Hi, I'm Caile Noble, celebrity hairstylist, and today I'm going to show you how to style long hair. One of my favorite looks to see on your long hair, is definitely a little bit more of like a glamorous way. And I'm going to show you how to achieve that look in an easy format. The tools you'll need to achieve this look is pretty simple. Just a curling iron, one inch ferrules, what I'm going to use today. A flat brush, some combs and a hairspray. Today, we're going to be using the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Humidity Hairspray. It's a very simple procedure though, that I'm going to show you how to do today. And, how you're going to do it, is by taking vertical sections with the hair. I'm going to clip hat away, so I can work a little smoother and cleaner. Usually, people when they curl hair at home, they usually go away from the face or towards the face. Today, we're actually going to just curl under, and we're going to use that feature all the way up with your curling iron. So, literally curling this all under. You may not use the Marcel at home, and that's fine, is if you have a spring on your curling iron, it's okay. As you can see, I left the tip of the hair just out, ever so slightly. And then, I just let it fall into place. Now, where the hairspray is going to come into place is, after I do a section, I will then spray that section, so that the hair will set. But once again, going up the head, all curling under. It's like a modern way to a retro set versus pinning it into place. That I have that first section all curled under. I'm then going to go in with the hairspray, and give each section a little spritz. Now, I'll let that set while I'm working into the next section. Now, like I said, I'm going to continue curling the hair. But you're literally just going to keep taking, like pie sections from the head, as you work around. Eventually mirroring the first section right here. Now that you have your hair styled and it's all finished. And you've sprayed it and it's set,and waited for a little bit. Then, you're going to want to go in, and with a wide tooth comb, you're going to want to go in and just start brushing the curls out. Because we don't want the hair to stay like this, we just want to achieve like a nice, soft wave. And you're just going to want to go in, combing the hair out, leaving that wave in the hair. And as you can see, as we comb it out, the hair taking shape. And this is exactly what we want to happen, we want that to have, that hair to have a nice, glamorous wave. And as you work it out more and more, brushing it through, you'll see it take shape. The reason why I like hair to have a kind of a glamorous wave, is the way that it grabs the light. As you can see here, when it has that nice wave in it, it just really shows a nice shine and depth in the hair. Which is really great, when you have long hair. So, one you brush it and set it in place, as I showed you before. When you keep working it out, they just kind of start forming into the shape that you want. And now that I've set it all in place, I just like to go in, pat to any flyaways, and set the style. As you can see, the hair just has a nice shine, and just really well bouncy, because you have the length. And that's how you style long hair. I'm Caile Noble, thank you for watching.
