We've all seen those annoying films or T.V shows where the girl wakes up from a good nights sleep with perfect hair, and I bet you've all sat there, clutching a bowl of Ben and Jerry's wearing old p.j's yelling internally - "FRAUD!!" Well, no more must we watch these moments filled with jealously and rage because this quick and easy tutorial gives you all the ways you need to create the perfect 'woke up like this' curls, hope you enjoy!
1. Run some Smooth Serum through wet hair to ensure you get rid of frizz, my favourite is Umberto Giannini. Most days I'll use it, totally ignore my hair and focus on more important things like custard and Pinterest and then end up with fab beachy waves, no heat (or effort) needed. HOWEVER for something a little more 'groomed' might be worth putting the custard down (maybe that's just me) and following the next few steps!
2. Blow dry your hair, try doing this as smoothly as possible, so you won't need to straighten it before the curlers come out
3. Once hair is dry, or at least damp, it's often worth using some Mousse to ensure that the curls we create hold for a couple of days (especially if you intend on sleeping on them)
4. Separate hair into 3 layers (you might get away with 2 depending on length and thickness) then wrap a strand round the curling iron ensuring that you hold in a vertical angle for around 10 seconds (again if you've got thinner hair don't ignore the smoke and flames by counting to ten!) Once released spray each section with hairspray
5. Ok, I'm fully aware that at this point, we look ridiculous, like a weird Medusa vibe, but just stick with it. Drown this monstrosity with hairspray and DON'T TOUCH the curls until they've completely cooled, normally safe to leave it around 5 minutes. Then once it's safe, brush out the curls and give one final spritz with hairspray and BOOM left with soft, loose bouncy curls, which will last through a nights sleep (I'm the biggest fidget and they still hold so they're strong!) Now you can wake up like a Disney Princess and let the small woodland creatures get you ready for the day.
