Get the Look

  1.  On cleansed, towel-dried hair, spray FHI Heat’s Stylus High Altitude Root Lift Spray ($15.00) evenly across the head to deliver lift and volume.
  2.  Using FHI Heat’s Innovator Pro Power Speed Dryer ($350.00), and a small round brush, lift and bend the hair from the root.
  3. Use an FHI Heat Platform Plus Curve 1” Flat Iron ($112.50) on the fringe area of hair to piece and spike it out, while still maintaining the root lift achieved from the dryer and round brush. 
  4. Apply a small dab of FHI Heat Stylus Total Control Hairstyling Gel ($15.00) between fingers and manipulate crown hair spiked pieces for definition and separation.
  5. Generously spray with FHI Heat Stylus Stay Beautiful Light Hold Hairspray ($18.00) to lock in hair for the night.
