Wavy Hair Style

How to get sexy wavy hair like Jessica Simpson or Rachel Bilson (pictured). This look isn't about to go out of style anytime soon. Wavy hair is hot, hot, hot. Find out how to give yourself the red carpet look.

Difficulty: Average Time Required: 30 minutes - 1 hour, depending on length and thickness of hair

Here's How:

Turn your hair upside down and spray freshly washed roots with volumizing or texturizing spray. Massage it in (stylist Garren insists the rubbing motion creates body and texture).

If hair is naturally course or curly, work a straightening balm through the hair.

Brush hair (this works the product evenly throughout hair).

Blowdry hair straight, starting at the roots to get extra volume. Hair must be completely dry for this look to work. Blow dry with cold air at the roots to add volume (cold air locks in a style).

Separate hair into three sections, securing each with a ponytail holder. (It's easier this way to curl your way through each section).

To curl hair, use a wide-barrel curling iron. Starting with one section, take a 1-inch portion of hair, spritz it with styling spray (again, I love Bumble and Bumble Styling Spray) or hairspray. Wrap hair around the barrel of the curling iron. (Wrapping hair is different from the traditional curling method. You don't want to 'clip' hair into the barrel. Wrapping allows you to curl all the way to the root). When you're curling, make sure to leave ends loose to avoid a crimp mark.

Release the curl after about 5-10 seconds (hold longer if you want a tighter curl). You should have a corkscrew curl.

Roll curl and bobby pin it close to the scalp. (I'm lazy, so I usually skip this step to save time).

Alternate the direction of the curl as you work your way through each section. (It's all in the direction you wind hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Start by placing hair on top of the barrel and wrapping around, then switch by putting the barrel on top of the hair before winding it around).

Alternating directions makes your curls look more natural. Some curls can remain tight, some loose. Once pinned curls have cooled, release them.

Remove the nozzle from dryer and gently loosen waves with cool air. You can also separate curls with your fingers, just make sure not to brush them out.

To add shine, spritz a hair serum . I recommend Paul Mitchells Super Skinny Serum which you can find at www.realsalonproducts.com. Here you can find unbeatable prices.

Set with hairspray. Just don't overdue it, you don't want new waves to feel or look "crunchy." You want them to look as natural as can be.
