Contrast curls to create a wow factor - get the look

Contrasting textures make Michelle Thompson's barrel curls stand out from the crowd. Follow these simple steps to create your own style statement.

STEP 1: Section hair from ear to ear and divide into two halves.

STEP 2: Set the back section on rollers to create volume and curl.

STEP 3: Blow-dry the front area and barrel curl from a deep side parting. 

STEP 4: Gently brush out the hair and finger wave through the front. Connect the curls at the back and mould into shape.

STEP 5: Finish with shine spray.
