STEP ONE: Start with clean, wet hair and work some of AUSSIE's Curl Definition Soft Feel Serum through it using your hands. This stuff is fab because if your locks have any natural bounce to it, then this will define them without the appearance of frizz
STEP TWO: Spritz some AUSSIE 'Take The Heat' heat protection spray all over. It's handy to have this stuff nearby whenever you plan on using hot tools or hair dryers to ensure it's completely protected, avoiding dull dried out hair or split ends. Wish I'd known about the beauty of this product before my disastrous years of being 14-15 where my hair was religiously and aggressively straightened everyday (probably to distract from my brows!)
STEP THREE: Loosely dry your hair using a hair dryer, once them locks are damp take yet another fabulous AUSSIE product (notice a pattern here) 'Aussome Volume and Conditioning Mousse' and avoid the urge to squeeze mountains of foam into your hands. A small dollop is enough to work from your roots to the ends. This product smells literally better than new shoes or Starbucks. Your hair remains soft and touchable but ensures it has enough hold in it to be styled
p.s Excuse my baby face thing I've got going on here, it was at this point I realised I'd forgotten to put makeup on, but no worries I do whip out some highlight in a sec!
STEP FOUR: BOOM- that's better- moment to appreciate that strobe please n thanks. Anyway, once you've worked the mousse through your hair, pin half of it up out of the way leaving the bottom layer free to style
STEP FIVE: NOW the fun part! If you've not heard of these tools then, seriously just go out and buy one now... for real Queen. They're generally known as Rotating hot brushes, you can get them in Boots, Amazon, Debenhams (my Sales Advisor role coming in handy there). They're basically round bristle brushes, which... wait for it... SPIN and not only do they spin but they blow out hot air AT THE SAME TIME... what a time to be alive! You basically get a smallish section of hair, wrap it loosely around the brush (just at the end) then press the rotate button, you move the brush up and down the hair as it simultaneously (thank you spell check) blow dries. Continue doing this on the same section of hair for around 5-10 seconds. When you unravel the hair from the brush, do in a twisting motion if you want a curling effect.
STEP SIX: Release the next layer of hair and pin up the very top layer in this beautiful, bird nest manner which I'm sporting (so Vogue)
STEP SEVEN: Continue doing the same technique with the brush over every section of hair, release the last bit of your birds nest and do the same thing except when you get the the very top, near your parting pull the brush upwards, literally hold it above your head (I'm painting such a vivid picture here)
STEP EIGHT: Spritz some hair spray LIGHTLY (nothing worse than crunchy hair) all over and VOILA that's it! So, so quick and easy and looks effortless. Now you can safely save like a whole 12 minutes in bed in the morning and we all know how precious every second is in those moments! Hope this was helpful, until next time lovelies xx
