40's Glamour with a 70's Twist/Retro Curls

Begin with clean dry hair
Heat two small curling irons (a 1/2 inch barrel and a 3/4 inch barrel).
Start at the nape spraying Pureology ColourStylist FortifyingHeatSpray protective primer before curling each 1 inch sized section with the smaller iron first. Continue until the entire nape is set.
Switch to the larger 3/4 inch iron and continue curling until you are 2 inches from your part line and stop leaving the roots straight.
Place long clips at the line of separation between curls and straight hair and give an all over mist of ColourStylist StrengtheningControl zero dulling hairspray.
Let hair set for 15 minutes. Add heat if possible (a heater or diffuser will work).
Emulsify a pea-sized amount of ColourStylist CuticlePolisher with two sprays of ColourStylist RadianceAmplifier to create a polishing serum.
From the bottom up, run fingers through the set to break up the curls and create voluminous width. Lace or tease under side of the hair for extra volume.
Leaving your long clips in, give a final round of spray and remove the clips to finish the look.
