Hair density: thin, average to thick

Styling:

Maintenance: high

Time: 30+ minutes

Techniques: Blow dry and spiral curling iron

Products: volumizing mousse for fine or medium hair, smoothing gel for coarse hair, finishing hairspray, shine spray

Styling Steps:

1. Apply mousse or gel according to hair type.
2. Blow dry hair completely.
3. Section hair in 2 inch horizontal layers around the head.
4. Starting in the back on the bottom, take a 1-2 inch section out of the layer and wrap hair around a spiral curling iron from ends to scalp. Release after 20-30 seconds, depending on hair type.
5. Complete the bottom layer, spray lightly with hairspray, then move up a layer. Continue this process for each layer while moving up the head.
6. When you get to the top of the head, curl pieces randomly toward and away from face. Separate curls gently with fingers if they look too thick. DO NOT BRUSH THROUGH THE CURLS.
7. Spray the completed style with finishing hairspray to lock in curls and add shine.
8. Mist hair lightly with shine spray making sure you cover roots with your free hand. This product will make your hair look greasy if you use too much or get it in the roots.
