Any hairdressers? How can I create this?

[choc27]

Could any hairdressers help me learn how to create this sort of texture or waves? I have practically every hair tool going so I'm hoping I have something to do it! And what sort of products would I need?

Straighteners- 1 inch by 2 inch vertical sections. Put irons in like you're going to curl, only turn iron a quarter of a turn with the nose pointing downwards, glide through roughly half way down and tap out to the ends to keep them straight. You don't want a full turn or to go through to ends with the quarter turn as that will create more of a wave. Alternate the direction of the iron on every other section to get more texture. These looks always look better the next day.

Make sure to prep your hair with a pre blow dry styling product (loreal professional Pli is a personal fav) that contains heat protection or layer over heat protection product. Avoid Any products that defrizz unless you have to. Keep products light. Finish with hair spray and head upside down. (It will be massive at first but settle) brush out with your fingers or a very very wide tooth comb. For finer hair types and hair that needs a bit more grit a couple of shots of dry shampoo at the roots works wonders for lift and separation. If you want more oomph a product like Redken Quicktease or L'Oréal professional Savauge Panache will give you hold, lift and texture or use a good old fashioned sea salt spray to finish.

Keep practicing, don't use too much tension when clamping down with the irons, hair should just glide through without snagging, make sure it is 100% dry and prepped. Move the irons to slow and you'll have more curl or to quick and it won't have any movement. Same with sections, bigger sections will work with this better than smaller ones

Thank you so much, I will invest in some of those products and give it a whirl!
