HOW-TO: Glam Hollywood Waves with The Curl Bar

  1. Create three sections: back and two sides.

  2. Beginning in the back section, take a 1-inch section and spray with Kenra Volume Spray 25.

  3. Set Hot Tools Curl Bar to 430 degrees F—you will not leave the iron on the hair very long. Holding Curl Bar vertically, wrap hair around, twisting as you wrap. Hold for five seconds, then unwrap hair from iron.

  4. Repeat on whole head, moving from section to section.

  5. Let hair cool completely.

  6. Mist hair with Kenra 13 Perfect Medium Spray for hold. Lightly brush through hair, pushing curls up if you want more defined ridges.

  7. Finish with Lakme K.Style Polish Smooth & Shine Sheen Spray.
