    To prep the style, cleanse the hair with Royal Treatment Volume Shampoo and Royal Treatment Volume Conditioner. Then apply a few drops of Royal Treatment Pearl Complex and blow-dry the hair. Once dry, mix a few drops of Pearl Complex with Royal Treatment Brilliance Cream and apply on the hair for flexible hold and shine. Curl the hair with the Dura CHI 1-inch Curling Iron and finish with Royal Treatment Ultimate Control Hairspray.
