Danielle looked great at Chris Brown’s 18th Birthday Party with these soft waves. Her hair was shaped with a razor cut and texture was added to the ends of her hair. To finish, the hair from her mid-lengths to her part was styled straight and solid but the texture was continued through her wispy, eyebrow length bangs. This is a great style for anyone who isn’t afraid to stand out in a crowd.
1: Apply Straightening Balm
Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.
2: Part The Middle
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.
3: Use A Paddle Brush
A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.
4: Blow-dry Using A Paddle Brush
Working in sections starting from the back, place the paddle brush close to the roots and drag it through the strands slowly, taking care not to overheat your hair. Once dry, continue to a new section, completing the back, the sides and then the top section last of all.
5: Use A Small Radial Brush
A small radial brush is used on shorter hair types to add more body or in longer hair types to create curl. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.
6: Blow-dry Your Bangs Forward
When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.
7: Use A Triple Barrel Curling Iron
A triple barrel curling iron is used to apply a defined wave throughout the hair.
8: Use A Triple Barrel Curling Iron To Curl The Side
Starting above your ear and working your way up to your part, take a small to medium section of hair and clamp it between the barrels of your curling iron. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release.
9: Use A Triple Barrel Curling Iron To Curl The Back
Starting at the nape and working your way up, take a small to medium section of hair and clamp it between the barrels of your curling iron. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release.
10: Style The Back Messy Using Gel-wax
Apply gel-wax to your palms and then roughly rub the gel-wax into back of your style. For a messier finish use circular hand movements.
11: Style Your Sides Messy Using Gel-wax
Apply gel-wax to your sides using your fingertips and mess the hair in a circular motion, piecing the ends out as you go and as messy as you like. For a softer hold, use only a small amount of gel-wax.
12: Style Your Bangs Forward Using Gel-wax
Apply a small amount of gel-wax to your fingertips and then using your fingers, rake through your bangs to the ends for shine and texture.
TIP: Use your fingertips to add texture into the ends of the waves.
