How to Get Natural Looking Waves

Natural looking waves are the hottest trend in hair fashion, and you do not need a professional stylist to get them. For perfect natural looking waves, a few extra minutes in the morning and a some simple tips can help get you started.

Things You'll Need

• Shampoo and conditioner
• Towel
• Volumizer
• Hair clips
• Large curlers
• Bobby pins
• Hairspray

Instructions

1. Wash and condition your hair thoroughly, allowing the conditioner to set for a couple of minutes before rinsing. Always wash your hair with cool water, as hot water strips the hair of its natural oils and can cause breaking.

2. Towel dry your hair and then flip your head upside-down. Apply a light layer of volumizer to your hair. Volumizer is available in sprays, mouses and creams and should be selected according to your hair type and personal taste. Be sure to massage your chosen product into your hair, as this will help to add bounce and body.

3. Part your hair into three section, holding up two sections with clips. The first section should be at the back of your head while the other two should be on either side of the top of your head, hair parted in the middle.

4. Wrap small portions of your hair around large curlers, fasting with a bobby pin. For natural looking waves, roll the hair onto the curlers in alternating directions. Once your entire head is in curlers, apply a light mist of your favorite hairspray.

5. Allow your hair to air dry in the curlers. While this takes a bit of extra time, it is much better for your hair. Hair dryers are a wonder in convenience, but they damage your hair from root to tip.

6. Add another light spritz of spray once your hair is dry and then release the curlers. Pick through with your fingertips to reveal beautiful and natural looking waves.
