This look styled by KEVIN.MURPHY Session.Master David Bamford, stems from the mechanics and intricacies of venetian blinds. Its versatility makes it salon friendly or dramatic for editorial simply by changing the amount of hair you choose to sew. By leaving more hair out around the face and balancing it with the back, you can achieve a vintage look.

Step 1: Prep hair with ANTI.GRAVITY.SPRAY which provides weightless volume, heat protection and texture. | |
Step 2: Mist HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY into hair and roots to add support to style. | |

Step 5: Using one inch tong, heat the hair while holding it along the hairline, then transfer to KEVIN.MURPHY HAIR.CURLERS. | |
Step 6: Separate the section at ear into two vertical sections. Heat the hair paying special attention to the root area, as lift is needed. | |

Step 8: Release the top area, heat, then roll in to the Hair.CURLER. | |
