Don’t move. Hold it just right there. Gently put down the blow dryer, the flat iron and –dare I say- the brush. Well, maybe not the brush…that will be used for some teasing later.
I was super excited to read in the August issue of Allure magazine that poufy, almost punk a la Brigitte Bardot hair is the new trend for this fall season. So ladies, if you have thick, coarse, frizzy, curly, wavy or anything but perfectly, pin-straight hair then you’re in luck. You’re more than halfway to achieving this hair ‘do.
Because I’m a huge fan of this va-voom hairstyle, and actually style my hair like this for nights out in the town, here are my very own instructions to getting this fun look.
You will need a toothcomb, a wooden brush, volumizing hairspray, and Velcro rollers varying in size. Begin with clean, dry hair. The hair can be part down the middle or to the side, whatever your choice. Next, will be the teasing of the hair around the crown of the head. Grab hair from the upper section and hold it up, then mist some hairspray. (Note: gently mist, not spray. The hair should not get wet or soaked with the hair spray.) Keep the hair taught, and run the toothcomb in downward motions from the middle length of the hair to the root, making sure that you see and feel hair scrunched up.
To secure and add more teasing volume, gently mist more hairspray and use the wooden brush the same as the toothcomb. Once you finish teasing place the Velcro roller under the hair. This works by holding up the hair to give it shape.
Continue to the next sections of the hair. When finished, leave the rollers in for about ten minutes, then remove and enjoy your sexy new look.
