For particularly thick hair, air-drying overnight might not be enough. If you desire a tousled look after washing, a blow-dryer is essential. Always use a heat protectant spray before any heat styling.
TRESemmé One Step Texture 5-in-1 Mist works on wet or dry hair, offering heat protection to shield your locks from damage while achieving your desired textured, tousled style.
To create tousled hair, roughly blow-dry your roots and use a diffuser through the lengths to encourage waves. Avoid using a brush, as this can straighten hair. Instead, rake your fingers through while drying to separate strands and add root volume.
Once dry, assess your tousled look. If your naturally straight hair lacks waves, or if it appears frizzy and undefined, it's time for a curling wand.
The tousled style aims for an undone, casual aesthetic, so avoid over-curling your entire head unless your hair is pin-straight. Curl small sections in alternate directions. Allow freshly-curled hair to cool before running your fingers through and shaking it out. Finish with TRESemmé One Step Wave Spray to enhance waves and provide a soft, natural hold that lasts all day.
