Boho Waves
KEY PRODUCTS:
• Bamboo Style Super Natural Curl
• Bamboo Style Freestyle Control Gel
• Bamboo Style Boho Waves
• Bamboo Smooth Anti-Humidity Hair Spray
STEP-BY-STEPS:
• On clean, dry hair cocktail Bamboo Style Super Natural Curl and Bamboo Style Freestyle Control Gel equal parts.
• Blow dry using a large round brush to smooth while maintaining body.
• Divide the hair into two primary sections from your temples all the way to the back of the head.
• Section out the crown of your hair for later.
• Mist the back and sides of your hair with Bamboo Style Boho Waves.
• Starting at the back and bottom of your hair in vertical sections use a 1” barrel iron and wrap the hair around the iron working towards the face on both sides. Do not close the clasp on the hair.
• With each section leave least 3” of hair out of the iron. This creates a less formal effect by having the ends not be as curly.
• Now curl the back of the crown making sure you are still curling towards the face.
• Continuing to mist the hair as-you-go with Bamboo Style Boho Waves…curl the front of the crown away from the face to create that natural, Eco-Chic feeling.
• Tousle the hair with your fingers and finish with the Bamboo Smooth Anti-Humidity Hair Spray.

STEP-BY-STEPS:
Sectioning:
• Zone 1 & 2: Crescent shaped sections parallel to part line pivoting from stationary guide
• Zone 3: Radius sections pivoting from stationary guide at the apex
Cutting:
• Precut the length of the hair using the Alterna-tive Styling Band. Double loop the band. Make sure hair is all parted correctly and brushed to the back perimeter then apply the band.
• In Zone 1, use hinge in motion to cut from the part line, using a stationary guide, and crescent sections. Working in a counter clockwise motion, take all sections back to the original section. Continue until reaching the ear base balance point.
• In Zone 2, repeat hinge in motion, using stationary guide and crescent sections, working in a clockwise motion, taking all sections back to the original guide. Continue until you reach the ear base balance point.
• In Zone 3, from ear base to ear base, using gravity as your guide, take radius sections rotating from the stationary Apex guide, use downward refraction.
• Customize and perfect the fringe using pinch and upward refraction.
