Would you like to know two ways in which you can control unruly fly-aways at the root after you've finished an awesome professional blow dryer?
This first technique is great for calming fly-aways and imparting shine:
Recommended for this technique:
- Redken shine flash 02 glistening mist.
- Kabuki brush or powder brush.
- Professional cutting comb.
How To Get Fly-Aways To Lay Down
- Comb through the hair one last time, getting the hair to lay as flat as possible.
- Mist your powder brush with Redken shine flash 02 making sure the bristles are coated.
- Working from base to ends, brush the hair to calm the fly-aways - this will also impart shine and luster.
- Hot Tip: This is a great technique for your naturally curly hair clients whose hair tends to expand from the humidity.
- Take a small section of the curly hair and wrap it around the index finger.
- Brush that section of hair with the misted powder brush to tame the curls and add shine.
The second technique I recommend allows you to get the hair to lay close to the scalp and will also remove fly-aways and create shine.
Recommended for this technique:
- Professional flat iron - preferred for this technique because the casing around the plates get hot.
- Long cutting comb - you will be applying heat to the comb so it must withstand high temperatures; All Sam Villa combs withstand up to 450° Fahrenheit.
How To Smooth Hair at the Roots
- Using the fine teeth of the comb, capture the hair at the base where you want it to lay flat - the teeth of the comb should be pointed down.
- Working with your flat iron in a closed position, place the iron directly over the comb and on top of the hair captured in the comb.
- With the comb in one hand and flat iron in your other hand - still resting on the comb - begin to slowly slide down the section and stretch the hair to get it to lay nice and flat.
Take your finishing from good to great with these simple techniques!
