Ideal For: All textures of hair, neck to shoulder length

You’ll Need: Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Hairspray - Fave Teasing Brush - Bobby Pins - 1 – 1.5” Curling Iron or Wand

Step 1: Start by spraying Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Hairspray all over hair for grip while styling. Then section into 2 parts - top half & bottom half.

Step 3: Next, flip top part back and curl using a 1-1.5” curling iron or wand. As you curl spray each piece with Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Hairspray and tease at the root with the Fave Teasing Brush to create incredible texture and volume.

Step 4: Finish by pulling the curls out with your fingers and place them over the bun molding the shape. Pin to secure.

HALO BRAID

This braid is a nice alternative to a normal french braid. It creates a lovely look that works on adults and kids. 

Step 1: Spray roots with Dirty to Flirty Dry Shampoo and let it absorb for up to 5 minutes. Then spray all over with Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Hairspray to create grip for the braid. 

Step 2: Create a deep part on whichever side you feel more comfortable with. The deeper the part the better. The goal is to create a halo dutch braid that spans your entire head.

Step 3: Once you've completed the braid spray more Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Hairspray

Step 4: Take the remaining hair hanging and twist and pin into a chignon. Finish with one more layer of Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Hairspray .

TWISTED CROWN PONYTAIL

Hair by: @blohaute

The twist is a nice departure from a regular braid and adds a unique dimension to this ponytail. You'll need Workable Wear Shaping Hairspray to prep hair to hold the twist.  Instead of using three pieces of hair (like you would for a braid) only use two to create the twist. Finish by spraying the pony with Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Hairspray

BIG, BOLD CHIGNON

Hair by: @blohaute

We like BIG buns and we cannot lie! This style brings elegance and style to any occasion.

PREP: Spray all over with Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Texturizing Hairspray.

Step 1:  Start by tying hair back into a low ponytail, leaving the hair in front of the ears out on each side.

Step 2:  Using hair pins- begin to tuck ponytail under about halfway down in sections create a full half bun.

Step 3: Once all hair is tucked, grab one side of the hair left out and twist inward all the way until you can secure with a pin near the elastic.

Step 4: Repeat this step on the opposite side.

Step 5: Finish off with Flex Reflect Lightweight Glossing Hairspray to ensure this style holds all day long!

SPACE BUNS (Great for Kids too) 

Hair by: @grandslamglam

Space Buns are perfect for oily roots and dry ends. A great day to night hair fix, especially when you need fancy in a flash! 

Step1: Start by prepping roots with Dirty to Flirty Dry Shampoo to absorb oil and refresh hair.  Spray in, wait 30 seconds, then brush through.

Step 2: Then create two high pigtails using the front half of your hair to around your mid crown area and secure with elastics.

Step 3: Next spray Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Texturizing Hairspray throughout each pigtail and back comb, with the Fave Teasing Brush to add texture & grip.

Step 4: Then twist each pigtail loosely, then spiral around into a bun and secure with bobby pins. For a more textured look, if you have thick hair, loosely braid each ponytail and wrap to create each bun!

Step 5: Next spritz your remaining hair left down with Dearly Detangled Silicone-free Leave-In Conditioner to re-hydrate dry ends.

Step 6: To make the style more fun, loosely curl pieces then shake them out while spraying Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Texturizing Hairspray all over.
