HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Hair should be shampooed and dried first.

• 

  
  2

  Mix a thickening lotion and a styling crème together in a bowl and apply to the roots with a brush, like a root tint application.

• 

  
  3

  Dry all the roots upwards with a comb to create structure and volume at the roots only.

• 

  
  4

  Make up the same product mixture and this time, using your hands, apply to the mid-lengths and ends.  Start approximately two inches from the roots.

• 

  
  5

  Now begin to dry by starting at the nape, using only your fingers.

• 

  
  6

  Drag your fingers through the mid-lengths and ends (to straighten but not smooth the hair) until each section is completely dry.

• 

  
  7

  Continue this technique throughout, working in an upward motion.

• 

  
  8

  Keep reapplying the mixture to the mid-lengths and ends until the hair feels almost synthetic, creating structure, volume and texture.

• 

  
  9

  Working from the underneath, start to back-brush the mid-lengths in an upward, flicking motion to create a fluffy texture.

• 

  
  10

  Continue back-brushing throughout, creating a light fluffy texture.

• 

  
  11

  Smooth over the top sections very lightly with a soft brush.

• 

  
  12

  Gently brush back the sides.

• 

  
  13

  Secure the sides with a pin.

• 

  
  14

  Dress the remainder of the hair back into a loose ponytail.

• 

  
  15

  Release the pins and dress out for a loose, bohemian-chic look.

• 

  
  16

  Let hair down and style loosely for a classy casual look.
