    After shampooing and conditioning (we recommend Nexxus Color Assure Shampoo and Nexxus Color Ensure Conditioner), apply Nexxus Mousse Plus at the crown for volume and control. Then, work in Nexxus Versastyler from the mid-length to the ends for increased stylability.

    Set hair in large rollers to create more volume. Once hair is completely dry, remove rollers then divide hair into sections and create defined curls using a curling iron. Pull hair back to one side in a pony tail then loop and pin to create a cluster of beautiful curls.
