How to get perfect loose waves like Bella Thorne


 

Check these out, too...

  • Our take on Demi Lovato's latest album
In our August/September issue, we showed Bella with those gorge bedhead waves! Get this look on your own tresses in 5 easy-as-can-be steps, just in time for BTS.

 

Step One:

This look works best on hair that’s a couple days dirty, because it helps hold the curl better. For those gals who need hair to be squeaky clean 24/7, try switching up your shampoo and conditioner to prep it for curl! Girlies with straight, fine tresses should use a volumizing shampoo to give the hair texture and volume. Chicks with already textured locks should conquer frizz with a smoothing shampoo. Follow with a lightweight conditioner that won’t weigh down your hair.
 
We love: Lush Veganese (3.3 fl oz), $10, lushusa.com
 
 

Step Two:

Hair is only beautiful when it’s healthy, so keep your hair lookin’ good with a heat protectant before curling, which can minimize damage by locking in moisture. This means say goodbye to dry frizz and say hello to stunning shine!
 
We love: Tresemme Thermal Hair Creations Heat Tamer Protective Spray, $8, amazon.com
 

Step Three:

This part might take some practice (but practice makes perfect!): Get an alligator clip and clip off the top two-thirds of your hair. Use a 1” curling iron to start curling the bottom third of your hair. Wrap 1-inch sections around the barrel in a corkscrew shape, hold for a few seconds, and then release and repeat. Afterwards, bring down another layer of your hair on top of the curls. Use the same method to curl the middle layer of your hair. Finally, take off the alligator clip and curl the remaining top portion of the hair.
 

*GL Tip #1: Work from back to front so you can see your work as it progresses.

*GL Tip #2: Curl away from your face so that your pretty face isn’t hidden from view!
 

Step Four:

Don’t touch your tresses until your hair cools! Once cooled, loosen the curls with your fingers and style hair into beautifully tousled waves. 
 

Step Five:

Finish off the look with your favorite hairspray. Not even this summer’s humidity can loosen up your new look! Seek out one that packs in SPF to protect your hair from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
 
We love: John Frieda Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Hairspray in Firm-Hold, $6, drugstore.com

MOD MOD MOD!!! soo i have band camp in 3 weeks, and i need to be prepared:
old t- shirts(where can i find some?)
the right sunscreen(it has to be spray on)
how to avoid a bad tan
and most of all, i'll be out in the hot sun and i sweat underneath my arms.. a lot. you ca smell it too!!!! i can i avoid that!?!?
thank you so much!!




Hey girl, for old tees, try asking your family members and friends if they have any they're willing to part with. And Neutrogena has some really good spray-on sunscreen. Not quite sure what you mean by a "bad" tan, but just keep applying that sunblock every few hours, and you should be fine. To nix underarm smells, go for a deodorant that's clinical strength. Have a great time at camp!

MOD MOD MOD!!!
Okay so I really love curly hair and I want curly hair so badly! My older sis has natural curly hair and I'm so jealous! So the thing is I don't have curly hair. My hair is stick straight! whenever I try to curl it my hair just goes back to straight because it's so naturally straight! How can I make my hair be curly and stay that way?!?!?! Please help! It's really frustrating!
Thanks a bunch! =D




 Hey chica, the main way to score stay-in curls is to get a perm. But if you don't wanna do that, your other option is to take a shower before bed, leave your hair wet, and sleep with it in really tight buns or braids. That should give you a bit of a wave in the morning. Good luck!

I have really short, frizzy hair. I have tried a lot of shampoo and conditioner for my hair, but nothing has really worked! And it hardly ever grows. Can ya'll help me? Thanks a bunch!




Hey chica, the reason why hair gets frizzy is because it's dry. So anything you can do to add moisture is good. Use leave-in conditioner, add a little bit of anti-frizz serum after a shower, try not to blow-dry it, and use a wide-tooth comb. Also, make sure that your diet is healthy because that can cause frizz, too. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated, and make sure you're gettin' all your vitamins.
