Piecey Hair Styles

Any length of hair can be given wonderful piecey texture and it is relatively easy to achieve. All you need is a good quality wax, pomade or texture spray (such as sea-water spray) that has a matte finish and your hands, and you are good to go. You don’t even need to blow dry your hair properly, you can just let your hair dry naturally. In fact, the natural texture of your hair will work in your favor with this hair trend

1. Starting with dry hair, rub a little of your chosen product between your palms and apply to big slices of hair, either randomly, or more evenly if you prefer. 
2. Use the product to hold the thick slices of hair together, or even just to tease small sections or the very tips of the hair. There is plenty scope for experimentation.
3. It is best to apply the styling product form the mid-length of the hair down towards the end. Too much product at the root and make the hair look greasy and limp, whilst also weighing it down.
4.  If you have fine hair that lacks lift, add some volume boosting powder at the roots and rub in with fingertips. This will add plenty of volume as well as texture.
