STEP 2: Spray Blowpro’s Time to Shine throughout the hair.
STEP 3: Wrap 1/4-inch sections of hair around index finger and middle finger, following the same direction as if it was curled. Once all hair is rolled, pin it with a duck bill clip.

If your clients are looking to bring their hair to new heights, these five hair raising steps combined with Blowpro’s cocktail of products will leave them with intense body and volume.
STEP 1: Apply a heat protection spray all over hair. Gently comb out hair. To build volume and bounce (pointing can down, not at an angle) apply a golf ball size amount of Body By Blow No Crunch Volumizing Mousse into hands and distribute through mid-shaft and ends of hair.
STEP 2: For long lasting, gravity defying lift and height, divide hair into sections and spray a root lifter into the roots of each section and massage into hair.
STEP 3: Blow dry in sections with a round brush making sure to lift upward with the brush as you blow dry. The tension and heat will create volume. Pin curl each dry section as you go for added volume.
STEP 4: Remove pin curls and massage roots to break up your sections. Lock in volume all day by applying a finishing spray all over hair.
