Juliette Den Ouden, founder of JDO Academy in Amsterdam and recently crowned 'Hairdresser of the Year' in the Netherlands, shares her top four professional hair tips. These insights are invaluable for stylists and anyone styling at home.
“For added volume and staying power, I always apply a light mist of dry shampoo to the roots. It prevents hair from falling flat and creates a perfect base for updos—pins and elastics hold much longer.”
“Skip stiff ringlet curls that scream 'curling iron.' Instead, wrap hair around the iron for a twisted, natural wave. Finger-comb or brush through afterward for effortless, lasting results.”
“Always curl hair backward, away from your face, for a flattering fall. Avoid one side forward and one back—curling both ways keeps strands out of your way and frames your features beautifully.”
“Curly hair thrives on moisture, not grease. Opt for hydrating products to combat natural dryness. You'll notice bouncier, more voluminous curls that look and feel amazing.”
