STEP TWO: Blow-dry hair using a round brush to create volume and bounce.

STEP THREE:  Create a deep side part, pulling hair on both sides very night against the head, and secure with bobby pins.

STEP FOUR: Mist remaining hair with Wella Professionals Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray, and using a 1-inch barrel iron, curl hair to give the hair shape and volume. Let cool and brush curls through.

STEP FIVE: Roll remanding hair under, tucking it at the nape of the neck to create almost a faux bob. Secure with bobby pins to keep the look in place.
