00:00 Hey Total Beauties, it's Mary here and I'm here with the amazing celebrity hair stylist
00:09 Harry Josh.
00:10 How you doing?
00:11 And today, because I know I have a holiday party to go to on Friday and then probably
00:15 a couple more after that.
00:16 I know you guys do too.
00:17 And so the big question is, once you find a sparkly dress to wear, what are you going
00:21 to do with your hair?
00:22 So we've got Harry here who's going to show us an awesome look that he did on Rose Byrne,
00:28 correct?
00:29 The holiday for Chanel dinner she went to.
00:31 And she looked gorgeous and so I'm going to let him hopefully transfer me into Rose Byrne
00:35 for my holiday party.
00:36 Or at least the hair.
00:37 The hair.
00:38 We'll never be as funny as that girl, but at least the hair.
00:39 It's true, it's true.
00:40 So that'll be really awesome.
00:41 So yeah, so walk us through what you've been doing and what you're going to do.
00:46 Alright guys, so for everyone who's home who's just starting to tune in, it's really important
00:49 for you guys to know what I did off camera.
00:52 So you're coming in tuned, you're watching it now, it looks like 80% of it's waved.
00:56 You don't know how I got there, you don't know what I put in her hair, but I'm going
00:58 to tell you right now.
00:59 The most important thing you can do is for any woman out there, I don't care what kind
01:03 of hair texture you have, whether you have fine hair, straight hair, curly hair, unruly
01:09 hair, nice hair, it doesn't matter.
01:10 You need product and tools.
01:13 There's no look you'll ever see in a magazine, on a carpet, on a cover of anything, on a
01:17 TV commercial, on a TV show that does not have those two basic elements.
01:23 Mousse is my favorite product on the market.
01:25 I love this one, you can get it from the drugstore.
01:27 It's a John Frieda Frizzy's Mousse, totally inexpensive, I think it's under $10.
01:31 So truly, this is a great product.
01:33 Doesn't matter, even if you don't have frizzy hair, you're like, "Oh, but the mousse is
01:36 for frizzy hair."
01:38 It's great for girls with frizzy hair.
01:40 However, even if you don't have it, it's a great mousse.
01:43 You do not have frizzy hair.
01:45 And I'm probably going to give it some wild texture at the end, but generally speaking,
01:48 when I started with her, she didn't have frizzy hair, but I wanted to use the mousse because
01:52 it's a lightweight styler.
01:53 I applied it on dry hair, which you were surprised about.
01:56 I was surprised because I just got to do it wet.
01:58 So you can, you can.
01:59 You can apply it on wet hair, you can apply it on dry hair.
02:02 It's the versatility of the product, which I really love, and I do root to tip.
02:05 So for a lot of people who are like, "Well, how much exactly mousse am I supposed to be
02:08 using?"
02:09 I would say for everyone, come around here for a second, you can see the size of the
02:12 ponytail.
02:13 So that was a good gauge for people at home to see.
02:14 So she's got pretty thick hair.
02:16 So that's about how much hair we have.
02:17 So for hair this size, I'm going to drop it back out, I would say I like to divide the
02:21 hair into quadrants.
02:22 So I like to do from center of the nose, all the way back, ear to ear.
02:26 That's one, two, three, four sections.
02:28 Each section, size of a large egg.
02:31 Oh, okay.
02:32 Or a small tennis ball or like, you know, like.
02:34 I can picture that.
02:35 Yeah, so about that much.
02:36 So you do, and the key is to do, apply it the way I just said, in the quadrants.
02:40 Because what ends up happening is people watch something, they're like, "Oh, you just apply
02:42 a ton of mousse."
02:43 They go like this, and they go like that.
02:45 And then all this hair has no product, and the front is gooey and sticky, and then they
02:48 report back, "I hate product.
02:50 It makes my hair feel like awful."
02:51 So very important for you guys to watch and know how to apply product to really get the
02:55 maximum benefits we can from it.
02:57 So like we talked about, four quadrants, size of an egg, a large egg, of course, because
03:02 she's got quite a bit of hair, raked through, root to tip.
03:05 Just with your fingers, or do you need to comb and through?
03:07 Fingers.
03:08 Fingers is good.
03:09 You can always comb and through.
03:10 A comb is a great way to evenly distribute products.
03:11 So whether you're not using mousse, use a comb.
03:13 Tools are everything.
03:15 So really, really important to have good combs that don't break the hair, that allow the
03:18 product to work its way through.
03:20 So once I had applied the mousse on your dry hair, which you can apply on wet hair, so
03:23 don't be afraid to do that.
03:26 I did it just because we didn't have a sink, and I knew it would work equally as well,
03:29 which it did.
03:30 So that being said, we did that.
03:31 The second thing I did is just to get a little texture at the roots.
03:34 I love using this spray that I use called Evo, which I cannot find.
03:39 It must have dropped on the floor.
03:40 But Evo spray is a salt spray.
03:43 It's called Salty Dog.
03:44 All right?
03:45 Okay, so that's a funny name for a product, right?
03:46 I wanted Salty Dog hair.
03:47 The Salty Dog product.
03:48 What's really cool, because it's really, really rough.
03:51 So it's not a product you actually want to feel to be like, "That feels lovely."
03:54 It actually feels really bad.
03:56 But if you just squirt a tiny bit at the roots, it gives it that rough texture so that at
04:00 the end, when I rough it up, which we haven't gotten to that point yet, you'll see the texture
04:05 I'm talking about.
04:06 So that'll make a place there.
04:07 So we then rough dried her hair just with our fingertips.
04:11 And then the same thing with the sectioning again, after you blow dried the hair.
04:15 Very important for people at home to know how to blow dry your hair.
04:20 All right.
04:21 Nozzles are key.
04:22 So a lot of people at home, when they have their blow dryers, take this off, my mother
04:25 included, we'll throw some of it.
04:27 I don't need this.
04:28 I just need this.
04:29 This is what I want.
04:30 Have it go wild.
04:31 Go wild.
04:32 This is going to slow my blow dry down.
04:33 That's nonsense.
04:35 There is a definite purpose for these nozzles, and that is to control heat and speed.
04:40 All right?
04:41 So when you have a nozzle as narrow as this, hopefully you guys can get how narrow that
04:44 is.
04:45 This blow dryer particularly comes with two nozzles.
04:47 It has a wide nozzle that allows for heavy airflow for light lifting and blow drying,
04:53 and this concentrated narrow nozzle that really allows the hair to be sleek and smooth.
04:58 Now because I didn't actually have to dry your hair because it was dry, I just rough
05:00 dried it, I could have taken this off.
05:02 But instead I just rough dried it all the way around.
05:05 But for everyone at home who struggles with blow drying their hair, key tip, use your
05:08 nozzle, make sure that your brush hovers over your nozzle.
05:13 So I'm not turning the power on, and I don't want to straighten what I've waved, but just
05:17 for everyone at home to get a visual, when I say the brush should travel, this is where
05:23 you want the nozzle.
05:25 Hovering over the hair about a half an inch, and then really just holding those ends under
05:31 to wrap it.
05:33 Hot air, cold air.
05:35 Very important feature.
05:37 A lot of girls out there say, "Well, I don't ever need the cold air unless I'm sweating,
05:41 and I kind of use it to that."
05:42 That is not the purpose of a cold shot on a blow dryer.
05:46 Every blow dryer since the beginning of time pretty much has a cold shot.
05:49 What makes this cold shot particularly unique is that it actually shoots out cold air.
05:54 So I'm going to just turn this on so you can just feel it.
06:00 So that's pretty amazing because what happens for most dryers that you get on the market,
06:05 good dryers too, we're not talking bad dryers, any dryer, when you use a cold shot, what
06:08 it does is it removes the heat.
06:11 So you get from boiling hot, you press the cold shot, it just becomes kind of lukewarm
06:15 or cooler than what the heat is.
06:17 This dryer in particular has a really cold shot.
06:20 Why I'm telling you all this is because when you do a good holiday blow dry, you're going
06:25 to an office party and you're not going to wave your hair like this.
06:28 I'm going to give her a very cool look, and maybe that's too cool for you.
06:31 And you're like, "I got beautiful hair.
06:32 I want to have an amazing blow dry.
06:34 I like my hair smooth, but I want body.
06:36 I want a lot of movement."
06:37 That cold shot is what makes those blow dries that, for any of you guys who know my work,
06:42 who've seen Victoria's Secret, who see a lot of the campaigns and stuff that I do, that
06:46 bodacious big Giselle hair comes from a cold shot.
06:50 So what happens is, let's say I'm using a round brush like this.
06:53 I'm pulling in my section, I'm heating it up.
06:57 Once I lock that cold air, it is freezing that hot air, the hot section.
07:04 So when I take out my brush, I'll have the strongest bounce because it was so hot, and
07:11 then I froze it.
07:12 So it kind of locks it in.
07:13 It locks it in.
07:15 So then, after I do a couple sections of that, and I just rake the comb through her hair,
07:18 it's just like this huge, bouncy, it's like what everyone wishes a blow out would look
07:23 like, but often just kind of falls short of it.
07:26 So I hope I'm not giving you too much information, but really, really important.
07:29 So even if you don't recreate this look, these are valuable tips that you'll live with forever.
07:34 Holiday season or not.
07:35 All right, so.
07:36 That's a great one.
07:37 Okay, good for that.
07:38 Back to this look in particular, curling.
07:39 So a lot of people who curl their hair don't know how to curl their hair properly.
07:43 A lot of the times, especially back in the 80s, we had spring irons.
07:47 So that spring iron would start at the bottom, and you would wrap it up, and you'd hold onto
07:51 it, and you'd just slide out your section, and you'd have a big corkscrew curl.
07:55 Now these are called professional Marcel irons.
07:57 Now I know a lot of people who go to salons see this, and Marcel's are designed for people
08:02 like me, professional hairdressers, to be able to just fly through the hair and spin
08:06 it through, pull it out, and just kind of do that.
08:11 So impossible for someone at home to be like, "I can't do that.
08:14 That's crazy."
08:15 Is this what makes it the Marcel?
08:17 Yes, this rotates it and allows me to go in both directions so I can really press hair.
08:23 The word Marcel's really coming from France, and there was a certain look that was the
08:27 Marcel waved look in the 30s, and that's where this kind of originated.
08:31 However, which is super cool about this iron, it's a two-in-one iron.
08:34 So if you're not crafty with this, art freaks you out.
08:37 My mom was obviously a 60s woman, so she loves this.
08:42 And she doesn't do the spinning thing, but what she does, which is a very cool look I've
08:46 done on photo shoots before too, she grabs her thick hair, she puts this in, she closes
08:50 it, and she just rolls it up halfway.
08:53 And then she grabs the next section, and she rolls it in, holds it halfway.
08:56 And then when she brushes it all out, she's got this big, bouncy blood rye.
09:01 Look, but she really did it with the iron.
09:03 So forget all the complicated stuff.
09:05 If you're used to using a wand, guess what?
09:07 One click, it's a wand.
09:11 And since you guys are at home, most likely going to use this, we're going to curl with
09:13 this too.
09:14 All right, when it comes to direction, a lot of people have been told and read, and I have
09:20 definitely been guilty of saying this myself, hold the iron this way.
09:25 So when you're wrapping, you're wrapping the hair around it this way, or you're wrapping
09:28 it around it this way.
09:30 So the vertical thing works, but what ends up happening is if your hair is very layered,
09:36 or very just thinned out and texturized too much, especially in the front, when you start
09:41 doing all your hair this way, you end up with one huge sausage curl.
09:47 By the time you get in the car, you don't know how it happened, but it looks like one
09:49 massive ringlet.
09:50 All right?
09:51 And you're like, I don't know how this happened, but I look like I have one, like Nellie Olsen
09:54 from Little House on the Prairie.
09:55 So what you really want to do is have a modern look to it.
09:58 So altering the way you hold the iron will change the pattern of the wave.
10:03 So I've left a quarter of a section out here, because I want everyone at home to really
10:06 witness from start to scratch what a wave would look like.
10:09 So here's a section of hair.
10:11 How big of a section?
10:12 Okay, so this section right here is probably a square inch.
10:16 You guys can probably see what that is.
10:18 That's a square inch of hair, and the iron I'm using is 1.25 inch, because I don't really
10:23 want tight curl on her.
10:25 I want it to be really wavy.
10:27 And believe it or not, that's actually what most people want.
10:30 But for those of you who don't know, the right size of iron is going to change everything
10:34 for you back home.
10:36 So I'm going to just iron this.
10:37 So I'm going to wrap my hair around here, keeping the tail at the front of the head.
10:43 That is important for everyone who knows how to wave hair, that this tail, when I wrap,
10:48 should be at the tip of the iron.
10:50 Now I'm going to quickly, even though the other side's done, I want to just show you
10:52 something else.
10:53 So just quickly again, we wrapped it, the tail is in the end.
10:57 This side, and pull it down for a second, this side however, even though it's curled,
11:02 when you grab your section of hair, you're going to wrap it so the tail stays in the
11:06 end.
11:07 So it's an exact mirror image of the other side, which will create that perfect balance.
11:14 Alright, so again, one side going forward, we're going to do another piece, so everyone
11:18 can watch again.
11:19 Here we go, grabbing a section of hair, and we're going to just wrap it around, and I'll
11:26 leave a little bit of that end out, and then a little bit less, and just at the very end
11:30 I kind of touch it just a little bit.
11:32 If it gets too curly, I can pull it out by just doing a little bit of that.
11:35 Another trick for everyone to realize is if your hair, as you, maybe you were talking
11:40 to someone while you were curling, your roommate or something, and a piece got really curly,
11:45 the key to stretching that piece out is while it's hot to pull on it.
11:48 So I'm going to make this piece too curly, just so everyone can see how to correct when
11:52 you make it too curly.
11:53 So, you're wrapping the hair around, just like we spoke about the other two sections.
11:58 I'm talking to my roommate, "Yeah, it's on the top shelf, you can't miss it, third one
12:00 down, fourth one down, oh wait, my hair!"
12:02 So I take it out, it's like too curly, so while it's hot, I have to make it hot again
12:06 just so it's really hot, so while it's hot, I pull on it.
12:11 And when I pull on it, because the heat is still in that hair, I can slowly start to
12:15 let go and you start to see that the wave totally softens and transforms.
12:21 So don't fear if you curled your hair like, "Holy, this looks way too curly."
12:25 The key is to get it hot again and just re-stretch it out.
12:27 Alright, so--
12:28 Carrie, they want to know what type of wand are you using?
12:31 This is my wand, this is the Harry Josh Pro Tools Curling Iron.
12:34 It's the world's first two-in-one curling iron, so as you saw me demonstrate, it's a
12:39 professional Marcel, or even a Marcel for novices, really, or it just transforms into
12:44 a wand.
12:45 You can get this online at Dermstore.com, you can go to my site, harryjosh.com, there's
12:49 plenty of places for you to be able to source this, but it is the Harry Josh Pro Tools two-in-one
12:54 Marcel iron.
12:55 And for her, particularly, I'm going to stop right now and show everyone at home really
12:59 something that people don't understand.
13:00 These are two irons, I can put them side by side so it's easier.
13:03 I've got two sizes here.
13:04 For the sake of people getting confused, just know that this also becomes a two-in-one,
13:09 so let's make them look the same.
13:11 Isn't that cool?
13:12 Alright, so this iron, for the most record, scares people.
13:15 They're like, "Well, I don't want tight curls, I want big bouncy waves," and that would definitely
13:20 be too small, so I'm going to buy this one.
13:23 Now the problem with this is you've got to dictate what your hair is from the get-go.
13:27 So if you've got silky, virgin, slippery hair that's never fuzzy dry, it never holds a curl
13:34 to save your life, but you just want this big movement, you don't want a big iron, you
13:38 have to buy a small iron.
13:39 That is the biggest problem that a lot of people have.
13:41 So if you've got very healthy hair that you know drops no matter what you do, that you've
13:46 had your hair done professionally and by the time you get home it drops, you need to go
13:49 down.
13:50 Your iron size is incorrect.
13:52 Now if you've got processed hair, blonde hair, bleached hair, thick hair, curly hair, wavy
13:57 hair, anything that holds a curl, like her hair holds a curl like that, you all saw how
14:01 quickly it got tight, I'm going to use a large iron.
14:04 So very important for people to know what size of iron to use to really create the desired
14:09 end result.
14:10 And Harry, how long are you leaving, holding a curl for?
14:14 So each section is going to depend on the process of the hair.
14:19 So you have a couple highlights it looks like, nothing more than that.
14:22 So highlighting hair actually processes the hair enough that it becomes a little drier,
14:26 a little rougher, so you don't have to hold the iron so much.
14:29 Now if you had virgin, silky, shiny, I've never colored my hair, I've never done anything,
14:35 that you have to hold the iron a lot longer.
14:37 So as long as maybe 10 to 15 seconds, probably 10 seconds, 15 is way too long, probably 10
14:46 seconds a section to really get a nice full, body full style.
14:52 Again just wrapping the last two sections here just so we can get everything, it's a
14:55 little too tight, pull that down, and then just one more.
15:01 And then, so once we finish this, you know it's very odd to not work in front of a mirror
15:05 by the way, most hairdressers work in front of a mirror so I'm just guessing what this
15:08 looks like, so occasionally I will do that and just make sure this is what it's supposed
15:12 to be doing.
15:13 Just really trying to challenge it.
15:15 Yeah totally, but I think we can make that work, so that's okay.
15:17 So that being said, a lot of these, once you get to this texture, so if you're lucky and
15:23 you have hair, you wake up and you actually have hair quite like her already, you're like
15:28 you know what, I don't need to do all that stuff that he just did because my hair, I
15:31 wake up and my hair looks like that already.
15:33 In which case I'm jealous.
15:34 Yeah, but there are girls, I mean Giselle has hair like that without me.
15:37 Of course she does.
15:38 I wish that I could take her credit for her hair but her hair is just pretty much perfect
15:42 and doesn't really need anything.
15:44 So yes, exactly.
15:45 So I was going to show everyone at home what this would do for someone who wants to straighten
15:51 out an end.
15:53 So often when you wrap it, sometimes you feel like wow, everything's awesome but my ends
15:57 look a little too curly.
15:58 So even if you're scared of this, this is a great way for you to learn how to just practice
16:02 by just smoothing out the ends.
16:04 So what I do, so let's say it's a little curly, I can just kind of like press and it just
16:10 straightens out that end a bit.
16:12 I can just press it through and it just straightens out the ends a little bit.
16:19 So all we're starting to do, if there's anything that seems like extra curly or not right,
16:24 we can just press through the hair.
16:27 Just press through the hair.
16:29 And what I'm doing more than anything, as you can see right here, here's a great example
16:32 of it.
16:33 See what happens?
16:34 You get a straight end but there's still curvature.
16:36 So that's what you're looking for.
16:37 A lot of the times I see girls, they wave their hair halfway and then it's like poker
16:42 straight.
16:43 Like not even a bend.
16:44 And that's not really the goal.
16:46 The goal is to have a finesse like this where it just kind of has it straight but it's not
16:51 curly but it just has this kind of smooth, flattened out end like that.
16:56 And that's ultimately what every girl wants to have.
16:59 So for those girls who happen to have hair like this, now you pay attention because this
17:04 is where your job comes in.
17:05 So the next thing you want to do is to create kind of wild texture.
17:08 I love using the Serge Nermont Dry Shampoo.
17:12 This one in particular is right here.
17:15 This one in particular I love for a different reason.
17:18 Dry shampoos, oh wait, there's a cover there.
17:21 So dry shampoos typically are designed to suck out oil.
17:24 That is the main purpose of a dry shampoo.
17:25 You've got oily hair.
17:27 There's so many that are out there.
17:28 You just spray the kind of powder in, it sucks up the oil, you get instant lift and volume.
17:32 Now what's unique about this particular one is it actually builds so much texture into
17:36 the hair that it expands.
17:38 So with my fingers I'm going to just kind of squirt a little bit at a time.
17:43 And you know this end look I'm going for, for the record, just in case you're like,
17:46 "Oh, her hair looks messy," is a messy look.
17:48 It's a messy, sexy, textured look that looks really kind of wild and full.
17:54 And as I'm starting to do this, you can start to see the hair starts to expand.
17:58 Is it getting big, guys?
18:01 All right.
18:03 So you start seeing the volume start to take place.
18:07 And all I'm doing is going system, layer by layer, just squirt, squirt, squirt.
18:11 Good.
18:12 Are you aiming then at the roots or?
18:14 I'm trying to do it over the whole shaft of the hair.
18:17 So I'm trying to just kind of, because that's what I'm saying, the other dry shampoo, the
18:21 real oil suckers out there, those are designed to be put in the roots.
18:27 That's what that's really designed for.
18:28 What this does, shake it up, is it really just gives it that lived in, wild, looks like
18:33 she has tons of hair.
18:34 Whoa.
18:35 You know, look.
18:36 What does the lion mean?
18:37 You know, and I think she's actually, you're a side partner, aren't you?
18:40 I am.
18:41 Yeah, so like this would be her texture on how to get it to look, you know, like really
18:46 sexy and big and wild and like, I don't know if anyone ever saw that movie, Vicky Barcelona
18:51 and Christina with the Penelope Cruz, but her hair was incredible.
18:55 And I've always thought that every woman should walk around with a big jungle mane like that
18:58 because it was so good.
18:59 So here we have it.
19:01 We've got some texture.
19:02 So here's another trick.
19:03 So you have good texture that's going on.
19:04 This is still not the look, but these are still valuable tips for you guys at home to
19:08 see.
19:09 So if you realize that something has dropped, which I see that this has dropped a little
19:12 bit, go back in and just touch up certain spots to create a little bit more texture.
19:17 Harry, they want to know what that spray was again.
19:19 It is the Serge Normand Meta Reveal Dry Shampoo, available probably at Amazon or anywhere.
19:27 I feel like everything's available everywhere.
19:30 And again with the iron.
19:34 And see like just great texture that the iron is giving.
19:40 And now, as you can start to see, you're going to get a close up.
19:43 This is what I do when I do a lot of the Victoria's Secret things.
19:46 The curls aren't uniform.
19:48 So what I start to do is I start grabbing chunks of hair that are going in different
19:52 directions and just kind of grab it.
19:53 Like this is like a messy piece.
19:54 I'll go like this and I'll wrap the whole thing just for a second.
19:58 Make it really messy and then pull it out.
20:00 And then when I start to shake it, you don't really see.
20:03 If you were to see here, you don't see too many curling iron marks.
20:06 And that's kind of the key.
20:07 You just want to see texture.
20:09 You don't want to see like ringlets.
20:11 You don't want to see curls.
20:12 You just want to see like wild big hair you don't really know.
20:15 So that's a good thing to do.
20:17 Always pick up your tools, brush it out.
20:19 So the next thing I'm going to do, this is when it gets into the look.
20:21 I know you're a side partner, but I think what I'm going to do with you will be all
20:24 back.
20:26 So that being said, for this particular look, I always use a reference of Belle de Jour
20:32 from Catherine Deneuve.
20:33 For you younger people out there who are watching this, if you have a little Yorkie poodle,
20:36 it looks pretty much the same way.
20:37 All right.
20:38 So basically you're going to take, I don't have a mirror, but I'm assuming this is the
20:43 same spots here.
20:44 Feels right.
20:45 Feels about right.
20:46 And what we're going to do is we're going to create a nice high pony.
20:50 So I love to use a tail comb.
20:52 Tail combs are amazing for me because they give really clean sections.
20:56 And just sometimes when you have wild messy hair, you want it to look deliberate and not
21:01 like she obviously didn't do her hair.
21:03 You want it to look like, oh, her hair looks so cool.
21:06 So these details that I'm doing, having a clean section when it comes to the ponytail,
21:11 like here I am, you see like a clean line like that.
21:14 That kind of stuff does help.
21:15 And a tail comb's great to really create those lines.
21:17 So if you don't have a tail comb, invest in a tail comb.
21:20 I make this tail comb.
21:21 It's the Harry Josh Portables tail comb.
21:22 I know it sounds like a different brush tool, but it's not.
21:24 But you can get any old tail comb.
21:25 I don't care.
21:26 But use one because it really does help create clean lines and it also helps with sectioning.
21:30 So I think that's about a good spot for me to go.
21:33 I'm going to get a trusty elastic band to do this.
21:36 And then what I'm literally doing, this is, I'm sure as you viewers at home watch, you're
21:40 like, oh my God, my Maltese has that hair look.
21:42 It's a very young style look now.
21:44 It is a very in style look.
21:46 And I mean, like I said, I did it for Rose at a Chanel dinner and everyone loved it.
21:50 We'll post that picture in the comments.
21:52 Yeah, totally.
21:53 So, her picture is in the comments.
21:54 We'll put it in the comments after you see the before and after.
21:58 So then once you get to this point, and you have to remember like all this stuff, I don't
22:01 know if the light's catching it or not, you want all this.
22:05 You want all the wildness.
22:06 You want all the texture.
22:08 You want all of this because that's what makes it look cool.
22:11 The minute it expands and looks big, this is when it starts to look really, really cool.
22:16 Another way to get some nice lift up here, I tend to use a tail comb.
22:20 And I take, well after you put the ponytail in, very important, all right?
22:23 So you put your ponytail in, you're going to take little sections of hair, and all you're
22:27 going to do is just backcomb.
22:28 And you're going to take another little section of hair and you're going to backcomb.
22:38 And how are you backcombing your hair?
22:39 I'm literally taking microscopic sections with my tail comb, and then I'm just putting
22:45 the hair about, let's say about two inches in, and just pushing it down to the base.
22:49 Pushing it down to the base.
22:51 You're not going back and forth, right?
22:52 You're just going down, back, down.
22:53 No, just pushing it down to the base so it packs the root as we call it.
22:56 You're packing just the root, and what that will do is it will create the lift that we're
23:01 looking for.
23:02 Okay, so then, so it'll look a little ratty like that.
23:06 Now you've got to smooth that part out.
23:08 Very important, there's always fine details for everyone to know at home, and this is
23:12 something that comes from years of doing photo shoots and magazines and red carpets.
23:16 What is the deliberate and what is the, how do I get, like, what's the right amount of
23:20 mess?
23:21 What is the right amount of, like, you know, does it look good?
23:23 Does it not look good?
23:25 Having these details, nice clean lines, smoothed out top of the ponytail like I'm doing right
23:31 now, so it's just got, like, nice smoothness, you know, and I'll put some spray to finish
23:35 that off.
23:36 You know, these kind of details, the sectioning of that, allows this to be wild and still
23:44 look cool because you've obviously deliberately done something wrong and something's right.
23:50 It's all about balance.
23:51 Yeah, it's all about balance, but what's great for everyone to just see, you just point your
23:54 head that way, so you just get a really good texture, and I think that's the kind of texture
23:59 that most girls really want.
24:00 They don't want curls.
24:02 They don't want necessarily waves.
24:04 They just want to have this awesome bed head that they woke up with that looks amazing
24:09 and just has this really cool, sexy texture.
24:11 Look straight ahead.
24:12 You don't have mirrors.
24:13 Make sure you're balanced, which I think you are.
24:16 Yeah, I'd say that's pretty much your holiday look.
24:20 Fabulous.
24:21 I can't wait to recreate this on Friday for our holiday party.
24:24 Yeah, or don't wash it.
24:25 Just don't wash it.
24:26 Yeah, just live with it.
24:27 Even better.
24:28 So hopefully that was helpful for you guys at home.
24:30 You know, there's so much information, so if you guys missed it the first time around,
24:33 watch it again.
24:34 Share it with friends.
24:35 I think it's an awesome educational lesson, and I hope you guys have a great holiday.
24:37 And if you have lingering questions, feel free to post them in the comments, and we'll
