Why this worksSpring textured waves are all about creating soft, natural movement in your hair. This style works by enhancing your hair's natural texture while adding a bit of bounce. The right technique can make your waves look effortlessly chic, giving off that 'just came from the beach' vibe without the salt.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a lightweight mousse or sea salt spray to add grip and texture, which helps the waves hold their shape throughout the day.
  2. Section Your Hair Divide your hair into manageable sections, about 1-2 inches wide. This ensures that each strand gets the attention it needs for uniform waves.
  3. Use a Curling Wand Wrap each section around a curling wand, alternating the direction for a more natural look. Hold it for 5-10 seconds, then release. Remember, go gently to avoid heat damage.
  4. Loosen the Waves Once all sections are curled, gently run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls. This creates that tousled, effortless wave look that’s perfect for spring.
  5. Set the Style Finish with a light-hold hair spray to keep your waves in place without making them crunchy. This adds a touch of texture while maintaining that soft finish.

Where people go wrong

Common mistakes include using hair that's too wet or heavy products that weigh down the waves. Also, curling all sections in the same direction can make the look too uniform. Remember to allow your curls to cool before touching them!

The pro moveFor extra volume, flip your head upside down while spritzing your waves to enhance the lift at the roots.
