Hair Technical File - Blow Drying/ Volume

Blow Dry  - Volume Curl

Equipment;

• Paddle brush
• Hair dryer
• Comb
• Different sized round ceramic brushes
• Pin tail comb
• Heat protection
• Mousse
• Sea Salt spray

Method;

1. You need to make sure that the hair is about 80% dry, before you start to get brushes involved for the volume. Make sure to use a comb, as wet hair can snap when brushes with large brushes
2. Apply heat protection over the head
3. Apply a small amount of mousse to the ends of the hair and slightly go up the hair towards the roots
4. Apply sea salt to the mid length to ends of the hair
5. If someone has a full fringe, make sure the dry that completely and start with that as you don't want to mess it up
6. Part the hair to the models normal position with the pin tail comb
7. Start from the bottom and work your way up
8. Section off a small triangular section of hair that will fit with your brush. Use a round ceramic brush
9. Pull the hair up high against the head with the hair brush, and apply heat while rolling the brush around. This gets the height thats needed
10. Make sure that the hair is 100% dry before moving on to another section
11. When you think you've dried to completely, roll the hair up in the brush, like a curling tong. Leave for a few seconds while still applying heat to the hair. Then unravel the hair, again like a normal curling tong
12. Maybe place a grip in the bottom of the hair to keep the curl in whilst finish off the rest of the head
