Blonde First, we generously sprayed Bumble and bumble's Tonic all over. Next, we applied Bumble and bumble's Styling Lotion throughout the hair's roots to ends. For soft body and hold, we set the hair with a round brush blow dry set then tousled the hair. We hand styled to finish the look, and to add texture and shine, we sprayed generously with Bumble and bumble's Does it All Spray.

Red Head To start, we applied Bumble and bumble's Prep all over the hair. We then used Bumble and bumble's Thickening Hairspray from roots to ends after. To achieve loose curls, we used a 1 inch curling set and raked our hands throughout the hair. We then sprayed Bumble and bumble's Does It All Spray on a brush and blow dried to get control of the fringe. To finish the look, we brushed through the hair with a Mason Pearson brush and used Does It All Spray for shine, texture and dimension.
Brunette We used Bumble and bumble's Prep all over the hair. The hair was blow dried using Bumble and bumble's Thickening Hairspray throughout the lengths and ends. A Velcro set was used to create loose curls throughout the hair. Bumble and bumble's Sumo Wax was used to achieve polish and separation in bangs. For shine, control and definition, we used Bumble and bumble's Does it All Spray to finish.
