Keeping with the vintage 40s look, but with her own artistic flair, Ryan started the updo with damp hair. She applied styling cream all over and then took a large Mohawk section on top of Jessica’s head all the way back to the occipital bone. She roller set this section on large rollers and then smoothed the rest of the hair to the side and formed a ponytail. Ryan flower-pieced sections within the ponytail onto one-inch rollers and then sat Jessica under a hood dryer.

A great solution for longer lengths, this cut offers lots of layering to provide fullness and texture all over.

Apply mousse at the root for lift and then styling spray all over for added texture and control. Use a large round brush while blow-drying, pulling sections of hair up on top and rolling the brush several times to create lift and a soft bend through the ends. A dab of styling paste can be emulsified onto your hands and your fingers raked through hair to create separation.

Sarah’s length was overwhelming and her grown out color needed to be refreshed. Pon (Saradeth of PON International in Anaheim Hills, California) updated the slight ombre feel with darker roots and lightness on the ends by highlighting through with several shades of toasty blonde and light golden brown. He cut a better length and then added low layering for a face-framing quality. 

Long layers and side-swept bangs are accented with peek-a-boo highlights.

Starting with styling lotion on damp hair, blow dry sections using a round brush to roll layers away from your face. Use a smaller round brush to roll the ends of vertical sections into barely-there curls.
