Hair inspiration from celebrity stylist, Giannandrea Marongiu for TRESemmé:
“Chrissy’s hair was a beautiful cascade of waves tonight and was inspired by her 70’s-style dress. I used TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Touchable Bounce Mousse as well as the Beauty-Full Collection to give her big voluminous, waves to add femininity of her tuxedo dress.”
How-to:
Start with very conditioned, wet hair. “When I got to the styling bar, I have a process of taking the moisture out of the hair in segments. I used an infrared blow dryer which takes the moisture out without removing volume.”
Dry the hair about 25%, brush with paddle brush and then use the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Touchable Bounce Mousse. “The moisture helps the mousse work to its best performance.”
Spread the mousse section by section, from root to ends all the way through. “I love the TRESemmé mousse so I tend to use quite a bit.”
“It’s important that you use smaller sections at the crown to give it more volume and to comb the hair in the direction that you want it to go.”
Then dry the hair again but without a brush. Once it’s 25% more dry, use a bristle brush with large sections to dry all the way through which really amplifies the volume and seals the cuticles of the hair. “It makes it voluminous – the brush and mousse combined allows the hair to stay shiny yet voluminous. It’s very satisfying when that happens.”
“The most beautiful thing about the mousse is that it acts as a setting agent. Once you put the iron on the hair, the mousse allows the waves to be molded yet stay very elastic.”
Then create a small part. Nothing too deep on the side “because I didn’t want it to feel too retro.”
Brush back one side of hair on the right, then go in with a 1-inch curling iron on medium sections to add in the waves. “When creating the waves, you must slightly twist the hair before placing on the iron so the hair doesn’t fall flat. slight twist on the iron. Then I brushed the hair again.”
At this point, the waves should be very round, so then stretch the waves with a 1 1/4-inch flatiron to tap in between the waves (where the wave goes flat, just ‘tap tap’ in between the waves on the flat part while stretching.) “I always use infrared technology because it’s important for overall health of the hair.”
Then brush the hair again with a Mason Pearson brush.
Go in with the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Flexible Finish Hairspray. Brush hair using your hands and follow the waves gently to define them with the Flexible Finish Hairspray. Then put in long light pressure clips for about 5 minutes for a better lasting set without making any marks on the hair. “You don’t want the hair to get too stiff so it has plenty of movement.”
Lastly, walk in and out of a hairspray cloud as to not apply too much at one time.
