«The tips should not be rolled up too much, it’s better to leave them straighter to maintain a modern and spontaneous allure. Once you have finished styling using the brush or hairdryer, the waves should be opened with your fingers. The final touch is a veil of light fixing spray or a veil of texturizer for a soft, natural and chic result.”

«They shape themselves damp hair using a light gel or a styling cream with a glossy effectpossibly mixed with a polishing serum, distributing them above all on the top of the head and at forehead level.”
The hair should then be pulled back, using a fine-toothed comb or brush, following the shape of the head to create a smooth and compact surface. «The roots must remain well disciplined and shiny, while on lengths can leave a slightly softer finish to avoid a result that is too harsh or artificial”, underlines Giusy Cacciatore.
«The objective is a clean but lively line, with a crease that seems natural, not a straight line that is too static».
To finish, use a light cream or a shine treatment on the lengths, shaping the ends of the locks with your hands. The result must be tidy, brilliant and very controlled, without weighing it down.
«To obtain an impeccable result, the secret is to dose the chosen product, which should be distributed in small doses, to give shine and definition, without weighing down the look. In the end, it can fix with a very light veil of spray, maintaining a sophisticated and almost natural air that makes the wet look modern”, concludes the expert.
