How to Style A Sleek Middle Parting with Charles Rose
For Flynn’s look, I wanted to showcase his natural curls while creating a sleek, polished focal point with his fringe. Here’s how I achieved it:
- Firstly, I started by applying STMNT’s Serum to Flynn’s hair, working it through with a comb. This not only helped condition the hair but also acted as a cutting aid as I removed several inches of length to bring out the natural curl.
- Next, I applied STMNT’s Curl Cream, scrunching it into the ends of the hair to further define and enhance the curls.
- I then dried the hair in stages. First up, I blow-dried the fringe forward, smoothing and straightening it to create a sleek middle parting.
- For the remainder of the hair, I used a diffuser on low heat to lock in the curls and maintain the hair’s natural texture.
How to Style Slicked Back Waves with Ry Lewis
When restyling Flynn’s look, I wanted to create a different type of contrast between the top of Flynn’s head and the curls underneath:
- I began by saturating the hair with STMNT Grooming Spray. This allowed me to easily restyle the parting, shifting it from the middle to a sharp side part. I then added more STMNT Curl Cream to enhance the curls before lightly diffusing the hair.
- While the hair was still slightly damp, I applied STMNT’s Fiber Pomade, brushing it into one side to slick it down and tuck it neatly behind the ear.
- For the flipped-over section on the top, I lightly sprinkled in STMNT’s Wax Powder to boost volume and add a textured lift.
- After a final dry with the diffuser, I completed the style with a light mist of STMNT Hairspray to ensure lasting hold.
