For this style, I will jump right into the particulars after the blow-drying has been completed. Here's step by step instructions for blow drying if needed.

How To Blow Dry Your Hair

• Gather hair into a low ponytail without securing for this particular style.

• Twist hair forming a coil.

• Pin hair into a smooth vertical twist. A spray of hair should emerge from the twist at crown of head.

• Choose and arrange sections of hair at crown so that it fans out. When you are satisfied with the results, mist with hairspray to hold in place.

Additional Hair Care Tips

*Oily Hair

If you have oily hair, you should not omit the conditioning step, but apply it from about your ears to the ends of your hair. Be sure to stay away from the roots.

*Spraying Bangs

Some bangs have a mind of their own, but styling sprays can be directed to specific areas... such as the bangs, for extra control.

*Dry Shampoo Recipe

Combining equal amounts of baking soda and oatmeal will do a nice job of absorbing oil. All you have to do is massage it in and then brush it out.
