GET THE HOW-TO

Show Steps
Apply Awapuhi Wild Ginger HydroMist Blow-Out Spray to clean, dry hair at the scalp for added volume. Blow-dry the product into the hair and away from the face using a comb. Comb the hair smooth and clip to hold.

Show Steps
Use the tail of a comb to feed the ends into the roller, then clip the roller on the side to avoid any marks on the hair.

Show Steps
On the side, roll the hair under and spray each section with Awapuhi Wild Ginger Finishing Spray. In the back, use a brick-laying pattern to avoid any partings. Continue rolling all the rollers under. As you reach the longer lengths—or if more wave is desired— switch to 2-inch rollers.

Show Steps
Allow all the rollers to cool completely before removing them. For maximum volume, brush the front and the top in the opposite direction that it was rolled. Brush all the hair out completely.

Show Steps
Lightly back-brush the hair with a 413 Sculpting Brush to loosen the curl. Use the Teasing Brush for definition and refinement of the curls.

Show Steps
Comb hair smooth from left hairline to right back corner. Place into the desired shape and finish with the Awapuhi Wild Ginger Finishing Spray
