How it is done

  1. 10:00Start with freshly washed hair. Hers is relaxed, which helps the comb glide through more smoothly.
  2. 20:31Part the hair and comb it out, then apply a styling foam or mousse to wrap and mold it.
  3. 31:07Starting at the side, use a fine-tooth rat-tail comb to comb the hair into S-shapes and make as many waves as you can.
  4. 41:36Where the hair on top is longer, hold each wave in place with your fingers while you form the next one.
  5. 52:38Do the front first so it guides the rest, then move on to the front middle with the same S-shape process.
  6. 63:08Add more mousse wherever the hair starts to dry out or the waves aren't smooth.
  7. 74:59Wave the back by feel, using a hand mirror to see what you're doing.
  8. 86:10Go back and perfect any waves that need fixing, especially around the sideburns.
  9. 96:49Set the waves with wrap strips while the hair dries.
