  1. Roughly blow dry your hair with the Nicky Clarke Diamond Shine Dryer until it is 60% dry, then while the hair is still damp, create a side parting, using the arch of your brow as a guide.

  2. Separate the front fringe section and blow dry using a large bristle brush, pulling upwards as you dry to create volume, wrap around a large roller to keep in place. Continue to finish blow drying the hair in sections until complete.

  3. Take the section of the hair on the opposite side to the fringe and create a small, neat French plait starting at the parting and continuing to behind the ear and secure with a grip.

  4. Separate the hair into sections and wrap around the Nicky Clarke Diamond Shine Pro Salon Styling Wand, hold for a few sections then release and continue this throughout the whole head, bringing the waves to the same side as the fringe as you go.

  5. When all the hair has been waved, release the roller in your fringe and brush through the waves to loosen them and blend in with the fringe.

  6. Finish with some hairspray and a little serum to tame any fly-aways.
