Towel Blot
Blot hair with a soft towel. Do not rub hair. Blot carefully.

Volumizer

Direct Blow Dryer Nozzle Down
Always point blow dryer nozzle attachment directed down the hair shaft. This helps to flatten the cuticle for the shiniest and sleekest results.

Brush All The Way Through

Add Lift

Frame Your Face
