How ought to I type it?
“Styling-wise you’ll want a hairdryer and a vent brush. I like to recommend the Dyson hair dryer, as it’s compact and straightforward to deal with, and a Denman brush. On clear, damp hair apply a tangerine-sized quantity of Kevin Murphy Physique Builder mousse all through the hair. Then, utilizing the comb and your dryer, blow-dry your hair again away out of your face and push the perimeters again as nicely. Maintain working your hair again out of your face till dry after which use the comb to show the ends of the again and sides below. After you have completed drying your hair take a small quantity of Oliver J Woods wax – not more than a pea-sized quantity to start with – and rub it into your palms after which work it by way of your hair. Use the vent brush to then type and end your hair.”
