Back in 2015, which was actually less than a month ago believe it or not, I had an opportunity to work with Living Proof. I’m now completely addicted to their dry shampoo and have really enjoyed the products that the stylist recommended for me.

I do a lot of wavy and curly hair tutorials, but today I wanted to show you how to get lots of volume using a Hot Tools 2 inch curling iron.

In the shower, I washed my hair with Living Proof Full shampoo and conditioned with Living Proof Restore conditioner. Then, I applied just a dime size amount of Living Proof PHD 5-in-1 styling treatment all over my hair, except for my roots. I squeezed a golf ball sized amount of Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse into my palm and applied it to my hair, focusing on the root area.
With the T3 PROi dryer, I dried my hair with my fingers until it was about 80% dry. Next, I grabbed a paddle brush and smoothed through my hair section by section until it was completely dry.

To encourage the most volume, I started at the top “mohawk” section of my hair. I sprayed the entire section with a light mist of Living Proof Flex Shaping Hairspray to help hold the curl. I really love this for setting my hair. It isn’t overly wet, so you don’t hear the iron sizzle as it touches your hair, which is never a good sign.

I put the barrel in horizontally, and wrapped the entire section. Afterwards, I pulled the iron out but left the curl in it’s shape using duckbill clips ...
