Introducing the New Straight Answer Hair Iron from Andrew Barton
Step One
Spray dry hair with a heat protection spray to lock in moisture (Andrew Barton The Straight Answer Heat Protection Spray £3.89), take random ½ inch thick sections of hair from all over the head and twist into cable effect.
Step Two
Hold tip out of hair out from head and spray another layer of heat protection spray. Starting at the root, clamp the Andrew Barton Straight Answer straightening iron and hold for 2-3 seconds. Repeat in sections moving down the hair length.
Step Three
Once all twists are complete, use fingers to unravel the sections and finish with a polishing serum from the middle to the ends of the hair (Andrew Barton Gloss Boss Shine Serum, £4.84)
Customise the look by taking varying sizes of hair sections – smaller sections will create a detailed, more textured effect, while larger sections will leave a less defined natural finish.

The new Making Waves triple barrel waver from Andrew Barton
Step One
Apply a frizz control cream to wet hair (Andrew Barton Frizz Tamer Styling Cream £3.89) then blow dry hair smooth using a paddle brush.
Step Two
Separate the hair into two sections – one underneath and one upper section on top of the head. Spray the hair with a heat protection spray (Andrew Barton The Straight Answer Heat Protection Spray £3.89) until evenly coated.
Step Three
Randomly take lengths of hair and hold at the root. Using the Andrew Barton Making Waves triple barrel waver clamp the hair and hold for six seconds. Move down the length of the hair to the ends.
For added volume start clamping from the root or for a more natural rippled effect, clamp from the mid-section down.
Step Four
Gently unravel the waves using the fingers for a Gisele styled bed head finish, brush through the waves for a less structured loose wave or leave ravelled for a smooth defined wave. Finish with a polishing serum (Andrew Barton Gloss Boss Shine Serum, £4.84) on the mid to ends of the hair.
