First, section the hair in halves by using butterfly clips to secure. Then, spray each curl with White Sands Liquid Texture Soft Hold Thermal Styling Spray. Section hair once again but this time horizontally, curling hair back and away from the face. Clip the curls so that it cools and sets with direction. Then, finger threw the style for body and movement. Use an oil to tame unwanted flyaways and the Tancho Stick for smooth edges.

"For this variation on Tia's curly hair above, the same products are needed. But, this style is approached in a different way," reveals Nikki Wright. "For this particular look, all curls are done on base (not curled back as on previous looks)."
