Get the Look: Soft Hair Waves
Start with clean hair.
When styling your hair, you’ll need to wash and condition it to ensure that it gets proper moisture. Try out the Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo followed by Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner. Once dry, prep your hair with some TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray. Then blow-dry your hair straight, if needed.
Create soft waves with a hair wand.
Curl 1-inch subsections of hair with a hair wand to create your soft waves.
Pincurl as you style.
