The Easiest Way to Land Pretty Waves!

 
OK, summer may be over, but that doesn’t mean you have to ditch your long ‘n’ lovely waves. I got my hair snipped the other day, and my stylist showed me an easy way to enhance my waves—without busting out the curling iron. Here’s the how-to:
 
1. Start with the proper chop.
I might be a beauty editor but (confession!) it had been ages since I’d lopped my locks. Maintaining long layers will help bring out a natural curl. My hair had turned a li’l lifeless over the summer.
 
2. Use a curl cream.
In the past I’d stayed away from products made for curly girls. My stylist smoothed on a bit of curl serum while my hair was still damp. This one moisturizes, too, which is perf for post-summer, parched strands.
 


3. Twist—don’t scrunch.
I’ve tried every method under the sun to boost my tresses: I’ve slept with buns in my hair, done the braid/unbraid thing, simple WISHED that my hair would look ripped-from-the-runway. Here’s the no-fail method: Loosely twist small sections of your hair while blow-drying your hair with a diffuser. Blow out hair until it’s 80-percent dry. Let it air dry the rest of the way to define the curls. And…you’re done! Now keep those mitts off to keep the frizz at bay.

if I just washed my hair that night I will not dry my hair AT ALL. then I part it down the middle and separate it into four sections (two in the front and two in the back). Then I split each section into two and rope braid them and put little elastics in the four rope braids. I sleep with my hair like that and the next morning if ur hair is still wet u can dry it or jut pull the braids out and it makes pretty waves (even though my hair is stick straight)

i can't tell you how many times i've tried to blow-dry my hair this way and it failed. Every.Single.Time. Maybe i'm doing it wrong or something. idk.

i usually dont curl my hair (i love it straight) but i am starting to like it bouncy and curly. my hair is naturally kinda wavy so it dont take much to curl it. but i cant curl my hair using a curling iron to save my life.

When it comes to my hair, I'm scared of change. I always wear my hair the same way, every day. I'm scared that if I do something different, people won't like it. Do you have some advice for me?




Hey girlie, just try something new! If you don't like it will grow back. Don't worry about what other people are going to like, think about what you want.

I have tried everything and the only thing that really woks for my frizzy, curly hair, is if I wear my hair in a pony on Sunday, sleep on it into Monday, and then straiten it with a flat iron. That way my hair is soft and silky, but not oily. But be very careful. If you use a flat iron or curling iron too much, you could have really damaged hair. Trust me. I have had split ends and the fastest way to get rid of them is to cut you hair, and I really didn't like doing that! Girls should try this! It works for about 80% of girls!!!
