Katherine’s hair – a How To!
If you can’t see the video clip above, click here
I thought that I would include a how-to for Katherine’s hair in Popstar to Opera Star, Week 3, just because I had some hairstylists mention that they liked the last one and found it useful. If you go to the end of the youtube clip you’ll see Katherine on the judging panel.
1) Blow-dry with a large, real-bristle brush; I use Acca Kappa (you can get them from Amazon). Apply a volumising product to the roots and a cream or leave-in conditioner on the ends. This will give tons of body but also keep the ends nice and smooth.
2) When you blow-dry, take sections from the nape of the neck and work upwards towards the crown of the head. Smooth the hair by pointing the nozzle down the hair shaft and blast the underside of the brush at the roots to get maximum lift. After each section is dry, pin up with a long sectioning clip. This part is essential as it “sets” in the volume.
3) Separate the top section from the recession line, or take from directly above the corner of the eyebrows and make two partings that reach just above the crown of the head. Back-comb this section lightly at the roots and then carefully smooth the section from the front. Pin just under the crown.
4) Working from the nape of the neck, softly tease and back-comb the hair, section by section, and then brush through with a Mason and Pearson brush.
5) Use the tail end of a tail comb to lift the top to the desired height and mist with hairspray to give a soft shine and hold. I then take a tiny piece from the edge of each side of the top section and wrap one over the other to make the crown pretty!
6) This can be as big or smooth as you wish. I always send my clients home with a tail comb and a handbag-size hairspray and teach them how to comb this through and spray it .
7) I hope you like!
