How to Style

  1. Mousse

    Apply Mousse

    Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
  2. Brushlarge

    Use a Large Radial Brush

    A large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.
  3. Backunder

    Blow-dry the Back Under

    To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.
  4. Sidesunder

    Blow-dry the Sides Under

    To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.
  5. Topstylingleft

    Blow-dry Hair Under to the Left

    Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the left. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.
  6. Curlingironlarge

    Use a Large Curling Iron

    A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.
  7. Midsidecurlingiron

    Curl Mid-lengths and Ends with a Curling Iron

    Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.
  8. Productsendswavy

    Piece the Ends Using Wax

    Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
  9. Sidepinback

    Pin the Side Back

    Take your section of hair and pull it tightly across to the opposite side and pin it securely into place.
  10. Smoothingshinefinishing

    Apply Smoothing Shine

    Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
  11. Hairsprayfinishing

    Apply Hairspray

    To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
