Using a wavers and curling irons are popular ways to create the trendy wavy hairstyles we all love, but all that heat is definitely not easy on your hair.Too much heat can cause breakage and dry out your hair. You can easily create the beautiful look of soft waves without a waver or curling iron.

Things You'll Need

• Small rubber bands
• Gel
• Comb
• Scarf or bandanna

Instructions

1. Shampoo and condition our hair. This can be done on dry hair, but clean, wet hair delivers better results.

2. Part your hair from ear to ear into two sections, top and bottom. Put the top section of your hair into a rubber band or clip.

3. Take small sections of hair from the bottom half and comb a dime-size amount of gel through it. Then, split the section into two and twist it from scalp to ends. To have looser waves, make fewer twists. For tighter waves. make more twists.

4. Add a rubber band to secure the end of the twist. Continue twisting and securing to complete the entire back section of your hair. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for the top section of your hair.

5. Leave your hair twisted overnight to get the best possible waves. Sleep with a scarf or bandanna covering your head, so you do not mess up your twists as you sleep. You can use a blow dryer to dry the twists instead of waiting overnight.

6. Take your twists out in the morning. Your waves will be tight. You may leave them as they are, or you can run your fingers through them to break them up a bit.
   Make sure the twists are completely dry, or hair may poof/frizz up.

Tips & Warnings
