Volume and lift inspired by 50's, 60's and 70's

I decided to base my look on a 1960s hairstyle, inspired by this picture:

Equipment:

• Sectioning clips 

• Hair bands 

• Hair grips 

• Paddle brush

• Pintail comb
• Hair spray

Technique:

• Brush through the hair to smooth it out.

• Starting from the top sections of the hair, section the hair into smaller sections and begin to backcomb using the pintail comb. Do this by creating a mess in the section and pushing it down.

• Carry on doing this until all of the outer sections have been backcombed. Ensure that you backcomb towards the middle of the head - e.g for the sections at the bottom you would backcomb above the hair.

• Gently brush through the sections using the paddle brush and bring them over to the side to create a side ponytail. 

• Secure with a hairband - double band if the model has very thick hair.

• Use the wide barrelled curling tongs to create curls in the ponytail, then brush them out to make them softer.

• Take a small section from the ponytail and wrap around the hairband to hide it, then secure with hair grip.

• Use hairspray to secure the style in place.
