It makes the process so much smoother!
You want the bottom layer to be super sleek—so think about using this step to maximize your length. "I like to do the nape of the neck straight with the little bend at the bottom," says Newman."That's our longest layer because it's at the bottom. So you want to maximize that length by not giving it curls because a curl, or twist, or bend, which will make it appear shorter.
For those with any curl—from 4C coils to 2A waves—Newman says to start by getting your roots super smooth."While the root is pulled as tight as possible, you need to have heat coming down, completely drying the one inch of hairline completely smooth," he says." If you have straight hair, you don't need to focus on smoothing out your hairline—just go straight to the next step.
"You can then start blow drying over the brush, taking your hand more towards in front of your forehead," says Newman,"and you're going to do lots of that rounding, rounding, rounding with the brush."
