    Curling iron: Slightly curl strands at the face and selectively – a few top strands across the whole head. Curl strands in different directions and fix with hair spray. Do not worry: brushing will not affect the form.


    With your hands:

    • dab at your hair with a towel after washing the head (you can use several towels alternately);
    • apply a mousse, but do not comb your hair;
    • tilt your head down and comb your hair with fingers to straighten it;
    • dry your hair above the hairdryer, slightly disheveling it with your palms;
    • after complete drying, let your hair cool for 5-10 minutes;
    • texture strands with wax and fix with hair spray.

If your hair is perfectly straight, slightly curl them. And so that the effect of curling is held longer, use accessories in separate parts of your hair. It can be hair-slides or small hairpins. Do not be afraid of such experiments, your style is completely in your hands!
