‘70s retro curls

No girl would be without a set of heated curlers in the ‘70s and they still form part of a pro’s kit.

Quick to put in, the ends absorb the heat giving the hair that distinctive ‘70s feel.

Your locks can be prepped with Volumising Mousse and the rollers go into dry hair.

Finger through to keep a slightly separated tussled look with a little Magic Oil, too.

Classic tonging

A different type of curl in that the strength of the wave is even down to the tips although dragged at the root to prevent too much height which would then be more ‘60s.

The tonging is worked on dry hair but hair can be prepped first with some Magic Oil or Volumising Mousse and may need some blow-drying around the hairline first for a better finish.

Finally, some Ten Second Transformation gives texture and a more modern feel.

‘30s Hollywood glamour

Prep the hair with Thickening Blowdry Spray and a little Magic Oil.

Blow-dry the hair with body and then use small tongs, curling the hair away from the face. Comb out the curl and tease it with a brush to get that Hollywood glamour wave. Smooth one side and pin with a hair accessorise behind the ear.

Finish with a mist of Holding Spray. Quick party ponytail Separate smoothed hair from ear to ear – with the back section create the ponytail then split the top section into three and back comb the roots. Smooth all sections over, and secure with a pin. A spritz of Holding Spray will make sure that your style will not move!
