Products Used:

  • Light mousse
  • Denman D4-9 row original styler
  • Denman D38 detangling & styling paddle
  • Denman DHH3 head hugger
  • Medium hold hairspray
  • Denman D81M style & shine brush
  • D91 backcomber

Step 1: After applying a light mousse, the hair is sectioned into four. Beginning at the nape, using a Denman D4 9-row Original Styler, the hair is dried through to smooth and create a bend at the ends.

Step 2: Moving up the back of the head, sections are over-directed with tension to straighten and add root lift. Continue up the head.

Step 3: For the crown and top sections, switch to a Denman D38 Detangling & Styling Paddle to smooth and add shine.

Step 4: Again, taking sections, begin working on the sides. Continue using a Denman D38 Detangling & Styling Paddle, smooth the section ensuring that you create the same level of root lift as the adjoining back section.

Step 5: With both sides completed, begin working on the front hairline sections. Using a Denman DHH3 Head Hugger, pull the hair forward and down to smooth and create maximum root lift.

Step 6: Dragging the roots up, wrap the entire side section around the Denman DHH3 Head Hugger at a slightly forward angle, heat and cool to create curved bend.

Step 7: The top and front sections are lightly backbrushed using a D91 for a little texture and hold.

Step 8: Using a medium hold hairspray and a Denman D81M Style & Shine brush the hair is brushed through taking care to avoid removing the back-brushed sections and adding gloss to the perimeter.
