    Starting at the top of the head, use a large HeatPro Thermal Brush and blow dryer with a nozzle to create lift and body. Leave the brush in the hair while it cools to help lock-in curls. Repeat the technique all around the top of the head.

    Remove the first brush and flip hair to the opposite side to create volume at the roots. Continue like this as you move down the head. Use a Double Clip to keep dried sections away from wet hair as you work around the head.
