Whether you have a romantic date or a fun girls night out planned this Valentine’s Day, full, voluptuous hair will leave you feeling sexy, flirty and stylish. Celebrity stylist Laurent Dufourg, founder and owner of Privé Salons and Products, predicts revved up volume and texture for the night of love.
So if you are looking for soft curls, a modern take on Jackie Kennedy’s pompadour, or full-on voluminous texture like Jordin Sparks, Laurent shares his tips and reveals his go-to products so that anyone can recreate these gorgeous looks at-home this Valentine’s Day.
THE BIGGER THE BETTER
“Getting big, sexy curls and adding oomph to your hair is easy to achieve with the help of a great root amplifier and a curling iron,” says Laurent. Use a root amplifier like Privé’s Shining Weightless Amplifier on damp hair to add volume and protect hair from thermal styling. Once hair is blown dry, part down the middle and curl hair with a large curling iron. Bigger, looser curls, Laurent suggests a 1” to 2” barrel. Once hair is curled, flip hair upside down and add hairspray like Privé’s Finishing Hair Sprayfor hold and extra volume.
PUMP UP THE ROOTS
“Ultimately, volume starts at the roots,” reminds Laurent. To kick off your look, Laurent recommends using Privé’s Root Amplifier on your damp hair. Next, flip your hair upside down to blow dry, and use a paddle brush to straighten hair as you dry. Once dry, use a round brush to shape your hair whether curling the end under or using the brush to round out a pompadour look. If you want added volume, Laurent suggests teasing your roots at the crown of your head and then smoothing out the top layer of your hair for a soft, sleek put-together poof.
DON’T FORGET THE TEXTURE
The ultimate sexy styles are voluptuous and all about texture. Whether you sport long locks or a shorter do, Privé’s Finishing Texture Spray will help provide the volume and body you are looking for without weighing hair down. Blow dry your hair upside down and use your fingers instead of a brush for a wavy tousled look. Once dry finish with the Finishing texture Spray and Voilà! – all day texture and volume at your finger tips!
