Tease With Ease

Sentiments from the sixties ruled the fall runways with big teased hair. Pump up the volume and take the teased look to the streets by:
Cutting layers beneath the crown of this bobbed style or slightly back-combing hair to create a lift.
Giving hair a little extra boost.
Consider a volumizing spray like Biolage Bodifying Spray Gel if your hair is straight. Applying volumizing spray to damp roots and drying them with a diffuser, for wavy or curly hair.

Lets Get Twisted

Twists make a great alternative to the French roll. Hair is sectioned, twisted and sculpted to achieve this unforgettable updo. Hold this style into place with Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine Super Spray.
