Pay close attention to the section on final styling. Re­member that you can create the part anywhere. I used a middle part for Chloe in this shoot, but I have also done similar styles for her with a deeper side part as well. Do what works best for your face shape. It is all about celebrat­ing your beautiful features.

What You Will Need:

Teasing Brush

Alligator Pin Clips

1 Inch Curling Iron

Chi Maximized Volume

Bed Head Headrush

Prep

Chloe is wearing tape-in hair extensions for this tutori­al, but if you do not want to use them that is perfectly fine. However, extensions do help with the last part of the style. Start by combing through your hair and pin curling in 1 inch sections. Be sure that the pin curled sections are even and well sprayed so that you can minimize the hair spray in the finish of the look. You will want to lightly spray Chi Maximized Volume while curling, and we will also use that as the finishing spray.

Get Ready to Rock Your Hairstyling

Always remember to take your time as you create this style. Photographers hate fly-aways so you will want to carefully create this style. Let the pin curls set for 1-3 hours. In this case, Chloe’s hair sat for about an hour and a half while we styled her clothing and applied her makeup. I went with a middle part because I wanted to really accen­tuate her face’s symmetry while also enhancing her jawline.

Ready, Set, & Glam!

Letting each section down and following the curl pat­tern is the most important part. It is really about releasing the curl and letting if flow. As you let each pinned section down, gently tease it just at the root with your brush. Then, go over the top of the hair with the Bed Head Headrush, which is a shine spray. Be super sparse with this product be­cause you do not want oily hair. This technique is also great for styling dry hair on set, because it does renew the luster of the hair visually.
