Today on Summer Week I'm sharing my Textured, Loose Waves. These take me about 5-10 minutes and are pretty any time of year. This post shares the highlights of the video, so for more details, please watch the video. Enjoy!
Heat protectant
Brush/comb
Texturizing Cream
1 inch curling wand
Heat resistant glove (optional)
hairspray (optional)
Spray hair with heat protectant and allow to dry fully before applying heat.
With the curling wand pointed down (I'm using one from Herstyler I got on Amazon) take a 1 inch section and make sure the curling wand is behind it.
Wrap the hair around the barrel making sure the barrel can be seen.
Hold 5-10 seconds.
On the next section of hair, place the wand in front of the section of hair and wrap around the barrel.
This will curl hair toward the face. I like to vary the size of sections and the curl direction to make the waves look more natural.
Repeat all over your head.
Take about a quarter (thick hair) or dime (reg-thin hair) of texturizing cream and distribute through hair. I'm using Not Your Mothers, which smells amazing by the way! I like using a cream as opposed to a spray because it helps to define, give texture, and it isn't crunchy. I like scrunching it (as I attempted to photograph above) or defining pieces. That's it!

Gorgeous! I love this hair style so much because it's relaxed yet so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute tutorial Elle, you make everything seem so easy! I have a wand but i rarely use it because when i try it's so hard to use, I think i was doing it wrong. I might try it again because I like how your curls look! :) Oh and I've never tried texturizing cream before, I think i might try it. Loving your summer week! :)

You are rockin' those waves! I have naturally curly hair and I can't bring myself to do this because of all the money I spend on Keratin and all the time I spend with my flat iron, but you look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I have wavy hair so I just need to let my hair dry naturally and put texturizing spray on it, xoxo.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty, Elle! I love the waves on you. If I didn't have to straighten my hair and THEN add the waves, I would totally do this. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your hair... so PRETTY!

Love this product. Since my hair is naturally curly I use it without any hot tools but the curls come out natural and soft. love it
