    Before blow-drying, apply volumizing mousse and gently massage into the hair.

    It’s best to turn the head upside down and blow-dry on low to medium heat, using your fingers to create lift at the root rather than using your brush. This will help decrease tension on the hair while giving you the desired volume you want.

    When the hair is mostly dry, use a round brush to smooth out any flyaways and dry the hair the rest of the way. Be careful not to brush out the volume you have created.

    Use a large barrel iron on medium heat to create soft, natural waves that add volume and shape to your style. Try a zig-zag part for extra dimension.

    To finish the look, run your fingers through the waves and apply a light volumizing or dry texturizing spray to give lift to the crown and lock the style in place.
