Ever curl hair and have it fall? Spend an hour creating loose beach waves or fabulous curls that fall flat? Sam Villa, founding partner of the Sam Villa® brand and education artistic director for Redken 5th Avenue has a technique that gives waves and curls staying power called Scrimping. “Scrimping is a technique done prior to curling to lock in curl pattern, texture and volume. It resurfaces the hair cuticle and creates a foundation for curl, so when hair is curled, the curl has something to hold on to and lock in place,” says Villa.
Scrimping is good for creating multi-textured finishes and foundations to support updos and styles with massive volume. http://www.samvilla.com/how-to/tips/how-to-get-curls-to-hold-all-dayScrimping
