How to Get Waves in Your Hair

Add waves to your hair.

Hair waves are a loose and casual style that has been seen on a variety of celebrities, including Sarah Jessica Parker, and can be created on both curly and straight hair. Waves are simplest to create on medium to long hair and can be styled using basic haircare supplies.

Things You'll Need

• Comb
• Hair ties
• Curl sculpting spray
• Hair spray

Instructions

1. Wash and condition your hair as normal. Towel dry hair until it is slightly damp, and comb through your strands to remove any knots or tangles.

2. Part your hair down the middle. Using the comb, separate your hair into two-inch sections.

3. Twist each section of hair into a coil. Gently pull the tip of the coil up and tuck it under the base of the coil. Secure with a hair tie. Repeat this process until all of your hair has been coiled and secured. Note that the tighter you coil the hair, the tighter the waves will be.

4. Dry your hair naturally while you sleep or use a hair dryer on low heat. Gently remove the hair ties and loosen the coils using your fingers.

5. Spray a quarter-sized amount of curl sculpting spray into your palm. Rub your hands together and style the waves using your hands.

6. Spray a generous amount of hair spray onto all of your hair to hold the waves in place.
