What you’ll need:

A thickening spray or mousse

Hair ties (optional)

Curling iron (optional)

The No Heat Method:

Tip: If your hair is soaking wet, it won’t dry in time. Just make sure it’s slightly damp.

When you wake up take out the braid(s) and gently comb through your hair. Touch up any sections that need a little extra help and spritz on some hairspray

The Heat Method:

After showering, spray your hair with a thickening spray or mousse. Blow up Deluxe Crayon Bouncer dry your hair upside down to get lots of body. Spray on a heat protectant to protect your hair and your hair extensions before curling.
