How to Style

1.

Apply Moisturizer

Apply a small amount of moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly
through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good
condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.

2.

Apply Sculpture Lotion

Apply sculpture lotion to the palm of the hand and then place it evenly throughout the
hair. Sculpture lotion can be used as an alternative to mousse for messy hair, as a styling
aid when blow-drying for volume, and for a stronger hold.

3.

Part to the Left

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of
your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and
then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great
for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.

4.

Section Hair

It is always a good idea to work in sections. This will help to make your hair styling
quicker, easier to follow and more orderly. Comb your hair out and place your hair up
into four equal sections, two in front and two in back, starting from ear to ear.
5.

Use a Large Radial Brush

A large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or
curly hair textures. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as
this will not tear or damage the hair.

6.

Blow-dry the Back Under

To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair
close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and
continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you
reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.

7.

Blow-dry the Sides Under

To blow-dry the sides, take out a small 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 reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.

8.

Blow-dry the Crown

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section 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 position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is
dry.
9.

Blow-dry Bangs Forward to the Right

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back
to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make
blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and
then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull
your section down to the ends and continue until dry.

10.

Use a Medium Curling Iron

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.

11.

Use a Curling Iron to Curl the Back

Starting from the back, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of
your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your
roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands
backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.

12.

Curl Mid-lengths and Ends with a Curling Iron

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel
and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the
hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.
13.

Piece the Ends Using Wax

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the
ends of your hair.

14.

Lift Roots Using Wax

Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting
your strands for soft volume.

15.

Style Bangs to the Right Using Wax

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the
right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.

16.

Apply Smoothing Shine

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then
run it through 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.

17.
Apply Hairspray

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the
top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky
residue which looks like dandruff.
