STEP 1: Apply formula from scalp to ends and process 20 minutes, then cleanse and condition with Matrix Total Results Amplify shampoo and conditioner.

STEP 2: Apply Matrix Amplify Foam Volumizer throughout hair and comb through. Section front two sides of the crown area and divide the back into two at the center and clip for control.

STEP 3: Blow-dry the front and back two sections with a large round brush.

STEP 4: For the crown, blow dry and wrap around large Velcro rollers and secure. Spray Matrix Amplify Hairspray generously and allow to cool (this particular model sat for 2 hours while other models were shooting).


STEP 5: Brush hair into place with a paddle brush to loosen curls, then pull out pieces around the face and emboss with micro-crimping iron for added texture.
