How do you get scrunched hair that holds the shape?
Question Posted Thursday November 13 2008, 9:00 pm
I have medium length, thick and wavy blond hair. I was wondering how you get scrunched hair that keeps its shape and that looks like wet curls. I love hair like that and I can never get mine to stay. I bought Herbal Essences curl scrunching gel and it doesn't do what I want it to do. Any help would be wonderful.

BAD IDEA! what i do now (and it works) is i straighten my hair (starting off dry) and then i put some Loreal Paris Studio Styling Gel in my hair, and scrunch it, then put hairspary in it, so it will stay throughout the day. by the way, the gel is also melting gel. trust me it works! email me at mbtokio101@gmail.com [ maria4eva's advice column | Ask maria4eva A Question ]

1. Any type of gel, and make sure you get RAVE hairspray because it does a wonderful job on holding the hair wet and scrunchyy..Trust me..
--MAke sure your hair wet, and apply gel all over it...SCRUNCH SCRUNCH SCRUNCH, you hair all over...( i dont flip my hair over...because my hair is too thick and gets puffy) After your done scrunch'in your hair Just apply hairspray.. ALL OVER your hair!!!!!!! Rave will hold you hair wet looking and very scrunchy!!! :)) and this shouldn't cost you more than 5$!!!!
2. Get Nexxium Mousse,Goergous Curls.. With this you dont need gel or anything, it will hold the hair perfectly...and it smells AMAZING!!!!
--With your hair wet..apply the mousse all over...scrunch ittt!!!!! LEt it air dry or use a diffuser(this will give you beautiful curls and its 10$)!!!
Good luck<3 [ babezz20's advice column | Ask babezz20 A Question ]

1. after a shower, or wetting your hair, wait until it's damp, but before it starts getting "poufy" take any "strong hold gel" and apply evenly through out the hair. i use pantene products, they seem to work the best with my hair and they smell good! Pantene Style is the gel.
2. wait about 5/10 minutes for it to settle in, it should become less damp, and apply any mousse ( i use infusium23, but TRESemme has the best mousse in my opinion) evenly. At this point after applying mousse, you need to scrunch your hair from the bottom and style it the way you want.
3. when you're done styling it, take strong hold hair spray and spray it on every inch of your hair. i think Herbal Essenses Finishing Mist works AMAZING!.
I know it's a lot, but i have unmanagable hair, and this is the only way i can keep it scrunched.

What i usually do is get a shower, let it towel dry for about 10 minutes or so. Then i blow dry it a bit, but i DONT fully dry it. then, when my bangs are dry and when its not TOTALLY wet then i usually use sprunch by aussie and scrunch it, and go upside down spray it, and scrunch more until i think it looks okay :]
I also use hairspray by sprunch to get it even more curly, you can do that too if you wish
