If you want to dazzle and go curly . . . then go REALLY curly!

So what’s the difference from ordinary hair curls and curls that will turn heads?
“where you want to look smashing”
It can be summed up in just two words . . . product & styling technique . . . oops, and a little time and patience. If you weren’t born with curly hair it will take a little work, but then again, for that special holiday bash, where you want to look smashing . . . it’s worth it!

So here’s how to achieve this one, or something like it, seeing that this is neither your hair type nor your hair style. It’s a good idea to give yourself a practice run, even if its only on part of your hair, it will ease the learning curve on achieving that fabulous look when the big day arrives. That includes everything from, how much time to allow to how much hair care product to use. If your hair type is heavy and stick straight, this style is not for you, however, watch for my other “Holiday Hair Style” posts.

All other hair types, here’s how to achieve this look;

Shampoo and Dry — If you want more volume to your hair, use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner, like Matrix Amplify Shampoo. Otherwise use a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Graham Webb is another product line I like so I’ll stick with recommendations from this line, but you can use a similar product type. That would be a Thermal spray or Wax pomade in a product line you like.

What you need:

• Thermal Spray – Graham Webb Heat Response Soft Finish Spray

• Wax , Pomade — Graham Webb Brit Style Wax Pomade

• Curling Irons – Using two different small barrel irons will give a fuller more textured look

1. Section your hair down the middle and then clip up.

2. Drop down approximately one inch wide horizontal sections at a time starting at the nape of the neck.

3. Spray a one inch section at a time with, Graham Webb’s Heat Response Soft Finish Spray, and curl using a spiral-wrap technique.

4. Alternate the direction you spiral each curl, it will give the end result more interest and volume. If you have two sized irons, alternating these will give an exaggerated look of fullness.

5. Repeat this process till done.

6. Finish the style by using your fingers to work a bit of the Wax Pomade into the strands. This step will provide definition and separation to your curls.

7. If your hair is too long on top to naturally get the height as shown in this picture, lift sections and pin underneath on top of your head. It will give height and a more curly look to your entire head.

Try a pretty little sparkle in your hair and have some. . . Happy Holidays!
