How to ask your stylist for this style

Ask for "bouncy, glamorous, bombshell waves." For color, ask for a "high-shine, single process, 'liquid' black." This may involve a separate glossing service.

Tools:
Choosing Products

A high-shine shampoo and conditioner; a professional gloss treatment (salon); hot rollers or large curling iron.

Step by step instructions to achieve style at home

At home, use hot rollers or a 1.5-inch curling iron.
Pin each curl to cool to maximize longevity.
Use a high-shine serum as a finishing touch for that "liquid" look.

Caring for your hair

This is a "set style" for an occasion that takes time to create.

The liquid black color is low maintenance but needs a gloss treatment every 2-3 months for the shine.

Frequently asked questions

Dislacimer

How is "liquid black" different from regular black?

"Liquid Black" is all about the finish. It refers to a black color that has been treated with a high-shine gloss, giving it an ultra-reflective, almost mirror-like surface.
