Pre-Treat & Cleanse

Detangle hair and apply any desired pre-shampoo treatment.

Cleanse hair in lukewarm water with a hydrating shampoo or one which is designed for color treated hair.

Note:  For chemically damaged or dry hair opt for a conditioner only (CO) or a diluted shampoo cleanser.

Rinse well to remove cleanser.

Apply appropriate rinse-out conditioner.

Detangle conditioner treated hair in individual 2" sections with a hair friendly wide tooth comb from the ends to the roots.

Rinse well and finish with cool to cold water rinse.

Towel Blot & Prep

Towel blow hair to remove all excess moisture or dry off hair roughly  using a flat boars bristle paddle style brush until all moisture is gone.

Apply desired styling cocktail including, but not limited to, a leave-in conditioner, volumizing and/or a styling mousse.

Use fingers and/or a hair-friendly detangling comb to detangle strands and make sure all styling products are completely distributed through damp strands.

Use a long tail comb or fingers to create the desired hair part (center, off-center, side or deep side).

Divide hair and clip into individual equally sized sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free to style first.

Blow Dry & Style

Blow {{asin=B001SQ6Q8A,text=dry on medium heat}} using a concentrator nozzle in combination with a medium round brush for volume leaving the ends straight.

Concentrate on lifting the roots to create body and fullness, while using the flick of your wrist and the curvature of the brush to create bend and bounce at the ends.

If you prefer less volume, keep the root area in the crown flat for a more sleek look.

Direct the blow dryer's air nozzle down the hair shaft from the roots to the ends to avoid frizz and for a sleeker shinier look as well as t0 seal each cuticle.

Touch the hair as little as possible while drying to guarantee hair remains silky and soft.

Make sure to control the ends with your brush or even try using your hands to press the dried hair smooth.

As each section is dry, roll the section into a big loose curl and secure with a clip.

Heat Styling

Once 100% dry, remove clips from each section and use your 1 inch flat iron to go through tresses section by section smoothing the hair.

Use the  inch flat iron to smooth and straighten the ends slightly.

If you prefer more movement, use a 1 inch curling iron to create a slight curl to the ends.

Refine slight curls on the surface and around the face.

Finish

Use your fingers to finger pick slightly for a more tousled look.

Spray a Texturizing Spray for added texture.

Finish, with a sprinkle of dry shampoo for separation and shake hair for that perfectly textured bob.
