KEVIN.MURPHY-APPROVED STYLING TIPS
PREP: SANDBLASTING
The details:
- Select a product according to your texture type and the finished look you’re after. (We often use ANTI.GRAVITY or ANTI.GRAVITY.SPRAY on set or in the salon.) Then sand blast into the hair by applying heat with your blowdryer and rough drying with a controlled motion.
- It can look a bit rough and messy, but it sets the foundation for a flexible, volumised finish, and with the right tool choice, you’ll be able to create shine and hold as well.
SHAPE: KEVIN.MURPHY CURL.CLIPS
The details:
- A classic KEVIN.MURPHY technique, try using our CURL.CLIPS to create a beach texture.
- Prep the hair with your favorite texturising product (we love HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY) and then create bumps and enhance movement with CURL.CLIPS.
- You can even use this after creating classic curls or waves to turn it into a more edgy or disheveled style.
- If you need more texture, simply add more CURL.CLIPS to enhance bumps in all the right places.
