How you actually do puffy scene hair....


Lol so yesterday David thought he knew how to make scene puffy hair……truth is, he had no idea what in the world he was doing. So the other day my friends who had seen pictures of puffy hair asked me how I get it to puff out in the back. Regardless of short or long hair you should still be able to find this tutorial pretty helpful. So to give you an idea this is what we’re sort of aiming for. You can do it puffier or tone it down if you want. So once again.....this is what we're aiming for.
 
Well scene kids normally have quite a few layers in their hair, starting as short from the top and getting longer each layer down (kinda like stairs). So if you hair isn’t layered I Have no idea how this’ll turn out for you. So first off you’ll need a hair dryer, brush, comb, and spray. 
 
You most definitely need a normal comb. Any one will do, I sometimes use my dad’s or brother’s when I can’t find mine. If you do have one you should also have a large toothed comb but don’t worry, you can do without it and just use a hair brush. 

So if you just came out of the shower, or not, the first step would be to hair dry your hair........ upside down..Yup yup yup you heard me, just flip your head down(wet or not) and start hair drying. If you have bangs(normally scene kids always have them) you should probably dry them normally and tie them up till the end of the tutorial. And then I'll tell you want to do with them later on.
After it's dry just flip it back up and at first i know it looks really freaky and messy. But all you have to do is comb it out but don't completely flatten it. 

Now, NO you do not need to cut as your hair should already be cut and layered. NO you don't need to dye it either. Scene kids already have their hair dyed. And if you don't know how to do that, well then i guess that'll be a different tutorial. So the next step is gonna kinda confusing, and wile you're in the middle of doing this you might be thinking "there has got to be something wrong here" but just trust me. 

So you're going to have to do this to little sections of your hair because you can't do this all at once or it'll turn out terrible. Pick a small portion of your hair and hold it up.
                                             Kind of like this, but a little less.

Wile you're holding it up, take your normal comb and start at the top(near your hand) and comb down. Just randomly tease your hair and comb down at different places. Yes your hair should look messy and puffy. At the very end of doing this, the portion of hair you are holding up should be able to stand up for a wile on its own without you supporting it.

Wile it's standing up, hair spray your hair(yes standing up. we'll fix it later on). Not to much though(or it'll be super hard to wash out next time you wash your hair) but enough to get it to stand up. Just continue this with the rest of the top few layers of your hair. But don't go all the way down and mess up ALL your hair. Just do this for the top half of your hair. Sooooo now i'm just gonna take a minute to laugh at you.......kuz you probably look like an idiot now. Ha ha don't worry, happens to me to!!! But no need to fear that will be fixed XD.
Basically all you really need to do now is use your wide toothed comb(if you don't have one, you can make do with a hair brush)comb down the top top top layer of your hair. I sure hope you didn't use to strong of a hair spray or this might take a wile. Yea i know combing down hair sprayed hair might hurt a little. So just comb back and tease as much hair you want until you have it as puffy as you want. You could just slightly comb out the middle so it won't look to messy. But DO NOT completely comb it out or else it'll just go back to being not so puffy. 

Ok remember how at the begging i told you to tie up your bangs!?!?!?!? Well once the back of your hair is combed back to however puffy you want it. Just untie your bangs and comb them to how you normally have them. I normally have a hair straightener/iron and straighten my bangs out because mine tend to curve in at the very end. But it's totally up to you how you want them. Truthfully the first time you do this, it might now end up so perfectly. I certainly didn't get it perfect my first time. But once you know what you're doing, your hair will most def end up beautiful.

To add another scene touch you can put a hair band or a hair bow into your hair. And there you go ;).
