Once we lopped off six inches of hair — a process that took a whopping three (!) minutes — we moved on to styling. Warren worked in a mousse throughout my damp hair and scrunched, scrunched, scrunched to give it volume and hold. (He used the Goldwell Kerasilk Style Bodifying Volume Mousse (£18); I love and swear by the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Take Charge Curl-Boosting Mousse (£6).)
Then, a wild revelation: "I'm only going to use a diffuser to dry your hair," he said. I clearly looked shocked. "A lot of people with fine hair don't know when they actually have a natural wave to their hair. A diffuser will bring out your curls."
