Tips & Trends: How to achieve big hair

This season's hottest hair trend is big. That is, big, blown out curls.

Achieving this trend takes a little time, a little effort, and a lot of product. Kathy Simon, Schwarzkopf Professional Canadian Essential Looks ambassador, says there are five steps to bolder hairstyles.

1. Apply a volumizing base product to wet hair. A mousse like Professional OSiS Volume Shot by Schwarzkopf will do the trick.

2. Use a large barrel round brush to blow dry hair, only instead of letting the section of hair drop, re-curl and pin it up with a bobby pin. Continue this step until all sections of the hair are curled and pinned.

3. Spray a flexible hairspray all around to set the hair. Then, take some time to allow hair to cool off. Have breakfast, put on your makeup or get dressed.

4. Next, remove all the bobby pins, flip your hair upside down and give it a gentle shake.

5. Finally, flip your hair back up and begin to style with your fingers and some hairspray.

To give the style an extra kick of glamour, you can choose to finish the look with a shine spray, like OSiS Sparkler instead of the usual hairspray. Also, Simon suggests, if you have hot rollers, you can use these instead of the round brush and bobby pins.

"Big hair is a key trend on the runway this season," says Simon. "We feel it will also be a big hit on the streets."
