Okay, hi Kevin here, I'm going to show you how to use our new invention called wave clip now wave clip is quite an ingenious invention in the way that what it does it gives your hair just that very subtle, slight movement, so I'm sure that you've had Clients asking you for just a bit of movement. So what you do is you blow-dry the hair smooth? Then you apply the wave clip after just to give your straight blow-dryer just that little tiny subtle little wave, so it actually makes the hair a bit sort of 70s looking, but without looking like without having to go the trouble using hot irons tongs. So it's a really simple product to you. So simply all you really have to do is, I would apply like a holding product like say, anti-gravity or bodybuilder. I'D put it into the hair first dry, the hair, smooth and then pretty much take a section all at once. I'M just going to spin you around a bit here, so you take quite a large section now you want to drop this down sort of quite load because you're not really looking for a lot of height out of the product, you're, really looking for a bit more Movement, so you want to take it straight in, like so take a really quite a large section so here of leaving the front out, because we've got a bit of a short fringe. What I'm going to do is take that whole side. So it's a slight sort of triangle section, so you want to go straight in like so and then just make sure there are no hair cording. The ridges and all you do is just click you're done. Then you take your next wave clip. Then you want to bring that all the way down. They see the wave clips all meet up to the end here. So when you're all the way down, like so make sure, there's no hair course and click now, because the hair is a bit laid on the bottom, we're just going to put a little clip in the bottom just to secure that. So what you want to do is just to keep that nice and secure just want to take your little tiny little clip and clip that in just on the end. That'S going to really hold that in okay. So next section I'd split the hair into four really. So I'm going to go one two, three four, so your next section is all around here. Split that section into two go straight in up to around the occipital bone: pull the hair in clip. It'S like so put the wave clip right up to the edge like so make sure the hair doesn't get stuck and kick it in, like so grab your trusty little pin and just pin those ends off in like so, and then pull the hair and secure your Next section you want to grab that hair from the underneath. That does it all at once, or your wave clip in and secure click in and then secure the pin again we're going to leave that little bit of front out. We really want that. Straightness around the front, because this is really good for just giving the illusion of wave as well, because you're not really after a very full on wave, just after something very soft and very floaty. Now you want to take your hairnet because your hair, that's going to stop you from having flyaways and then you want to just wrap the hand it over the entire section like so, and then you take your product, so you're going to use the product like full-on Protection, so full-on protection is the best one to use, so you want to spray the product after it has gone into the clips couple, light sprays sort of dampen that hair a little bit not too much. You want to take your trusty dryer. Now you want to put your dryer on high heat and low blow and you want to heat those wave clips up and what you'll notice is the hair within the head act up and get all the flyaway? So it's a really good way of putting wave into the hair without having a flyaway. You want to blow them from the behind and them on top so blow them on top and then blow them from behind just to really get that hair completely formed in there. So now you've got to give them a blast with cold air, because it's the cooling down that sets the hair, not the heating up. So just turn your hair dryer on to cold and just give them a little blast with cool air forget a minute or so just to really cool down the hair, because that's going to set the hair okay, so we've let them cool for long enough. Now it's just a matter of taking off the hair net, so you want to gently pry that hand head off. Remove the net, remove your little pins, it's pretty much click open and you can see how it started to a really formal wave click them open. You get a beautiful soft wave coming through there. The result of this is you get a really nice natural-looking wave without a lot of effort. Normally you'd have to actually you know, get your tongs out, get your rollers out. It takes forever and clients, don't actually want that. Curly they're, just after this sort of loose wave that doesn't have any fries in it, so you're getting no flyaways and no frizz. The trick is to grab both those sections at once when you're doing the underneath, because that's going to give you a very soft watery, looking wave, you can see, the hair just looks really wavy and soft. It'S all you need to do is run your fingers through that and what it's done is it's really extended the life of your blow-dry because made your straight blow-dry turn wavy. Okay, so you can see what it's given. This is a really soft natural wave. So the hair five minutes ago was completely straight, and now it's got a beautiful sort of natural movement to it. All you really want to do is just pull that through with your fingers, so you can see. We'Ve got a very soft subtle. Look that looks completely natural and it's changed that a straight blow-dry into a gorgeous sort of wavy, undone, sort of almost seventies. Look as well, which is really nice and the best part about is the client hasn't lost any length. So, instead of the going for the S formation, she's just got a very gentle subtle wave in her hair everything. It looks great with lots of volume which is really good. So there's your wave clips on blow-dried hair
