This is my friend's hair at her wedding and I really want to make my hair look like the top part with mega volume. (We have almost the exact same color and length hair by the way). Can any of you hairstylists help me with any tips? thanks so much!!

Well I'm not a hairstylist but I have some suggestions for how to get the top like that...

You'll need two different hairsprays - a volumizing spray and a freezing spray (like Got2B Blasting Freeze)

1. Take a rectangle of hair, one right above your bangs (if you have them, or where you want the poufyness to start) and hold it straight up into the air.

2.Spray some volumizing hairspray on it.

3. Take a rat-tail comb and tease it like crazy!

4. Blast it with some freezing spray

5. Let it dry by letting it kind of "fold over" the front of your head...the hair will probably be covering your eyes and everything and you'll look goofy, but it's a good way to let it dry.

6. Take the second rectagular layer behind the first and repeat.

7. Repeat until you think you have enough hair teased - I usually stop 3-4 layers back.

8. Now your hair should be all dry. If you touch it and it still feels wet, wait until it is completely dry. When it is, gingerly flip it all back. It should look like you have a crazy beehive voluminous crown...all you need to do is smooth it out with a brush and since you teased so many layers it should all stay like that.

A video for reference...just ignore the ponytail part:

tease the crown, leave some hair in the front of the crown unteased, spray hairspray underneath it where you just teased, finger comb the unteased portion over the teased portion and wah lah. this is one of my fave hair styles to do. u get good at it after a couple of practice shots.
