Steps
Part 1 of 3: Acquiring and Perfecting the Basics
Step 1. Make sure your hair is dry
If they are fresh from shampoo, wait for them to dry completely before creating a Farrah Fawcett-inspired hairstyle. This step is very important because you will need to use a curling iron. Applying heat to wet hair can cause a lot of damage to the shaft.
Step 2. Brush your hair
Although you have recently brushed them, it is good to untangle them before styling. You have to make sure that the hair is relatively free of knots. You will thus be able to divide them and manage them without problems during the procedure.
Step 3. Apply a mousse with heat protection properties
Opt for a volumizing product that protects your hair from heat. The mousse helps to fix them during styling. As you curl them, it is vital that you protect them from the heat. Heat protection products are effective in preventing the hair from being damaged during the procedure.
If you don't have any mousse or prefer not to use it, just apply a simple heat protector. One thing is certain: although it is possible to avoid mousse, never do without the heat protector, as it avoids damaging the hair during styling
Step 4. Make the middle row
The line in the center is a classic of the seventies. Before starting to curl your hair, part the part more or less in the center of the head. This step will help you imitate Farrah Fawcett's look even better.
Step 5. Gather the top of the hair
Use your fingers to separate the top half of the hair, then secure it with pliers. To get a result that is as faithful as possible to the original, you will need to curl your hair in sections.
Part 2 of 3: Curl the Hair
Step 1. Select a safe temperature for your hair
To curl them, use an iron that is equipped with a thick rod. There is no universal temperature that works for everyone. Make sure you adjust it according to your hair. If you have damaged or fine them, set the iron to a temperature between 120 and 150 ° C. If they have a medium thickness, set it to a temperature between 150 and 180 ° C. If they are thick or thick, set it to a temperature between 180 and 200 ° C.
If it is not possible to regulate the temperature of the iron precisely, it is better to play it safe and set it to the minimum
Step 2. Take a section of about 3 cm
Using your fingers, separate a section from the rest of the hair. It should have a width of approximately 3 cm. This will help you create the backcombed waves, typical of Farrah Fawcett's hair.
Step 3. Curl the hair outwards instead of towards the face
Once the first strand has been taken, turn it out. Twist the hair around the iron rod working outwards. Once the procedure is complete, let the hair slide off the wand away from the face and let it fall sideways on the face.
Step 4. Repeat the process until you have curled all the hair in the lower area
Continue to curl your hair by treating a section of about 3 cm at a time. For perfect results, make sure you always turn them away from your face.
Step 5. Untie the top section
Once all the strands of the lower section are curled, you can move on to the upper one. Loosen your hair by removing the clip or elastic that you used to secure it. If the top section is knotted, run your fingers through your hair first to untangle it.
Step 6. Repeat the process with the top section
Repeat the same process you did to style the lower area. Curl your hair away from your face. Treat a section of about 3cm at a time until the process is complete.
Part 3 of 3: Completing the Look
Step 1. Curl your bangs if you are wearing it
If it's long, you need to style it. Instead of dividing it into several strands, curl it in one go. Again remember to turn your hair outwards to best mimic Farrah Fawcett's hairstyle.
Step 2. Blow dry your bangs
Turn on the hairdryer and direct the jet of hot air at the bangs. In the meantime, fluff it with your fingers. In this way you will get a puffy and voluminous effect, typical of the hairstyles of the seventies.
Step 3. Make a generous splash of hairspray
Take a strong hold hairspray and use a generous dose to complete the look. This will ensure that your hair is perfect all day long. Using a strong hold hairspray is necessary to keep the curls intact.
