Tanika Ray Hairstyle - Alternative Medium Curly

Description

This crazy curly style looked spectacular on Tankia at the CW's All Star Summer TCA 2007 Party. Her back was left long and blunt cut and her full jagged bangs were angled to create a round shape. Her top and sides were also cut a little shorter to add plenty of volume and to create and even shape all over. This style will work best on medium to thick hair types and naturally curly hair.

Styling Steps

1 . Apply Moisturizer

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.

2 . Apply Sculpture Lotion

Apply sculpture lotion to the palm of the hand and then place it evenly throughout the hair. Sculpture lotion can be used as an alternative to mousse for messy hair, as a styling aid when blow-drying for volume, and for a stronger hold.

3 . Flip Head and Use a Diffuser and Fingers

Tip your head upside down and move the diffuser up to the ends, motioning the diffuser to the scalp in circular movements. Make sure the blow-dryer speed is on low and try not to completely dry the hair off. Leaving a little bit of moisture will allow the hair to dry naturally.

4 . Scrunch Hair Using Gel and Fingers

Apply your gel to the ends of your hair and then lightly pinch and scrunch the hair before allowing your gel to set.

5 . Apply Hairspray

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
