Emmanuel Esteban recommends using the Bardot Lift + Volume Spray to help you achieve Brigitte Bardot’s stylish bouffant (per Savoir Flair). If you don’t want to invest in new products, any volume spray you have on hand will work. Make sure your hair is freshly washed and still damp, then spray the roots of your hair with your selected product. Next, be sure to apply a heat protectant spray closer to the middle and ends of your hair. Esteban told Savoir Flair that a paddle brush with “natural bristles” is his go-to when it comes to a seamless blow dry. Brushing downward, with your hair upside down, can create more volume for your look later on.
Now that your hair is dry, divide it into two vertical sections: One going from your temple to the top of your neck, and one below with the rest of your hair. Esteban cites the Bardot Texture Spray in his walk-through, telling Savoir Flair that you should spray “at least six inches away from your head and curl in large sections using a curling wand to achieve a wavy, textured, messy look.” Similar to the Lift + Volume Spray tip, you can use any texture spray you like when completing this step.
