Matrix Style Link Volume Builder:  "Add this to damp hair when you are blow-drying section by section," Widlund explains.

Phyto Phytovolume Actif Volumizing Spray: Another great option for boosting volume while blow-dying, says Widlund.

Oribe Après Beach Wave & Shine Spray: "This spray really works well after hair is blow-dried to add a little more of that textured beach hair. It's great for hair that is a little frizzy or dry."

Bumble & Bumble Thickening Hairspray with Bumble & Bumble Dryspun Finish: "Mix these two together—this will give you a l dry texture especially if your hair feels flat and thin."

Kevin Murphy Powder Puff: "This an amazing textured root lifter, rub into your hands and massage through the roots."

Wella Extra Volume Styling Mousse: "It's always smart to blow-dry the hair with mousse in if you are someone that has a lot of cowlicks."

Kevin Murphy Easy Rider: "Just a little of this massaged into the hair gives the perfect tousled shine."

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray: "This is ideal for after you've styled the hair and want that extra dry next-day effect."

L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray: "Always finish with this to make sure the texture holds, especially if your hair is fine or limp. Be sure to massage some of it into the ends for the perfect finishing touch."

 

Oh, and just for fun...now let's see the style in action!
