Towering and tousled, this upstyle provides an alluring blend of glamour and sass. Created by Farouk Systems Global Artistic Board Members, Patrick Kalle and Maurice Den Exter, the look is adaptable for any occasion—from an intimate tete-a-tete to a roof-raising rave!
“My inspiration for this look came from the music that was playing, it was a tune from the gang Muse… somewhat rock and haute couture,” said Den Exter.

STEP 2: Spray a small section with CHI Infra Texture Dual Action Hairspray and curl with a 1” CHI Orbit Styling Wand. Secure with clip. Continue to curve the sections from front to back.
STEP 3: Let the hair cool for 5 minutes. Remove the clips and comb throughout the hair with a large tooth comb. Finish with CHI Shine Infusion.

STEP 5: Mist the entire hair in between the backcombed sections with CHI Infra Texture Dual Action Hairspray. Gently brush the hair upward, from nape to front, to smooth the outside.
