This style, worn by a woman who is over sixty years of age, is cut so that it makes the most of her fine, thin hair. It is tapered close in the nape area and around the ears. The hair at the ears and in the neckline is texturized so that it has a soft fringy effect – creating soft feminine lines instead of hard masculine lines. Hair lengths range from a quarter inch in the neckline and above the ears to about one and one half to two inches in length in the crown of the hair style. It may be slightly longer at the temples to cover thin areas.
- Shampoo and condition with products that are formulated for your hair texture. This model used body building products formulated for fine hair.
- An ample amount of body building styling foam was applied to towel blotted hair.
- Her hair was dried quickly with a blow dryer, and directed into form with a narrow vent brush.
- When her hair was thoroughly dry, an narrow flat iron was used to increase fullness and to create a small amount of curl. The flat iron is first applied to the base of a hair strand. It is smoothly pulled out to the end of the strand forming a curve or large curl. A flat iron is useful for curling hair because the curls that are formed do not curl completely over as they do when using a curling iron. The heat from the flat iron also helps to produce a smooth, shiny appearance in the style.
