Damp Hair
Prep the hair using L’Oreal Professionnel Liss Control for smoothness and heat control then apply L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni Art Pli for hold.
Rough dry hair entierely and smooth using a large round brush.
Use a tail comb to find the centre parting.
Start from the back using a medium to large barrel tong and twist sections of hair around the barrel leaving the ends out to create a soft wave.
Every few sections bend the hair slightly less than the previous to create more a varying wave that isn’t so consistent.
Once happy with the wave, spritz with L’Oreal Professionnel Morning after dust and some L’Oreal Professionnel medium hold infinium hairspray to finish.
