How to Get the Loose Waves You Always Wanted

The more hair you wrap in the iron the looser your curls will be!

 Long soft waves

How-To: After washing and blow drying your hair, flip head over and mist hair with a very light hold hairspray. Take a 1 ¼-inch curling iron and wrap one-inch sections around the iron for five to 10 seconds.  (The more hair you wrap in the iron the looser your curls will be!)  Break up curls with your fingers and smooth sections around the face with your fingertips.  Once you achieve the loose curls, you can finish with a light mist of hairspray.

L&A Tip: The amount of time you hold your hair in a curling iron depends on how well your hair holds curls. Do a shorter amount of time for naturally-wavy hair. Longer for straight hair!
