Loose Curls

• Setting Lotion
• Large Rollers
• Blow Dryer
• Finishing Spray

• Step One: While your hair is damp, apply your setting lotion to your hair. If you don’t have setting lotion you can use another heat safe styling product but setting lotion really works best. You can buy it at most hair salons. If you have a root lifter, apply that to your roots. It will give your hair more volume.
• Step Two: With your settling lotion applied, blow out your hair.
• Step Three: Set your hair in rollers and apply hairspray.
• Step Four: Blow dry hair being very careful not to use too much heat. You want your curls heated but you don’t want to fry your hair. If you have heated rollers, you don’t need to worry about blow drying and can skip this step.
• Step Five: Allow hair to dry entirely before you remove your rollers.
• Step Six: Wrap the curls around your finger and use a soft brush to smooth them out. This preserves the shape of the curl but gives them a nice smooth look.
• Step Seven: Finish off with a finishing spray being careful not to use too much. Part of the fun of this style is that it’s elegant without looking stiff.

Wavy Curls with a Center Part

• Heat protection hair product
• Large barreled curling iron or clampless curling iron
• Styling product
• Medium hold hairspray
• Round brush (large)

• Step One: Apply styling product to damp hair and use a large, round brush to blow out your hair.
• Step Two: Separate your hair into medium or large sections after it is entirely dry. One by one, wrap each section around the end of your curling iron. Make sure each section is smooth before you begin curling or you could wind up with frizzy curls.
• Step Three: After your curls have cooled, carefully smooth them loosely around your fingers. This allowed them to keep a nice, smooth shape but also loosens them into lovely waves.
• Step Four: Spray the entire style with your hairspray. Make sure it’s medium hold as anything stronger or too heavily applied could leave your curls looking stiff.

Side Ponytail with Curls

• A binder or hair elastic
• A bobby pin (if you want to hide the binder or elastic
• Finish spray
• Hair curler
• Styling product

• Step One: Allow hair to air dry if you have time. If not, blow dry hair until it is completely dry.
• Step Two: Curl the ends of your hair using either of the methods described for the styles above. If you choose to leave the hair straight or do something else with the pony that requires straight hair, skip this step.
• Step Three: Gather hair to the side of your head just at the neckline and secure the pony in place using your binder. You can use a hair elastic as well but the binder is less obtrusive and gives a cleaner look.
• Step Four: If you want to conceal the binder you can cover it with a small section of hair. Just wrap the hair around the pony so it’s covering the binder and secure it in place underneath using a bobby pin.
• Step Five: Spray the whole style with hairspray to finish up. You can use firm hold hairspray if you like, and is often suggested, but I prefer medium hold as it makes the style appear a little less stiff. Using medium hold may mean touchups if you have the style in for an extended period of time.

Twisted Ponytail with Side Swept Bangs

• Heat protection spray
• Flat iron
• Round brush
• Bobby pins
• Medium hold hairspray

• Step One: Apply heat protection spray and blow out your hair.
• Step Two: Smooth your hair with your flat iron but stick to a low setting. You don’t want hair completely flat – just smoothed.
• Step Three: From root to end, use your round brush to smooth your bangs in the direction you’d like them to fall.
• Step Four: Gather the top of your hair and pull it back, holding it in place with bobby pins or a hair clip.
• Step Five: Gather all of your hair (including the top section) over one shoulder and pull it into two sections.
• Step Six: Pull one of the two sections you’ve created out of your hair straight down and twist the second section around it.
• Step Seven: Secure the ends of the twisted hair with bobby pins or a hair clip.
• Step Eight: Spray the entire style with a mist of your hairspray. You want to use medium hold spray because it keeps the style from looking stiff or “crunchy” but if you only have stronger hold hair spray, you can use it. Just use a very, very light misting. It will still hold but should help you about the stiff issue.

Soft Curls with Side Swept Bangs

• Smoothing product
• Large barrel curling iron
• Soft brush
• Large round brush
• Finishing spray

• Step One: Apply smoothing product and blow out your hair.
• Step Two: Allow hair to dry completely.
• Step Three: Separate hair into large sections and, one by one, wrap those sections around the outside of the barrel of your curling iron.
• Step Four: Use the soft brush (a brush with natural bristles is best as they tend to be softer and less damaging to hair) to smooth your curls.
• Step Five: Use the large round brush to smooth your bangs to the side you’d like them to fall on. Smooth them starting at the roots and working to the ends.
• Step Six: Spray with finish spray but stick with a light mist to keep hair looking soft.

Classic Straight Locks with Breezy Bangs

• Flat iron
• Straightening gel, lotion or cream if necessary.

• Step One: Allow your hair to dry completely.
• Step Two: Separate your hair into sections and flat iron each section. Make sure the hair is pulled flat when you apply the iron and be sure not to leave the iron on too long. You want your hair flat not burned.
