Adding texture to hair is one of the best ways to truly show off hair color or make a statement with a style. When it comes to waves, there are various styles from beachy to undone or more deliberate in shape. In this tutorial, David Corbett of David Corbett Hairdressing in Bothwell, Glasgow is giving his tips and techniques to creating this stunning editorial wave with an avant-garde flair.
The Steps:
- Prep hair by washing, conditioning and blow-drying straight. Make sure you use a blow-drying styler for heat protection.
- Split the hair into front and back sections. Part the front section into a middle parting.
- Pin the three sections of hair up. You may want to split the back section into two sections if there is a lot of hair. Starting at the nape of the neck, wave the hair from the bottom to the top using a curling iron. This is time-consuming as you want to make sure your waves all lie on top of each other.
- Wave the hair from where you would like the wave to start. When you start your second section make sure your waves line up. When complete, secure to the previous section with silver pronged clips. These help to set the hair as the hair cools.
- Once all your waves are complete, leave to cool thoroughly.
- Once cool, brush the waves working gently from the bottom with a boar bristle brush to create soft, angelic waves. Use the side of your hand to define each wave once brushed. Do not overburden the hair with hairspray so they are free to flow.
