Redway provides an intimate glimpse into her personal styling process. Find out her top secret for creating gorgeous curls that begins long before you even start styling. She stresses the importance of protecting hair strands and locking in moisture in order to achieve the best results.
The Pre-Styling Ritual
Per Redway, the secret to getting the most flawless curly look lies in your pre-styling routine. To get used to the joint, she instructs her patients to tilt their head forward for 20 seconds. Then she has them lay back for an additional 20 seconds. This quick turn keeps the curl in place while they’re shaping it into that big curl.
Following this first move, she recommends clients simply tilt their heads in the direction of one shoulder, then the other for 20 seconds each. “You want to protect your strands before styling and lock moisture into your hair, which will give you the best results,” she states. While ensuring hair is protectively in place, this practice primes up the hair shaft for a more defined curl.
Sectioning the Hair
After she finishes her pre-styling prep, Redway uses clip-in hair extensions while sectioning the hair. She methodically sections the hair into quarters. This is helpful in giving her more control and ensuring that each section receives the same amount of focus in styling.
“I section the hair into four quadrants and then massage the curl cream into the hair,” Redway explains. Utilizing this method allows the product to be evenly distributed and allows for the curl definition to pop so that it is easier to maintain and style.
The Final Touches
Redway works the curl cream through each section of hair. He leaves no curl questioned by thoroughly defining each curl and preventing any frizz from escaping. She treats each of the four quadrants as an independent entity as she cuts, employing techniques that serve her clients’ distinct and unique hair textures and styles.
Her clients appreciate her depth of expertise as well as superior attention to detail. It’s this commitment that keeps them drop dead gorgeous every day – on the red carpet and beyond. Redway’s expertise integrates professional level artistry with superior professional products. As a result, she’s frequented by the biggest names in Hollywood who require nothing less than perfect curls from her.
