The first step involves preparing your mane for its new level of bounce.
Start by washing your hair, but avoid towel-drying afterward to minimize possible frizz (viaGoop).
Instead, blot your hair dry with a microfiber towel or even an old t-shirt.
From here, use a blow dryer gently until your hair is about 70 percent dry (viaAllure).
The trick is to tease your hair using a bristle brush while you blow-dry at this stage.
Then, section your strands using hair clips to make styling and drying more manageable.
Then, see to it you have a paddle brush and a round brush ready to go.
If you’re looking for tighter-wound curls, a smaller barrel will work best.
Continue this process around your crown as you aerate your strands and add bounce.
Using a slightly lower heat setting may be beneficial as well since heat can minimize volume.
Once you’ve finished, add a finishing spray or cream to keep your blow out in place.
