So what do you do to your hair in the morning?
Wash it, with purple shampoo.
Purple shampoo, I like that.
And then just hair straighten it, and that’s it.
You use some hair straighteners then
And that’s it.
And what about yours?
Actually I can have my hair flat so it’s really short and I’ve got a fringe so I just style it.
It takes a lot of courage for a girl to have her hair that short but it always looks really good.

LOVES HER MUSIC…
…AND HER MATES
BUT…
…CAN SHE MAKE MORE OF HER SHORT HAIR?
How’s it going? Alright?
Yes
Marvelous. Your hair: now it needs to be a bit more lively doesn’t it? A bit more texture. Do you agree?
Definitely.
Put some water on it – get it nice and wet.
DAMPEN HAIR
Now it’s wet what I want you to do is put a blob of gel in your hand. You used gel on your hair before?
No.
Really?
No, Never.
Ok, you need about the size of a hazelnut. And then you need to work that through your hands – and then rub it all the way through your hair.
WORK IN FROM ROOTS TO ENDS
We’ll use a brush and blow dry your hair – all this front bit off your face and then do the rest with your fingers and hands and a hairdryer. Easy
Yep, Easy.
TURN UP THE HEAT!
So what do you think of it so far?
Yeah, great – really good.
Yeah, it looks really great doesn’t it? The trick about this hairstyle is to keep it really flat at the sides. Any width at the sides makes it looks a bit weired. And the gel helps to create this huge height we’ve got on top here. We’re not finished yet – one more product: Go Matt Clay. You’ve ever used this?
No
Dunk your finger in – there you go. You get a matt finish with this which is perfect for blonde hair to get that nice texture. Put it in!
USE FINGERS AND HANDS TO MASSAGE CLAY INTO HAIR
How’s that?
Good. It looks really good!
Two products, five minutes: easy! She couldn’t have done it without me though…
