- After washing your hair, get ready with a round brush which will give some volume and provide easy bending of hair.
- If your hair are very thick and wavy use an appropriate mousse or a little straightening cream.

- For bangs pay special attention to curling them inwards in one direction with a round brush for a fuller effect.
