Creating a Loose Curl

• 1). Wash hair and let air dry until it's damp. Flip head upside down and apply a scrunching mousse or gel onto your hands.
  
  
• 2). Work the gel through your hair in a scrunching motion, making sure to scrunch/apply the gel equally over your hair.
  
  
• 3). Flip hair back over and let dry completely. This should create a loose and slightly wild wave to your hair once complete, sometimes referred to as beach hair.
  
  
• 4). Spray with a curl-specific hairspray to seal the look and avoid frizzing.
  
  

Creating a Front Poof

• 1). Straighten or curl hair depending on preference. Using a comb, create a 2- to 3-inch across and 1-inch deep section of hair in the center of your head, directly above your nose.
  
  
• 2). Brush the front of this section back so the hair is flat and smooth. Pinch the hair flat between your thumb and index finger, keeping the section as flat against the head as possible.
  
  
• 3). Scrunch your fingers and the hair forward, causing the section to lift. Secure with numerous bobby pins once the section reaches the desired height and position. Seal the "poof" with hairspray.
