HOW-TO

Step 1: On cleansed, towel-dried hair, spray FHI Heat’s Stylus High Altitude Root Lift Spray evenly across the head to deliver lift and volume.

Step 2: Using FHI Heat’s Innovator Pro Power Speed Dryer, and a small round brush, lift and bend the hair from the root.

Step 3: Use an FHI Heat Platform Plus Curve 1” Flat Iron on the fringe area of hair to piece and spike it out, while still maintaining the root lift achieved from the dryer and round brush. 

Step 4: Apply a small dab of FHI Heat Stylus Total Control Hairstyling Gel between fingers, and manipulate crown hair spiked pieces for definition and separation.
