Hair setting, as demonstrated in the video reference, involves using heat and styling tools to shape and add volume to your hair. Here’s how to achieve a basic hair setting:
Basic Hair Setting Steps
-
Prepare Your Hair: Start with clean, dry hair. You might use a product to add texture and thickness.
-
Grab a Blow Dryer: Use a blow dryer to heat and shape your hair. The reference mentions a "Forte series" dryer, highlighting the importance of a quality tool.
- Example: A dryer with multiple heat settings will give you better control.
-
Blow Dry with Brush: Use a brush to lift and shape your hair as you blow-dry.
- Technique: Brush your hair backwards to create volume and shape.
-
Shape and Lift: Focus on lifting the roots while blow-drying. This technique helps create volume and the desired shape.
Key Considerations
- Heat Protection: While not explicitly mentioned in the reference, applying a heat protectant before using a blow dryer is very important.
- Brush Choice: The type of brush you use can significantly affect the final style. A round brush is often used for volume.
- Product Use: The video mentions the product adds thickness, so using the right products can enhance the hair setting.
Benefits of Hair Setting
- Volume: Achieves noticeable lift and volume.
- Shape: Creates a styled appearance.
- Lasting Hold: Provides more hold than just air-drying alone.
By using a blow dryer and brush strategically, you can add significant volume and shape to your hair.
