Comments:

SOFT RED CURLS: This style features short layers in back and medium layers on top in a yummy shade of red. Bangs pulled away from the face open up the face and hold the attention there. The curls are soft and sweet – perfect for day or night!

Suitable for:

Face shapes: oval, square, round, heart, diamond

Hair texture: fine, medium or coarse

Hair density: thin, average to thick

Styling:

Maintenance: medium

Time: 15-20 minutes

Techniques: Blow dry and 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, curl hair down. Wrap hair around curling iron horizontally and curl under.
5. Move up a layer. Start curling hair a little diagonally instead of straight under. Repeat this process, completing each layer and moving up the head. Spray each layer with hairspray after you are done curling it.
6. On the top of the head, curl hair in a spiral. Wrap hair around curling iron from ends to roots and release after 20-30 seconds, depending on hair type.
7. For bangs, curl hair away from face. For stretched out curls along face, slide curling iron through hair as you are curling it.
8. Take the bangs and pin on the right side using a bobby pin underneath curls to hide it. You may need to use overlapping bobby pins so they stay in place.
9. Spray the completed style with finishing hairspray to lock in curls and add shine.
10. Follow the instructions on the shine spray and mist a small amount over ends, making sure you cover roots with your free hand to avoid getting product in them. Too much product or product in roots will make hair look greasy and limp.
