Styling Steps:
1. Apply mousse or gel according to hair type.
2. Part hair above arch in the left eyebrow for bangs.
3. Spray a small amount of root lift in the crown area.
4. Blow dry hair almost completely.
5. Using a large round brush, finish blow drying hair smoothing hair around brush and sliding brush down hair while blowing from roots to ends. Use hot air to dry the hair and a cool blast to make it look smooth. Leave brush in the roots at the crown while drying to create more volume.
6. Following manufacturers’ instructions on label, apply a small amount of Slick Works from middle through ends.
7. Take small random sections in the back and curl bottom in spiral motion. Wrap ends around curling iron 1 ˝ to 2 times, releasing at 20-30 seconds depending on hair type.
8. Pull apart any curls that are too thick using fingers.
9. For bangs, slide curling iron from left to right, across forehead, and turning under just a little bit.
10. Tease hair in the crown just a little bit and smooth over the top.
11. Spray completed style very lightly with finishing hairspray, then mist a very light layer of shine spray if necessary. If using shine spray, cover roots with your free hand to protect roots from product. Shine spray will make hair look greasy and limp if you use too much or get it in the roots.
