I love when I'm pitched the "return of volume" or "big hair makes a comeback". Having grown up in the South, volume was an essential piece of my beauty routine. In fact, looking back on my college experience, I remember being in awe of my classmates superior teasing skills - Southern girls don't mess around when it comes to voluminous, gorgeous hair.
Thank goodness it has finally made the return to fashion - specifically, the Chris Benz Resort 2011 show, as styled by John Ruidant, a Redken session stylist.To create the stunning look featured above:
Step 1: Apply Redken Body Full Amplifier at the hairline for texture and blow dry in the product with a mason brush.
Step 2: Split the head in half starting at the name and continuing in sections about one inch thick spraying hot sets 22 thermal setting mist on each piece before curling with a 1½ inch curling iron.
Step 3: Pin each curl to the head to set.
Step 4: Finish out the look by pulling hair back into a looped pony tail and secure ends by pinning under the nape of the neck to create the bob Step 5: Tease the hair and apply forceful 23 super strength finishing spray.
Be forewarned before trying this look at home - you'll need to set aside a full hour to achieve maximum va-va-volume.
