Women with long hair were popular in the 70s and early 80s for their feathered hair.This style is easy to achieve and can be done without layers.The only thing you will need to create this look is a curling iron.
Step 1: Learn what feathering is.
A feathered hairstyle is a look that is created with layers of hair, with smooth layers that flip out and back looking almost like the feathers on a bird.The hair is usually parted down the middle and then curled away from the face.It can be created from short and smooth hair or long and curly hair.If you feather your hair, the feathers won't be visible.Similar to the big, flowy hair styles of the 70's, feathered hair has a retro look.The original Charlie's Angels is an example of feathered hair.
Step 2: Have your hair cut.
If you want to achieve the best feathering look, you'll need layers in your hair, and you should go to a professional to have this done.If you are good at cutting hair, you can layer it yourself.If you don't know how to cut hair, ask a professional to do it for you.They should be able to tell you what you mean.Before you get your hair cut, you may want to figure out what type of feathered look you want.You can have long hair or short hair.Decide if you want a long or short look before you go to the salon.Look at pictures online to help you make a decision.If you want to go for a feathered look, you have to have bangs cut in your hair.The more feathery look around your face can be created with layers of hair.If you don't want to get your hair cut just to style it, then you should not worry about adding layers.
Step 3: Take care of your hair.
If you want to add volume to your hair, you need to wash it.If you want a true feathered look, split your bangs in the middle and put them on the sides.If it's too much for you, you can get rid of your hair on the right or left side.
Step 4: You can apply a product to your hair.
If your hair is wavy or curly, blow dry it before you wash it.It will help to stretch out your waves and make them look more obvious.If you don't have body in your hair, apply spray or volumizing.Before you dry it.If your hair is straight, you can add body and wave with volumizing and curling.As you blow dry your hair, make sure you keep the middle or side part of it.To get the best volume and prepare your hair for the feathered look, use a round brush and pull the hair around your face through it.If you want your hair to be pulled away from your face, you should use the brush.
Step 5: You can spray your hair with a heat protectant.
The majority of this hair style is based on using a curling iron, so you will want to spray it with a heat protectant after you have dried your hair.You can spray the heat protectant on your hair.The heat from the curling iron will damage your hair.
Step 6: You need to separate your hair.
If you want to make two sections out of the parted sections, you need to divide your hair into four sections.It's best to separate your hair by the type of curl you're going to create because the front of your head will be bigger than the back.If you want to draw a part down the middle of your hair, you have to do it from top to bottom.Push your hair in front of your shoulders to make sure it doesn't overlap.Use a clip to pin each back section if you divide it in half.Your two front sections of hair should be by your face after you have clipped back your hair.After you have finished the front section, unclip the back sections of hair and let them fall behind you.Try to keep your front sections that are already curled in front of your shoulders so that you don't accidentally grab some of those curls and try to curl them again.It's not necessary to separate your hair by layers.It will be easier to separate it into 4 sections.You want loose waves, and you don't want tight ringlets.
Step 7: The front section of your hair needs to be curled.
Start at the front of your hair and use a 1 inch curling iron to pull hair up and down.You need to clip back the top layers of your hair in order to work with the bottom layer.Curl your hair 2 inches away from your head so that you end up with loose curls at the end.
Step 8: Pull the hair out of your face.
You want the most volume around your face with the feathered look.Don't wrap your hair in a curling iron towards your face when you are curling it.Wrap your hair away from your face and then use the curling iron to start.Put the curling iron behind the strand of hair.Your hair should be in front of the curling iron when you look in the mirror.Wrap your hair around the iron.Your hair will be wrapped away from your face in order to create a feathered look.If you need to hold the curling iron on your hair for more than a few seconds, you can do so.If they are bouncy, brush them out later.If you have short hair, you may have to start farther up with your curls, which is 2.5 cm away from your head.
Step 9: The back of your hair is where you want to move it.
Curl the front and back sections of your hair at once.These sections will have bigger waves, so take 1 inch sections or more of your hair and curl them, starting again at the bottom layer.If you want to end up with loose waves, you'll want the back of your hair to be very curly.
Step 10: Curl your hair.
You don't want your bangs to be ringlets, so take a large chunk of your hair and wrap it around the curling iron.You can either curl them before they are separated or after they have been parted.Since you have shorter hair, you should start near your head.Make sure you are not curling your hair near your face.Your hair will look like ringlets around your face if you wrap it in the wrong direction.
Step 11: Your hair needs to be sprayed in order to finish it.
spray your hair after you have curled it.You don't want to spray too much, as this will make the curls hard and give them a hard feel, but you should spray enough so that your hairstyle is maintained throughout the day.
Step 12: You should loosen up your hair.
When you are done spraying your hair, run your fingers through the curls you have created.The loose waves and volume in your hair will be created by this step.If you need to loosen some of the curls, you can shake your head.Don't worry about brushing the hair.The look of your hair doesn't rely on curls, only those that frame your face.It is possible to give your hair volume and texture by curling it.
Step 13: Touch up your hair when you flip it over.
You might need to touch up your hair after you flip it over.If you have fly aways in your hair, use your hands.You can move your hair by twisting it with your finger.If you have bangs that frame both sides of your face, you need to separate your bangs.Then, look at your face.
