Liann had very long, naturally coarse hair with no shine to the finish. Stylist and multicultural hair specialist Nadine Branch of PON International of Anaheim Hills, California started a new look by creating a strong 45-degee angle to the cut, leaving a unique perimeter to Liann's ultra long hair. |

| To prep Liann's lengthy strands for this shinny, sleek look, Nadine used a clarifying shampoo and conditioner to remove any product or environmental build up to help start with a clean cuticle. After applying a light leave-in conditioner, Nadine carefully combed through to detangle the hair. Then she clipped it up and set LiAnn under a hood dryer to allow the cuticle to close with the heat. Once Liann's hair was about 70% dry, Nadine took out the clips and finished removing the moisture with a blow-dryer and a flat paddle brush. From there she silkened the hair by using traditional Marcel thermal flat iron. Taking medium sections, Nadine ran a properly heated thermal flat iron through Liann's hair, smoothing carefully from the roots to the ends. |

| For a second look, Nadine introduced a soft and subtle bend to the hair using a daily working spray that doesn't coat the cuticle and an extra large Marcel thermal bumper iron. She pinned sections up in back and directed the hair over to one side for a softly elegant "down do". |
