Styling How-To

  1. Use half mousse and half gel to create a setting foam and apply to the hair.
  2. Working with a brick wind technique, use medium and large Molton Brown rollers and leave hair to dry under a hood dryer. Styling tip: Let the hair cool down before removing the rollers.
  3. Take a dressing brush and starting at the back, build the shape working with fine sections.
  4. Use finger wave clips to secure hair to create these vintage waves. Styling tip: Use a diffuser on cold air to help lock in the shape.
  5. Finish with ID Hair Elements Lightweight Hairspray.
