Soft S-Waves

Featuring the Diane Charlize Manikin Head

This soft, laid back, Hailey Bieber-inspired look is all in the prep, says Marylle.

How-To:
Apply Sebastian No. Breaker to damp hair, then layer Sebastian Whipped Creme and Sebastian Thickefy Foam and blow dry.
 

To create the S-shaped waves, spray each section with Sebastian Shaper Zero Gravity then feed into a flat iron in an S shape. Marylle used the Hot Tools Professional Black Gold Ionic Salon Flat Iron 1.25”. Finger comb or use a wide tooth comb like the Cricket Carbon Comb C30 Power. Finish with Sebastian Dry Clean Only Dry Shampoo.

Color Formula:
Root shadow with Wella colorcharm 6A/462 Dark Ash Blonde then gloss with Sebastian Cellophanes Espresso Brown for 20 minutes under heat.

 

Natural Texture

Featuring the Diane Naomi Manikin Head

Marylle enhanced the manikin’s natural texture by setting with a few of her favorite products, then back-cutting certain pieces for added shape.

How-To:
Cocktail No. Breaker and Sebastian Gel Forte, then coil hair and set it. Once dry, back-cut each coil to expose soft texture. Finish by spraying Zero Gravity to areas where you want a bit more height.
 

Color Formula:
Balayage with Wella colorcharm Painting Balayage Ammonia-Free Lightener (1:2) for 30 minutes, then gloss with Cellophanes Honeycomb Blonde for 20 minutes under heat.

 

Farrah Fawcett Set

Featuring the Diane Nora Manikin Head

Marylle pre-cut this manikin into a longer mullet shape before creating a beautiful, ‘70s-inspired set

How-To:
Apply No. Breaker to damp hair, then apply Thickefy Foam - Marylle’s favorite product for set work. Blow dry, then set with duckbill clips. Remove the clips and brush through thoroughly using a nylon/boar bristle brush like the Spornette Ion Fusion Cushion Hair Brush. Apply Sebastian Dark Oil and finger-comb through, roots to ends. Finish with Zero Gravity.
 

Color Formula:
Balayage with colorcharm Painting Balayage Ammonia-Free Lightener (1:2) for 30 minutes, then gloss with Cellophanes Cinnamon Red for 20 minutes under heat.

 

Party Pony 

Featuring the Diane Sara Manikin Head

Create two ponytails by looping one underneath and through the other.
