THE UP-DO

  1. Cleanse the hair using Charles Worthington Salon at Home Volume & Bounce shampoo, £5.99.
  2. Towel the hair dry and apply the Charles Worthington Secrets CollectionInstant Amplifying Volume Treatment, £14.99, then rinse out.
  3. Apply the Charles Worthington at Home Volume and Bounce Body Booster Mousse, £5.99 throughout the hair.
  4. Make sure you comb through section by section to ensure the product is evenly distributed.
  5. Blow-dry your hair with a round brush, creating a bend as you dry throughout the entire head of hair.
  6. Take a fine comb and tease the roots by gently backcombing. On the root of each section, use a little spritz of the Charles Worthington at Home Style Setter Brush out Strong Hairspray, £5.99.
  7. Gently smooth the hair and seure it on top and around the hair line.
  8. Draw a section from ear to ear, securing the top section out of the way.
  9. With your fingers, twist this section into a know and pin with grips to secure at the nape of the neck.
  10. Release the entire top section and encourage a centre parting.
  11. Rake the hair back and allow to fall loosely over the knot you have created.
  12. Secure with a generous coating of hairspray, then pinch the ends which overhang the knot and tuck them into the knot with the a few grips.
  13. Tease a few strands loose to fall around the face. Finish with a little Charles Worthington Shine Booster All Over Gloss Spray, £5.99. 

THE GLAMOUR WAVE

  1. Cleanse the hair with Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce shampoo and conditioner, £5.99 each.
  2. Throughout your hair, apply the brand new BAFTA edition Volume & bounce 3D boosting crème, £6.99.
  3. Make sure to massage into the mid lengths and ends.
  4. Draw a deep side parting one side, then pull all the underneath section of hair at the back into a clean ponytail at the nape of the neck.
  5. Braid this and pin into a tight bun, securing with grips.
  6. Release the top section, and use a curling wand to wave the hair in vertical sections towards the face, on both sides of the parting.
  7. Gently brush the curls out to form a wave, raking through with a comb to encourage their shape. Add some Charles Worthington Salon at Home Style Setter Max Hold Hairspray, £5.99.
  8. Take vertical sections of hair starting on the shorter side.
  9. Gently gather the waves, using spray, and tuck all the ends into and around the bun at the back to disguise it.

  11. Finalise with Charles Worthington Shine Booster All Over Gloss Spray, £5.99.
