How to Make Your Hair Look Freshly Scrunched All Day
- 1). Wash your tresses with shampoo and conditioner tailored to your hair type. Apply the shampoo to your hair from roots to tips; however, only apply the conditioner to the center of your hair and work downward to the tips. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle, create a natural shine and to help hair scrunch.
- 2). Squeeze the water out of the hair with a towel. Do not rub hair to remove moisture, only squeeze. Keep squeezing and blotting your hair until the hair feels damp and no longer drips.
- 3). Apply a plum-size amount of mousse to your palm and rub your hands together. Work the product into your hair from the middle of your hair to the tips. Do not worry about scrunching your hair at this point. Continue working the product into your strands until it is gone.
- 4). Spread a styling gel throughout your hair to assist with scrunching. You can mix two or more products together as long as the products are working towards the same style. Squeeze a quarter-size amount of gel into your palm and rub the hands together. Work the product from the middle of your hair to the tips.
- 5). Begin scrunching at one side of your head and working your way through your hair to the other side. Scrunching is similar to crumbling paper; therefore grab a section of hair and crinkle it upwards to your scalp and hold for five seconds. Release the hair and repeat.
- 6). Dry your hair with a long-finger diffuser or allow your hair to air dry. Set the diffuser to a low-medium setting and insert upwards into the hair. The hair will sit on the base of the diffuser and dry. If your hair frizzes then skip the diffuser because it will only create more frizz. If you air dry the hair, then scrunch the hair with a towel after you apply the styling products. The towel will remove excess moisture and help create waves within your hair.
- 7). Spray hair with a light-hold hairspray to keep the style throughout the day, and apply a shine serum. The serum should be light-weight so you do not weigh the hair down.
