How to Get Wavy Hair

Get relaxed, wavy beach style hair!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• comb
• curl enhancer product
• curl enhancing shampoo/conditioner
• towel
• hair dryer with diffuser.

1. Take a shower and wash your hair with curl enhancing shampoo and conditioner, or use a spray bottle to dampen your hair.

2. If you washed hair, towel dry until hair is damp.

3. Use a plastic tooth comb to get out any tangles.

4. Apply a curl enhancing product such as Bed Heads Curls Rock or Aveda's curl enhancing lotion.

5. Lean forward and tilt head down so hair is hanging down and work product into hair by scrunching hair with hands. When scrunching, you grab sections of your hair in your hand and gently squeeze as you push the hair up towards your scalp.

6. You can either let it air dry for a more relaxed, beachy look. Or you can get a more finished look by blow drying with a diffuser attached to the dryer. When blow drying, keep head turned down and continue scrunching hair while applying heat.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have really straight hair, this might be a little more difficult to achieve. It might help if you wear you hair in a bun or braid(s) after getting it wet. Then proceed with steps 4-6.
• Add a headband!
