TOOLS AND PRODUCTS NEEDED:
- Sam Villa Ionic Blow Dryer
- Sam Villa 2” Thermal Styling Brush
- Sam Villa Paddle Brush
- Redken Pillow Proof - Two Day Extender
- Redken Velvet Gelatine 07 Cushioning Blow Dry Gel
- Redken Fashion Work 12 Versatile Hairspray
HOW TO CREATE SOFT WAVES WITH A BLOW DRYER & ROUND BRUSH:
- Begin with damp hair and spray Redken Pillow Proof at your scalp. This will extend the life of your blowout, absorb oils and protect your hair from the heat!
- Next, apply a small amount of Redken Velvet Gelatine 07, concentrating most of the gel at the ends and work your way toward the scalp.
- Begin to blow dry your hair using your paddle brush to release the moisture until the hair is about 60% dry.
- After you've removed most of the moisture from your hair, pick up your thermal round brush, this will create the curl and volume needed.
Hot Tip: When working with a round brush, remember to let the hair cool before releasing your section. This will create longer lasting curls.
- Working in small sections (no wider than the width of your round brush), round brush all your hair for curl.
- Twist your hair in the direction that you want your curls to go and spray with Redken Fashion Work 12 hairspray for soft control.
