1. If you don’t have naturally wavy hair, you’re going to need to fake it! So start by prepping your strands with the TRESemmé Heat Defence Spray, to help safeguard them from any damage incurred by heated styling tools.

2. Next, take a comb and create a deep side parting. Then, working with 2-3 inch wide sections of hair at a time, curl your strands with a large barrel curling tong. Once you’ve curled your entire head, gently run your fingers through your mane to separate your curls, before spritzing some VO5 Wave Creation Hairspray, to help set them in place.

3. Then, sweep all of your tresses to the opposite side to your parting. On the side of your parting with the least hair, ensure that you have neatly combed your strands and tuck them behind your ear for a smooth finish.

4. Now for the fun part: squirt some VO5 Wet Look Styling Gel into your hair, and then pour some coloured glitter on top (in our opinion, the brighter, the better!). Mix the hair gel and glitter together with your fingers, until you’ve formed a sparkly paste!

5. Carefully apply the glitter to the side of your parting with the least hair, by smoothing your hand over your mane, from the roots to around ear height. If there are any sparse gaps, use your fingers to blend in the glitter.

Remember: you can use a much (or as little) glitter as you like – but if you ask us, the more, the merrier!
