3D CURLS THAT BOUNCE

Warning: Be prepared to drown in some serrrrrrrrious curl envy.
We got the juice on how Chicago based Mizani Artist Al Alexander created these sumptuous healthy curls that bounce, so that you could too.

I didn't believe Al at first when he said "the process is really simple"; but he has won me over. It's all in the technique and the right tools and products.

STEP 1
Start by prepping sections of hair with 25 Miracle Milk and Thermasmooth Style & Style Again.

STEP 2
Wrap medium sections of hair around a 1 inch barrel Marcel curling iron, twisting each section as you wrap.
#TLPROTIP: This is the signature Mizani 3D Coil technique. 

STEP 3
Spray hair generously with Mizani's Lived-In Finishing Spray and gently fingercomb throughout.
#TLPROTIP: This spray is the key to unlocking that voluminous bounce as sported by model Nik Stewart in the photos above.

STEP 4
Set the shape in place with HRM to combat against frizz and humidity. You don't want to lose all your hard work an hour or two after you step outside!

STEP 5
Final touch, because we know it's all in the details! Grab a boar bristle toothbrush and Lived-In Sculpting Paste to artfully tame any baby hairs.

Et voila! You have served yourself with 3D curls that bounce - Al Alexander style.
