Tools:
Choosing Products
A volumizing mousse; a large round brush; a heat protectant spray; a flexible-hold hairspray.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
At home, use a large round brush and a blow dryer to create the big, bouncy, feathered waves.
The bangs should be styled up and away from the face for that classic look.
