What You’ll Need
- A spray bottle
- Hair mousse
- Hair ties
- A soft, fabric headband
- Hairspray
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
Start by dampening your hair using a spray bottle filled with water. Avoid soaking it, as excessive moisture may hinder styling. Then, apply a golf ball-sized amount of hair mousse to your damp hair from roots to ends. This will provide hold and texture to your waves.
Step 2: Divide and Conquer
Divide your hair into two equal sections: left and right. Secure each section with a hair tie to keep them separate during the process.
Step 3: Twist and Loop
Take one section of your hair and split it into two smaller sections. Twist these sections around each other until you reach the ends. Once twisted, form a loose loop and secure it with another hair tie. Repeat this process with the other section of your hair.
Step 4: Wrap It Up
Place a soft, fabric headband around your head, positioning it right above your forehead. Then, take one of the twisted loops and tuck it into the headband, ensuring it is secured. Repeat with the other loop.
Step 5: Beauty Sleep
Now it’s time to get some shut-eye. The twisting and looping technique, combined with the headband, will allow your hair to dry and set overnight. Sweet dreams!
Step 6: Unveil Your Waves
When you wake up in the morning, gently remove the headband and untie the hair loops. Let your hair down and run your fingers through the waves to separate them. If desired, lightly spritz your waves with hairspray to ensure they stay in place throughout the day.
