- Hi, I'm Jess Clements
and this is how I do voluminous curls.
(gentle upbeat music)
So I wanted to start by saying
that I recently bleached my hair this color
from a really dark brown.
So a lot of these products are really focused
on breakage and hair health,
so I hope you guys are buckled up and ready for that
because that's what we're getting into here.
Before I get into the shower I always spray my hair
with the Aquis Prime Water Defense Prewash.
This just helps prevent breakage
and strengthens your hair when it's wet.
Over the past year and a half or so
I tried so many different
shampoo and conditioner combinations
to try to find one that I really, really loved.
And I always found myself coming back to Redken.
I've been using the bleach recovery line
and, oh my God, it's so good.
And I only wash my hair two to three times a week.
Only get it wet two to three times a week,
just because I'm trying to prevent breakage
as much as possible.
And after the shampoo, I also use the Recovery Water,
the Lamellar Water from that same line.
And then I put that in my hair,
use my Tangle Teezer to very, very gently brush out my hair
so that it's all smooth, no tangles,
and that that water is really incorporated
throughout all of my hair.
And I'm still figuring out the purple shampoo
purple conditioner treatment, et cetera world.
But I've recently been using
the Amica Bust Your Brass Intense Repair Mask.
I think this is probably gonna be it
'cause I tried like three or four
different products already
and this has been my favorite so far,
so I'm probably gonna stick to this.
So, that being said, a couple other things
I use in the shower are things for my dermatitis.
I get scalp dermatitis and I never ever shower
before I go to bed or sleep on wet hair
because it always, always, always causes
my dermatitis to flare up.
One of my favorite things for preventing it
is the Drunk Elephant Happi Scalp Scrub,
and this is an AHA/BHA blend that exfoliates away
some of the dead skin and stuff on your scalp.
I find that using this once a week
or even once every other week
really helps me prevent any scalp issues.
And when I do have a flare up,
when I do have any sort of issue,
it's so hard to get rid of.
I just use T/Gel.
I had a medicated shampoo from a dermatologist for a while,
but for me personally, I think T/Gel works just as well.
There's really only a couple of products
that I like using for styling my hair.
I don't use a lot of hairspray or things like that.
My favorite is the Color Wow Dream Coat.
Someone actually DM'd me about this,
and I tried like a mini bottle of it
and went through it so quickly.
Really, really adore this.
So I'm gonna spray some of this in my hair to start out.
(gentle upbeat music)
It's probably plenty.
I have a Dyson hair wrap and I typically will just smooth
my hair out or if my hair is like 98% dry
just finish off the drying process with this.
I love the circle brush attachment.
I have to hit the reset button.
(brush whirs)
(gentle upbeat music)
So just- (brush whirs)
I just dried my hair a little bit with that brush
just to dry down the product
before I get a curling wand in there.
My favorite curling iron is the T3 Whirl.
I'm using the larger barrel, I think it's the 1.5 inch.
I'm going to start with taking a small section
of my bangs here and curling it super quickly
just for a couple of seconds here.
I like to shake out the heat
in my curl a little bit before I let it down.
I'm gonna take my bangs on this side as well.
(gentle upbeat music)
And for my front pieces I'll grab one of these
Velcro rollers and then just kind of roll them up
like this as well, just to kind of make sure
that they sit up and stay curled.
And I'll do that for my front pieces as well
with smaller rollers.
So, I take sections about this big
and both of these front pieces I'm going to curl out
and then I'm going to alternate around my head.
(gentle upbeat music)
I don't know if you can see that.
Just bring that in.
Sticking a clip on there, put it on this side.
(gentle upbeat music)
So the rest of my hair I'll just take chunks
about the same size and I'm going to curl this inwards now.
(gentle upbeat music)
And then I'm going to curl the rest of these off-camera
and see you guys in a minute.
Okay, so now that my hair is all curls,
I am going to take these out.
Sometimes I will pin up all of my curls,
but for time's sake I did not do that today.
I'm gonna give my hair a little bit of a shake
before I take my bangs out.
And sometimes I will recurl any top pieces here,
but I think they all look good right now.
And take these out.
I like using the bigger roller on my bangs,
just 'cause it makes it a little bit softer.
I feel like it's a nicer, prettier way for the bang to lay.
From here I typically will use a little bit
of the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
if I feel like I need a little bit more volume
or just want to make my hair feel
like a little bit more worn in textured.
I'm not going to add any today
'cause I really like how my hair is looking.
It's quite soft and I can run my fingers through it
so I'm going to keep it that way, and add some of this
maybe in my second or third day if I want it.
I am going to add a little bit of the Olaplex Bonding Oil
on the ends of my hair
just for a little extra shine.
(gentle upbeat music)
And then when I think there's like none left on my hands,
I'll run it over kind of the front pieces
and the top of my hair too, just for some shine.
And I have one more product that I want to share,
and I'm gonna go grab.
The last product I'm also not...
Actually do I need this?
No, I don't think I need this today.
I'm also not going to use this today.
Well, maybe I will, no, I just, no, no.
The last product I want to talk about,
almost used this today,
is the IGK Coconut Oil Air-Dry Styler.
This stuff is amazing.
It's just like a coconut oil gel.
I put some on my hands.
I'll use it to kind of tame down my flyaways
or if I'm doing like a slicked back bun
or something like that.
It really just slicks everything down.
It makes it really neat, but it never looks crunchy,
which is what I absolutely love.
One last thing I wanted to talk about
since I have been talking about bleaching my hair,
and then I've just used heat tools on it.
Most of the time what I use is this little sausage thing.
This is from Heatless Hair, and I'll put this on my hair
and then just wrap pieces around it like that,
taking a little bit more and wrapping
until I have all of my hair wrapped.
I'll sleep on it, and then I take it out
and it's like the most perfect curl.
It's very similar to this, maybe a little tiny bit tighter,
'cause this is from a larger barrel
than obviously the little thing is.
I do this, I don't know, twice a week,
and then my hair stays curly for like two or three days
until I wash it again.
So that is my entire routine,
thank you guys so much for watching and tuning in.
