I am all about wild child wavy hair this summer! A tumbling head of waves is just so sexy and carefree but to curl my entire head of stick straight hair with a curling iron is time consuming not to mention damaging to the hair shaft (in the 90s I actually got a spiral perm-- I do not recommend perming Asian hair unless you like the look of crispy noodles). After a few hit and misses, I've developed my own wavy hair routine with minimum damage to my hair. This routine takes only 10 minutes (air drying will take longer):1. Spray wet hair with Tresemme 24 hour body scupting gel (Tres important cuz this will hold the shape of your curls!)
2. Separate hair in 3 horizontal rows and hold top portions up and out of the way with a clip.
3. Take 1.5" sections of hair and twirl each piece with finger, pin up in a knot with bobby pin at scalp (repeat until all of your hair is pinned up. I do 3 curls on bottom row, 4 curls in middle row and about 3-4 curls on top of head. This takes about 5 minutes (sometimes I leave my hair like this all day, it looks very island chic.)4. Let hair dry while you do your make up, run errands or whatever you need to! (You can air dry or use the T3 Evolution Blow dryer for a few minutes)
5. Take out the bobby pins and finger comb through and fluff hair (spray on hair spray if necessary.)
Et Voila! A head of gorgeous waves! So easy and so fast! Jump for photo!
I love my hair like this! It lasts a couple of days.
Leaving my hair like this during the day keeps me cool in 105 degree weather.
This is the 'Before' photo. Straight hair is nice but oh so boring ;)
I am definitely going to try this! This seems perfect for class when I don't want to get up before I absolutely have too...and looks like it would fare well in D.C.'s humid weather. Awesome!
Great tips! I am going to try it tomorrow, can I use any gel?
I am going to try this.The humidity plays havoc with my hair.
