How To: Wavy Curls

One of my favorite hairstyles is the wavy curl.
It's not totally wavy, and not a ringlet curl either--it's sort of in between. Here are my inspirations:

Rachel Bilson--I love her style too!

Tools:

• 1 in curling iron--you will use the clamp
• Brush
• Hairspray
• Smaller curling iron/wand (optional)
• Styling paste/putty/wax (optional)
• Heat protectant spray (spray and let dry before curling)

Method:

• Separate brushed hair into 2 sections, and work from back to front--that's how I do it. Separate hair how you'd like (some do 3 sections: top and sides) or work front to back. I tend to do what is the quickest for me. This hairstyle takes me about 10 minutes.
• Lift up the clamp on the curling iron and slide a 1 inch section of hair to the middle of the section. Make sure you are curling away from your face.

• Let go of the clamp and roll up the iron close to the scalp. Close the clamp and hold a few seconds (5-10, depending on thickness).

• Move down the section of hair by sliding down and rolling up, until you get to the end of your section. Spray hair.
• Repeat until all hair is curled. Once hair has cooled, feel free to separate curly waves with fingers. Spray hair all over. You're finished! 

• Once hair has cooled, use the smaller curling wand/iron to go back over any pieces that didn't curl or you can pick random sections (optional)
• To get more of a piecey  look, rub a dime-sized amount of paste in your hands, and pick random sections of hair (like a piece by your face). Work the product lightly onto the section, starting in the middle and focusing on the ends. (optional)

• PS: By starting the curl in the middle of the hair, instead of the end and rolling up, you will get the wavy curly and avoid the ringlet curl.
