Create Texture In Hair & Bangs

Get gorgeous beach hair with your curling iron.

As beautiful as sleek straight hair is, there may be times where you want to change up your look with more volume and texture. This is the perfect time to grab your styling tools and a few hair products to transform your straight hair. Using a curling iron, you can give your hair plenty of texture with tousled waves. If you want to look like you just stepped off the beach, give your hair and bangs some beachy waves.

Instructions

1. Wash your hair and towel dry. Remove any knots or tangles.

2. Flip your head upside down. Apply a small amount (the size of a quarter) of volumizing or texturizing gel to your hair from roots to tips. Massage the gel into your hair to create a bit of texture.

3. Blow dry your hair, keeping the nozzle facing downward. Hold it a few inches away from your hair. Flip your head upside down if you want extra volume. Set your blow dryer on cool to lock in the volume. Scrunch your hair as you dry.

4. Set your wide barrel (1 ¼ inch wide) curling iron on a high setting.

5. Separate a 1 inch section of hair. Apply a texturizing spray to this section.

6. Twist the section with your fingers to create a slight rope effect. Starting near the roots, wrap the section of hair around the curling iron, leaving about an inch unwrapped so you get flat ends. Repeat this process to create texture on the rest of your hair and bangs.

7. Run your hands through your hair to release the curls.

8. Use hair pomade to define your bangs. The pomade will make these pieces stand out more.
