HERE’S HOW TO GET THE LOOK

1 Holding your blowdryer above your head and pointing the nozzle down, blast-dry your fringe in the opposite direction of your parting until it’s about 95% dry. This will help you get the crucial sweeping factor. Tip: Dry your fringe first before the rest of your hair, so it doesn’t have a chance to dry untamed. 2

Push your fringe back over to the direction you want it and continue drying with your round brush, pulling your hair straight out from your face and slightly rolling the brush under at the ends as you go. 3

Smooth small sections of your fringe at a time with a straightening iron if needed, bending the iron under slightly at the ends. 4 Finish by spraying some soft-hold hairspray on your fingers and rubbing through the

ends of your fringe so you end with a natural-looking, piece-y look as opposed to a concrete-hard mass. TOOL KIT
