Va-va-volume: Get big hair in 5 easy steps

Ever wonder how celebs get that fab red carpet volume? Follow these easy steps and you’ll look have star-quality hair for your next big school dance! 

 

Step 1: Draw a line with your fingers from the front of your ears to the top of your head.  Clip all of the hair in front of that line together.  You’ll be saving it for later.

 

Step 2: Brush out all of the hair behind that line so it’s easy to handle. Once it’s brushed out, grab a one-inch section and stand it straight up.  Spray it with some major-hold hairspray.

 

Step 3: At the back of that section, place the brush about halfway between the end of your hair and your scalp and pull the brush down towards your scalp (the opposite way you’d usually comb your hair). Repeat 3 or 4 times. It’s going to look messy, but you’ll cover it up with the hair from the front of your head.

 

Step 4: Repeat the same process with 5-7 more one-inch sections evenly spaced around your head. 

 

Step 5: Carefully comb back the hair you clipped up earlier on top of your teased up bouffant, being careful not to brush too hard—you don’t want to flatten out all of that awesome volume!

How do you curl hair that is naturaly straight? I want one of the curling irons that come with the glove for my birthday but i dont want to make my mom buy it if it doesnt work!

 

Hey girlie, I have really straight hair too! I've found that the smaller curling irons work best. They give your hair a tighter curl which makes them last longer. Curl small sections at a time and use a lot of hairspray to make it stay longer.

I have two questions:
I know I can submit to do smaller unpaid jobs for gl, but how do you choose your models for bigger spreads? Do you use only local agencies? I would love to model for gl and I have an agent.
Next, since I started middle school, (two years ago) I have been playing a character. Not being my self. I've been pretending to be an overly happy girl who loves everything. I just don't get why. I also feel bad because people have gotten to know that girl. Not the real me.

 

 

 

Hey girly, you might want to start with the smaller model shoots or have your agent contact GL about bigger shoots. And I hope that putting a smile on your face at school has actually made you a happier person, but make sure that you are being true to yourself. No one can be happy all the time, don't be afraid to show your friends your ups and your downs. xoxox
