Get The Look: Casino Hair With Chris Appleton

So this look is called casino, now casino. If and if you've seen, the film is very glamorous, there's a character in it, which has very you know, kind of glamorous Vegas hair, but it looks cool in look sexy. It'S not cheesy. It'S really kind of beautiful and I think the key part to the look is having the hair pulled away from the face and keeping it really clean, but then complementing it with this really sort of sexy glamour. So we're gon na do a few Hollywood tricks and I'm going to show you how I create that look by using hair pieces. So I'm taking a section from the crowns. It'S just on top of the ears either side at the head and then we're gon na leave that hair forward ready for when we pull the front of the hair back, then what we're going to do from the crown to the nape of the neck is to Split that into two and do two raids. If you're not great at braids in it really doesn't matter, you don't have to be the best, but it's just literally about getting a nice flat head shape. So I'd always recommend to keep the top quite flat here. Just so when the hairpiece it's in its it's flat and I would usually braid it quite low so now we're gon na get the two braids cross them over and literally just pin them away at the lower end of the mate. Now the idea is when you're pinning away the braids. Is you try and keep it as flat as possible and just follow the head shape, so a sprain cult favorite all through the roots here, cult favorite is an amazing hairspray, especially on blondes, because it doesn't do. The color keeps the color super bright in super shiny and also give us an amazing hold. So we're going to take that section that we left out and literally just brush it up into a half of ponytail. Now what I like to do when I'm creating the ponytail is always to make sure that you get these side. Sections were really really snatched so make sure you use your brush and really brush those up to give you that really. First, look: you see how that instantly changes the shape of the face. It really really emphasizes our cheekbones and then I'm just gon na tie it with a clear elastic, so just a regular, clear elastic and I'm not gon na tie it too high. Just because I'm gon na put the hairpiece on top, so I want to tie it low just so we don't get a bump underneath now. This is the hair piece that we're going to use it's basically just a half piece that will it's you're going to clip in it has combs on the top. We have a chrome on the top and underneath and just a clip either side. And what I like to do is I use the comb on the top and I literally get the comb and slide it in on the top section and then pull the hair around clip it in either side. Today you can see it. Has this really beautiful? Volumous. Look it has that real kind of casino, vibe and what's great about it, is it's all prepped with the Dreamcoat. So you get that really beautiful glossy intense shine. This isn't what the hairpiece looks like when I first brought it. It takes a bit of love and it takes a bit of work so I'll always prep it with a dream coat and I'll blow dry. It in to give me that really beautiful expensive finish now the great thing about hair pieces and hair extensions is you can prep them off the head. So I'm going to show you exactly how I prepped the hair. I use the color well style on steroids. This is an amazing product, especially when you're using heat and when you win volume, a lot of other products tend to get sticky when you put the heat on the hair this one, so it has heat protection in, but it'll also increase the density of your hair And give you a lot more volume so I'll give it a lightness just give it a little comb through and then I'm actually using a really large barrel, curling iron. So this is two and a half inches. I put it in towards the sort of root of mid lamps and then I'm actually just feeding it through. To give you a really luxurious, almost blow-dried effect, okay, the next step. What we're going to do is fill out the hairline. Now I use this product on 99 % of my clients. It'S amazing from blending extensions to really fill-in out a whole hair line. Now the models hair line, she has a good hair line, but I always feel that when I pull the hair back, you can always see a difference in you know the skin tone to the scalp and he looks gapi and it makes the hair look finer than It is so I love to use the color well mineral powder. I really kind of load this up on the brush and I literally just go in right here and all around the hairline to fill it out, and it literally transforms any hairline from looking sparse to a full bit hairline. For me, there's nothing worse than the product move in and a lot of other products that I've used tend to kind of move down to the face and they dust and they kind of spread. This stays exactly where you put it. In fact, it's even swim proof. So you really have the confidence when you're using it that it's not going to go anywhere, but it really is as simple as that. Adding hairpiece is an extension shouldn't be scary. You should have fun with it. This is a really glamorous look and I love the instant transformation.
