I am going to do a tutorial for a cute little spunky, kind of retro, rock hairstyle. And
this works on short hair, you don’t have to have hair as short as mine, but if you
have short bangs you can pretty much make your own variation of it. T start out with
you will want a curling iron or a flat iron, whatever you use to curl your hair. And then
I just have a few products, I am using Spoil Me, it’s like a defrizzer and smoother,
and then a spray wax, and then my favorite hair spray, which is hard Head by Bed Head.
This hairstyle works best on my hair when its several days dirty because I feel like
when my hair is clean it just falls flat and doesn’t last very long. So that’s what
the spoil me is for just to kind of smooth out my really dry, dirty, and over-producted
hair. So I am going to spray my ends, and this is just so that my hair will hold a curl
better. You can brush it in or finger it in, whichever, it doesn’t matter. And then I
am going to use a little banana clip to both part my hair and to start curling it. And
since we’re going for the retro look, I am going to do a really dramatic part. It
doesn’t have to be perfect, I am going to try to hide my feathers. I’m going to start
at the front so part a section and clip the rest back. Then for this part I’m going
to over direct my hair backwards, and you can comb it since mine is really dirty. Then
I am going to take the flat iron, or you can use a curling iron, and curl the hair in the
direction going backwards, away from my face. So again, just doing basically a barrel curl,
away from my face. And then just repeat that along your hairline. You’re basically going
to do that all the way back. This whole Mohawk section. You can bobby pin it if you want,
out of the way. I’m just doing a little pin curl to set the hair while I curl the
rest of it. Then for this back section I am going to curl the hair towards my face. So
I am still doing a barrel curl, just pulling the ends towards my face, like this. Then
for the back and sides, I just do barrel curls but I have them all directed in the same direction,
kind of like a mock finger wave, and they don’t need to be perfect ,cause we are going
to pin them back. So after you have curled everything, and keep in mind I cannot see
the back of my head, this is just like an overview. So you take the clips out if you
are using them to hold your curls, and then you are going to add some spray wax and then
your hairspray, and the spray wax is very pliable, so when you add the hairspray it
basically just increases the hold and builds on texture. So you are going to spray the
spray wax on the ends, to help hold the curl. And remember this is 3rd to 4th day hair so
your hair should already probably be dirty, so why not just make it even dirtier and pile
on the product? Now I am going to take the hairspray and spray in my roots and build
some volume. Now I need to let the hairspray dry a little bit. Then I am going to do a
little bit of backcombing, and I am going to use the wider comb for this because I don’t
want it to be like a rats nest I just want it to have more volume. Wow, if you could
feel my hair right now you would be disgusted, in a good way. So then I just basically mess
with it with my comb and fingers until I get it just the right way. Now I have a nice little
funky finger wave going on here. I am going to add some hairspray to hold it. More product!
If you do have longer bangs, you can use a bobby pin to hold it. Basically what I would
do is take the ends and hide the bottom pin in this massive wave of hair. So for the sides,
you can do a little finger wave, like this. And spray it. Or on the other side, you can
do some little twists. And to put my bobby pin in, I do it flat on my head like this.
And it will hold nice and tight and disappear under your hair. So you have two options,
you have a finger wave option here, or the pin up look over here. And of course, more
product, I always finish it off with more hairspray. Anyways, hopefully you guys try
this and hopefully it works out for you. If it doesn’t work the first time, practice,
I have been doing this for ten plus years, I have a lot of experience. But send me your
feedback if you like it, thanks for watching.
