"Then there is this also very similar curl bounce. You can see her hair is shorter but it also has a very pretty curl formation and a bounce to it. So that determines how much product and how you style the hair. She has two bounce factors in her hair. She has a very light to one inch to one and a half inch bounce factor here. See that curl is not moving very much, to up here it is much stronger and you can see this one when you let it go it really bounces up there. So she is going to have two different types of product usage on her head and this model has a very soft fine texture of hair and she has right at a one inch bounce factor. Some of it is at a half inch. Up here it is looser and softer so she has to work a little bit harder to really force that curl in there. This model here as you can see doesn't seem like she has any curl at all she would have a half inch bounce factor and this is the model I'm going to use today because she is the hardest to get her hair curly. Those of you that have some bend in their hair and in the day if the day is very humid and as it frizzes around your face or it fuzzes up around the ends here then that tells me that you have naturally curly hair and you want to be able to utilize what you have in order to get a different style or a different look. So this is the model I'm going to demonstrate on today and you can see just getting my hands like this that it is actually getting a little curlier but this isn't going to stay if it doesn't have the right product so we are going to talk about that today."
