Quick answer: Spray Sea Salt Spray into damp front roots, blow-dry forward while lifting the roots, then add a little Texture Powder at the roots once they're fully dry. Pinch a few pieces apart and stop. A messy fringe should look easy, not overworked.
Everything on one card. Screenshot it for later.
The look
Forward, piecey, slightly lifted at the root, with a matte finish. It works best when there's enough length on top for the fringe to fall forward.
The routine
- Towel-dry. (Damp) Damp, not dripping.
- 3–4 sprays of Sea Salt Spray. (Damp) At the roots on the front and top.
- Blow-dry forward. (Damp to dry) Point the dryer down and forward while lifting the roots with your fingers, so the fringe falls forward with lift instead of lying flat on your forehead. Dry completely.
- 1–2 light shakes of Texture Powder. (Dry) At the roots on top, not on the ends of the fringe. Massage in with your fingertips.
- Pinch and twist small pieces. Leave gaps between them. Don't comb it flat.
Thick hair? Swap the powder for a pea-sized amount of Matte Clay, worked through with your fingertips for separation.
No time? On dry hair, skip the spray and the dryer: 1–2 shakes of powder at the roots, then pinch into place.
Common mistake
Putting powder on roots that are still damp.
Fix: It clumps instead of lifting. Dry the roots completely first. And keep powder at the roots: on the ends, it makes the fringe stiff.
