00:00 Hey everyone, Jenny Strieve here with Confessions of a Hairstylist and I have taken over American
00:06 Salons Facebook and I am with the fabulous Kian of Orbe.
00:11 You are so fabulous.
00:12 So he is just wrapping up fashion week and I actually got the privilege to work alongside
00:18 him last night at the Blondes and you're such an amazing hairstylist and a hair.
00:22 Oh my gosh, thank you.
00:23 So what's your official title with Orbe?
00:24 I am Director of Content at the training.
00:25 Amazing.
00:26 And you're going to be showing them a hair how-to, right?
00:33 Yes, I'm actually going to be sharing a style that I previously did for a show at the beginning
00:40 of fashion week.
00:41 Which show?
00:42 The show was Sink Ascent.
00:43 Amazing.
00:44 Yeah, it was a great show.
00:47 The whole inspiration behind that, working with the designers and looking at the mood
00:51 board and they were showing pictures of this 1900s circus teen that traveled all the way
00:58 around Italy and all these beautiful textures and it was supposed to be very whimsical and
01:04 a lot of bouncy textures.
01:07 So I thought that it was a great way to introduce multitudes of ways to style an iron and curl
01:13 hair.
01:14 Very cool.
01:15 So that's what you do here with the sections.
01:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17 So there were so many different types of models and the first thing, because it was a presentation
01:24 and the weather and where it was at, it was on top of the rooftop at the Beacon Hotel
01:30 and obviously the day before it started raining and then on the day of it was beautiful, it
01:35 was sunny.
01:36 And so I had to take the weather into consideration on making sure that I chose the right type
01:44 of products for the right type of texture for each model.
01:48 Okay, very cool.
01:50 So a couple of different ways that we worked with setting hair.
01:54 The first thing was the team, the team that I had was awesome.
01:58 They were so awesome because everybody knew the product line really well.
02:02 Today we're working with Orbe Haircare using moisturizing products that are actually going
02:08 to condition all the textures and using the products to actually create that really nice
02:16 bounce and the gloss.
02:18 And so keeping it movable and wavy and airy is what we wanted on top of the rooftop.
02:27 Amazing.
02:28 Yeah, so what was important is the setting and also what's also important to not overstretch
02:35 the hair because since we are making it nice and volumous and bouncy, we don't want to
02:42 overstretch the hair.
02:43 So everybody looked, this is our model Trinity.
02:47 Hi Trinity.
02:49 She's got beautiful, beautiful hair and obviously there's some color in here so we really want
02:55 to enhance the color that's put in here.
02:59 The haircut plays a huge part in how we're going to set and the choosing of the size
03:05 of the iron.
03:07 So it's a middle part and it's a middle part that is not an extreme structured middle part.
03:15 It's a very hand-picked, light middle part using your hands just to pick out the center
03:22 part.
03:23 Very natural.
03:24 Very, very natural.
03:26 So I'm going to go ahead and start off with using a little bit of our Orbe Supershine
03:32 Light, it's definitely my favorite and I'm using, on this section I'm using very little,
03:38 like a teardrop.
03:41 Making sure that it's emulsified into the hair, bringing this moisture back.
03:46 Moisture is what's going to keep the hair bouncy.
03:49 So with Supershine Light, it's high-gloss, it's a cream but it's also sealing and protecting
03:55 the hair so that you're bringing the most amount of shine and protection to this texture
04:01 of hair.
04:05 Then after that, I've already prepped it a little bit so I'm just putting Maximista.
04:14 The reason why I'm using Maximista is because it's a presentation and they're on top of
04:18 the rooftop so knowing that it's a presentation, you have to choose the right product so it
04:25 holds.
04:26 You know, the weather, the wind is blowing.
04:29 It's very different than a 15 minute runway because on the runway it's almost like a 360
04:35 degree.
04:36 The girls walk and they come back and it's like 15 to 10, 10 to 15 minutes where this
04:42 is more like a presentation where they're standing on, you know, so you have to create
04:49 the right amount, the right texture for the right hair.
04:55 So what we did was we just, Trinity has gorgeous hair.
05:00 She does have like a little bit of bounciness so I'm just using a light, light, light mist
05:05 of Maximista and just finger drying it and, you know, just running it through just so
05:12 that when I hit it with the iron, not only that it's going to be heat protection, it's
05:17 going to create the most amount of body and dents with Maximista.
05:24 The setting, the setting was, it's the, the sections are really, are also very important.
05:31 What I did was just looking at the head shape, there's a top crown and then there's a bottom
05:37 so it's a multitude of curls and textures so the bottom is set differently and I just
05:46 sectioned the crown out to just right on top of the ear right here, the high point of the
05:51 ear, not behind the ear because what's going to be exposed is the face framing and the
05:56 crown.
06:00 How I did the bottom was I just used, I took big sections, you know, big gigantic sections
06:09 using a little bit of Impermeab.
06:12 Impermeab is an anti-humidity spray so what this does is once it, once this hits with
06:19 the iron, it also is going to help with humidity, it's going to help with setting the hair and
06:29 having a little bit more control while I'm setting the hair.
06:33 This is one of my favorites, everybody should have it, it's always in my bag and it's, I
06:38 always have it in my bag.
06:39 Can I get a close up of that for everyone else?
06:44 Impermeablet.
06:48 Some of the girls, some of the girls who have extremely long hair, what we did was we just
06:55 did a hidden braid and then it's just a cornrow, it doesn't have to be perfect, I actually
07:02 I like it to have it to be a little bit more rough down here but doing the hidden braid
07:08 right down here helps to take half of the work out.
07:13 Alright, so big gigantic sections and what I'm doing is I'm using a two size of irons,
07:29 it's always important nowadays, you know, because it's really about looking at the individual,
07:35 is to have all size irons and I love the hot tool, it's my Marcel iron because it really
07:41 helps with creating the right wave and they have multitudes of sizes and this is, right
07:49 now I'm using an inch.
07:53 Alright so the first thing you want to do is you want to lightly smooth out, a little
08:00 bit smooth out the flyaways just to kind of get a jump start on doing your iron and then
08:09 you're going to do a light twist, you're going to put the iron underneath at the base and
08:15 as you're rolling it naturally will coil the hair.
08:24 So it's like a twisted barrel curl.
08:26 And what are the perks of twisting the hair?
08:31 The perks of twisting the hair, you want to lightly coil it, you don't want to twist,
08:35 twist, twist because if you over twist the hair then what happens is the iron and the
08:41 Marcel, the heat of the iron doesn't penetrate all the way through and when I'm twisting
08:47 like this it's going to give me a looser wave and you can see that I'm holding my tail out
08:55 right here and I'm counting, I'm actually counting.
08:59 You know you want to make sure that as you're counting to like 10 to 15 seconds, every single
09:06 iron curl right here I'm making sure that it's the same amount of heat distribution.
09:13 And then now I'm just going to lightly hold my tail and roll under.
09:21 And what I love about this technique is that you can actually pin it down and right away
09:27 and give it like a classic barrel curl if you want something that looks a little bit
09:35 more perfectly placed and retro.
09:40 For this one I'm actually letting it drop, letting it cool a little bit and then re-picking
09:45 up my section, twisting it again, holding the tip of the hair and then just letting
09:52 it naturally coil under.
09:55 And the reason for this is what I love about it is that if you can see the root it almost
10:00 like scrunches up the roots a little bit and it kind of gives it, it makes it even more
10:05 irregular.
10:06 And that's what I think like natural wavy curly hair does is that it has its own personality
10:12 at the base and it just makes it a little bit more like natural.
10:19 I loved you referenced Sarah Jessica Parker earlier.
10:25 Yeah, you know when I look at all different types of curly hair and for this season it
10:31 was really all about naturally wavy hair.
10:35 All different types of ethnicities, curly, tight, some are wavier, some are in certain
10:42 areas.
10:43 So, you know for our team we had to have all the curl products ready, all the structured
10:48 part of our line, have it ready for us to identify what to make those curls to re-enhance
10:57 the curls.
10:58 We've got a couple questions.
10:59 Yes.
11:00 Kim Ray is asking what is your heat setting at?
11:02 My heat setting, that's a great question.
11:05 The heat setting is really important because the first thing I'd like to do is make sure
11:11 that what before, it's really about the texture of the hair.
11:16 If it's chemically treated I would turn the heat down a little lower and maybe do a test
11:22 for it.
11:23 But if it's silky and it's long and you really need it to have a lot more fold, I would turn
11:30 it up high.
11:31 But for this today it's out 380.
11:37 And Diana is asking what do you call this curl that you're currently doing?
11:43 I would call it like a twisted barrel curl, like knotted knots.
11:50 Perfect, thank you.
11:53 Cool.
11:54 Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and continue to here.
11:58 So you can see how I sectioned it below the crown right up to the very tip of the ear.
12:04 It's not behind the ear because if we take it too far behind the ear, then it's really
12:10 meant to just face frame the front.
12:14 The back has its own irregularity.
12:16 Alright, so I've done it all throughout the back, just big sections, 4 to 5, something
12:24 so easy for you to do at home just to make sure that you have a couple of things in hand,
12:29 the right product and the right iron size.
12:32 And it looks like you don't have to have completely perfect sections either, right?
12:37 Yeah, you know that's a really cool thing that I love about what's happening right now
12:43 because there's so many different types of textures and so many different types of curls.
12:49 What's exciting right now is to make many different textures.
12:52 So you need your products and you also just need your hands and a hot tool to create movement.
13:01 But if you were looking for something a little bit more structured and shine and more retro
13:05 and glossy, that's a whole different something else.
13:12 In this one, I'm just using my hands as my tools.
13:17 In the front, I'm using the same type of technique throughout my middle part.
13:23 You can see that the direction of the curl is going forward because as I brush it out,
13:30 I want it to have this kind of like open, this C-shape opening right above the eyebrow
13:36 and then have the waves fall under.
13:39 So this one is going forward and then on this side, it's going forward also.
13:49 If you were to roll it going back, you'll get it more flat, flat in front.
13:54 So I want it to have a little bit of lift, so I'm just over-directing it forward.
13:59 We've got a couple people just joining in.
14:01 They're asking what products you're using and what products you currently use to prep
14:05 your hair with.
14:06 Cool.
14:07 So, hi guys.
14:08 So the products I'm using today is, I started off with a little bit of run through on the
14:15 ends to help detangle the hair from Orbit Hair Care.
14:19 This is amazing.
14:21 This is so cool.
14:22 And then a little bit analyzing the hair on the ends, I used a little bit of Super Shine
14:28 Moisture, light Super Shine Light Moisturizing Cream, just a little bit right here to protect
14:34 the hair from the heat and then a little bit of Maximisa just to kind of give me the extra
14:39 little fold.
14:45 And now to set the hair, a light spray of Impermeable, spraying it up.
14:54 You can see that just like a little bit of the spraying, the hair texture change.
15:00 And I mean, and also when you hit it with heat and iron it, it's just going to enhance
15:05 it just a little bit more.
15:09 All right.
15:13 On the top, I'm using a 3/4.
15:15 Now I'm changing my iron because I want it irregular.
15:19 If I were to use the same size, it's all going to be the same.
15:25 And what size did you use before?
15:28 For the bottom right here, I used an inch.
15:31 So right here, these little areas right here, Trinity already has natural little bends right
15:39 here, so I'm going to keep it.
15:41 It's not up to me and that's what's great about if we educate our clients, like all
15:45 these little natural hairlines are here, those are great because if we straighten them, it's
15:50 going to go flat.
15:51 So keep it, you know, and use your hands to kind of blend the two different textures.
16:00 I'm going to turn this way.
16:03 So right here, I'm going to elevate the hair, hit it at the base and do a light twist.
16:13 Hold onto your tail, making sure that the mids and the ends get the most amount of heat.
16:21 Hold the tail and then bring it through.
16:28 You can see the other side is going forward and this side is going forward also.
16:34 Let it drop.
16:40 Use a duckbill clip and just place it.
16:49 In this hairstyle, you'll see a combo of different curls and, you know, I'm using the top crown
16:56 right now so you can see that you can, afterwards you can use all different types of setting,
17:05 ways of setting hair to create the look.
17:18 Your hands, make sure that you run the products all the way through.
17:23 You know, sometimes our hands have natural oils and that also really nice protection
17:28 brings down all the little flyaways.
17:31 Again, I'm going to twist it lightly, pull it through and I'm not doing it too tight.
17:41 I'm just naturally letting it twist around the iron.
17:45 I know we're just coming out of Fashion Week with today being the last day, so we have
17:49 someone asking if this was a look for a show that you've done this season.
17:55 Yes, the look I'm doing right now is for a presentation that I did for a show called
18:01 Sank a Set at New York.
18:04 It was the beginning.
18:05 It was a bright sunny day, so this is perfect.
18:09 And Cindy's asking what product were you just spraying in the hair.
18:13 The product I was just spraying in the hair is our anti-humidity spray.
18:17 It's called Impermeable.
18:20 I'm just going to do one more and then we're going to get to the bottom.
18:41 What's important for me is when we're doing the show is how the hair lasts during the
18:47 presentation.
18:50 Sometimes we need to use more of creams products like the Super Shine or Impermeable.
19:00 Some models who have very, very straight hair, I would go straight to Maximista, rough dry
19:07 it and do a double layer just to make sure that the product and the power of the product
19:13 with the iron sets in for the show.
19:18 And Beth is asking where exactly are you placing the clips.
19:23 Clip placement is at the base of the hair and it's just pointed.
19:31 Here, let me show you.
19:33 I'm placing the clips not on top but at the roots.
19:43 So the direction of the curl is going forward.
19:47 My next direction of the curl, I'm going to start in the front.
19:58 This is already beautiful.
19:59 I'm going to leave this out and it's in the shorter little pieces of that that will just
20:03 naturally blend in.
20:05 I'm going to use my iron.
20:09 A little bit of Impermeable.
20:11 Use my iron.
20:12 This is going forward and now I'm going to take, I'm just going to clean this up just
20:19 a little bit and I'm going to lightly go backwards.
20:25 So I'm shifting the direction of my set.
20:29 And Sarah's asking how long do you leave the curls pinned for?
20:34 The question was how long do I leave the pins for?
20:38 That's a great question.
20:40 To me it's about the length and the density and the texture of the hair.
20:44 If it's highlighted and you can see that the hair is holding really well, you can leave
20:52 it up to like 5 minutes, you can leave it up to like 10 minutes.
20:57 But if it's very long and there's a lot of down weight to the hair, I would leave it
21:03 on a little bit more.
21:05 But to me, leaving the heat is important and your products are important to keep the body
21:10 of the hair.
21:11 It just helps support your style.
21:17 Alright, almost there.
21:26 So again, the first section is rolled forward and now the section is going to be twisted
21:32 backwards.
21:33 Now, would you do any different type of pre-prep for someone that has Asian texture hair or
22:00 something that's more curl resistant?
22:03 Because I find sometimes with that texture of hair it's really difficult to hold a good
22:09 curl.
22:10 Yes, that's when product comes in.
22:13 Structure products, we have our Volumista, Maximista.
22:17 What I like to do is the prep work is to go straight to each, just spray lightly with
22:25 Maximista, rough dry it, and then go back and do another layer.
22:30 And you'll just find that doing a second layer just gives you that extra little punch, hold
22:37 texture.
22:38 It's really incredible.
22:39 Maximista is just such an incredible product.
22:44 It's a hair thickening lotion.
22:46 You're going to see a lot of shine from it.
22:48 You can do multitudes of styles with this.
22:52 And with our editorial, Silas and our team, this is one of our favorites.
22:56 Yeah, I feel like you guys have been talking about that product a lot during fashion week.
23:00 Everyone's been using it.
23:01 It's been a very key star product.
23:04 It is a star product on many different levels because it works so great with so many different
23:10 textures and also how it reacts to heat, how the hair feels.
23:17 It gives the hair so much confidence, but most of all it thickens and it makes everything
23:21 come just more fuller.
23:24 So that's why we love it.
23:25 I think I need to get some of that.
23:26 Yeah, it's great.
23:27 Great.
23:28 And Jennifer is asking, "What is the reasoning for changing the shift in the curl direction?"
23:33 The reason for myself to change and shift the curl direction is that if I were to curl
23:39 each section in the same direction, it's going to give me the same result.
23:46 And in this look, I want it to be more airy.
23:49 I want the curls to interact with each other and almost create more body because it's combining
24:02 the both.
24:03 And if it was in the same direction, you'll get the same kind of look.
24:11 The natural beauty of it is that curly hair has multitudes of curls.
24:17 So I'm kind of working with that and thinking that way.
24:22 And Sarah is asking, "Would you recommend combing the hair prior to putting the spray
24:27 before the iron?"
24:31 That's a great question.
24:32 Would I recommend combing the hair?
24:34 I think, again, it goes back to yes, but sometimes it's nice to just work with your hands.
24:40 You don't necessarily have to use a brush to stretch everything out, but it's just really
24:45 nice to use your hands because once you use your hands, you can read and feel the hair,
24:50 the texture, the density, and you can almost feel what you're creating balance and you're
24:55 creating elasticity.
24:57 You can read it more than a brush or comb.
25:04 So right here, this is...
25:09 See the pin falls out and it holds.
25:12 So that's a really good, good gauge that everything is working nicely.
25:19 I think it's also very important that testing out curl.
25:27 If we're unsure, if the hair is very, very silky and we're unsure of the holding power,
25:34 before you drop all your pins, do a test curl.
25:39 You can see the cooling aspect of how the hair holds, so a test curl is great.
25:45 Now I'm going back and bringing it forward.
25:54 And right now, you can see that my elevation is a little bit further away from the scalp
26:00 because I'm not looking for too much volume right behind the ear.
26:10 I know you're about to use it, so we've got a lot of questions on the spray that you're
26:21 using.
26:22 Yes.
26:23 My impermeable is what I'm using right now.
26:25 I'm using my hands to bring the texture and the luster through.
26:31 You can feel that it's not sticky.
26:33 Impermeable is such a dry spray.
26:37 It's incredible.
26:38 Yes.
26:39 Oh yeah.
26:40 And that's what most of our clients...
26:43 Some clients like their hair to feel like structure into the hair, while most likes
26:48 it just to kind of give a memory.
26:53 It's so light and touchable.
26:57 We've got someone asking again, wanting to know the name of what you would call this
27:13 style.
27:14 The name of this style is Trinity's Twisted Barrel Curl.
27:21 No, to me, it would just be a twisted barrel curl with root direction.
27:32 Yeah.
27:33 Okay, so since I've already prepped everything, I'm going to let this side cool a little bit.
28:01 I'm going to let this side cool a little bit.
28:08 Okay.
28:09 So I'm going to let this side cool a little bit.
28:20 Since we're dropping the back, it's really, really important to untwist it.
28:38 Use your hands to break through.
28:40 You can actually break it through like that.
28:50 Just to make sure that the curl is there.
28:55 Okay.
28:58 So untwist.
29:00 We have about five.
29:01 Untwist, making sure all the hair comes out.
29:07 Use your hands to pull out the wave.
29:17 And then right now is when you would want to test the hair, test the curl, making sure
29:22 that the holding power is there, there's enough, the moisture is left, it's out, and making
29:32 sure that it's the texture and the curl that you want.
29:41 We have someone noticing the braided section underneath.
29:43 Can you go over that part again?
29:46 Yeah.
29:47 Before, what I did before, this is a hidden braid, and what it does is I'm taking, it
29:54 just cuts my time in half.
29:57 It's a great technique to use if somebody has very, very long hair and you want to hide
30:05 it.
30:06 So what it does is it's a cornrow that I did, and not too, too structured, just a little
30:12 bit more natural, and I pinned it close to the head.
30:15 So what's going to be really exposed is just the top.
30:18 So it's a great way to hide a lot of length.
30:24 It's a time saver.
30:26 Yeah, it's great.
30:31 I often use it a lot on the shows or when I'm shooting because it is a huge time saver.
30:41 And it's also a great way to attach things to it, too.
30:44 You can attach extra hair.
30:47 If the hair is really, really fine on the bottom, if you want to do a hidden braid on
30:51 the bottom and do an attachment of wefts or do an attachment of clip-ins or something
30:59 just to give more body or a different color to the hair, that could be a fun way to utilize
31:05 the hidden braid.
31:13 One more.
31:14 And I actually have a question for you, Ken.
31:19 I've never seen these hairpins.
31:21 I've never seen these.
31:23 Yeah, these are extra, extra large.
31:26 But they're curved.
31:28 They're curved and they're fedoras.
31:31 We often use them at the Orbez studio and all our stylists have them.
31:36 Where would you get them?
31:38 These ones you can get at Delorme in Paris, or you can actually get them online.
31:45 But what's great about this, they're extra large and they curve and there's no ridges.
31:51 They're great to just pin up and hold your French twists or hold little hairs like this,
31:57 do figure eights.
31:58 They're a great tool.
31:59 Yeah, I've never seen those.
32:00 Those are really cool.
32:01 We'll have to give you a whole bunch.
32:02 I know.
32:03 Do I have to go to Paris to get them?
32:04 No, we'll get you some.
32:05 Okay, good.
32:06 How are you doing?
32:07 I'm good.
32:08 I'm excited.
32:15 Yeah, awesome.
32:16 So as I'm pulling through the hair, there's no stiffness.
32:24 It should be light and airy.
32:25 I'm feeling and breaking up the hair and looking for the body and volume and just breaking up
32:35 a little bit of the curl.
32:43 I'm going to drop this side.
32:46 You can see how it's just like all different types of waves.
32:51 The shine is really important.
32:55 So at the show, this is when, before we took it down, this is when the girls go to makeup.
33:01 And once they come back, then we just open it up and we use our hands to place things,
33:08 place the curl.
33:10 And also we're going to do the dry waves.
33:26 I'm here with Mandy, one of our educators.
33:29 She jumped in, so Mandy was also on the show too.
33:35 And we work as a team to kind of get things going.
33:38 She's going to help take things down so that you can see.
33:48 And why do you choose to go through the curls with your hands and not a brush?
33:52 That's a great question.
33:53 Why do I like to use my hands instead of the brush?
33:58 Because two different types of curls.
33:59 If I were to brush it, the curl, the look is going to be blended.
34:06 So I'm using my hands right now just to kind of break up the waves right now.
34:09 And then I'm going to reshape the top layer with the dry wave technique.
34:18 But you can.
34:19 You can use a brush if you're looking for more of a blended curl.
34:26 So, which I'm going to do now.
34:36 I'm going to use the top.
34:39 I'm just going to pull out my top sections right here.
34:47 And I'm only going to blend the very top, the front layer, the front face framing.
34:52 The back I'm going to keep and do dry waves and blend the two textures together.
35:03 You can see the hands picked and then this is the look of a brush.
35:18 Brushing it out, there's a couple of things.
35:19 It feels nice and clean.
35:23 There's a lot of power to the curl.
35:25 So it's confident.
35:29 Feels good.
35:37 You notice I'm only brushing out the top of the brow.
35:42 I love how airy it looks.
35:45 Yes, it should be nice and airy, bouncy.
35:49 That was the look that we were going for.
36:01 She's on top of the roof and there's a lot of movement.
36:05 All the little natural textures that I see, it is a texture and it was purposely placed.
36:13 So it's nice to keep a lot of that.
36:17 It's really pretty.
36:20 You can see that each section as I'm moving out, I'm brushing out.
36:24 It's creating that kind of C wave, which we're going to enhance.
36:36 I'm using a mason to brush out and I'm using the very tip.
36:39 I'm not using the full brush to brush.
36:43 I'm just using the tip.
36:45 Again, if you want to save your curl, you brush on top.
36:53 If you want to blend, you brush top and bottom.
36:57 I like that tip.
37:00 Cool.
37:19 So this is kind of like, I'm going to go in and break up my middle section.
37:42 Then I'm going to go ahead and spray a little bit of Royal Blowout.
37:45 You can see the power of the curl.
37:48 This is going to hold.
37:50 Now just top layer using Royal Blowout.
38:02 Spraying it through.
38:03 You can see a lot of light reflection just on the top crown.
38:07 Now we're going to blend the top and the bottom together so it's a little bit more eased.
38:23 The next part is a technique that we're teaching our classes in LA, Miami, at the New York
38:32 Studios at the Orbit JTM, Journey to Mastery classes.
38:39 It's drying waves.
38:43 What I'm doing is I set the hair and now I want to push in the ridges and change the
38:53 look to more dry, flat waves.
38:58 What you're going to do is read the sea waves.
39:11 The first section is going to be flip your iron upside down, go inside, take your tail
39:23 comb, make your first C going forward, or going backwards.
39:29 You can see the C. Before you drop it out, the comb is right on top.
39:43 You can see the second C.
39:50 What's important in this takeaway is that you don't clamp and straighten out your first
39:56 ridge.
39:57 You want to allow yourself to move down the comb a little bit so that your iron goes in
40:08 and do another C.
40:09 I love that technique.
40:10 I've never seen that done before.
40:14 It's really, really nice.
40:16 You can actually use this technique all over the head.
40:20 You can use different little parts of it just to enhance around the face.
40:24 That's what we're doing today.
40:25 You can see that I'm using my comb to direct the hair around the plate so you can see the
40:34 second C. There's my second C. I'm going to go in.
40:45 Here's my first C.
40:46 I'm going to do another backward C.
40:47 These ends you can grab, re-comb, look for your wave, and just go in.
41:13 Look for your wave and do another C right there.
41:18 April's asking what heat setting is your iron on.
41:26 That's a great question.
41:27 The heat setting right now is on high.
41:39 I'm going to grab a little bit from the bottom
41:50 and blend the two textures.
41:58 Next section is to connect.
42:12 It is a middle parting so when you're doing this technique it will not match up in the
42:17 back because it's a middle parting.
42:21 If you wanted to do something a little bit more retro, a little bit more consistent all
42:26 around, the side parting is where it's going to go full.
42:29 You'll show the ridge.
42:30 Since it is a middle parting, it won't connect in the back, which is cool.
42:36 It doesn't always have to connect.
42:38 It's just really natural.
42:42 Right there.
42:43 It's my first wave.
42:44 It's going to hit right there.
42:45 I'm going to put a little bit of oil.
42:56 You can see that with all the structured products, a little bit of mist of royal blow is going
43:01 to blow out.
43:02 It's going to calm it, which is really nice.
43:03 That's a finishing product?
43:10 It could be a finishing product.
43:11 It could be a prepping product.
43:15 It's a light, light air mist of oils to help to tame, frizz, to help to enhance texture,
43:23 heat protectant.
43:26 It's an amazing blowout, but I love it with hot tools.
43:30 You can flat iron with it.
43:34 The performance of it is incredible because how it sprays out.
43:39 That's also important when you're working with styling hair and looking for many finishes.
43:45 It's how the product and the bottles, how it touches the hair.
43:52 It's a light, airy mist.
43:56 Teresa's asking how thick are your sections?
43:59 How thick are my sections?
44:02 About that thickness.
44:04 It can't be about an inch to an inch and a half.
44:10 That's my first section right here.
44:12 I'm going to go in.
44:13 You can see that ridge right there.
44:14 I'm going to go in and then using my comb to roll and create a ridge.
44:29 Arms are parallel and using your comb, putting the comb right underneath the Marcel.
44:39 You can see that's matching.
44:42 The comb is still inside.
44:43 I'm going to drag it down just a little bit, look for my ridge right there and go in and
44:50 follow this ridge.
44:54 I take it that comb is a heat resistant comb?
45:09 It's a heat resistant comb.
45:11 It has to be.
45:12 You have to use it because you're teaching.
45:14 You don't want the comb to melt or do anything crazy.
45:26 You could probably utilize this technique with different sizes of irons as well?
45:31 Yes, you can definitely use all different types of iron sizes to do this technique.
45:37 The smaller the iron, the stronger the ridge.
45:41 A bigger iron will give it more of a looseness.
45:49 You can do all different types.
45:53 I'm going to use clips to hold it in shape.
46:09 On the opposite side, I'm going to do the same.
46:20 This is Royal Blowout, a light mist.
46:23 This is a lot.
46:24 This is very nice and light.
46:25 Right here, my first ridge going towards the face.
46:45 Take the comb on the bottom, click, pull the comb just a little bit lower, look for the
46:56 second C shape.
47:08 Take your comb to make sure the shape is in the C.
47:33 Then the textures.
47:42 Cool?
47:47 It looks incredible.
47:58 This look you can do, take bits and parts of it.
48:03 Maybe just do the top crown and do a low chignon in the back.
48:08 A low ponytail and just do the top crown.
48:11 Change your partings and that will completely change the look also.
48:22 You can also do this technique on straight hair too.
48:25 It will be a little bit more flat.
48:28 I saw a question on Facebook.
48:42 Someone wants to know if you offer hands-on classes.
48:47 We do.
48:48 We have hands-on classes at Oribe Studios in New York, Miami, and LA.
48:58 Our Journey to Mastery classes, chapter one is the foundations of setting.
49:05 It's eight to ten ways how to set hair and working with all different types of textures.
49:12 Curly hair, African American hair, straight hair, curly hair, super curly hair, and loosening
49:18 up.
49:19 There are so many different ways and techniques in curling hair.
49:24 I want to use Royal again to loosen it up.
49:28 I'm going to blend the two textures again.
49:31 Take this down and then we're going to brush it out.
49:48 You can see that it's a little bit more shapely down here and then the back is a little bit
49:52 more natural.
49:53 The look for the show is ethereal.
50:11 It's light, airy.
50:14 This is a little bit too retro-ish for me so I'm going to brush it forward.
50:22 It's a little bit more rigid, which is a different look.
50:34 Brush it away, blend the two textures.
50:40 You'll notice I'm only brushing the top.
50:42 I'm not brushing all the way.
50:44 Only the surface of the style.
50:47 Wow, that looks incredible.
50:51 It's also important to go underneath and brush and blend.
51:06 Last thing, do a light massage.
51:16 To give it more of an airy look, I finished everything off with a little bit of Swept
51:22 Up.
51:23 Swept Up is an incredible product because our Global Ambassador James helped produce
51:29 this one.
51:30 We were looking for a powder that was a high quality powder.
51:36 Something that is going to soak up the oils but also use it as a styling tool.
51:42 It's a light, airy pump.
51:47 You can spray it right on top to soak up all the oils.
51:54 What's important is that it has a light, homemade feel to it.
52:00 The hair just grows.
52:02 You can place it at the roots, place it in your hands.
52:11 Pat through.
52:15 It will help hold and expand the hair.
52:18 I feel like it's a little bit more workable than a lot of the powders out there.
52:26 It's not tacky.
52:27 It really has a little bit of holding power.
52:34 I love that it's not overly.
52:37 What's great about it is that it's completely invisible.
52:42 Can we have someone asking the name of the product that you're currently using?
52:48 We are using Swept Up from Orbe Hair Care.
52:53 I'm just going to go a little bit more.
52:57 Clap, clap, clap.
53:03 To blend the two textures.
53:10 You'll notice all these airy little things that are popping up.
53:17 It's actually what I'm looking for.
53:20 At home or if you're doing an event or something like a red carpet and if you don't want to
53:26 use the fuzzy, then you would use a different type of texture.
53:29 You can use shine reflecting spray.
53:31 You can use gold lust to make it a little bit more of a down weight with a little bend.
53:37 For the show, I wanted all this ethereal texture and I decided to use Swept Up.
53:48 I love that depending on the finishing product, you can really utilize this technique in so
53:53 many different ways.
53:54 I think that's really cool.
53:55 Here you go.
53:56 This is the first thing to set.
53:57 Wow.
53:58 It looks amazing.
53:59 I've been stalking this guy's work for a very, very long time.
