How To Create '90S-Inspired Supermodel Hair

Live hi, hello, everybody good afternoon and welcome to our behind the chair segment. My name is melanie bolton, i'm with flo hair care here on behalf of west coast beauty, and today i'm going to be showing you a way to create a bombshell 90s supermodel below out. So we're going to be talking about ways that we can increase the volume in our clients hair, give them something: that's really fantastic and really over the top, but also techniques that are a little bit faster in the salon. Ways that we can share that with our clients and ways that they can do that at home today. So today, i'm here with flo hair care and i'm going to be talking about the products that we're using on mercedes as we go. Um roz is, on the other end our vp. She is answering questions so if there's any questions that you'd like to ask you'll feel them on that end, and so i'm going to start right away with talking about what we're doing with mercedes hair. So the very first thing i'd like to share with you guys is: we have to analyze the texture that we're working with so when you're choosing the products that you would like to do, um like to use, we really want to analyze what texture we're working with With her hair um, are we talking about a c3c4 tight curl? Are we talking about something a little bit looser or some silky texture, so with mercedes? She has a little bit of curl in her hair. So what i've done ahead of time is i've prepped her and used all day tame our smoothing balm all the way through her hair combing it through her ends. So we've started with that all the way through her hair and what we're going to do with our client is we're going to isolate her from experience, isolate her into four sections, so we're going to determine where her part is, i'm going to just turn mercedes head. A little bit now i've completed the back section for you, so we don't go all the way through, but a little trick to share with you guys. If you see back here, this is the mastoid bone, and when i like to take my side section, i want to make sure it's behind the ear at the mastoid bone. So that way i have more hair to style and to deal with. So i find, when we section sometimes ear to ear it's too shallow of a section to get that bombshell kind of juicy hair that we like to look, and we take a look at that 90s vibe of hair. It'S very bouncy lots of movement, lots of shine! So we want to make sure that it's really has a lot to show showcase around in the face. Okay, so we're going to isolate this out and i'm going to go ahead and start on mercedes right hand side. So this is mercedes. She is our house model with flo hair care, and she is here today as always showing her gorgeous hair. So the very first thing we're going to start is prep with thermal protector. This is our radiant armor. Now guys, i really want to share with you a hairdresser to hairdresser, please practice safe hair dressing and always make sure that you're using thermal protection and heat protection. So this is something that's been a really wonderful experience for me as an artist. I do a lot of styling, so this product i use on all of my blow stone clients, but i also use it for all of my heat styling clients as well any sort of heat styling. I use it's got a wonderful little bit of grit to it. A little bit of hold to it, so it helps me in my directional blow styling. So as you notice too, before i go ahead and start taking, that section out, i make sure that the product is evenly applied all the way through. Okay, also before we get started on mercedes blow dry, we want to make sure that her hair is about 85 to 90 percent dry. Before we get started a lot of times, you'll notice with novice stylus is that they're, starting with really wet hair and also without hair sectioned out. So if you have a little bit more control over it and we've determined and got rid of most of the dampness before we get started, you'll notice that you'll have more control over your sections, more control over the hair that you're working with, but also too it's Not going to take you a long long time, because today time is in essence, and also too, we want to make sure that our clients are looked after. We have enough time to look after them. What'S the best way to take the moisture out with a towel or rough dry, what do you recommend for bringing that up ross? Thank you for asking what i like to do is just to show you i like to rough dry at the roots before we get started and if we're creating something i want to share with you hairstyles to hairstylist. We want to start where we want to finish so. If you want to create volume, i would like to create volume right from the beginning, so i lift hair up right from the beginning. If i want it to be smooth, i push the hair down right. So when i'm doing this circumstance roz, i like to lift it up before i get started and make sure the majority of the uh the the dampness is out of the hair. So i like to share this. We don't call it blow drying, we call it blue, styling, okay, because the hair is mostly dry, we're gon na finish in style with this okay. So as we're doing, i'm going to take this section and we're going to start with larger sections, so i like to work um around the shape of the client's face, because i like to have her engaged in this. So, whenever i'm doing this in the salon, i'm going to get you slightly turned sweetie. I always try to do this in the front of the face first. So that way she can see the amazing results right away and i use the corner of her eyebrow or the the arch of her eyebrow as a reference point. I'M just going to go ahead and isolate that out and get that out of the way. Now my hair stylist, if you're used to working with your blow dryer like a gun, that's totally fine. Okay, so just so you know, this is our tool. So as we move this, it decides how we direct the blow or how we direct the flow of the air and how we have control over it. So with this 90s blowout, we really want to make sure that has lots of bounce and lots of shine. I'M going to choose to hold my hair dryer like this for education, so you can see more of my technique, but if we want to we'll see that catch a ross right, if we want to, of course we can still hold like traditionally, okay. So, just so you know i'm holding this more for education purposes, okay, so i'm going to go ahead and we have our round brush before i start with this, i want to share with you that that 90s blowout is about having distance away from our face. So before we get started, we really want to make sure that we're lifting this up we're going to introduce our round brush to the section, and what i want to share with you is when we are working with this. We want to start where we want to finish so when i'm working with this, i want to elevate the section to make sure that i'm up on base now, i noticed a lot of novice stylists when they're working with this or people who are not used to That volumizing they're literally pulling the blue styler before them, so just to show you the difference. What we don't want to see if we don't want to be pushing the hair down, because that is smoothing the hair and making it flat. So what we're going to be doing is elevating going up on this and focusing onto the curl end of the brush into the root and you'll notice. What i like to do is just pull away and come up and pull away, and let that sit. So when i'm doing this in the slumber stage, you have some audience participation. Thank you, darling, okay, so when we're doing this in the salon, i find a lot of times what happens if we're not comfortable with it, we really are really uneasy with our tension. So i want to make sure that our tension that we're using is tight when we're pulling down to the cuticle, making sure that it's smooth. So we have that shine, but we also don't have too much tension where this brush gets stuck in here. Okay, so you'll noticing that i'm just very relaxed and we allow the tool to do the work for you. Okay, once this section is here, we want to make sure that we set this, because, when we're dealing with great heat, styling and great with glow styling, we have to allow this section to cool properly in order for it to achieve its total set. Now, from experience, i've tried this without allowing to set, and i'm here to tell you - i guarantee you it will not last as long as it will, if we don't have time for it to settle so what we're going to do is just unwrap this. Just like it's, the most beautiful ribbon and wrap it around your hand. Do you see how it just wants to go around like that very easily and we're just gon na take that in easy peasy, i'm gon na take one of these guys, all your hairdressers. We know we have these everywhere in our house and just go ahead and ice that isolate that. So you notice that she's staying up on base notice that she's right equal with the section that we're using, but also too that this has time in order to cool. So that we can have that optimum bounce and optimus shine, and now i'm gon na work on to the next section, here's a question from christine. Yes, do you also over direct forward to straighten out her frizzy areas of the hairline? Thank you for that. Thank you. For bringing this up, we always have to analyze the type of texture that we're dealing with okay, so she's, very, very, very, very curly and very frizzy through here. What i might do is kind of slightly pull up out away from the hair and smooth that in this circumstance, and the reason why i want to pull away from her face is because this 90s look is all about the distance away from her face right. We really want to make sure that it's kind of pulling away from her eyebrow, so i like to pull out this way if that makes sense for that blow dry. Okay, thank you for bringing that question up. Thank you so much for asking that all right and now we're going to go on with this next section. So as you cannotice, while i'm isolating out two i'm taking large sections so they're, roughly about the same circumference as whatever size brush that you're choosing to use. Okay, so i'm gon na go ahead and elevate. This really focusing on the smoothing - and i want to remind you guys that airflow is very, very important for blow styling now i notice a lot of novice stylists really have it it's right on the brush and there's no airflow when we're doing that. Also too, we could be burning hair okay, so you want to make sure you keep distance and notice what i'm doing is pulling away from her face and rolling. Then roll out roll in roll out roll in and just relax. I find with this part when we're working with hair cells, in particular, when i take this section. This is why making sure that the section at the side of the mastoid is so thick. When we have this nice side section, that's nice and thick, we have a lot of hair to work with, and it just gives it that more juicy looking blow style when we're finished, which is important because thickness and fullness is really a beautiful thing for this blowout. Okay, pull this over to the side. Okay and again, so we really want to relax and notice that i'm just unraveling it like growing up laying a ribbon and see how it wants to spin around your hand for you. So i had very good advice early on in my career, where my coach would say, allow the tool to do the work for you yeah. So this is what we allow this to do as i allow that to go ahead and stream through, and we're going to have some time to isolate this now, i'm going to get back into her fringe area, because to me that is the money section. So, in my opinion, we want to make sure we finish that with a lot of love. So i'm just going to isolate that out again and kind of get it out of my way and i'm a big fan of like working at the section that i'm in front of now a lot of times. People in all the stylists are like. Well, they don't want to section out, and i want to keep everything going at once, but if we're making sure that we're doing this correctly and for education, i want to make sure that we're doing it section by section so that we can understand what's happening. I'M going to get you to just spin the other way, darling all the way around okay and then we're going to go work on the other side of mercedes hair. So, while i'm doing this, if you can see behind me here, while i'm isolating this, so we have a question from sheena - yes sheena, just wondering is the dry: are you using a dyson and how do you rate the dyson hair dryer? I think you're bringing that up, i'm not gon na lie. This is one of the second times that i've worked with the dyson. It is a dyson, and i like it, um i just want to share with you - is that there is a difference between blow stylers. No matter what brand that you're working with this is what they call an ionic close dollar and i was explaining to roz it's like regular blow stylers, it's kind of like what they do is um. Imagine your hair is a great big, huge garbage pail and the water molecules are actually basketballs that are in there regular uh blow stylers just kind of move the basketballs around until it eventually gets dry. An ionic dryer shrinks the water molecule down to like teeny tiny ping pong balls, and that means that the good uh moisture stays in the hair and it usually takes a lot less time to dry right but to each their own. I really believe that uh artists work with the tools that they love right, so i like to uh i like it, i like to say i like it, it's a really nice tip. What'S the main difference that you find with the dyson compared to other one you're using to be honest with me, the main difference i find is weight. It weighs a lot less and i find it's quieter, which is nice, so sometimes right yeah. I hope that answered that for you here. Thank you, okay, so if you want to come right here, so you can see again. This is a really great section, so you can see how far behind that mastoid bone we are and how much space we have to go ahead and work with that section right, so you're noticing that i'm pulling all the way through and, for example, guys. I find a lot of time with novice clothes colors because they keep back and forth back and forth and really we want to set it in that round space. So i want you to go up onto the base and really we're focusing on the roots. So what i do is just release and come back release and come back now, one of the things that's so beautiful about this technique. My friends is that you look like a professional hair stylist when you're done. What'S wonderful about this. Is clients love the idea of feeling special looking like things are set and we were talking before we actually started about this renaissance of hairstyling, that's kind of happening now. One other thing that's been really cool um about cova, not very much um is that we've had the opportunity to kind of reflect and re-change how we're styling, and so i'm noticing that you know we're kind of getting back to this renaissance of styling and doing beautiful Hair - and i do want to share with you too there's something to be said about making your client feel wonderful. It'S a noble cause. Our clients are coming in experiencing all the same things that we are so, i think, there's nothing better than making a woman feel like a total babe when she's in the salon right. So i want to share with you from experience it's difficult for them to want to come in, to see us the way that they used to. So i want that experience to be very special and i'm really noticing this renaissance of styling, which is coming back, which is my favorite thing. So i do share that um offering this to the client has been something that's been really rewarding, but also too. They feel very uh special and they feel elevated when they leave and there's something to be said about a feeling in your space um. So mary beth is asking the question: what heat setting are you using to style? Thank you. So this isn't hot heat, okay and all that all the high heat. Okay and the reason i like that high heat is because i can really make sure the cuticle is smooth, but also when it cools it really cools. Okay, so thank you for bringing this up when we're styling hair, whether it be a roller set or any sort of heat set, you have to make sure that it's cool to the touch beforehand, though, if we don't evenly heat it like a convection oven. Does that make sense so like when you put a turkey in the oven or something that it literally heats all the way around? So we want that to happen with hair and i'm finding when we have really really long hair. I want to have some distance and make sure there's enough heat. I want to share with you guys too that this thermal protector is hands down the best i've ever used in my career. So this is so wonderful for protecting her from any heat damage and if she has been decolorized or if she's, naturally blonde or naturally fine in the hair to your point, we have to make sure that we're protecting it. Does that make sense? Okay, so i'm going to keep going on here so we're on time, yeah um. So here's one uh narina has a question that says: if a client has very frizzy hair and stuck in the brush, what should you do? Excellent question who's? The name of the lady who asked that. Thank you so much for asking that. I want to say thank you, okay, so, ahead of time when i was an apprentice, i'm not going to tell you how long ago, because that's going to age me, but when i was an apprentice, this used to be a problem of mine and the reason is, Is because i was a really good hair cutter and hair cutters are all about tension and strong sections. So if it's really frizzy, what i want to share with you is, i would suggest that you smooth most of the hair up first before we do this technique. So what i would do is smooth most of the kink and the frizz out of the hair. The other thing i'm going to say to you is when we roll this, can you hold this here when we roll this into the hair? Okay, i'm just going to take this out totally our tip. Look, how pretty it's going to be. Our tension has to be relaxed. Okay, so i find a lot of times we want to like like push it up and really tight like a roller set, and we don't want to do that because the way these are are actually constructed is to hold on to the hair. Naturally, so you just want to allow it to wrap and the weight will hold on to it on its own next thing if it does get stuck breathe first thing i say to you, because when you get upset and tight, usually what happens is that you get All freaked out and it doesn't come out, but i want to share with you if it ever does. What i want to do is relax and just pick the hair up piece by piece and it will come out very gently if you try to pull that tension out. Well, you know girl it's going to stay in there forever. Did that answer your question. Yes, um shane is asking as for the products you're currently using, do they hold the style well in humid conditions like in south florida, oh well, my friend in south florida, i am also on the east coast. Humidity is our vibe. Yes, i'm going to share with you is our anti-connecting powers and slow hair care are some of the best in the world, and the reason is is because of our hydration flow hair care is one of the only is the only company in the world that carries Has something called h5 architecture, and our h5 architecture system means that we can create a moisture bomb for all hair types. If you're dealing with humidity, we actually are dealing with moisture balance. As you know, okay, so they're not enough or too much and the texture will totally change. So, whenever i'm doing blow styles, i have clients will ask like why do your blue snails last as long as they do, and the reason is darlings is because we use product before okay, so i want to share with you if you are in florida, my friend, This all-day team has been florida tested and the reason i'll say that to you is us: torontonians have something called snow birds, they all live in florida, so my clients actually will come and they go with this to florida. Because of that different, you know um humidity. In the air, so i'm going to say it's probably the best anti-humidity i've used in my career. I hope that answered your question here. Excellent, there's, a lovely bag sitting behind you. Yes, can i talk about that? Now? Yes, please, okay, so i'm so excited guys because we love to give away some fun stuff.

So you have an opportunity to win this if you make a comment on our live feed. Excellent. Thank you. You'Re welcome! So tell us a little bit about west coast beauty as you're doing your next section. Oh, i'm so excited to talk about this so west coast. Beauty, if i can share, is a revolution in our industry, so it's kind of amazing about west coast beauty, it's the first online distributorship of its time of its kind. So what that means is that for me, as a hair stylist, i can retail to anybody anywhere. So what happens is my client can click onto my link? They can retail anywhere from any time and we can ship to their client, but also too it means. I can order and receive free product every single time that i uh order from this service. So, what's amazing about west coast beauty is it allows me to shop on my time and retail on my time and my space and there's been nothing like it in the world, we've been so far, really successful, other stylists that are working with it, but also what It means is that we can retail 24 7 7 days a week to any of our clients, and only professional beauty have the opportunity to purchase it great exciting, and we have a question: what what brand is the brush you're using? This is called the hot head. Speed brush excellent and i want to share with you - i have this sweet lady um. I call her the uh she's the wisdom of school and she always tells me about the newest one. So she strongly suggested this and i have to tell you i really. I love it. Okay, how much of an impact does the brush have in a blowout like this and what size brush? Should you be using excellent question? Thank you for asking that just like in any curl pattern or any curl thing we choose, the circumference of the brush is going to determine how much lift, how much volume and how much smoothing we have the smaller your round brush the more curl we're going to Get and in this circumstance we want some movement, but we don't want curl. Okay. Also too, her hair is very long. So in the reality in the hair salon, is we have about half an hour to make her beautiful? We don't have a two hour blow style for her right, so i'm finding is using at least two and a half three inches in the barrel for longer hair and there's larger ones that actually come up like this right um. But i want to say this one. I find is like that perfect, you know kind of thing for super long, hair and in between, so this is kind of my favorite size that i like to use. I think that's three inches. I think right, but it does really matter now. I want to actually add to this to your point: here's a question from dasha: do you have anything great for fine hair that will add maximum volume? Oh boy? Yes, i do. I want to share with you that um one of my passions is i'm a master wig maker, so when you're dealing with wigs or you have schmutz on there when you're dealing with wigs um, you deal with a lot of hair, anomalies and scalp anomalies, and people Are losing their hair, so volume is my thing: it's something that i'm really gon na have to outsource, and i want to share with you darling. Can i grab this? Is that okay yep this boundless body now to be, i mean very honest. I was a moose junkie, moose junkie before i started meeting this and a sales rep actually offered this for me to try it because he knew that i was big into these blowouts and i i can say realistically the architecture that this creates just is the best I'Ve ever used also, i found that moose lived a life in my chair. This lives a life until she washes her hair again. The memory and the lift that you get from this. So what we're going to do is focus on her regrowth when we're using this, and also too i use it for roller sets and other things i like to create volume with. Does that make sense yeah so mostly through the root um and then as you're? Creating sets you'll put it through the hair, of course, right now, application is 90 of anything we do right. Of course, we always have to apply it correctly. I always joke and say, like you, could have the best color formula in the world, but if you apply it on your shoe, who cares you know what i mean, so we have to make sure we're applying it. So if it makes sense, bodying is about root from the architecture. Right smoothing is usually about from the ends. Okay, but that's why, when we started this, i want to share for anyone who's joining today, we're talking about creating that supermodel bombshell. 90S blow style. So you do have to analyze what texture you're, starting with first now, this technique can be used on all textures, but we want to make sure that we're creating the correct product for the correct texture, that's in front of us. Okay, we have a question from danielle, which is um she's, also florida, and she was saying how long would you use the cold setting um to set to set the areas uh, the sections you yeah there? She goes, i'm being totally honest with you um with this technique. I don't really use the cold setting because by the time i'm up to the next section. A lot of this has cooled for me, okay, so even in conditions where it's like hot in florida, humid and stuff, like that, would you not use a cool setting, of course now, of course, there's circumstances where you want to use a cool setting, but i'm really Big on, like one one thousand two one thousand three is like kind of my count for anything. So if i'm doing a hot shot, i'll go one one thousand two one thousand three and then a cool shot for about the same time. The key for having a cool shot is if it's, if it's still warm to the touch in any way, it's not ready to be released. Okay, so even if you have done a cool shot, i would suggest putting a diffuser on your blue styler and do a cool thing all over right to make sure that it's evenly cooled. If that makes sense, yeah great so you're saying like uh, let it set for a little bit yeah and then, if you still feel the warmth, add your diffuser correct as like. Almost a an overhead dryer for cool yeah coolness. Okay! So now we're moving on to the money section. So i'm just going to go ahead and isolate this out, so you guys can see a little better and of course she has that beautiful curtain fringe. So we're going to acknowledge that in the next little bit. So at this point, i'd like her to have some audience participation. Okay, so i'm going to get her to tilt her head back a little bit and this way you can see immediately that you're going to be lifting okay and not going towards the floor yeah. So we don't want to be pulling this down towards us when we're taking the section every time we're doing this we're finishing starting where we want to finish we're lifting where we want to be okay, so you'll notice, where my brush is okay, just to show you How it looks when it's incorrect and how it looks when it's correct makes sense, we can see that we're on base and when we say on base, if you look right, can you tilt your head towards her this week? Put your chin this way, honey! Don'T look at me in the mirror, like this yeah like this to your head. There we go there like she's, pretty though she's so pretty okay, so you take this section and you'll notice. This is the base we're talking about. So we talk about being on base when we roll we're going to be finishing on base. This makes sense. Okay, so we find a lot of times when people are going wrong with this is because they're pulling it towards them versus pulling it up towards the ceiling. Okay, so to share with you, because i want to show you this section, what i'll do is make sure those ends have a little bit of thermo and heat protector, and i always make sure that it's combed in properly zane is asking. Are these products and brush available to purchase in canada? Yes, i'm from canada, i'm actually shooting here in toronto, so yeah, absolutely okay. Now i'm very proud to share with our products is that we are so proudly sustainably made beauty product, we're very proud to say that we own our own leap, certified manufacturing plant, i'm very proud to say that we are completely equal, friendly, vegan and we'll be moving Forward even further in the future to make sure that our sustainable methods get even better, but i'm very proud of how we purchase and make these products here and the result is amazing. I don't know if hairdressers are like this, but it's natural, it's great, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. So. To me, what's great is that the performance of this is spectacular, and my feedback from my clients has been wonderful, and i want to share with you on that is that in toronto we have 187 different cultures. So, to say that my chair is very multicultural is as an understatement. So what's wonderful is i can share with you. Is that flow hair care? I'Ve tried on literally 187 different cultures. So if you notice that i'm wrapping that around and see how it just wants to wrap around for you, i notice this is when people like kind of freak out. So what i do is, i do a little pinch and then tuck that end in you see how chill i am too guys you just want to relax eh. I always notice really great hair cutters and great colorists are so tense because you guys are so into sectioning, which is correct, but with styling. This is a cool thing. This is our fun. It'S like cooking right now, if you think about it, cutting hair and and coloring is like baking. You have to be bang on, but the thing that's so amazing about this is just fun. You know it feels good, so christina's asking. How do you get the baby hair to sit after blow drying because they always stand up to always stand up? I'M going to show you a little trick. What i like to do: okay, so um! What i like to do is remember that this is our tool. It'S a directional tool and directional blow. Styling is kind of my jam, so what i'll do is, if there's baby hairs that are in places, i'm not happy. I'M just going to turn this the power down, so you can see, as i literally kind of move them with the roll. So you see them right in the in the set yeah and what's kind of great and i'm so glad you brought this up. This is one of the things i love about this bombshell. Blowout is it's about movement? It'S about freedom right, so it doesn't have to be so like too sleek. You know what i mean. It'S really about movement she's. I really want her to be able to put her hands through it and feel it so having some of that natural texture actually gives it that sexy look if that makes sense right and then so good right. So i didn't hear you yeah uh toothbrush, okay, so she's talking about using the toothbrush for the smoothie. We can do that too, when we're smoothing and finishing, but we'll get into the big finish when we're done so right here in her fringe. Her fringe is her real. What i call her money piece so we're just going to isolate that out of the way make sure that it's perfect, so you're noticing, with her head, tilting back towards me. Okay, that way, my body is not moving too much and it's more of a comfortable situation for her. Now i found from experience i want to tell you how long i've been doing hair for, but the more your body is comfortable. The less injury you're gon na have to when you're doing this, so you notice that my body, my posture, is good, i'm not forcing myself in any way, so it means i won't get injured over time as well. Okay, so i'm just going ahead and putting that thermal protector back in i'm going to do this section. Are you enjoying it so far? My friends! I want to share with you guys that he's very excited to do this today. Our team here at flow hair care is very excited to talk about some really fabulous techniques for our fellow hairdressers, but also too the opportunity that we can purchase any product whenever we want to 24 7 7 days a week from our online boutique is so incredible. So it's been a huge opportunity i want to share with you guys. Have you ever had a circumstance too? This happens to me a lot for clients, my friends who are not their hairdresser will tell people, i'm a hairdresser and all of a sudden you're doing a consultation right for clients. What'S kind of neat about this now is that you can reach out to those clients too anywhere you want. So can you chin back a little bit here? So question came in as to do you start this look from the bottom, or do you stop start from top down like how does it happen? Thank you for bringing it up so when i started this, what i always share with folks is that i like to start this typically in the front now for this class, i've started in the back chin back darling yeah. So for this i started in the back. So because that's where the majority of her hair is so that you don't have to see all of the sections, but i usually start my glow styles in the front, and the reason is because i like to see her reaction. I, like she likes her to be part of it, so when she sees that piece that's coming down and it's amazing, she just kind of relax and she gets into it um. She can't really see what's happening in the back now. On the other hand, too, if she has a boatload of hair like if she has a lot of hair, remember you still need to be a hairdresser. You still need to work with the hair, that's in front of you. So if you only have 40 minutes - and this is where the most of her hair is start from the bottom and move your way up, does that make sense? Okay, can you hold this for me dear, thank you and then we're going to just go ahead and pull this back. So if you can pull this up raw, so you can see for folks who haven't seen up here right so again, i'm just going to go ahead and release it and turn it around my hand, neat huh yeah. So how would you advise your client to recreate this look at home, great okay, so one of the things i'm going to be very honest with you and share is the cool thing about this technique? Is nobody's going to be able to do better than you as a hairdresser which is kind of great um, but how we can go ahead and style this at home? Is i'm going to introduce this to you guys is these? Are our velcro rollers and i'm going to show you after we blow sell this, how they can achieve this exact same look at home using these. Does that make sense? Okay, also too, making sure they have the proper tools, nothing works, but a round brush. Let'S be honest, so when they ask me, how do you create this look at home? I start asking them questions. What kind of tools do you have at home? Do you have a round brush that looks like this? Do you have some clips that look like this right, because if they don't have those tools, there's really no point in talking about if the technique's gon na work for them right, so i make sure they have the right tools. The other thing that i like to do - and please steal this from me guys because it's been very successful for me - is every look that i do, whether it's a bombshell, blowout or braids, or a slick, snatch, ponytail or anything. I always put the products aside that go with it so that way, if they want this look, the tools are one thing, but let's be honest, if they're not using our products, they're not going to achieve the look, make sense great okay. So i'm going to keep on keeping on now in mercedes circumstance. Here i am going to do a little bit of smoothing because, as we can see, she is quite curly through here, so i'm going to actually pull this forward just around this spot. To make sure this is real, pretty and that color lovely, so i'm just going to go ahead and smooth that out ahead of time. Okay, so guys, please hear me, please make sure you're using thermal protection. Okay, if you've actually seen what i've done. This for clients is, i've actually sprayed this on one side of a piece of bread and put it in a toaster, and then it comes out and the side that has been sprayed with this is perfectly white and not burnt at all. And i show that to my clients and go. That is why you use thermal protector. Okay, that's a fancy trick! It'S well, i'm all about show and tell with her with clients, because clients sometimes don't believe all the stuff that we do. They think it's like. Oh okay, whatever so, i'm really big on, show and tell with clients. I think that's really important, so i'm just gon na shoot it like a gun now, so i can move it forward for you, but i'm just going to smooth this a little bit because she's so curly and i want to make sure dyson's like wiley. Do you use more of the heat protection and product as you're doing the style? Thank you for bringing that up. Every section that i put through this is why i section in four different spots, because i'm just working section by section. So as i spray um, i spray per section, okay, if that makes sense, and that way i know that it's completely absorbed all the way through the hair too, because i am a bit of a control preak. If you know anything about me, okay, so i'm just going to let this one relax now usually with most if her hair was a little bit longer through here, i'd pull it out, but i really kind of want to work on this fringe. So we're going to get back to that in a little second okay, so you can see that we've isolated this all out. Oh jesus isolated it all out, and thankfully i'm done my blowout okay. So then, once this is all out this way, i want you to go ahead and feel with your hands. Okay, if and anything, is still hot to the touch, my darlings, it is not ready to release okay. So i like to time this for about five. Ten minutes generally make sure that it's cool, and so, when you're not obviously doing education. How long would this set take? Thank you for bringing it up and i've timed it. I am 25 minutes from start to finish on a regular round brush. Okay. So with this, obviously, we've had to slow it down so that we can see the sections by sections together, but the the point to this is to get a real vavavoom effect without taking a lot of time. Okay, now, if we do have super curly hair in front of us, please hear me: you have to be a hairdresser and work with the texture. That'S in front of you so we'll have to smooth that at first, but i do suggest doing a quick wrap dry because you don't need to do a double blow stuff, if that makes sense just enough to get the frizz out. Okay, all right! So now what we're going to do is take these out and we can see that amazing bounce. Does it look good guys a little bit of bounce a little bit of love right? I love because mercedes has this audience participation. So it's fantastic and you'll notice. You see all that movement that comes out notice. All of that control that you have and what's so nice is my clients, i always get them the audience. Participation just like mercedes is doing see all that incredible balance. Now, my friends, i sincerely hope you're enjoying some of these techniques today and seeing some of the result that we're getting. Is it look fantastic, okay, a lot of balance, a lot of body and notice too that, as i move it through, it's going to stay very full, very shiny with all this movement and body daniel's asking do you use a light hairspray before removing the clips? You know it depends on her hair type to your point. Okay, i'm very lucky with mercedes hair type. It'S got a lot of hold. Do i mean she's got that little bit of soft texture, so it's got a little hole to it, but if she's fine, like my hair - yes, please, okay, and i want to share with you our flex hairspray, for that is incredible. So i love the flex hair spray and what i usually do is when i do my second shot with this or with my rulers i'll go ahead and make sure that the flex is through. Thank you for bringing that up. Okay, darling, so i'm going to keep releasing this and notice to how much body how much movement she has and also too, if we see it, we really did it in like a few sections, really isolated it out, get a few beautiful sections and we can see Too, that her color is starting to come alive. Does she look good, darlings gorgeous? Okay, let me get tilted that way. So now, just to finish so just so, you know from start to finish we're looking at about 20 minutes in total, okay, 25 minutes and then what i want you guys to do is to take your favorite detangling brush. And what i like to do is put my hair spray on that, okay, so just kind of gets a little bit of control tilt your head back darling! I'M just going to move this back! Look at that here, all that body all that movement. Is it look good, darling, wow, okay, now to share with you a little ps, little resistance? Let'S look at you in the front here. The big thing about this baba boom blowout is the distance between her face. So i want to share with you when i use my hair sprays when i'm finishing so i just want to keep that introduced. I'M going to use one of these finishing clips just to make sure that we have that voom push and push that that way. Now our root reboot dry, texture spray - is what i like to do to create that extra boom, so you'll notice. What i do is pull it right out around the front of the face and spray and see by just massaging that in look at how much distance you get from her hair, you see it and same thing over here, so we do shake focus on the root. You feel like a supermodel mercedes, you look like one and then what i'll do is just take now. I want to tell you i'm a hairspray girl. I don't want to tell you how old i am, but we lived on hairspray back in the day.
