How to Add Volume to Flat Hair Video

Hi, I'm Ying Chu, the beauty director at Marie Claire Magazine. I'm here at Three Squares Studio in downtown Manhattan and I'm gonna be meeting with celebrity stylist Oribe Canales and he's gonna be transforming my hair from flat to fabulous. Can't wait to see what you'll do to my flat hair.

I love your hair. I think it's great. I think we'll have a lot of fun. We'll just trim it and get it ready for summer.

Great.

So you must have had to do some transformations in some pretty tight spots.

Yes, we do it anywhere. When you travel with a celebrity and the paparazzis waiting so I've done hairdos as the plane land.

And now Lady Gaga is someone who you'd worked with fairly recently.

I love Gaga. I created for her humongous pink, gorgeous, poodle-like hairdo.

Right.

It was amazing. She loved it. It's very outrageous. I mean, I think that when you do a celebrity like Lady Gaga who's super strong, you have to really go out there with exaggeration. It's usually a collaboration between the hairdresser and the client. Communication, the most important part in a haircut. You add the final real touches and you know what works for you. The hairdresser can ruin your life. I can ruin your summer.

Yeah. Or you can make it.

Or I can make it. This is the most important part of the whole haircut, is the last--

The finished hair--

Ten minutes. Ten minutes of me going through it and really detailing it and this is what makes this haircut yours.

Fun.

And sexy, it's a great shape for you, you got the sexy bang. I love these little pieces that stick out.

Uh huh.

Thank you, that's hot.

I could never have done this on my own. Thank you.
