Adding texture to the hair

This lesson was about adding texture to the hair by scrunching and crimping.
The method I practiced was Scrunching, firstly I sprayed the hair with water (to make it more than damp but less than wet), I then used a hairdryer with a diffuser on the end whilst holding scrunching the hair onto the diffuser with my hand. This look could be further enhanced by using a salt spray or hairspray etc and maybe a little backcombing. I think this a really effective way of creating a beachy tousled look.

The method Hayley practiced on me was crimping, this method can be used not only as an overall look but also in a smaller amount as a method for adding volume. Hayley crimped my hair using crimping irons, working from root to tip and starting from the underneath sections of hair and working up. After each section of crimping, she also lightly backcombed from root to tip to add further volume and texture. This was a very effective method of adding volume to my hair especially because my hair is so thin and doesn't hold styles well. My hair looked like it had tripled and held most of its shape until I washed it that evening!
