Hi everyone!
This weeks hair tutorial is something I have been doing for a while and I do get a number of questions how I get this style. I thought it was something quite basic to do to your hair but it seemed that not many people know how to do their hair like this. So lets get into the tutorial!
This weeks hair tutorial is something I have been doing for a while and I do get a number of questions how I get this style. I thought it was something quite basic to do to your hair but it seemed that not many people know how to do their hair like this. So lets get into the tutorial!
Part one:
1) Firstly, you're going to need to start off with damp hair. I washed my hair and towel dried it before going into the method. You need to have it fairly damp otherwise your hair won't dry by the time you wake up and you'll wake up with partially damp hair which isn't very nice! Brush your hair and separate it over your shoulders to make it easier to section.
2) This step is optional: You can add in some serum/oil to the ends of your hair to ensure that the waves are soft when taking them out in the next morning!
3) Another optional step(s): You can do this method with no heat at all, but there is a step that you can use heat for this method. If you follow the heated way (the normal way I do this) I would advise a heat protectant for your hair.
4) Spray the heat protectant evenly throughout your hair.

5) Take a large clip and section your hair from the ear upwards.
Part two:
1) I start to braid the hair. I don't know what the name of this braid is, but if you would like to follow how its done I'll explain in these steps and the images have colours to follow to make it easier! Firstly, separate the section into 3 pieces.
2) From the left strand (red) move it under the middle piece (yellow.)
3) Then from the right, move the (green) section into the middle and the (red) moves into the (greens) position.
4) Try and follow until you produce a braid/plait. If in doubt, just YouTube how to braid and it should come up!
5) Continue and try to go as long as you can on the section of hair. This will prevent the ends of your hair looking completely straight when you've taken the braids out.
6) Using a thin hairband, tie and secure the ends. Then move onto your next braid.

If you do 3 or more braids around your head, what I normally do is pin back the ones that get in my way by using large slide clips:
Then all you need to do is fall asleep to let the braids dry overnight! If you want the braids to stay in all day, you can run a straightener along each braid in the morning (which is what I normally do!) This prevents you from having to use loads of hairspray in the morning! (Hence the oil and heat protecter.) Then you can take out the braids and you should end up with beautiful waves!
Top Tips:
1) Larger sections for braids will create larger waves and vice versa.
2) If hair is sopping wet, the braids won't dry causing you to have to blow dry your hair in the morning and the waves will fall out.
3) You can do this method with dry hair, but I feel as if the results aren't as good.
4) Sometimes the waves come out very tight, you can either use a paddle brush or your fingers to loosen them.
