I created the hair for the campaign this season, we wanted the look to be strong but playful so i decided on a low side parting the hair going over the face into a soft wave.

Get The Look

Products used: I prepped Kirstie's hair with tecni art pli, blow dried the hair upside down using ghd Air. For thickness i used a set of extensions by beauty works cut them to the same length as the models own hair. I wasn't adding any length it was all just to enhance Kirstie's natural hair and add a little bit of colour. The waving process i chosen to used ghd Curve in the classic tong this is a 26 mm barrel. Starting at the left hand side tonging back away from the face, i then allowed the curl to cool off and set the fringe area in a big barrel curl while the make up was applied. 

Dress it out: Once the hair was set i brushed the movement out into a uniformed wave using a wide tooth comb. This is my favourite tool for dressing curls out, i prefer it to a soft bristle brush but what ever works for you? Adding lift to the crown i sprinkled some tecniart texture dust to the roots and slightly backcombed the top area. All hair was moved to the left hand side and to finish off i sprayed with Air Fix hairspray.
