Design Tips
Make styling a graduated haircut on short, medium and long hair is not difficult. You will need no more than 10 minutes to put the “Olympia” on the hair of minimum length.
So, comb clean hair and dry with a hairdryer. We lay the front strands back and abundantly cover the entire hair with varnish for fixation.
For special occasions from the milled curls, you can create the effect of wet locks. For this you will need styling products (gel, wax). We apply a large amount of gel on clean hair and form curls with our hands along the entire length. Next, fix them with varnish. Careless styling looks very stylish and feminine.
