Hi, I'm Liz. I'm a hairstylist, and today I'm going to show you how to get an undone look for short hair. The tools we're going to be using are a blow dryer, salt spray and a diffuser attachment for the blow dryer. So first we're going to start by just applying the salt spray. The salt spray really helps to add texture to the hair. It's a great product for everyone to have no matter what your hair texture. So I'm just spraying it around evenly throughout the hair. You don't want your hair to be sopping wet with it but even moisture is good. So now that we have it in the hair, a great way to activate the salt spray is just by kind of scrunching it into the hair. Okay so once you get it worked into the hair, we're going to put our diffuser nozzle onto the blow dryer and we're going to put our blow dryer on high heat and low speed, very important. If you put it on high speed, it's going to make the hair go everywhere. It work s a little bit better if it's on low speed. So when blow drying with the diffuser, you're just going to hold it against the head, using your fingers to kind of scrunch through the hair as you're moving around the head. You don't want to be too rough with it but you do just kind of want to give it that nice tousled look and you can kind of place the hair as you're going along. So once you get your hair nice and dry, just kind of run your hands through it, work it through. You don't want to mess with it too much because again this is an undone look, work it through. The sea salt spray gives it a nice texture. And there you have it, an undone look on short hair. Thanks for watching.
