Styling Steps:
1. Apply mousse or gel according to hair type.
2. Part hair above the arch in the right eyebrow in a zigzag part.
3. Spray a small amount of root lift in the crown area.
4. Following directions on the package, apply a very small amount of Slick Works from the middle through ends of hair, then brush product through.
5. Blow dry hair almost completely.
6. Using a large round brush, finish blow drying the hair to add volume in the roots. Wrap the hair around the brush and blow hot air away from scalp. Slide the brush out and use cool air from your blow dryer to smooth the hair at the same time.
7. Use a flat iron if needed to straighten hair that has any wave or curl to it, pulling the flat iron under to curl a little bit. Don’t take the flat iron all the way to the scalp or it will flatten your lift in the roots.
8. Tease the hair in the crown area from underneath to add more volume, then smooth over the top.
9. Following the instructions on the package label, apply a small amount of Gloss Drops to the ends of the hair to make them smooth. Keep away from roots or your hair will look greasy and limp.
10. Use a small amount of finishing hairspray on the completed style.
