HOW-TO: Teasing Modern Texture

This modern, stylish and easy “red carpet” updo found in the Modern Salon Learning catalogue will teach you simple backcombing to help in combining textures and shape. In the lesson Tease Me, four sections are taken through the interior and exterior to create this style. Learn how volume is used in the interior to elongate face shape and compliment the style. This lesson also offers a “master” trick to control fly away hairs.
