Hello, my name is Stephanie Haynes, and I'll show you how a finger to do wave-style. Now is what I show you the old-school finger wave style. A relaxer doesn't she the model, so I give her on her hair, the traditional finger-wave with gel may not gel. So, we'll do a dry finger wave to her. So is what I have done I have lured the upper part of her hair and we soothe it and we start the finger wave form. Now looks as their lure it out have combed all out, but they do not have. The form is still in it. So, we are the wave to form. Now, what we have to do is form, shape and spray and spray. Now, after they become I we need to make sure spray, that the wave always have stays in there, if you have in this way that waves do always a curling iron is hot because if you spray, you'll turn to heating so can some remain in this wave, because this is a dry finger wave.

So at this point we take the heat and go down and you can see form the shaft here. We are the next Ridge to do and what we are doing is only the upper part of her hair to go and to make sure that, if you start with the next section, you would fill it that in the previous sweeping part of the hair spray.

Bun hairstyles have been a staple in ladies’ hair fashion for centuries. Women of ancient Greece favored ornately arranged bun hairstyles, which later inspired ladies of the Renaissance and Regency era. Whether you prefer an ornate hairstyle or a simple one, buns are a versatile way to meet your fashion needs. They can be casual and messy or neat and conservative. Whip your hair into a bun for a hairstyle that goes with any look.

Wash and towel-dry your hair. Apply a nickel-size amount of straightening gel to the damp hair. Comb your hair to work the gel through it.

Blow-dry your hair in small sections, using your dryer's medium heat setting. Use a paddle brush to smooth your hair as it is drying.

Comb your hair into a loose ponytail at your crown, and secure it with an elastic band.

Wrap and twist your hair into a loose, messy bun. Tuck the loose ends of the bun under the elastic band to secure. Run your fingers through the front of your hair to loosen the hair from the elastic band, without pulling hair out of the band.

Add a headband, pushed approximately 2 inches from your hairline, to keep loose hairs out of your eyes. Place a second headband approximately 3 inches behind the first. Spray your hair lightly with aerosol hair spray to keep everything in place.

Secure the coiled bun with bobby pins at the base of the bun, closest to the elastic band. Spray the bun with hair spray and check for any loose spots. Add bobby pins to any areas that feel loose.

Tips & Warnings

Bun hairstyles work best with hair that is at least shoulder-length.

How to Make Weaves Look Real on a Bob Hairstyle

The bob is an appropriate hairstyle for children and adults.

Flag this photo

Before and during the 1980s, women often hid the fact that they wore weaves. In the 1990s, wearing a weave and being proud of it became trendy. By the new millennium the stigma of wearing a weave had died. The advancements in creating weaves opened the door for easier styling. The bob hairstyle is a popular style because it’s a classic hairstyle that can be done much quicker than some other styles, such as micro-braids. Using a weave to create a bob offers additional flexibility in bob styles. "Ebony" magazine editor, Vibe Vixen, and Duyan James, author of “Hairtalk” all advise that the most important elements to making a weave look real is not the style, but the weave itself and the maintenance of the weave.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately ChallengingInstructions Things You'll NeedStocking capHuman hair weaveCombHair oilSuggest Edits1

Choose the right hair. Match the weave hair color with the color of the person’s real hair. Choose human hair. Hair weave is color coded by number for black. Ask a sales representative to advise you on your color if your hair is black.

Prepare to spend a little bit extra money on higher quality human hair weave than synthetic hair. Get recommendations from hair dressers and friends. The better quality hair lasts longer.

Buy straight hair if you are going to braid the hair into a bob hair style. Buy wavy hair if you are not going to braid the hair into a bob.

Test the weave. Burn the end of the hair with a lighter or matches. Synthetic weaves smell like burning plastic. Wet the weave. Human hair turns to wavy when wet. Return the hair if you find that it’s mislabeled and not truly human.

Secure a strand of weave to a 1/4-inch section of your hair. Braid the weave around the hair and continue braiding to the desired length of the bob. Braid shorter strands of weave in the back of your head to keep an even length for the bob all around the head.

Braid your natural hair into cornrows for wavy bobs. Layer the weave track over the cornrows. Sew the weave track into the cornrows with a thread and needle. Cut and style the hair into a bob once the whole head is covered.

Cover up the tracks. Create thick layers of the weave to cover up the cornrows underneath the hair. For braided bobs, weave in the hair as closely to the scalp as possible to hide the weave knots.

Create a bob weave wig. Fit a stocking cap to your head. Glue the weave tracks to the stocking cap from ear to ear starting at the back of the head. Cover the entire stock cap, remembering to cut the longer hair to the right length to create the bob. The person can remove the cap and put it back on whenever they want and there will be no signs of her natural to give it away that her bob is a weave.

Dry your scalp after getting caught in the rain or taking a swim. Avoid going to sleep with your hair wet. Use a blow dryer to get underneath the cornrows.

Keep your scalp moisturized. Use a light oil that you can put into a spray bottle and spray on your hair. Separate the bob weave so that you can get to the scalp.

Protect the weave as if it were your own natural hair. Sleep with a cloth cap to keep the weave lasting longer.

Hide the new hair growth around the edges. Get your edges redone once a month to cover up the newly grown hair that may reveal to everyone you are wearing a weave.

How to Make a Low Bun Hairstyle With Flowers

A flower adds a beautiful touch to a low bun hairstyle.

Flag this photo

Low bun hairstyles can be made in a variety of ways, from a simple twisted bun to a loose and messy one. You can also do a braided bun for a little variation. The low bun hairstyle means the bun should lie at or just above the nape of the neck, making it best for medium length or long hair. While the bun is a low maintenance hairstyle, you can add a pop of color and elegance by tucking a single flower into the bun. Use a large blossom flower with a single layer of petals for the best look.

Related Searches:Difficulty:ModerateInstructions Things You'll NeedClear hair bandHair pinsHair sprayFlowerScissorsSuggest Edits1

Gather your hair together at the nape of your neck and secure in a ponytail with the clear hair band. You can center the ponytail just above your neck if you prefer.

Twist your hair around itself to form the shape of a bun. You can twist it tightly or loosely depending on the look you want. Another variation is to braid the ponytail first before twisting it into the bun. The braided bun is perfect for long hair as it is easier to pin.

Use hair pins to secure the bun. Add enough pins to be certain that the bun won't come loose. Use extra pins if you will be moving around quite a bit for added security.

Spray the bun with hair spray to hold the hair in place. Spritz lightly so your hair doesn't look stiff.

Cut a flower so the stem is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. Tuck the stem into the bun so the flower is displayed at the top or side of the bun depending on your preference. Smooth any stray hairs and you're ready to show off your new hairstyle.

Tips & Warnings

Use smaller flowers to create a wreath around the bun for a special occasion hair style.

Flag this photo

Sleepovers and slumber parties are a right of passage for teens and involve crazy antics, fun games and late nights. To keep themselves occupied until the wee hours, creativity often comes into play. Doing makeup and hair can be a fun way to pass the time. If hair is a focus, teens can try one of a few different hair games that combine wild styling with color and glamor.

How to Do Your Own Vintage Hairstyle

Add a few rollers to your hair to create a modern twist on the vintage hairstyle.

Flag this photo

While the retro 1940s and 1960s movie stars had a team of beauty pros on call to expertly coif their strands--there’s no need to feel unglamorous. If you're a pro hairstylist or a beauty guru in training, you can emulate these deniably stylish and beautiful hairstyles at home. Whether you are looking to add a little va-va-voom to your chin-length bob or add long waves like Veronica Lake's to your shoulder-length hair, take your hair from blah to beautiful with a few goof-proof retro hairstyling tips.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedVolumizing shampooLarge towelStyling mousse or foamBlow-dryerRound brushMedium size Velcro, plastic or hot rollersFlat-bristle brushHairsprayMedium-size curling ironHair spraySuggest Edits1

Shampoo hair with a volumizing product formulated for your hair type. A volumizing shampoo will not only cleanse hair but add extra body to your damp strands.

Dry hair with a large towel; gently dry hair without wringing it. Apply a dollop of styling foam or mousse to the palm of your hands. Rake the product from roots to ends using your fingertips.

Blow-dry hair straight using a round brush. Separate 3- to 4-inch sections of hair to dry. Apply heat from a blow-dryer to your hair as you pull the round brush under each section to dry. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.

Set hair with medium-sized rollers. Starting at the forehead, roll a 2-inch section of hair back on the rollers. Spritz rolled hair with hair spray to set the curls. Allow the plastic or Velcro rollers to remain in your hair for a minimum of 20 minutes or until your hair is cool to the touch.

Remove rollers to release your curls. To create a retro wave around the face, spray a flat-bristle brush with hairspray. Brush the hair down using a downward zigzag motion to create waves. To create waves like Marilyn Monroe or Lena Horne had, the experts at InStyle magazine suggest you, “brush out and push one side of waves to the face and the other side away from the face.”

Curl the ends of your hair under to complete the style, using a medium-size curling iron. Spritz hair with long-hold hairspray to complete the look.

Tips & Warnings

To speed up the hair curling process, roll hair with medium-size hot rollers to create lush curls fast.

If your hair doesn’t get the retro waves after rolling hair with curlers, pin curl your hair using a 3-inch section of hair and large hairpins. Let the hairpins remain in your hair for 20 minutes to achieve your wonderfully wavy vintage hairstyle.

How to Do the Hairstyle Called a Messy Bun

Adding a headband to your messy bun keeps the hair off your face.

Flag this photo

Whether you're going to the gym or out with your friends, the messy bun is a classic, default hairstyle that combines edgy with chic. The hairstyle referred to as a messy bun sits on the crown of the head and has several, seemingly chaotic pieces of hair sprouting from the hair elastic. Just like a ponytail, your styling technique and product use determines whether your messy bun appears impromptu and casual or trendy but elegant.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedFlexible hair sprayNon-rubber hair elasticWide-toothed combSuggest Edits1

Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb to remove any tangles or snarls. Even for an intentionally messy bun, detangling is important.

Flip your head upside-down and gather your hair as though you were making a ponytail. Leave a few small wisps free around your ears and neck nape for a natural look, but hold the rest of your hair at the crown of your skull.

Flip your head back up and wrap a non-rubber hair elastic around your hair one time and pull the hair through completely, as though you were making a high ponytail.

Twist the elastic for a second loop, but only pull the hair through half-way before releasing the elastic. Your bun should resemble a tear-drop shape with several pieces of hair sticking out from the bottom beneath the elastic.

Twist the loose ends beneath the elastic toward the top to increase the messiness of your messy bun.

Spray a few shots of hairspray over the entire style to prevent loosening additional wisps.

Tips & Warnings

Wear an elastic headband if you're heading to the gym or a decorative headband for a formal event.

For special occasions, curl your hair with an iron before flipping your head over and beginning your messy bun.

Blow dry your hair and finger-comb styling mouse through your tresses before flipping your head over for a stringy-edgy look.

How to Do a Quick Side Bang Hairstyle

Side bangs make for a romantic look.

Flag this photo

Side bangs are a flattering, feminine look that are especially complimentary on people with wavy hair or heart-shaped faces. If you already have bangs, all you'll need to do to achieve this low-maintenance style is blow dry your bangs the right way and add some hairspray to make it last.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedCombRound hair brushBlow dryerHairspraySuggest Edits1

Start with clean, wet hair, or use a spray bottle to moisten your bangs.

Use a comb to part your hair on one side of your head; it's best to work with the side you most frequently part your hair on, assuming you don't normally part your hair down the middle of your head.

Brush the bangs down against your forehead.

Turn on your blow dryer on a low heat setting, and begin to dry your bangs.

Pull hair over your round brush, and heat your bangs with the dryer almost directly over your bangs; you should be pulling your bangs toward the opposite side of your head from the hair part. This will add volume and shape to your side bangs.

Continue pulling your hair over your round brush while user your hairdryer until your bangs are dry.

Fluff your dry side bangs with your fingers and apply some hairspray to your bangs. This will ensure they stay fabulous for as long as possible.

A Front Top Cowlick Hairstyle

Print this articleCowlick is an area of hair that fails to grow in the same direction as the rest of the hair. With a cowlick hairstyle, your hair sticks out, or lies to the side, so that it is not flat like the rest of your hair. This can be a bother since you can find it a challenge to style. There are some corrective methods or styles you can use.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions 1

Calm your cowlick bangs. Grow your cowlicks long enough to give them weight. Wash your hair with shampoo to remove any chemicals or dirt it may have. Dry it with a brush, beginning with the cowlicks at your forehead. Apply pastes, pomades or hairspray to direct your hair. Stroke the brush in one direction five to 10 times with a round brush or a vent to weight down the frontal cowlicks. Switch and brush the hair in the opposite direction.

Level your cowlicks. Cut your frontal hair, leaving a spot where the cowlick is a little longer. Wash it with shampoo and dry it with a blow dryer. Your hair will bounce back once it is dry. Direct the hair in the opposite direction of the way the cowlick grows out using a round brush. Blow dry your hair in that direction at close range. Spray your hair with hair spray to make it stay.

Straighten your frontal hair. Level your hair with a hair straightener in the direction you want it to go. Apply a heat spray or conditioning spray to your hair to prevent it from being damaged by the heat of the straightener. Repeat this for five or seven days to completely tame your cowlicks to go in the direction of the rest of your hair.

Style your hair with hot rollers. Wash your hair with shampoo. Pick a section of the cowlick with your fingers and comb it smooth. Spray it with hairspray. Twist the section and wrap it on the roller to give it a spiral look. Take out the rollers once they have cooled and spray your hair with a hairspray. Turn your head upside down and run your fingers through your hair.

Turn your cowlick under. Wash your hair with shampoo. Dry your hair almost to 70 percent using a blow dryer. Finish drying your hair using a rounded vent brush or round brush. Spray the ends of your frontal hair with hairspray while the brush is in a turned under position in your cowlicks. Aim the blow dryer at your cowlicks for about 15 seconds. Allow your hair to cool for about five to 10 seconds and then remove the brush.

Thin out the cowlick. Comb the cowlicks in different directions to determine the way they should go. Snip off some of the hair using a thinning shear to decrease the bulk of the cowlick closer to the scalp. Avoid texturizing or thinning out the cowlick too much since you have to keep it heavy to easily lay down. Blend it in with the rest of the hair by feathering it out using the shears.

Cut the cowlicks shorter than the rest of your hair. Wash it with warm water and then dry it with a towel or a blow dryer. Apply hair gel, pastes, pomades or hairspray to direct your hair.

How to Make a Remy Straight Goddess Hair Into a Curly Wavy Hairstyle

Hair rollers can help your create a curly, wavy hairstyle.

Flag this photo

Whether you want an entire wig, a weave or partial hair extensions, Remy hair is often the preferred choice of hair. The hair is of high quality and 100 percent human hair. When purchasing the hair, you can choose from various styles ranging from wavy and straight to curly. If you choose the straight Remy hair, you can curl it to create a wavy hairstyle. However, because you are dealing with natural human hair, you must take care not to damage the hair, because this will shorten the life of your extensions.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedCurling ironCombHeat protecting spraySuggest Edits1

Plug in your curling iron. Aim to use the lowest heat setting possible. Start with a medium-warm setting and see if the curl holds. If not, turn up the heat.

Comb your hair in the style you desire to create. This way you only have to curl the hair, and won't have to brush or comb through it, to style it.

Spray a heat protecting spray over your hair. The spray shields your Remy strands from the damaging heat of the curling iron.

Section off a piece of hair that easily fits over the width of the curling iron barrel. Comb through the sectioned off hair with a fine-tooth comb.

Squeeze to open the curling iron clamp. Roll the tip of your Remy hair around the barrel. Release the clamp so it holds the hair in place. Roll the curling iron toward the scalp. Hold it here for 10 seconds before opening the clamp and releasing the hair. Curl all your hair in this fashion.

Comb through your hair with your fingers to loosen the curls and create waves.

Tips & Warnings

Use a curling iron with a large barrel for loose waves and a curling iron with a small barrel for many small waves.

Use minimal styling products on your Remy extensions, because product buildup may dull your strands.

How to Style a Preppie Bob Hairstyle

Print this articleThe preppy fashion trend is marked by a neat and polished look. Girls who want to sport a preppy appearance tend to have a natural look without lots of jewelry, high heels or makeup. The style has roots that trace to the days of private university preparatory schools in New England, according to Beauty Hill. It first gained mainstream popularity in the 1950s. The look has evolved into a classic style that never falls completely out of fashion. Another component to the preppy fashion is the proper hairstyle. Sleek, straight hairstyles are most commonly associated with the preppy trend and the classic bob haircut can be transformed to fit the look in a matter of minutes.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedBlow-dryerFlat ironRound brushFine-tooth combHair cream or serumRibbon or headband (optional)Suggest Edits1

Wash and condition your hair. Towel-dry it. Separate the hair into sections and partially blow-dry it. For extra volume at the roots, bend over and flip your hair over your head while drying.

Add a dime-sized amount of smoothing hair cream or serum to your damp hair. Work the product in with your hands so that it is evenly distributed.

Flip the ends of the hair inside or outside as you finish drying it, using a round brush. Ensure that the hair lies flat.

Divide the hair into sections. Smooth it with a flat iron to get a super-sleek, polished look. Keep the iron moving through your hair so the edges do not burn.

Part the hair in the center or slightly to one side, using a fine-tooth comb. Ensure the part is straight from front to back, without zigzags.

Finish the look by adding a simple headband or ribbon to pull your hair away from your face. You can also experiment with other girly hair accessories such as barrettes, decorative bobby pins or bows.

How to Find a Wedding Hairstyle for a Diamond-Shaped Face

Side-part straight bangs lend symmetry and elegance to diamond-shape faced brides.

Flag this photo

If you have a diamond-shaped face, your choices for wedding hairstyles are endless. Women with this angular face have wide cheekbones with a small chin and narrow forehead. You should opt for hairstyles that reduce the overall length of your face and cheekbones, while balancing your other facial features. Additionally, your wedding hairstyle should harmonize with your hair length and your choice of bridal attire.

Related Searches:Difficulty:ModerateInstructions Things You'll NeedHairpinFlowersPearl comb or flower barretteWigSuggest Edits1

Opt for a rounded and layered bob hairstyle that reaches your chin, if you have short hair. Choose side-part straight bangs to reduce the overall length of your diamond-shaped face and give it a symmetrical look. This hairstyle compliments an elegant, simple-cut wedding gown.

Style shoulder-length hair into a wispy cut with side bangs in front. This hairstyle works well with all hair textures. It makes the forehead and chin area appear proportional, while the wisps around the shoulders contribute to an appealing, square look. The wispy look blends well with a country-style wedding gown, such as a high-waist wedding frock or period-influenced gown. Use a hairpin to attach a few small flowers to your hair, to add a touch of class and vibrancy.

Create layered bangs with long hair and tuck the hair on the sides behind the ears. This style drapes the shoulders and suits wavy- and curly-haired brides, too. It accentuates the cheekbones and makes the narrow areas of the face look wider. If you have wavy or curly hair, you can attach a headpiece on the side of your hair. Choose a headpiece that complements your wedding gown, such as a pearl comb or flower barrette.

Use soft waves or loose curls to style long hair. This style will give you a demure, bridal look and reduce the wide appearance of your cheeks.

Style your hair into an updo for a dramatic look. You can use a wig or extensions if you want to add extra length. Braid the hair at the back in styles of your choice. Ensure that the hair covers your neck area when styled to prevent your face from looking too wide. Updos work well with ball-style wedding gowns.

Tips & Warnings

Avoid hairstyles that lend height to your head, such as the spiky look. Such hairstyles will make your face look longer that it actually is.

40s Bun Hairstyle

1940s updos featured curls.

Flag this photo

Women's hairstyles of the 1940s featured structured curls or waves and pinned updos. To create an authentic 1940s style, stay away from a tight ballerina bun, instead gathering your hair into a loose bun called a chignon. In the front, pin curls or marcel waves will give your hairdo 1940s panache. A cascade of pin curls over the forehead is a good choice for short or layered hair, while tidy marcel waves work well in long hair.

Related Searches:Difficulty:ModerateInstructions Things You'll NeedHairbrushWide-toothed combHairsprayFirm-set gel or mousseSetting or styling lotionSpray bottle filled with waterBobby pinsHair clipsHair elastic or ponytail holderHand mirrorSuggest EditsPin Curls1

Create pin curls in the front if you have short or layered hair. Comb damp hair until it's smooth and spray it with setting lotion.

Take a small section of hair and coil it completely around your finger. Lay the curl flat against your head and pin it into place with a bobby pin. For tight curls, make small coils of hair. Larger coils of hair will create looser curls.

Repeat with all the hair on the front top of your head. Blow-dry the curls on high heat and low air until completely dry, or cover your hair with a scarf and leave the pin curls in place overnight.

Remove the bobby pins. For tight, distinct curls, do not comb out your hair. For looser curls, comb very gently, taking care not to comb the curls out. Spritz with hairspray.

Marcel Waves1

Make marcel waves if you have long hair. Spray the front of your hair with water until slightly damp, and apply gel, mousse or setting lotion. Gently comb hair and create a side part

Form hair into a C-shaped wave on one side of the head. Secure the wave into place with a hair clip. Place the hair clip at the inner edge of the wave.

Make another wave, this time facing in the opposite direction, just below the first to create an S shape. Secure the wave with a hair clip. Make a third wave below the second, if you have room.

Repeat on the other side of the part, creating two or three waves. Leave the hair clips in place until the hair is completely dry and the waves are set. Remove the clips and mist the waves with hairspray for extra staying power.

Chignon1

Pull your hair to the center back of your head into a ponytail. Work carefully to avoid disturbing your marcel waves or pin curls in the front. Secure the ponytail with a hair elastic.

Divide the ponytail into two sections of hair, an upper and a lower.

Loop the top section of hair up and over, until the ends of your hair are touching the base of the ponytail. Secure the roll of hair with two or more bobby pins. If your hair is very long, roll the hair over on itself to create a manageable loop of hair.

Loop the bottom section of hair down and under, securing the loop to the bottom base of the ponytail with bobby pins.

Pull and adjust the top loop of hair until it extends across the back of your head, using a hand mirror to guide your work. The loop will touch your head on each side of the ponytail. Using bobby pins, pin the edges of the hair to the sides of your head until it stays in place. Repeat with the bottom loop of hair. Adjust the chignon until it looks right, adding bobby pins to shape it as necessary. Mist the chignon with hairspray.

Tips & Warnings

Adorn your bun with vintage hairpins, flowers or small bows for extra 1940s flair.

Protect your hairdo from the elements with a vintage silk hair scarf tied under the chin or at the nape of the neck.

What Kind of Hairstyle Helps a Cowlick in the Crown?

Cowlicks occur when areas of hair grow in a specific direction -- often against the flow of all the other hair.

Flag this photo

Choosing a hairstyle is difficult enough: everyone has a different face shape, personality and hair type, so picking the right style is a challenge. But when you add a cowlick into the mix, this challenge can be amplified, as now you've got to cater to a stubborn patch of hair that might not easily comply with your desired style. However, there are many styles you can choose from to tame your indignant locks and come out looking great.

Related Searches:Difficulty:EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedMirrorCombHair sprayHair gelSuggest Edits1

Determine what kind of cowlick you have. Cowlicks typically grow in a specific direction that is against the flow of the rest of the hair, or they sometimes grow in a circular swirl pattern.

Decide your preferred length. Cowlicks, especially those on the crown, are most easily conquered by either by short buzz cuts or long strands to add weight.

Cut your hair to the desired length. If it's a buzz cut, your cowlick should be defeated. If you've opted for a longer route, evaluate how much of the cowlick is still presenting a problem.

Tease your hair just slightly at the roots of the crown to add volume. Then spray with a light mist of hair spray. This will help disguise the cowlick. Or, if you'd prefer, apply hair gel or paste to the problem area to help weigh down the stray strands.

How to Make a Male Rockabilly Hairstyle

Use pomade to achieve the sleek, rockabilly hairstyle of Chris Isaak.

The rockabilly hairstyle has been the coif of choice for some icons of men's fashion. Elvis Presley, James Dean and Chris Isaak are all known for wearing their hair in this arrangement, and the style returns to the heights of fashion cyclically. The hairstyle is sleek and tight on the sides, with full or outright loose and curly hair across the top, center of the head. Though it is not a quick or low-maintenance style, its execution is uncomplicated nonetheless.

Wash your hair according to your typical routine. Towel dry your hair thoroughly. Then comb through it to remove any tangles.

Comb the hair on the sides of your head toward the back. Run your fingers lightly through the hair on top of your head to rumple it. Allow it to dry halfway with its natural texture -- for about 5 to 10 minutes -- if initial combing in Step 1 sleeked the hair back.

Rub your fingertips through a tin of pomade. Run your fingers through the sides of your hair, from your sideburns to the back of your head. Then comb the product through your hair, from your sideburns back.

Dab your fingertips on one hand, lightly, into the pomade. Run your fingers from the prominent ridge at the back of your head down through your hair. Comb down through the same hair.

Leave residual, trace amounts of pomade on your fingers. Pull the hair on the top of your head gently forward toward your face, to increase the hair's volume.

Wrap small sections of hair around your finger to encourage curls, if desired. The residual pomade on your fingers helps set the hair without weighing it down. Pull the hair upward with your fingertips to increase the volume.

Graze the top surface of the fluffed hair with the comb. Shape the hair without deflating it. Comb backward lightly to smooth the arrangement.

Tips & Warnings

Experiment with the top section of your hairstyle to find the volumizing and smoothing actions that best suit your desired arrangement. Some men prefer a curly Buddy Holly style arrangement, which does not require any combing on top. Other men prefer a sleek but full Elvis Presley style arrangement, which requires gentle combing. A slightly unkempt, windblown arrangement -- like James Dean's -- may be a fingers-only style for you, depending on your hair type.
