ENHANCING NATURAL TEXTURE
Sometimes all you need to do is give gorgeous curls a little zhuzh. Here, Michelle Sultan for BaByliss PRO shows you how
THE KIT
BaByliss PRO Titanium Expression 10mm Ultra-Slim Wand
BaByliss PRO Titanium Expression 13mm Curling Tong
THE STEPS
1: Start by prepping the hair -make sure you’re working with clean, dry hair and apply a heat protection spray.
2: Use a wide toothed comb to separate and define some of the curls, and determine the areas you’re going to want to enhance.
3: Set your curling wand or tong to a temperature of 180° -curly hair can be very fine and fragile and doesn’t require too much heat to set it.
4: Using a wand with a thin barrel-I used the BaByliss PRO Titanium Expression 10mm Ultra-Slim Wand -go through the hair and choose the sections you want to add more curl to.Wrap the hair fully around the barrel and release between around five to eight seconds.
5: My trick here is to alternate between the size of tool I’m using, switching between a 10mm and 13mm barrels will give you a variety of different size curls and an overall multi-dimensional look.
6: Run your fingers through the curls to break them up gently and create a more relaxed appearance. Use a light hairspray to set the curls, and if preferred you can use a drop of hair oil to reduce any remaining frizz. My top tip is to shake out the curls upside down to maximise volume but keep curl definition.
