using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. This will give your hair the lift it needs.
- Towel Dry: Gently towel dry your hair to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing your hair too harshly to prevent frizz.
2. Apply Products
- Heat Protectant: Always apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from heat damage.
- Volumizing Mousse: Apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair, focusing on the roots to add lift.
3. Section Your Hair
- Divide and Clip: Section your hair into manageable parts using clips. This makes the blow-drying process more efficient and ensures even styling.
4. Blow Drying Technique
- Round Brush: Use a round brush to blow dry each section. Start at the roots and pull the brush upwards and outwards to create volume.
- Cool Setting: Once a section is dry, switch your hairdryer to the cool setting and blast the hair to set the style.
5. Create Curls
- Roll and Clip: After blow-drying each section, roll it up and clip it to your head. This helps to set the curls and adds bounce.
- Leave to Cool: Let the hair cool completely before removing the clips. This ensures the curls hold their shape.
6. Finishing Touches
- Shake It Out: Gently shake out the curls or run your fingers through your hair to loosen them.
- Hairspray: Finish with a light mist of hairspray to hold the style in place without weighing it down.
Additional Tips
- Use the Right Tools: Invest in a good quality hairdryer and round brush. The right tools can make a significant difference.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t turn out perfect the first time. Practice and patience are key.
