Spritz some spray gel (Brill likes Kérastase Texture Expert Lotion Densitive GL) from root to tip to give hair pieciness as it dries. Using a wide-tooth comb, spread the gel throughout the hair as you comb it backward, away from the face. Brill says it's important to use a gel that doesn't flake, because when it dries and you take it down, you're going to be shaking around the roots and you don't want to look like you've got dandruff.
