Step 1: Apply mousse or styling spray (try Victoria's Secret So Sexy Volumizing Mousse, $9.50, or Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Volume Blast Styling Spray, $3.79) to the ends of hair and blow-dry, curling ends under with a medium-sized round brush.
Step 2: Create a deep side part. On the side with less hair, curl ends with a curling iron. Hold the curling iron diagonally and angle curls toward the back of the head. Remove the hair from the iron and pin the rolled-up curl while still hot.
Step 3: On the side with more hair, divide hair near your face into three horizontal sections. Use a curling iron to roll hair up toward the scalp, holding the iron horizontally. Take the hair out of the iron and pin hair up while curls are still hot.
Step 4: For hair on the back of your head, curl ends under with a curling iron.
Step 5: Once the front curls have cooled, remove pins. Lightly brush shine serum through hair to soften the curls. Tuck the side with less hair behind your ear and spritz with hairspray.
