A style that keeps up with your next move – whatever that may be.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Apply a medium-sized amount of Nexxus MAXIFY Foam Styler to damp hair. Then, using a round brush and blow dryer with a directional nozzle, blow out 2-inch sections of hair until smooth. Wrap each one in a self-grip roller. Remove after about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Section off the front and sides of hair from ear to ear and clip to the top of your head to be styled in Step four. Then, take a large section of hair at the crown, tease it to its fullest and roll into a rough bun. Pin into place.
Step 3
Unclip front and side sections of hair and divide them into several smaller sections. Tease each one with a wide-tooth comb.
Step 4
Using a natural bristle brush, smooth out each teased front section and pull it back and over the bun. Pin into place. Repeat until the bun is completely covered with smoothed front sections. Using a brush, smooth the rest of your hair over one shoulder. Lightly mist all over with Nexxus MAXXIMUM Hairspray to control frizz and add a glossy sheen.
