Rocker Chic

I have baby-fine hair.  Fortunately, I have a lot of it.  In order to do a style like this, my hair needs to have product in it from the day before to give it some heft.  This is what I started with:

I brushed through it to break up the hairspray.

I worked a dime-sized amount of Redken Rewind through my hands, then grabbed chunks of my hair, pulling it up and out.

I smoothed the bang over to the side.  I used bed Head hard Head spray to make the piecey spikes in the back.  I let it dry, then added another coat of the spray.  I also lifted the top layers and sprayed under them to create some height on top.

I finished it off with a spritz of shine spray.

Sleek Asymetric

Sometimes you just want smooth hair.  Hair that lies close to the head, but has lots of shine. That's what today was like.

I started by using one pump of Joico Color Shield serum, which I rubbed throughout the hair, concentrating on the end.  Then I blow dried it.

I made a deep side part, then I used a pea-sized amount of Redken Rewind to smooth everything down and pull the bags to the side.  I misted it with Bed Head Hard Head spray, then with Big Sexy Hair Big Shine spray.

The humidity flip

The humidity in Pennsylvania can get pretty intense, especially when rain is on the way.  My hair has an obnoxious bit of wave which I normally force out with the blow dryer, but sometimes it wins when it's moist outside.  For this look, I just decided to go with it.

I rubbed 1 pump Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum throughout, focusing on the longer bang area.  I then used a blow dryer and round brush to create some height in the crown, and to straighten the bangs.

Then I applied some Paul Mitchell Spray Wax (sprayed into my hands) to fluff it up and piece it out.  I gave it 2 coats of Bed Head Hard Head hairspray, allowing to dry between coats.  Finish was a mist of shine spray.

The New Pompadour

 I was able to get some serious loft today!

Start with the basic tapered men's cut: #2 and #3 clipper cut on sides and back.  The crown is graduated layers; 1 inch at the top down to 4 inches at the fringe.

I worked in a nickel-sized amount of Redken Aerate, then blow dried it with my head hanging upside down while I raked my fingers through it.  I finished with a 2" round brush, just to bend the ends.

Then I used a pea-sized amount of Redken Rewind to push the sides up and the top back, making sure to make it through all the layers.  Then I applies 4 coats of Bed Head Hard Head hairspray, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.  I finished with a spritz of shine spray.
