To get a tousled wavy look, towel dry damp hair. Apply mousse to the palm of your hand and work through hair by scrunching from end to root. Air dry your hair, scrunching every so often as it dries. Use your fingers to comb through when hair is completely dry. Do not brush. Apply shine serum for luster. Use hairspray to hold wavy curls in place.

To achieve delicate wavy curls, apply a volumizing product to just washed hair. Blow dry your hair until only slightly damp. Separate your hair into sections and apply heated rollers. Air dry your hair with the rollers attached. When hair is completely dry, remove the rollers. Use your fingers to separate the curls into loose waves. Work a few drops of shine serum into hair for a glossy look. Apply hairspray to hold the style of the wavy curls.

For long-lasting wavy curls, wait one day after a shampoo and start with dry hair. Turn your head upside down and spritz the roots of your hair with a volumizing spray. Comb your hair from root to tip to evenly distribute the product. Divide your hair into sections. Wrap each section around a 1 inch barrel curling iron. Hold for at least 10 seconds. The curl should look like a spiral or corkscrew when released. Roll the curl and use a bobby pin to secure it near the scalp. Release pinned curls once all your hair has been curled. Use your fingers to gently loosen curls into wavy hair. Do not brush. Add shine serum for desired shine.
