Hello!
I thought I'd share one of my favourite hair styles and some top tips on the best way to do it! I wear this most of the time, because I have dead straight hair and I don't like to use heat on it too much.
I start by washing my hair, with the Wash and Go 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner. The reason I don't use separate shampoo and conditioner is because I find it makes my hair become greasy much quicker. I then wrap my hair up with a old t-shirt instead of a towel and it makes the hair less frizzy.
Once I've got all the excess water off I leave my hair roughly 45 minutes to an hour
TOP TIP- do not plait your hair straight away! especially if you have thick hair like me. It will not be dry before the morning and you will have horrible half wet waves. Always leave it to naturally dry for a while.
Once I think it's dry enough I will take a paddle hairbrush and just make sure there is no knots. Then put it in a middle parting and tie one side up.
Depending on how big you want the waves, pick how much hair you want in your individual plaits. Then take the hair and do a normal plait from the top to as far down as you can go.
TOP TIP- If you don't have enough hairbands you can use elastic bands. Personally I recommend using them anyway, as you can plait the hair all the way to the bottom better and there is less of a gap of waves when you take it out.
Plait like this all the way around your head, making sure you get roughly the same amount of hair all the way round. I then put in a bit of sea salt spray so that in the morning it looks more 'beachy'.
TOP TIP- Spray each plait with a bit of hairspray. Make sure it's not a full hold one as I tend to find they make your hair feel kind of plastic - like and horrible. Putting hairspray on them makes them stay in longer the next way, as well as making the waves come out a lot better.
Then just sleep! You can put them up into a bun if you want to, but if not just go to sleep like that. When you wake up take the plaits out one by one. And volá, you have wavy/crimped hair!
TOP TIP- I like to them brush my hair out, it makes it look more natural, and just ensures you have no knots. I then put in a bit more sea salt spray and hairspray to perfect the look at you're done!
You can do half up half down, or clip the front bits. Whatever you wish, but I like to just leave it down. It's so simple to do, and looks so nice.
Thank you for reading, I hope you enoyed and tell me if you do this hairstyle.
Love,
