Seat yourself in front of a mirror. A full length mirror is best, but any will do in a pinch.
Step2
Separate your hair into three sections vertically. If your hair is thick, consider adding more sections. The thinner the sections, the more defined the wave will be.
Step3
Bind the layers so that only the bottom one is loose.
Step4
Plug in the curling iron and let it heat up. While you wait, brush the loose section flat.
Step5
Section the loose hair so that you will be working from one side to the other with your iron. Start at the root of your hair and clamp the section so that the hair is held between the tongs of the iron (not wrapped!). Hold for five seconds, release, and slide the iron down to the next spot of your section that hasn't yet been styled.
Step6
Work your way down each section and then move on to the section next to it. Repeat this until you've completed the loose section.
Step7
Loosely bind the completed section, preferably with a clip to avoid damaging the style.
Step8
Release a bound section and repeat steps 5 and 6.
Step9
Repeat step 8 until all hair is waved.
Step10
Release all waves from their clips. Lightly finger style and spray for a sleek, flat look, or flip your head upside down and spray generously for a funky, wild style.
