French Twist Headband Braid
Dress up long hair styles with Simply Smooth’s Keratin Reparative Magic Potion Intense Blowout, and top it off with a modern, French twist headband braid.
Bouncy Beach Hair
Humidity can wreak havoc on natural texture, says INOAR World Ambassador Edward Teitel, who follows a ritual whenever he styles beach-wave hair at the INOAR Academy in Miami or San Paulo, or at photo shoots.
Smooth Away
Smoothing a client’s hair with BioIonic’s Agave Smoothing Treatment typically takes just over an hour from start to finish, depending on the hair’s length and texture.
Sophisticated Fluff
The contrast of finger waves in the front and airy texture on top and in the back creates a retro, sexy look for your shorthair clients. Rusk’s Being Sexy line gives your artistry wings.
Curl Enchantment
Give your clients glamorous curls that are refined, soft and touchable.
Sleek Bombshell
For shorter cuts like pixies and bobs, incorporate texture by pumping up the volume and adding separation and detail for a textured look.
Rake & Shake
To know curls is to love curls. That is the philosophy behind Ouidad’s trademarked styling technique, Rake & Shake.
