·         Rounded brush

·         Hairdryer

Method

1.      Comb all of the knots out of your models hair and make sure it is smooth and silky.

2.      Make small, neat sections all over the head and use the section clips to keep the hair up and out of the way.

3.      Start at the back of the head, use the hairdryer with a nozzle and a rounded brush to blow the hair downwards.  This will help the stray hairs naturally flow down the hair shaft and gives a soft smooth finish.

4.      When you get round to the front, top sections smooth a small amount of mousse onto the hair.  Use the comb to come it through and the hairdryer to make sure all of the fly – aways are smoothed down.

I then put my smooth hair into a hairstyle that could be passed off as mens.  I started with a French pleat that I rolled very tightly and pinned it flat to the head.  I then wrapped the hair very tightly around the head and pinned in place.

The model I chose to work on had a fringe so I incorporated this into my design.  Using the hairdryer and the rounded brush, I styled this into a masculine quiff which I would’ve the set with some hair gel to help it look more manly.
