Technical Week 1: Volumising Blow Dry

You will need: 

• Moose 
• Hairdryer with nozzle
• Round barrel brush 
• Curling tongs 

Method: 

• Hair should be damp but not wet to start the blow dry from. 
• Put a small amount of moose into the roots of the hair, especially when creating the blow dry on finer hair to help create lift. 
• Use a hairdryer with a nozzle on the end. 
• Work with the round barrel ceramic brush. 
• Section off the hair and start with the underneath section. 
• Place the brush under the section of hair and lift vertically. 
• Dry under the root and then on top of the root, maintaining the lift until the root of the hair is dry. 
• Then dry the ends of the hair, still lifting the hair to maintain the volume. 
• Start at the back, then side side for each layer. 
• Can crimp at the root to create more volume, but make sure the crimp is well hidden. 
• To finish off, curl the ends of the hair loosely with tongs and brush out smoothly to create volume throughout the style. Can also backcomb at the root for added lift.
