| get fast waves with these 3 products: 1. cortex curling iron, 2. nym beach babe texturizing sea salt spray, 3. nym she's a tease volumizing hairspray |
I love hair products, tools, clips, you name it - love it all. I actually enjoy doing my hair - some days - those are the good hair days (obvi). Lately, I've been donning loose waves. I actually can get them done in a matter of minutes now, all thanks to one of the best christmas gifts ever - my clipless curling iron. I was luckily gifted one with four different sized barrel attachments (from my awesome mother-in-law, thanks Mary!) and I use it close to every day. The clipless-ness of it actually makes all the difference in the world. It leaves your hair with perfect waves and no weird spazy-kinky end pieces that traditional clamp curling irons leave behind. I now understand what my sister has been talking about (she got her's almost two years ago) and why celebrities always have those great waves.

Get this look in a handful of steps after the jump!
Here's how you can get the look:
- Curl small sections of hair with the 1" barrel attachment for your curling iron.
- Wrap the hair around the barrel while holding the wand vertically (on my left side I wrap down and on my right side I wrap up - it's just what naturally works for me - so see what works for you).
- Spray hair with a texturizing sea salt spray and comb through your hair with your fingers.
- I like to gather my hair into a low ponytail and with a brush, brush the very ends of my hair to soften them - making them look more Lauren Conrad and less Pollyanna.
- Finish by misting hair spray all over.
tip #1: You don't have to break the bank or wait for someone to gift you a clipless curling iron you can make the curling iron that you already have clipless at home!
tip #2: most important tip - USE THE GLOVE that the clipless curling iron comes with or buy one if your DIYing your own iron. you may want to wear a long sleeve shirt too, you thank yourself later when you are burn-mark free. I learned the hard way.
tip #3: Next day waves make for a great dirty twist hair.
you always make good waves! which size do you prefer out of the diameters?

i honestly use them all. if i want the wave to last longer i use the smaller barrels for a tighter curl that will loosen up over the day.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear hairspray. I've always had disappointing experiences with it. But this product is pretty damned great. I needed my hair to make it with the windy conditions we have out here. It doesn't take much, and it holds all day. And there is minimal flaking when I sleep with it in. I can reapply for a couple of days in a row, and my hair looks amazing with so much shine. Smells wonderful, too. Now, I use it everyday. I'll be sticking with this one. Thanks to beautflo.com for this amazing product.
