The key, Thompson said in the official press release, is to curl small sections away from the face, let each section cool and flip the hair a few times once it\u2019s finished.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI focus on keeping the finish touchable and modern so the volume feels effortless, never overdone.
