Towel dry your hair. Add a cream or leave-in conditioner that enhances and defines curls while controlling frizz. Using your fingers, tousle and lift your curls to keep them defined yet relaxed. Let hair air dry for a soft, natural look, or blow dry with a diffuser on low heat to maintain curl shape. Once dry, gently separate curls with your fingers for added volume. Finish with a light oil or serum to add shine and control frizz.
Start with damp hair. Apply a sea salt spray or curl cream to enhance waves and add texture. Using your hands, scrunch your hair to bring out your waves’ natural texture and shape. Let air dry for a relaxed look, or blow dry with a diffuser on low heat to enhance your waves. Once dry, gently fluff and separate waves with your fingers for added volume. Finish with a light hold hairspray.
Towel dry hair. Apply a smoothing cream or serum to add shine and control frizz. Using a blow dryer and round brush, slowly lift hair from the roots, following the brush with the hair dryer down the length of the hair, then curling slightly inward at the ends for a polished look. For a sleeker finish, run a flat iron along sections of the hair, focusing on the ends. Finish with a light hold hairspray.
