Quick and easy loose waves

🌊Loose waves! 🌊

Here is a quick tutorial on how to get these glam loose waves, in just minutes.

 I love this look as it's not as 'done' as the straightener curls look.

This is the tool I'm using to create this look. The Babyliss Pro Classic Hair Conical Tong 32mm-19mm. 

Here are some of the features of this wand:

• This wand allows you to create a number of different curls. 
• The 25 heat settings give you versatility and make the tong ideal for all hair types and thicknesses.
• Separate on/off switch Indicator lights
• Includes Free Protective black heat glove & Matt
• The salon length swivel-cord prevents tangles too!

The top of the barrel is the smallest part at just 19mm, to create tighter curls, and the bottom is 32mm to create a more looser, lived in wave. The very top of the wand has a protective nib so that you can hold it without burning yourself.

 The one disadvantage about this wand is that it does get particularly hot when on the hottest setting.(25) 

• grabbing large sections of hair, I like to divide my hair into 6 parts, 3 per side.
• take one of your sections and apply the wand pointing downward, so that your ends would go on the smallest part of the barrell.
• you can keep the wand horizontal, this creates more of a wave when taken out as apprised to a curl. Doing it this way means you can control more which part of the barrell your hair goes on.
• repeat all the way through your hair, going over any that don't turn out how you'd hoped.
• pull your hands through your hair and shake your head about abit to loosen up the curls.
• spray with hairspray, salt spray or apply your favourite texturiser.
• you'll find throughout the day your curls loosen. I tend to prefer mine on the second day when they are really 'lived in'.

In this picture I have simply pulled back my top layer into a loose low ponytail and secured with a thin bobble. I then took a piece of hair and wrapped it around the bobble to make a more 'knotted' look. I applied some salt spray my hair and brushed the waves out with a large paddle brush so they are not so set. 

Have you recreated got his look, let me know how you got on!
