How to create effortless waves with your straightening iron || video tutorial

Last week my friend, Diana, e-mailed me with a request to teach her how to create waves with a straightening iron.

Admittedly, this technique takes a little bit of practice, but after a few times I promise you'll be able to do this too.

Before you start, be have the following items handy:

  • Dry shampoo (not mentioned in video) -- if the hair framing your forehead is on the greasy side, it's always best to prep this area first.
  • Flat/straightening iron with a slim profile, preferably with ceramic plates as I find it leaves hair with a smoother finish.
  • Texturising spray to set the waves.
  • A comb
  • A few hair clips to section the hair off.

My friend Diana recently asked for this tutorial -- here's hoping it helps :) Products mentioned in video: Muk Styling Stick 230-IR - http://www.mukusa.com/products/muk-style-stick-230-ir Or, similar: Remington T Studio Luxe Straightener - http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod11161023#reviews Bumble and Bumble's Thickening Dry Spun Spray (currently available in a gift set at the same price as an individual, full-size bottle) - http://www.sephora.com/full-cheer-P400111?skuId=1738012 Or, on its own - http://www.sephora.com/thickening-dryspun-finish-P381033?skuId=1540889 Tony& Guy Rough Texturiser Spray - https://www.priceline.com.au/toni-guy-casual-rough-texturiser-200-ml Comb - http://au.evohair.com/collections/tools/products/roy-wide-tooth-comb Clips - http://www.sallybeauty.com/metal-section-clips/SBS-292515,default,pd.html Let's Connect: Twitter - https://twitter.com/bagfulofnotions Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bagfulofnotions/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/bagfulofnotions/
