Instructions

    • 1

      Shake a small amount of baby powder onto your fingertips. Rub the baby powder into your scalp until the oil in your hair is absorbed and it looks clean.

    • 2

      Spritz some hair mousse into your palms and rub your hands together until they are coated with product. (Use hair gel if you do not have mousse.) Work the mousse into your hair by pushing your fingers in close to your scalp and shaking your fingers outward throughout your entire mane to give it texture.

    • 3

      Blow-dry your hair on a low setting, using a diffuser if you have one. Scrunch sections of hair while blow drying to give hair a wavy look. Set your finished style with a minimal hairspray mist and a quick, gentle once-over with the blow dryer.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you have time, curl a few small sections of hair for additional volume.

  • Do not use too much product or you are likely to weigh down your hair, which will minimize the volume you can achieve via scrunching.
