Retexturizing Straight Strands

by CurlStylist on Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Allen Ruiz demonstrates how to get bombshell texture from perfectly straight hair so even your straight-tressed friends can experience the texture revolution!

1. Part hair down the center using a rattail comb. Saturate hair with volumizing spray and divide into 1-inch to 1 ½-inch sections.

2. Apply a holding gel to each section and twist around finger to create a cylindrical coil. Continue up the back of the head in a brick-lay pattern.

3. Blow dry while scrunching the hair upwards, using fingers as a diffuser. Continue to squeeze hair as it cools.

4. Use a ¾-inch clipless curling iron to give more shape to random pieces. Leave out ends for a more modern look.

5. Finish the look by breaking up curls gently with fingers for added softness and volume. Spray with hairspray for hold.
