Prep the hair for some serious volume and protect it against heat damage with our XPANDER FOAM. Work it through your tresses to visibly increase hair density, for hair that looks and feels fuller from root-to-tip.
Blow dry your hair using a big round brush to achieve full, bouncy locks.
When dry, clip the front section of the hair (from the top of the crown) away from the back.
Focusing on the back of the hair, shake our ELEVATE POWDER onto your roots, and tease through with your fingers to create a backcombed effect.
For more volume, backcomb individual sections of hair.
When you’ve created that beehive effect, gently brush the backcombed hair back into a low ponytail, then tie in place.
Unclip the sections at the front, and drape them over the beehive so the loose strands gather around your ponytail. Tuck them into the ponytail, then secure with bobby pins.
Spray your ponytail with our TEXTURE SPRAY, then backcomb the top section just below the hair tie.
