- Hey Pride Summit, (popping)
it's Chris Appleton and I'm so excited today
'cause I'm gonna be showing you how to go from this,
to this.
So for any prom, I always think
glam hair never goes out of fashion.
So I'm gonna show you how to do some really big,
sexy kind of half-up, half-down Barbie-style hair.
What we're gonna do for step one is we're gonna be using
(popping) these old school heated rollers.
Heated rollers are a great way of getting
volume and bounce into your hair.
So we're gonna get those through the hair
started at the front.
And then just secure with a little pin.
Now these are actually pretty old school, but honestly,
one of the best ways to get lots
of volume and curl in your hair without doing too much.
I just tend to find if you're doing your hair at home,
trying to use curling irons can be a little bit fiddly.
These you can whack in.
You can even take really big sections.
You just wanna get some volume and bounce into the hair.
Okay, so once all the rollers are in,
this is effectively what it should look like.
So starting (popping) at the top,
all the way down to the bottom,
and then you just put them in either side and down the back.
The bigger the roller, (popping) the bigger the curl.
The smaller the roller, the tighter the curl.
So I think just use big ones
'cause we want really volumous, bouncy-looking hair.
Alright, so it's been in for 15 minutes.
So we're just gonna take out the roller
and you should get something that looks like this.
So the hair should be really bouncy and springy
without you having to do too much.
I'm gonna make sure you can see this.
And so it should just be bouncy like that.
Now it's really hard to get that bounce
from using the curling iron because the heat
sometimes takes away the volume.
And for this look, you need a lot of volume.
All right, so now the rollers are out.
You should get something that looks like this,
that really bouncy kind of volumous hair.
You can see how much volume is in the hair.
Now don't brush it out at this point.
What I want you to do, use the Color Wow Extra Shine Spray.
This is my secret kind of weapon to really glossy,
expensive-looking hair, and trust me, shiny,
expensive-looking hair never fails to turn heads.
All right, now what we're gonna do,
whilst that sinks in, we're gonna take a section
above the ear and we're gonna basically
pull the hair up off the face.
Now what I want you to do,
the really important part of this look
'cause it's not just a half-up, half-down.
You need to directly go (popping)
vertically up with his ponytail.
So you don't wanna go back here.
You wanna follow this cheekbone and go right up.
And then you wanna place the half-full ponytail,
right on top of the head.
You're gonna have to use a tail comb like this
(popping) to take your section.
So starting from the crown,
you can section it out like that.
And if you're not a professional,
when you feel like you can't do that,
just use your fingers as a guideline.
All right, now we've got the section.
So I like the way that section,
you can see we're gonna follow the cheekbone.
Use the Color Wow Cult Favorite Hairspray.
So I like to use a lot of this because I think for me,
what makes the look look cool is
when this is really flat and snatched off the face,
and then you've got all this volume and curl from the back.
That's what makes it look kind of eye-catching
and a little bit different.
So you don't have to be light with the product.
I always to kind of use a lot.
I'll open it up a little bit
and make sure I put it all in at the roots,
but none of the products should go
on the ends at this point.
All right, when I'm tying,
I like to use these blanks (popping) elastics,
'cause they're really secure the hair's up.
I'll put one elastic round.
But what I like to do sometimes is
just go in with a second one just to make it really secure.
I like it tight at the root here,
'cause it gives you much more volume to your ponytail
and it ensures you're not gonna go anywhere.
Now, if any of you guys have these areas,
like these shorter bits, like bangs that stick up.
Don't worry.
What we're gonna do is just take
a little bit more of the Cult Favorite.
So grab your hairspray.
Take the shorter sections.
And what I want you to do is just basically
spray lots of hairspray on it,
and then we're gonna wrap them
around the base of the ponytail.
So any of the short areas that everyone has,
don't worry about it,
'cause we can actually use that to hide the ponytail
and give it a little bit more of a look.
All right guys, so now we've got the ponytail in.
As you can see, it looks great around the sides
'cause it's really snatched.
No prom hairstyle would be complete without an accessory.
So I'm gonna add one of these accessories to the base.
They effectively just come on like a little clip.
You can use anything, you can use jewelry.
You can use, necklaces are a great way of accessorizing.
This one just has a hook in.
So I'm just gonna literally hook it in
around the base of the ponytail
just to give it a little bit more of a wow factor.
All right, so one last blast of the Extra Shine Spray.
This is gonna be your best friend
whilst you're wearing this style.
Make sure you give it a good old blast.
At this point now, what I like to do
is only shake the style out with my fingers.
You don't need to go straight on and brush it.
It depends how you like your style to look.
So basically you kind of just use your fingers
and just shake the curls out
or go in with a brush, which I'm gonna do now
and brush the curls out.
So what you can do as well is use
a little bit of the Shine Spray on the brush.
Sometimes I like to do that just to get even more shine.
The very thing about this product is you won't get greasy
and this will actually help to control
as you brush the curls out,
it will stop it from getting frizzy,
and stop the hair from fluffing up too much.
I just think it looks a little bit more kind of cool though
when the curls are brushed out,
it looks a bit more glamorous.
And you can start to see all the volume come out.
Alright guys, this is the finished look.
So you've got that volumous, shiny,
glossy, half-up, half-down Barbie-look.
I'm obsessed with this 'cause I think it looks really cool,
but it's really glamorous.
And you can see how much kind of volume and shine you get
just from using the heated rollers.
But the most important part is
just adding that Extra Shine Spray
so you get that real bouncy kind of curl.
Now like I said, don't be afraid to brush your curls out.
I think it's really important to kind of remember
this look is about volume and bounce
as opposed to super, super, curly hair.
