Superman:

-Make hair VERY wet & use LOTS of gel

-Slick back hair with comb

-Pull small piece of hair forward & wrap it once around your finger and then press to set on forehead!

Harry Potter:

-Use a fine tooth comb to make a side part

-Let dry naturally and use Styling Cream to help hold hair with a natural look

-Lightly tousle w/fingers to encourage a natural wave

Hannah Montana:

-When hair is wet, spray in leave-in conditioner (this will help keep hair straight & will protect hair from heat damage

-Using a paddle or vent brush, blow-dry hair straight.  If needed, use flat iron to make hair really straight.

-Use a dime size amount of styling cream to keep hair smooth & prevent fly-aways

-If you’d like, you can add a few crimps sporadically dispersed around the head by wetting & braiding a very small section. When dry, remove braid, and you’re done!

Princess Tiana:

-Put hair in pony tail & then twist hair around in a circular motion

-To secure, you can use bobby pins or take another elastic & put right over the bun

-For a softer look like the one shown, pull out a few strands of hair before securing bun.      -Use a curling iron with a 1” barrel to curl strands. Use a tiny bit of gel prior to curling iron to help secure curls

-Pull out one very small hair strands right above ea ear to create tendrils.. Curl both strands as directed previously

-Use a small amount of gel to help hold hair back & prevent flyaways

Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz:

-Split hair down the center from front to back

-Dampen hair for ease in braiding

-Begin making a braid approx 1” behind the ear

-Use styling gel on thick hair to help secure & get rid of flyaways, or styling cream for finer hair
