Curling your hair can be a real challenge, especially in terms of hold. But this professional tip will change everything!
This is an almost universal experience for all people with long and/or thick hair. When curling the lengths, separate your hair into two equal parts. But once the second side is finished… The first is almost no longer complete! Despite the time spent meticulously taking care of each strand, and all the effort put into it, the result does not last. Don’t panic! A professional hairdresser’s method could well be a game-changer for future trials. We explain everything to you.

Raphaël Perrier, hairdresser to the stars, takes care of the beauty of the show’s actors. The opportunity for our team to slip backstage to ask a few questions to the hairdressing professionals present on site. On stage, the actresses’ hair remains perfectly disciplined for more than two hours. Buckles included. “There is a technique that is incredible and that I use all the time on lengths that need to be curled and held completely: I put hairspray before making the curls, then I curl and re-lacquer.“, explains Justine Gaubert, hairdresser and assistant to Raphaël Perrier. “If you want the hairstyle to last all night, for example before going to a party, this is really the best thing to do.“The little extra? This technique works for all scenarios: a blow-dry, a wavy effect… Your work of art will hold up.”three days without problem.“ Professional words!
And to create a beautiful bun or a pretty ponytail, Justine Gaubert advises working on the lengths beforehand. “We don’t think about it often, we generally tie our hair up and then curl it.

The professional also uses this tip to prepare the actresses’ wigs, and it is clear how effective it is! The secret is out and the circle is finally closed: star hair is yours.
