STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
1. Spray hair with speed of light™ blow dry accelerator from roots to ends and blow dry through with a paddle brush.
2. Part hair down the middle and section ear to ear on both sides.
3. Using a tong (ideally 24mm), curl the hair in 1-inch sections across the whole head and spray with control force™ firm hold hair spray.
4. At the back, take a section from each side of the head and tie into a ponytail with a small rubber band.
5. Loop the ponytail back through itself. Pinch and pull the hair to loosen and create soft texture. Spray again with control force™.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5, 3-5 times all the way down until you reach the ends of the hair.
7. Part the front of the hair into a side parting and create desired shape around the face. To give it maximum hold and volume, backcomb if required, adding shampure™ dry shampoo into the roots.
8. Once shaped, twist the ends of the hair and incorporate into the back of the hairstyle.
