STEPS
Prep by washing the hair with Virtue®️ Full Shampoo & Conditioner and creating a full-bodied, bouncy blowout. Click HERE to watch Adir’s go-to blow-dry technique for building volume and style-ready texture.
Create volume and movement around the face frame by curling two sections at the hairline and pinning at the base, then allow to cool.
Then, take a 3-inch horizontal section at the nape and clip the rest of the hair away. Create a 3-strand braid and tie off with an elastic, wrap it around your fingers, roll and pin at the base—this will be the anchor for the faux bob.
Then, release the top section and curl set. Backcomb the hair at the root, apply Virtue®️ Finale Finishing Spray and create a deep side part.
