Description

Lauras' voluminous hair is showcasing her pure joy and love for life. Her hairstyle shows her true colors and no matter how old you are, you can still look as fabulous as ever for the Grammys, Galas and everything in between. Her bangs frame her face nicely and the back of her hair creates height. You will not get lost in the crowd with this hairstyle!

You are going to need to trim your hair once every 6 weeks or so to keep this hairstyle in shape. If you are going to do the highlights as well, you are going to need to touch up your color every 4 weeks or so to keep the color looking vibrant and bright.

Makeup-wise, you can do a natural-looking makeup or you can do a smokey eye with nice lashes. Do not forget to match your lipstick to the look and to highlight and contour your face. Now you will be ready for any event!

Styling Steps

1. Apply Straightening Balm

Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.

2. Blow-dry the Crown

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.

3. Blow-dry Straight Back

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.

4. Blow-dry Straight on the Sides

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.

5. Tease Hair

Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.

6. Apply Hairspray

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
