The Glitter Sky: Romantic Waves

Want to know how to create soft romantic waves effect?

I’m going to show you 2 types of waves to create the whole look – outer waves and inner waves using a 3 inch circular curling iron.

First, you’ll need to know what are outer waves and inner waves.

Outer waves are waves that curl away from your face and inner waves are waves that curl towards your face.

To start off, you’ll need to apply heat protector onto your hair (I use Redken’s). Around 2 pumps will do. Next apply hair mousse while you heat the curling iron.

Always separate your hair first before you begin to curl your hair.

In this case, you’ll need to separate it into 2 sections – top and bottom.

For the top part, I’m going to create outer waves for an airy effect. And for the bottom part, I’m going to create inner waves for a slim face effect.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the curler is angle on the correct direction. If you’re doing it yourself – always clamp your hair through front by placing the curler in front of you (whether is for the left side or right side of your hair). This is to avoid burning yourself. Also, the curl will be in different direction if you clamp your hair from behind.

To curl outer curl, take a small amount of hair, angle curler to horizontal and place the clamp on top of the hair. *Make sure that the clamp is on top and not below.

Next, drag it down to the hair end and slowly roll it underneath while angle the curler to near vertical. Hold it for few seconds. Release it and you’ll have a nice outer curl.

To create inner curl, take a small amount of hair, angle curler to horizontal and place the clamp underneath your hair this time.

Then, drag it down to the hair end and slowly roll it on top of your hair instead of underneath while angle the curler to near vertical. Hold it for few seconds and release it to get an inner curl.
