The ‘bell-bottom cut’ is the cool-girl tapered chop you need to know about

“I believe prep is key when creating volume, texture and movement in hair,” she explains. For the look below she prepped hair with heat protection sprayed through each section. “Then I used Redken Guts 10 Volume Spray foam. I focused heavily on the roots, then brushed it through the mid-sections,” says Tanielle. “I blow dried each section of the hair (the heat activates the product) and I always blow the roots up so we get that volume,” she says.

“Once the hair is all blown out, I use my largest barrel to hot tool all the hair, then wrap each section around velcro rollers,” says Tanielle. But, she’s tactical in her approach. “For the sides closest to the face, I roll the hair in towards the face to keep the roots of the hair high. But, I section off the fringe and roll that hair away from the face,” Tanielle explains.

The key is not to rush. “Letting the hair cool down in the rollers is super important as this will set the hair in place,” says Tanielle, who did her model, Kiana‘s makeup while she left the hair to set. “Then give it a light spray with hairspray,” says Tanielle, who favours the Schwarzkopf Glued Hairspray.

Once you’ve removed the rollers, go in with a soft bristle brush to brush the hair out. “I added volumising powder to the roots [try Bumble & Bumble Pret A Powder] and a little texturiser through the mids of the hair [try Andrew Fitzsimon’s Apres Sex Texture Spray],” says Tanielle. Finally, for that modern twist, Tanielle recommends taking “a little hair serum on the ends and finess[ing] the fringe,” for a sleek finish with sultry texture.

And, if you really want to emphasise that A-line shape, we’d recommend implementing our favourite easy gamechanger, the pinch hair hack.
