1. Added Volume To A Slick Look
We’ve spotted several celebs taking their sleek red carpet looks and adding volume near the hairline. To recreate these looks, you’ll need a smoothing spray and a small dense-bristle brush to tame every little flyaway.
2. Accentuating Natural Texture
Clients with natural texture are perfect for this style because their curls and coils do all the work! Grab a pomade or working spray to hold natural texture in place without adding heat for extra volume.
3. Pouf’d Crown + Face-Framing Tendrils
A romantic spin on the 2000s style. Instead of adding volume near the hairline, use face-framing pieces to soften the look and add the volume at the crown.
THROWBACK! You know we had to dig through Facebook for some of our BTC Team (circa early 2000s) with their poufs!
