He blow-dried small sections of the hair with a round brush and pinned each section back. Set the hair for about ten minutes, Adir took a 1″ curling iron and curled her entire hair. He then sprayed some Sheer Hold Hairspray by Fekkai and pinned all her hair back into a low deconstructed bun. Making sure to leave the severe side bang and a few random pieces out to frame her face.
