STYLING TIPS

FINISHING TOUCHES

Squeeze Dry Your Hair: Prevent frizz by using a paper towel to gently wring water from your strands post-shower, suggests Adir Abergel, Fekkai celebrity stylist. “The paper won’t create as much friction as a towel, so your hair ends up less frizzy. It also absorbs more water than a cloth towel, really speeding up your drying time,” he explains.

Humidity & Moist Air: We usually think of humidity as hair’s archenemy, but parching-dryness is worse. If you regularly experience dry air—from either working in a building that pumps it in (cool or hot) or living in that kind of climate—your hair will become parched, says Christopher Cilione, a colorist at the Oscar Blandi Salon. Moisturizing hair products help, he says, but not as much as regularly running a humidifier.

FACE-SHAPE TECHNIQUES

FINISHING TOUCHES

Short Looks: Use your fingers at the crown to lift and tossel to create the desired shape. You can also tease the base at the roots to create volume. To add separation and texture apply a styling mud, palmade or wax.

Longer Hair: Curling irons in various sizes will enhance different curl formations throughout your layers. Twist sections of hair wrapping them around a curling iron in opposite directions to create a soft sexy curl. With a few pins you can throw it up into an elegant updo for an evening out.

Curly Hair: Using a diffuser accompanied with curl enhancing products can ensure a soft bouncy texture. Add a few varied curl shapes with a spiral curling iron and finish with a light styling paste or shine gel to avoid frizz and create more separation to the curl.

Smooth and Shiny: Begin with smoothing shampoo and conditioner. Towel dry as much moisture as possible. Apply a smoothing cream throughout the hair. Blow-dry the hair to continue to remove moisture until it is at a damp state. Section the crown in clips and start blow-drying at the nape. You may apply a light de-frizz oil after each section is dry. Using a paddle brush will keep a smoother finish. A flat iron can be used along with a thermal spray with each dry section to create a sleek look. To complete your style, use a shine spray to add more luster. If you have fine hair, use a light finishing spray. For medium to coarse hair, use a stronger hold hairspray to ensure a style that lasts through an exciting evening out on the town!
