Celebrity hairstylist, David Dang, showing you how you can style your curly hair without a blow dryer. Without a blow dryer, that's already cutting half your time down so I'm going to show you how to style your hair without it and this is what we're going to be using, a curling iron, some clips, pins, combs and our mousse. So I'm going to be using the EverStyle Curl Activating Mousse by L'Oreal Paris. So the first step that I've already done is I've already worked with her natural curls and as you can see this is her natural wave here and I've curled the front section with my curling iron. I used an inch curling iron to go ahead and define it a little bit more, very Taylor Swift, very Selena Gomez. So to create the faux bob that I'm going to create, I didn't use any of this back here because it's going to cut down on time. That's what I'm going to roll under and then I'm going to roll from the top. So I'm going to take a little bit of the top section and just finish the curl up here, nothing too much, you don't need too much. It's usually like one or two pieces, go ahead and take your curling iron and then curl. Hold it for about a couple seconds, nothing too long, you definitely don't want any breakage and then just let it go and as you can see you just want to spring it out a little bit, then put it back down and the reason why I'm doing the top of the crown area is because I've already saved time by using her natural curls. There's a lot of body as you can tell, I don't need any more than that because I'm going to put that all under in a bob. Excellent, so once you curl the top it looks kind of like this, a little bit loose just like the front. So you just want to move this to the side. Next what you're going to do is you're going to take this, brush it out if you want to just to get some of the kinks out but again as you can already see, Bionca here has massive volume and that's the thing that we're all jealous about because she has it but we're going to work with it to make that faux bob undulation work. Now once you have this, go ahead and you can either use your rubber band or you can go ahead and bobby pin them down. I'm going to try and bobby pin them down. You just curl this under and stick it up and then clip that in. No maximum or minimum, just basically have the tight hold in there. And as you can see it's already starting to form. And again you don't want to flatten it too much because we want to keep the volume there because it's going to spring out creating like a faux bob. So I'm going ahead and pinning it through the hair but remember a bob is a little bit above the nape, a little bit above the shoulders just to show the effects of a bob. And that's where I like to place it. You can make it a little longer but it gets riskier especially with the fact that her layers are still long here. If they're any shorter it won't be able to cover what we're doing down here. Now you can see we've already got the faux bob going on. That's a lot of action there. Then you want to make it stay a little bit, you're going to use some hairspray. Again, workable hairspray only, nothing too grabbing, nothing too tight, just work it in there. Now from here what you're going to be doing is since you've already curled your top layers, you're going to juzh it out a little bit and what I mean by juzhing it out is take your comb, the finer side and just kind of like teasing it out a little bit and as you can see it's already starting to create bounce and fullness. Now as you can see it's already starting to form this big quaff on your head, good quaff though. Now as you see, it's starting to go ahead and rise up in the back then take your pins and then pin the bottoms in, just work it in there. Now, as you can see she still has more length in the front and that's what we're going to work with but before we work on that we're going to put some mousse in it so that it holds and it's nice and it's not so crunchy. So you're just going to use a little bit of mousse and then from there, you put it together and then just go ahead and put the mousse in, just for hold, nice texture you know, and this is already to the precurl, you can either put it before you're curling, when it's dry, when it's wet. I like to put it in now so that it still holds and gives it more of that, as you can tell, that more layered look. Okay so as you see I still have a little bit at the bottom. You can either put that up or you can either just leave that. It's definitely depending on the style that you want to do. Again I'm just doing a faux bob. It doesn't matter nowadays, you know, just putting it up a little bit more connecting it to the back and voila, it's getting almost like that A line feel, you know, you do that same thing to the other side or you can put that side entirely up and then leave this side entirely down. It just depends on what the drama and what kind of look you're going for, especially what you're wearing too. This look goes with any cocktail dress, you know, especially when you're going on a date even, super simple, super fast. So as you can see, it looks so beautiful and again I left a couple pieces down there because it gives it more of a real feel to it. You know bobs are not really always just like dramatically straight or dramatically here and there, it just needs to be nice and flowy and just beautiful. Alright, and there you have it, that's how you style hair without a blow dryer. This is David Dang, celebrity hairstylist and we'll catch you here next time.
