HOW TO STYLE
Apply Mousse
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measure guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help realize better results.
Use a Medium Radial Brush
A medium radial brush is used on medium to lengthy hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure hair as this will not tear or damage the hair.
Part to the Right
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye and then drag the comb directly up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even right part. A side part is huge for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.
Use a Blow-dryer to Kick Out the Back
Starting at the nape/back of the hair, place your brush on top of the part and blow-dry down starting from the roots and using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer beneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Make sure to follow the brush with the blow-dryer in an outwards direction. If you like fuller flicks, hold the ends out and roll them up into the brush and apply the heat for longer.
Blow-dry the Sides Under
To blow-dry the sides, take out a little 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 achieve the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.
Blow-dry Bangs Forward to the Left
To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and detection to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by preliminary at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.
Blow-dry the Crown
To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a part of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards location at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.
Wax the Back of Hair Out
Using wax and your fingers grab the mid-lengths of your hair and then drag it out and upwards for a full and untidy result. Remember not to overdo the wax or your result will be a flat and greasy style.
Style Sides Down Using Wax Using a small amount of wax, work it throughout the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.
Style Bangs to the Left Using Wax
Apply wax to your fingertips then drag throughout your bangs, sweeping the hair to the left as you go. Pinching the ends will make soft texture.
Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it during 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.
Apply Lacquer
Lacquer is great for burly hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be functional from an arms length distance to the entire style.
