How to Get Pretty Waves!

Hey everyone!
I thought I'd post the routine I use to make super soft, pretty waves. My hair is quite frizz prone and this routine helps to combat frizz. Please remember that your hair may not be able to take all the products I pour into mine because mine is super thick.

1. I shampoo and condition my hair using either Herbal Essences Hydralicious or Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner.

2. For super deep conditioning when my hair is really dry, I use Garnier Fructis 3 minute masque deep conditioner. (Tip: for shiny hair, the last time you rinse, use ice cold water.)

3. Next, I wrap my hair in a towel, turban style, and press to get out the excess water.

4. Then, using a wide toothed comb, I gently brush out the tangles. DO NOT USE A BRUSH! Trust me, this will ruin your hair.

5. Next I squeeze a quarter sized amount of Herbal Essences None of Your Frizzness smoothing leave in creme through my hair, focusing on the ends and then comb it through again to ensure it's applied evenly.

6. Now I braid my hair in two braids and spray them with Herbal Essences Set Me Up hairspray.

7. The next morning, if the braids are not dry (which they usually aren't) I use a blow dryer on them until completely dry and spray them again with hairspray.

8. Then I take out the braids and gently tousle the waves, adding a little bit more of None of Your Frizzness.

9. Next I use Garnier Fructis Sleek Shine serum to make sure my hair is super shiny. (Note, if your hair is oily, skip this).

Voila! Beautiful waves!

You may need to tweak this routine for your hair type but this is what I do ^^^

Enjoy!
