How to: Wavy Hair with No Heat - in less than an hour!

Hi all!!! Here is a simple way to get stylish wavy hair – and the whole process takes less than an hour!!! 

Start with freshly washed hair that has been air dried or blow dried (it doesn’t really make a difference). Basically, start with what your hair would look like after you had taken a shower and dried them. Try not to use any products that weigh the hair in addition to what you’ll be using for this styling technique, because it will remove the volume from this look. 

You will need a mousse that will add volume and texture to your hair. A great product that I have personally fallen in love with is the Lorvenn Paris X-Style Super Curl Mousse  

It actually does what it promised to do: maintain the curls and the hair’s natural elasticity and texture without weighing on the hair. The problem with most of the other mousse products I had previously tried was that they would make the hair too stiff without actually holding the style.

One product is all you'll need! If your hair is very dry, you might want to add a moisturizing serum to the ends only. 

 

Equally spread the mousse all over your hair, making sure to not add too much on the roots, because it might make them oily. You can flip your hair upside down for better control.

 Separate your hair into sections. Depending on the length and thickness of your hair, you can choose to add or remove sections, but I think that separating them into at least four sections (two on the lower part of your hear and two on the top of your head) will add more style as the curls will form differently and your hairstyle will look more layered. 

 

 Start twisting each section around itself (like in the picture to the left); you can twist the lower sections whichever way you want (towards the face or away) but definitely twist the upper sections away from the face. Also, try to make the upper sections as high as you can (almost at the top of your head) so you can get more volume if you wish to.

After twisting each section, wrap it around itself and secure it in place with an elastic band or a bobby pin. By the end, you should have four little “meatballs” on your head :P

Spray some hairspray on if your hair doesn’t hold curls easily and let your hair sit like this for as long as you can afford, but 45 minutes to an hour is more than enough. The longer you leave it, the tighter the curls will be.

Your sections should look like this...

When ready, untangle each “meatball”, flip over and run your hands through your hair to “open” the curls and make them look more natural. Flip your hair again and style accordingly. I love splitting my hair on the side, because I feel it makes the curls look more elegant and stylish. 

 

That’s it! You get lovely wavy hair without the use of a heating tools or having to sleep uncomfortably because your hair is wrapped up in something weird :P In order to wear your hair the same way on the next day, simply split it again into the number of sections you had before, repeat the same twisting process and let it sit. Easy, fast and stylish! 

Enjoy ;)
