How To: Get Perfectly Tousled Waves

Yet another reason to hate Gisele Bundchen: that frustratingly gorgeous wavy hair she’s always tossing around in our faces. Want perfectly imperfect waves like Gisele’s? Here’s a guide on getting wavy with it:

YOU’LL NEED:

• A wide-toothed comb;
• A medium-sized curling iron (think 1″ barrel-ish);
• Some leave-in conditioner to set your hair; and
• A pack of bobby pins. (If you have to buy some, get the ones that match your hair color. It’s not necessary for this style, but they’re useful in general.)

STEP-BY-STEP WAVY GOODNESS:

1. Shampoo and condition your hair as usual, then gently towel-dry it. (Don’t rub it, though.)
2. If your hair is naturally straight or wavy, mist all over with a leave-in conditioner. If you’re naturally curly like these ladies (shoutout!), pull the leave-in conditioner through small sections of your hair to loosen your curls.
3. Divide your hair into 10-15 sections, depending upon the thickness of your hair. Twist, roll and pin each section against your scalp.
4. Let hair air-dry overnight, then remover hairpins in the morning and use your fingers to separate the waves.
5. Touch up your waves by wrapping small sections around a medium-sized curling iron. If your hair is straight/wavy, hold the curl for three seconds, then release. Curly girls: hold for six seconds to turn tight curls into loose waves.

TIP: To keep your wavy hair frizz-free and defined, don’t comb it through once your hair is dry. Instead, use your fingers to scrunch of twirl them.
