Alan Edwards "Renaissance" Step-By-Step

STEPS

1. 1
   

   Prepare the hair by shampooing once and then dry off. Mist hair with a thermal protection spray to protect against heat.
2. 2
   

   Mix together a strong hold styling lotion and a styling creme. Using a brush, apply to the roots like a tint root application.
3. 3
   

   Dry all the roots upwards with a comb to create structure and volume at the roots only.
4. 4
   

   Using your hands, apply the same mixture to the mid-lengths and ends.
5. 5
   

   Start approximately two inches from the root and continue through the whole head. 
6. 6
   

   Use and comb and dry the mixture through the lengths and ends.
7. 7
   

   Dry the top section, combing through with your fingers.
8. 8
   

   Working from underneath, start to brush the hair from the ends to the roots, working in two inch sections. Continue throughout the whole head.
9. 9
   

   Use a styling iron to create different curls and textures.
10. 10
    

    Create a combination of barrel curls, coils and "figure 8" movements by weaving the hair through the irons. 
11. 11
    

    Continue alternating these techniques, working in 1½-inch horizontal sections, splitting each section into ½-inch sub-sections. Spray with thermal protection spray.
12. 12
    

    Brush out some sections with a soft brush, lightly backcomb with your fingers and dress to the desired finish.
