Curls & Waves

A rich auburn hue is the perfect complement to this cropped coif full of layered coils. Volume is infused at the crown by blow-drying hair with a round brush, and spirals are enhanced with a small curling iron. A subtle side part allows coils to gently cascade toward the chin and frame the face.

Try gorgeously golden mane shade and show off a mixture of blonde hues by creating curvy layers throughout the crown. Use small hot rollers to fashion cool curls and grab a flat iron to coax the fringe into a curved shape. Tousle hair with your fingers and finish with a touch of hairspray.

Play your best style game and model a style that will everyone looking your way. Prep damp strands with a bit of curl cream and diffuse curls. Once hair is dry, wrap lengths around a barrel curling iron to craft large coils and let your curls run wild! Runaway tendrils frame the face beautifully.

LAUREN ALAINA
LAUREN ALAINA showed off her amazing voice on Season 10 of American Idol, and we also enjoyed keeping track of her ever-changing coif moves! From sleek to curly, Lauren’s tresses always looked amazing. To recreate the country singer’s spiraled lengths, prep hair with a dollop of mousse and blow-dry layers with a round brush to create a nice base. Then use a large curling iron to craft big, loose waves. Finish with a light-hold hairspray for an all-day (and night!) hold.

    I love to have beachy waves. But I never had one in my life. Beachy waves are kinda styles that you wear it up on the beach all summer long. So wave it up baby, cause I,m coming to show up for you on a hot day.
