Apply Kadus Professional Dramatize It, a strong-hold mousse that gives volume for up to 24 hours, to the roots. Blow-dry, then lightly backcomb the roots of the crown and back areas. Smooth the midlengths and ends with a soft brush, then pull the hair to the lower back of the head, slightly overdirecting to one side. Create a “seam” in the back with pins.
