Easy Ways to Create Wavy Hair Like Jessica Simpson
Have you ever wanted to have sexy, wavy hair like Jessica Simpson or Rachel Bilson? When you see how lovely their hair always looks its hard not to get a little envious! Of course, they’ve got lots of help fixing those luscious curls!
The truth is though, that you can create your own waves and curls that has a similar look in just a short time if you have the right tools and products. Curls and waves will always be stylish!
Before curling your hair, be sure to wash and dry it previously. To get the longest lasting curls, your hair should not be freshly washed. Hair that is too clean won’t hold your style as long. For best results, I would suggest washing your hair before you want to style it, then waiting a day before styling it.
If you want a
curly glamorous style
without the fuss,
here are a few ideas
on how to create your
own red carpet look.
For the longest lasting style, start with damp or slightly damp hair.
What You Need:
* Volumizing spray * Straightening balm (if you have thick, curly, or course hair) * Hair dryer * 1" barrel curling iron * Hair ties or clips * Bobby pins * Shine serum * Hairspray * Saltwater spray or fine mist
How to Create Luscious Curly, Wavy Hair
1. Turn your head upside down and spray your roots with volumizing or texturizing spray. Massage it into the roots. I like Bumble and Bumble Glisten Volumizing Spray, or you can try Aveda Retexturizing Gel. If hair is naturally course or curly, work a straightening crème or gel through your hair. Then apply a styling gel to the mid shaft and ends.
2. Brush or gently comb out your hair. This evenly distributes the products throughout your hair. Blow dry your hair straight, starting at the roots to get extra volume. Hair must be completely dry for this look to work. Blow cold air at the roots to add volume Cold air locks in a style and creates more shine.
3. Separate hair into three sections, securing with hair clips or hair ties. It's easier to curl one section at a time.
4. To curl hair, use a wide-barrel curling iron. Start with one section and take a 1" portion of hair, spritz it with styling spray or hairspray. Wrap the 1" section of hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Wrapping hair is different from the traditional curling method. Don’t 'clip' hair into the barrel. Instead, wrap it around the barrel. Wrapping allows you to curl all the way to the root. When you're wrapping, make sure to leave ends loose to avoid crimp marks.
Release the curl after about 5-10 seconds or hold longer if you want a tighter curl. Hold the iron vertical, not horizontal. You should have a spiral or corkscrew curl.
6. Roll up the curl and bobby pin it close to the scalp.
7. Alternate the direction of the curl as you work your way through each section. The style you create is in the direction you wind hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Start by placing hair on top of the barrel and wrapping it around the barrel for one curl, then switch by putting the barrel on top of the hair before winding it around the next curl. Alternating directions makes curls look more natural. Some curls can remain tight, some loose curls.
8. Once you've completed curling all of your hair and pinned curls have cooled, release them. You should have lots of wavy hair!
9. Gently loosen waves with a diffused shot of cool air from your blow dryer on the low setting. Or you can separate curls with your fingers. Just make sure not to brush them out.
10. To add shine, spritz a hair serum like Biosilk Silk Therapy. You can do without hair serum and spritz with a saltwater spray instead if you like. John Frieda makes a Beach Blonde Ocean Waves Sea spray or Tousled Tresses Fine Mist Wax, that has very good reviews!
11. Set with a flexible or medium hold hairspray. Just don't overdo it. You won't want your curls to feel stiff.
You should now have wavy hair that looks great! You don't have to be a movie star to have wavy hair with glamorous style!
