    “This look is sleek but with subtle volume, which makes it current and modern.  To create this look, you will need to do a “brush set” using 6-8, 2 ½-3” Keratin Complex Ceramic Round Brushes as rollers,” says Martino.

    Step 1: Wash hair and towel dry.
    Step 2: Apply Keratin Complex Lift Off Root Amplifying Styling Gel throughout the root area. 
    Step 3: Part hair in the middle and take 1-2” sections, over-directing the hair (hair needs to go in the opposite direction from where it starts – left to right or vice-versa) as you wrap the hair around the brush.  Blow dry completely. Continue sectioning, over-directing and drying section by section.
    Step 4: Take a 1-2” sections, starting at the crown, and wrap each section around an individual brush, pulling the hair forward towards the forehead into each “brush set.” 
    Step 5: When you have all your sections wrapped and brushes set it place, spray the entire head with Keratin Complex Flex Flow Finishing Hairspray. Let set for 10 minutes to lock in volume. Remove brushes and run your fingers through the hair to style.

    “By following these easy steps you’ll be able to create totally modern, slightly deconstructed updo in less than 15 minutes that will last all night long,” says Martino.

    Step 1: Wash and towel dry hair.
    Step 2: Work a generous amount of Keratin Complex Vita Volume Boosting Foam throughout. 
    Step 3: Use a 2” Keratin Complex Ceramic Round Brush and start drying hair in sections.  NOTE:  When you pull the brush out of each section of hair, spin the brush as you pull away from the head to create a spiral formation. 
    Step 4: After hair is completely dry, spray the entire head with Keratin Complex Flex Flow Finishing Hairspray. Taking your Keratin Complex 4 –in-1 Kera Curler 1 ¼” barrel wrap large sections around the barrel moving away from the head. TIP: Do not twist. Keep sections flat so they look like ribbons around the rod.  Repeat this process throughout the entire head. 
    Step 5: Spray the sections again with Keratin Complex Flex Flow Finishing Hairspray. Run fingers through hair to create a loose, tousled effect.
    Step 6: Pull all the hair back loosely and gather above the nape.  Using XL bobby pins interlock the hair at the nape and start securing these sections with pins.  Layer the curls on top of one another, pin and repeat. 
    Step 7: Finish with another round of Keratin Complex Flex Flow Finishing Hairspray.
