Get The Look: Flat Iron Wave Tutorial

As fall fashion is unveiled and we swap air-drying for heat styling, clients are on the search for quick and easy styles that can accentuate their latest look. From touching up second-day strands to quickly upgrading your blowout, flat iron waves are the answer to both of your concerns! Keep reading for some of our top tips to prep your hair and the steps to create the look below!

Style Prep

Start In The Shower:

If you’re starting a style from scratch, getting hair clean and adequately moisturized is key. Be sure to pick a formula that will add volume and movement without stripping the hair of essential oils that help cut down on damage.

Utilize Wella Professionals Invigo Volume Boost Bodifying Shampoo and Volume Boost Crystal Mask in the shower to provide manageability and shine without weighing the hair down. This duo is essential to create the foundation of fullness and body.

The Steps:

Step 1: Spray Wella Professionals EIMI Perfect Setting Hair Spray on damp hair for added hold, shine and heat protection.

Step 2: Twist the hair and blow-dry to create a soft wave.

Step 3: Then, for nourishment and heat protection, spray Wella Professionals EIMI Smooth Thermal Image throughout strands.

Step 4: Separate vertical sections and use the GHD Styler to create flat iron waves. Be sure to alternate the direction of the curls for more volume and curl away from the face for a low key look.

Step 5: For a lived-in finish, gently tousle the hair with the hairdryer on a cool setting to break up the waves.

Step 6: To create long-lasting hold and humidity protection with a touchable finish, mist with Wella Professionals EIMI Fixing Stay Firm.

Second-Day Strands:

Feeling like your blowout fell flat? Revive second-day strands with a touch of dry shampoo and a flip of the iron! If you can remember, spritz Wella Professionals EIMI Volume Dry Me Dry Shampoo into your hair before sleeping, or in the morning before coffee. Giving the dry shampoo time to absorb oil and refresh strands can make a big difference in your results. Once the hair feels refresh, simply follow Steps 3-6 from above.
