Waves without the heat!

Now that Fall is here, it's time to give your hair a break from all the heat! So here is something I do when I want some wave in my hair, but don't feel like dealing with all those hot tools!

What you will need: mousse, hairspray,bobby pins (at least 10), and a shower cap (optional)



After you wash and towel dry your hair then follow these steps!

Step 1: apply mousse (or gel).  Depending on how long your hair is, use a dime size to a quarter. You don't want to use too much because you want soft waves.
Step 2: Take small sections of your hair and wrap it around your finger and pin with a bobby pin it so it stays - place these anywhere you want some waves. The smaller the section of hair, the curlier it is most likely to get.
Step 3: When you have your whole head sectioned and pinned, spray with hairspray.
Step 4 (optional): Cover your entire hair with shower cap. *this may prolong the drying time. If you have time then do this so you do not ruin your pinned curls*
Step 5: Let your hair air dry! The dryer your hair, the more your waves will stay.
Step 6: Take out all your bobby pins - Don't Brush! Use your fingers to comb through your hair
Step 7: Scrunch your hair with a little mouse - you don't want too much because then your hair will become hard. A nickle size be fine.
Step 8: Style as desired :) - Remember - Do not brush, comb through with fingers.

I hope this little tip helped with staying away from the heat. Since my hair is pretty long, I always try to avoid using any heat on my hair. This way of doing my hair leaves my hair with soft, manageable and natural looking waves.
