80's Retro hair

Step 1: Shampoo and condition hair with volume enhancing products. Use conditioner sparingly as too much can make fine hair limp.

Step 2: Apply a serum to seal the hair cuticle, prevent frizz and protect hair from heat styling.

Step 3: Work in mousse to maximize body and fullness.

Step 4: Start blow-drying hair. If your hair is curly, dry hair with a large natural-bristle, round brush starting at the roots, elevating two-inch sections for maximum body.
If your hair is straight, rough-dry it until all moisture is removed. Spray with a -hold hairspray that will block out moisture and protect against frizz.

Step 5: Next, use a jumbo curling iron to create a "bump" in hair in the root area. Direct the front of the curling iron to the side you would like your part the fall on and upwards at the crown area for maximum body. It is crucial not to use an iron that is too small. It will give hair too much curl and a completely different look.

Step 6: Flip head upside down and use a comb to back-comb the hair at the nape to halfway up the back of the head for extra volume.

Step 7: To finish this hairstyle, and clinch va-va-voom volume, use a firm-hold hairspray.

Expert tip: Insert a clip-in hair extension for extra-glam on a special night. Tease hair in the area where you are inserting the hair extension. This gives the extension more to grip onto. It also ensures that it will not slip out during your evening out. Insert the clip in hair near the scalp close to the nape of the where it cannot be seen but the strands are obviously visible. Gently smooth hair with a large tooth comb or vent brush, being careful not to move the clip or remove the back-combing. Apply a little more hairspray to keep everything in its place.

"Big hair emerged as a strong trend on the runways for summer," says Howard Barr, Canadian Creative Consultant for John Frieda Professional Hair Care. "We saw great examples at Vivienne Westwood's show. Big voluminous hair is great for the summer months, the key is to control the frizz."
