How To: Sexy, Second-Day Hair

Love the look and feel of hair on the second day? Here's how to fake the look:

T O O L S

• 1.5 or 2 in curling iron (I'm using the Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Iron from flatironexperts.com)
• texturizing wax
• heat protectant

M E T H O D

• Spray heat protectant on hair and let dry
• Divide hair in half. I don't brush my hair for this style. It makes it look a little bit messy and natural.
• To give the style an even more natural look, use different-sized sections of hair. For example, curl a 2 in. section of hair. The next section might be a half inch, and another 1 inch. Mix it up!

• The key to getting this look is to roll horizontally, right up the hair shaft. Pretend the curling iron barrel is a big roller.

• Roll hair up the the roots and hold for 10 seconds. This helps give a little volume to the roots.

• Release hair vertically and allow curls to cool completely.

• Once all curls have cooled, take a small amount of wax and warm it up in your hands. Rub hands together so the wax is evenly distributed to fingers as well.
• Using fingers as a big comb, rake through the curls. This will give curls texture, similar to the way second day hair has.

• Flip your head over and rake through curls this way too.
• Take random strands of hair and define them with the wax remaining on fingers.

The 1 1/2 inch Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron was sent to me for review from flatironexperts.com. It retails for $84.99 and comes in 4 sizes (see my review of the 3/4 in here). Tourmaline curling irons gives longer lasting curls. The Babyliss curling iron comes with 40 adjustable heats (up to 428 F). It has a 2 year warranty and is Dual Voltage. The benefits:

1. Eliminates static electricity                                      3. Neutralizes odors

2. Preserves more moisture within the hair shaft            4. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle
