ON HAIR STYLING....

Curling Iron
If you want a longer hold when you style with a curling iron try spraying hairspray BEFORE curling hair.

Styling With Heated Rollers
When using hot rollers spray dry hair first with a "working" hairspray. Take your first section and comb it smooth, spray with hairspray and then twist the section before wrapping on the roller. This will give a spiral look to your curls. After rollers have cooled take out rollers and spray with a "working" hairspray. Finally turn head upside down and run your fingers through your hair.

Using a Blowdryer and Brush To Turn One Length Hair Under
After drying hair 70% dry use a round brush or rounded vent brush begin drying hair under. Use a working spray and spray on the ends of your hair while the brush is in a turned under postion in your hair. Aim the blow dryer at the hair that is in the brush for 15 seconds then let the hair cool for 5-10 seconds and then remove brush. You may have to turn the dryer off and put it on the counter until you get used to applying the technique. The key factor is spraying the hair, then using a blowdryer set to "hot" to act like a curling iron then allowing the hair to cool before removing the brush. Repeat until all the hair is dryed under. If you have a lot of hair try pinning the top layer up and working first on the underneath layer.

:For a wet look use gel.

Dry Tousled Texture use a thickener before drying.

Sleek: Every strand may be perfectly in place.

Maximum Smoothness Apply a light finishing product to wet hair.

Soft, tousled style teasing from the root, for super volume and texture. Use thickening lotion or volumizer on wet hair. Scrunch as you blow dry, then tease. tease your hair along the shaft (not at the root). You can apply this technique to either your entire head or a random section for a more laid back look. Apply a root lifting lotion to hair before you style it.

Hair dressers use foams, gels, spray gels, liquid gels, etc. for a reason. Each product is used as a tool the same way they use scissors, rollers, irons, or a blow dryer. To Create Volume...On clean towel dried hair: Apply a product designed to create volume . Apply it at the roots of your hair and comb through to the ends(you want more product at toward the scalp than at the ends- this makes the hair "lift") When blow drying, use the high heat setting when the hair is damp. When the hair is almost dry, use your brush to hold your hair in place and use the cool setting to "set" the hair. After the hair is completely dry and your style is set, use a stronger holding hair spray to keep the hair in place.
