Start with damp hair. Apply a volumizing mousse from roots to ends. Blow dry using a round brush to create volume and direct the face-framing layers away from the face, creating “wings.” (Use a diffuser if your hair has any natural wave to it.) Apply a small amount of wax or pomade to the ends of the hair to define the layers. Mist with hairspray, if desired.
