Step 1: Consultation look at the hair in its natural condition, look if its thick or thin, colored or not this will have an effect on the temperature you will use on the model, chemically damaged hair will dry quicker so will need a lower heat.

Step 2: Wash as shown before, comb hair with wide tooth comb when back at the chair, to find parting brush hair backwards and push up the hair should fall into the natural parting, ask the model if they prefer another parting and change as according at this point.

Step 3: Blast hair to get the majority of the water out, want hair to still be slightly damp this means you’re not spending ages blow drying the hair and will achieve a better shape, When hair is damp add products according to the initial consultation, if applied on wet hair this will dilute the product used.

Step 4: Section hair from behind the ears and move these front sections forwards, Section the back section into thin layers starting from the bottom, as it will be easier to manage less hair.

Step 5: Take section and starting at the rout life up with the brush and in the opposite direction that the hair sits use hair dryer to blow dry, use the hair dryer to cushion the hair to move brush back under and blow dry the root from the top, making sure the hair dryer is constantly moving as not to cause scalp burn. Make sure roots are fully dry before moving onto mid and end section, if not the hair will sag due to, to much water still sitting in the hair.

Step 6: Slightly tugging on the hair with the brush to tease the hair to gain more volume pull the brush towards yourself following with the hair dryer in the direction you want the hair to dry, twisting brush coming down towards the ends.

I found the technique difficult to get hold of but once i managed to get the movement right I found I was starting to get a good style I managed to get the hair straight and with slight movement although next time want to concentrate more on getting a better volume from the route possibly by adding more product at the root as the hair was thin and dry.
