The “3-Day Blow-Out” – Volumizing Hair Blow-Out
Inspired by the larger-than-life hair blowouts of the ‘80s, and ready for a return to glamorous hair, more and more trendsetters are embracing lush, lavish, polished hair styles. There are three goals for a big, beautiful blowout: lots of volume, smooth texture without a trace of frizz and major hair style longevity.
1. Prepare a styling cocktail of smoothing hair cream and booster product, and apply to the scalp area of damp hair.
2.Then work a volume-building hair mousse from roots to ends.
3.Comb hair through with a wide-tooth comb to distribute evenly.
4.Section the hair from ear to ear and clip away the top of the hair.
5.Divide the hair into 1-inch vertical sections.
6.Using the hair nozzle attachment on your blow dryer to smooth the hair, lift the first hair section with a large round hair brush, and dry the root area. Then roll the section up and down around the hair brush while drying the hair.
7.Complete the bottom hair section. Release the top, divide it in half once more and clip away the top of the hair.
8.Continue drying the center sections of the hair with the hair round brush.
9.Release the top of the hair. Divide the hair into 1-inch sections. Lift each hair section up and over to the opposite side as you wind it around the hair brush. Allow the hair to flip over until it cools
10.Once the hair is cool, flip the head upside down and rake through hair with your fingers.
11.Mist the roots of your hair with a volumizing hair spray.
12.Run a shine-enhancing hair serum through the ends of hair.
Sexy Wind-Tossed Beach Hair Waves
Spring fashion’s florals and delicate blush tones call for romantic, textured spring hair. Sexy, messy beach hair waves fit the bill! Loose or polished, nothing is more feminine than bouncy hair waves!
1.Apply a smoothing hair cream to damp hair and hair with your fingers to encourage natural hair texture.
2.Once hair is dry, divide it into vertical subsections.
3.Mist each subsection of your hair with a thermal styling hair spray and wind the hair around a curling iron, twisting as you coil it around the hair barrel.
4.Direct all hair sections away from the face.
5.Allow the hair to heat thoroughly before releasing it from the hair iron.
6.Set the entire head of hair on the curling iron. A smaller curling iron will produce a tighter hair wave; a larger hair iron will create a looser hair wave.
7.Once hair is twisted and cool, gently rake through hair with fingers.
8.Mist hair midlengths and ends with a texturizing hair finishing spray, squeezing and tousling the hair to encourage texture formation.
