Hair 

To create this hair style I used one and a half packets of hair extensions, my new InStyler rotating iron and my GHD

1. Wash and blow dry hair reasonably straight.

2. Apply heat protector all over hair, I use Kerastase Nectar Thermique.

3. Tease then hair stray hair in sections adding your hair extensions in appropriate parts.

4. Now your hair is prepped so part your hair where you want and begin styling your hair.  

5. I used my InStyler rotating iron to style the top section of my hair, I started at the back by gliding the roting iron from the root to the ends to create maxium volume at the roots. 

6. When styling the sides of my hair as I glide the iron down and flicking it facing away from my face so my hair frames around my face. 

7. Now that I have created volume at top and styled around my face I move on to the rest of my hair, sectioning it off in two parts. 

8. I start by curling my hair in large sections using my GHD always start from the back, throwing each finished curl behind your shoulder and a light spray and start you curls no higher than your shoulders.

9. Also remember to alternative your curls meaning curl one part facing inwards and one part facing outwards so all your curls don't bunch up together. 

10. Once I have finished one side I move on to the other side usually my left side is always a bit harder to master with the GHD. 

11. Finish off with a spray of L'Oreal Elnett Satin in Very Volume, back combing your roots and the lightly brush out your curls using a wide bristle brush. 

12. To smooth my ends I use Kerastase Exlixir K Ultime beautifying oil (must buy it! it's amazing)
