Hair Tutorial

Friday, April 6, 2012

A lot of you have asked me how I do my hair in that wavy/beachy look - so here is the tutorial!

The tools you need: 
1 inch curling iron - I like Revlon's ceramic version
Hairspray - I use Pantene's classic in light hold so it stays but your hair is still touchable
 A boar bristle brush  - it smooths and makes hair shiny.

Also, start with hair that has some product in it, like a styling foam or mousse. You'll need your hair to have some holding power - second day hair works too!


I decided to do a video instead of pictures because I figured it would be easier to follow. This is my first video blog, so be kind! ;) Also, I sped up parts of the tutorial to shorten the video so you might see me talking in those parts but not hear anything - I'm not saying anything important! 

Another great hair tutorial for those pretty waves is by B. Jones and also this one using one of those curling wands.

    1. Funny cause my hair is NOT thick at all! I just have a lot of it. Sometimes I use a thickening spray before I dry it to help. The curl makes it look thicker - hope this works for you! :)

  11. This was adorable! I have a ton of hair so Im pretty sure it wouldn't look 1/2 as cute. I usually wish I had long hair, grow it out, then chop it off because it won't do anything. Maybe I should at least give it a chance b4 chopping it off this time.

  12. Very helpful! I'm just learning this technique so the way you did the back of your hair was very helpful to see. You are beautiful and this video was a delight to watch.

  14. You just rocked my hair stylin world!

    I have been curling my hair for years and never loved the results. A few small changes (hair spray before, brushing it out and mostly - letting it set before brushing) and viola! LOVE how it curls now!! Thank you!

    I am expecting (after years of infertility) and just week ahead of you so I love reading your updates. And I am addicted to your recipes you post - makes everything look so easy and delish! Best of luck with the last trimester we are about to enter! And congrats!! I know your journey has been a long one.

    Thanks for your blog! ~ R
