Styling Steps:
1. Apply mousse or gel according to hair type.
2. Follow directions on the label and apply a small amount of Round Trip from middle through ends.
3. Blow dry hair completely.
4. Section hair in 2 inch horizontal layers around the head.
5. Starting in the back on the bottom, take a 1-2 inch section out of the layer and spray lightly with hairspray. Wrap hair around curling iron from ends to scalp in a spiral motion. Release after 20-30 seconds, depending on hair type.
6. Complete the bottom layer, mist very lightly with hairspray, then move up a layer. Continue this process for each layer while moving up the head. Alternate the direction of the curls.
7. For bangs and face framing, curl away from the face.
8. DO NOT BRUSH THROUGH THE CURLS. Spray the completed style with finishing hairspray to lock in curls and add shine. If any curls are too thick, separate gently with fingers.
9. Using bobby pins, start in the crown area and start pinning up random chunks of hair on top of your head. The first pieces should be right in the center, then as you move toward the outside of your hairline, overlap those pieces in the center.
10. Pin extra long pieces up on top or on the sides to add more volume.
11. Mist hair lightly with shine spray, making sure you 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.
