Ok I may be biased, but seriously - the new Stefan styling range is AMAZEBALLS!
We currently have 5 different products that achieve 5 totally different looks.
Im going to go through these with you step-by-step, to have you looking gorgey this summer.
1. Blowdry Straight Creme
Nice and simple, pin straight locks. A classic.
This one is easy, just run the Stefan Blowdry Straight Creme through your hair when you get out of the shower.
Hold your hairdryer above your head and blowdry down. Don't flip your head upside down or shake your hair around too much, or it will add too much volume and frizz. It takes a lot longer, but it will create that long, lengthy, shiny hair look.
When its all dry, feel free to touch up the ends with your straightener if you have a few curly bits - but you shouldn't need to. Finally spray some hairspray in your palms and run down your hair, flattening it to your head. This will ensure your look stays all day.
2. Curl Defining Creme
Go au-natural without the frizzies.
After towel drying, run a 20c piece amount through your hair.
Then attach your diffuser attachment to your Stefan Blowdryer and scrunch your locks up into it while on a low-medium heat.
Slowly rotate around your hair until it's all dry. Flip your head upside down and add a little extra Curl Creme to the ends with your hands.
3. Style Surf Spray
THE LOOK this summer - undone, yet done beach waves.
After towel drying, spray the surf spray all over your hair until it's nice and damp. The part your hair down the middle and pull 2 sections to each side of your head like you are going to do 2 braids.
Simply split each section into 2, and wind around each other and tie with a hairband. Let it dry naturally.
Then un-do the wraps and shake out softly.
Add a bit more spray to the palms of your hands and softly tease up your hair at the roots with your hands.
4. Leave in protector
Must be used before ANY look if you are using styling tools.
This product is always used when heat styling, so for this example I will just describe a look to you that I love - it looks hard, but its soo easy!
After washing your hair, spray the heat protector in the ends. Blowdry and straighten.
Just above your ears, grab a small chunk of hair and simply plait downwards and secure with an elastic. Repeat on the other side.
Grab one plait and pull over the top of your head and secure behind the opposite ear with bobby pins.
Repeat on other side so the 2 braids cross over on top of your head.
Voila - a braid headband!
You can do the braid as thick or as thin as you like and I always like to add a few loose curls to the rest of my hair when I'm done, and because my hair isn't very thick, it helps to hide the bobby pins.
Here is my attempt at this style:
If you do really thick braids, it looks really funky if you pin up all your hair around the braid as seen on Sienna Miller here:
5. Texture Style Creme
Perfect to spunk up short hair - men or women!
This must be worked through damp hair. Start with a small amount and build up depending on how much texture you want. Let is sit for a minute, and then add more and ruffle with your hands. Gives lots of lift and a fun, spikey look for short hair!
Go forth and create!
