Step 2: Run the iron over the hair quickly once or twice, pressing very lightly. You don't want to straighten the hair yet, but heating it up will help the style set better. waves Step 2

  • Step 3: Starting at the roots, wrap hair around the top end of the iron, toward you. Turn the iron 180 degrees. Then, while pressing lightly and clapping the iron to allow movement, run the iron up and down the section for about 5 seconds. waves Step 3

Or, Style with a 2" Barrel Curling Iron

A wide round curling iron delivers natural looking curls and body.

  • Spray damp hair with a volumizing heat protectant before styling.
  • Blow hair straight, maintaining volume (here's how).
  • Starting at eye level, wrap hair in sections around the curling iron, positioning the iron perpendicular to hair.
  • Hold the curl around the curling iron for ten seconds.
  • Spray each section with a light mist of hairspray to hold. Try CHI Infra Texture Dual Action Hair Spray.

Styling Tip: For smaller, tighter curls, try a small barrel curling iron.


Get Loose Waves with Rollers

Hair rollers make styling easy, with soft, voluminous results.

  • Towel dry hair and apply a volumizing spray to the roots of damp hair.
  • Roll hair in Velcro rollers, rolling straight up to chin level.
  • Let hair air dry or blow dry with a diffuser. (If you're going to blow dry, remember your heat protectant!
  • Gently remove the rollers, and set waves with a light hairspray.
  • Shake out and separate sections with your fingers if waves aren't loose enough.

Styling Tip: For extra sheen, mist damp hair with shine spray before removing rollers.
