Stylists Top Tips for Styling your Gringe.

If you’re time poor, whether it’s the kids, the job, the demands of family and friends, take note this is the hair style for you. The quickest way to blow-dry your gringe is to pin the longer lengths of your hair to the side, then follow these simple steps to gringe glam!

Tip #1. Wash and condition hair with a volumising shampoo and conditioner, we recommend  Moroccan Oil Extra Volume Shampoo and Moroccan Oil Extra Volume Conditioner.

Tip#2. Spray a few pumps of Kérastase Volumactive Expansion Spray and divide the hair into two even sections.

Tip#3. Using a flat paddle brush like the  Moroccan Oil Paddle Brush, blast the first section in a downward motion as you direct the brush diagonally. Gently sweeping out the ends to get that sexy flick.

Tip #4. Repeat the same with the top layer, ensuring not to create too much height or you’ll end up with an 80’s style that Madonna would have been proud of! Check out  Hair Secrets from Celebrity Stylists for further reading.

Tip #5. Press the cool shot button on the hairdryer to set the style and intensify your hair’s sexy sheen, try  Remington Stylist Turbo 2200W D3710 for seductive volume and a sexy, smooth finish.
