Creating waves with a curling iron is a time-Consuming task, which makes wavy hair a fun and glamorous hairstyle for work or play.Thankfully, there is a way to get flowing waves in a fraction of the time and with no heat damage.You can wake up with the waves you want if you sleep in braids.
Step 1: If your hair is straight, wash it.
It is important that you have clean hair for your braids.If the hair is straight and silky, the conditioner can make it too silky.Don't use conditioner if your hair is very coarse and tangled.It will affect how well your waves hold.
Step 2: You can dry your hair by squeezing it out.
By pressing out the water, you can avoid the frizz that comes from using a normal towel.If you wrap your hair with a towel, it can cause a roughening of the hair shaft.It is important to be gentle with wet hair.If you can't squeeze out all the water with your hands, invest in a microfiber towel or a smooth cotton shirt.While avoiding the rough texture of a normal towel, you can use these to press out the excess water.
Step 3: You can use a sea salt spray on your hair.
You can brush your hair out with a wide tooth comb.Sea salt spray can be used to add texture to damp hair.The same waves created by ocean water can be created with a sea salt spray.Sea salt can be applied to your hair.The label on the spray will usually say to scrunch your hair, but the braids will do it for you.You don't need a sea salt spray to get perfect waves.Any product that gives your hair some holding power, like a styling spray for wet hair, will work.Curling cream can also be used.Adding these products to your hair will help it hold waves.Adding a product may help to prevent hair loss, but you can skip the product completely if you want.You can experiment with your hair to see what works best for you.Before you comb it out, make sure your hair is untangled.
Step 4: If you have afro hair, skip the water.
It is possible to strip away precious natural oils from your hair by washing it regularly.If you wet your hair, it will form tighter curls than you want.You could use an oil on dry hair to create your braids.If you want to start with clean hair, you can wash and condition it, and then blow dry it while it is in braids.When you remove the braids, it will create waves.
Step 5: You have to separate your hair.
The amount of sections depends on how loose you want your waves to be.The looser your waves are, the more hair you have in a section.You may only need one or two sections if you have very thin hair.If you have thick hair, you might want to separate it.Take the hair out of the way.
Step 6: Each section of hair is braided.
If you braid loose, you can create soft waves.Waves will start wherever the braids start.If you want to have smooth hair at the top of your head and loose waves around your face, start your braid lower.Start the braid near the root if you want waves at the top.Three strand braids work well.French braids and fishtail braids can be used to experiment with different waves.
Step 7: You can coat afro-textured hair.
You can use any kind of leave-in hair product.Coconut oil, shea butter, and olive oil are good choices.Make sure you lather your hands with the product.You can create your braids.Depending on how thick your braids are and how tight you braid your hair, you can create waves.Try different methods until you find the right one.
Step 8: Attach each braid to a hair tie.
If you want to avoid having pin straight tips when you awaken, try to braid each strand to the end.The end of the braid can be too tightly tied.If you toss and turn during the night, make sure the elastic holds the braid, but not so tightly that it will crush the strands.If you use cloth elastics instead of rubber, you can avoid the indent and prevent damage.If you have coarse or afro-textured hair, you can skip this step.Go to sleep!Your braids will be dry.
Step 9: Your braids should be dry.
If you braided your hair when it was wet, it may be a bit damp when you wake up.If you have to, run a hairdryer over your hair.
Step 10: Take your braids off.
Run your fingers through your hair after you have removed the hair ties and undone the braids.Blending the sections back together will help smooth out the waves.Do not brush your hair.The waves created by the braids will be ruined by this.
Step 11: It's a good idea to style and spray with thwirp.
You can style your hair as you normally would.Wear your waves down, throw them in a ponytail, or tie them half up, half down.Any hairstyle will benefit from your waves.If you're not satisfied with your hair, spray it with a hair product.Your waves will last throughout the day with this.
