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. Part hair above the arch in the left eyebrow.
3. Blow dry hair completely.
4. Section hair into 2 inch horizontal layers up head.
5. Starting in the back, take a 1-2 inch section off the bottom layer and smooth it out. Spray with a little bit of hairspray and wrap hair around large barrel curling iron from ends to scalp. For underneath pieces, to save length, don’t go all the way to the scalp. Stay about 3-4 inches down and release the curl at 20-30 seconds, depending on hair type.
6. After bottom layer is completed, move up a layer and repeat the process.
7. On the top, curl all pieces away from the face.
8. For the front of the hair, instead of curling all the way to the top and holding, curl up and start to slide the curling iron out to stretch the curl and make it a little more loose.
9. DO NOT BRUSH THROUGH THE CURLS. Use your fingers to separate any curls you think are too thick.
10. Spray the completed style with finishing hairspray to lock in curls and control any fly away hairs.
11. Mist hair lightly with shine spray, making sure to cover roots with your free hand. This product will make your hair look greasy and limp if you use too much or get it in the roots, so follow the manufacturers’ instructions closely.
