The look in one line

Side-part Hollywood waves: curls set in one direction, brushed out into S-shaped waves.

Steps

  1. Make a deep side part.
  2. Curl small sections with a curling iron, all in the same direction.
  3. Pin each curl flat while it cools.
  4. Leave the curls to set for up to an hour.
  5. Take out the pins and brush the curls out into waves.
  6. Mist with hairspray. If the waves drop, set them for longer next time.

The finished look

You need
