- Start with dry hair in its natural texture. I also applied a curl-enhancing mousse while my hair was damp to help with creating the waves. I used Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse.
- Divide your hair into 6 sections. Make them as equal as you can so that the crimps are consistent with one another. You are also going to apply your heat protectant at this point. I used TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Leave-In Spray. After you brush through each section, begin braiding them and tie off the ends with a hair elastic (try not to use rubber so that you don’t need to worry about the hair straightener burning them into your hair).
- Run your hair straightener over each section. I held mine on each section of each braid for about 10 seconds and then ran them through a second time to make sure that the wave would hold.
- Let your hair completely cool off and then undo each of your braids. Spritz with a little hair spray (I used TRESemme Tres Two Spray) and voila! Perfect, crimped waves hair in under 30 minutes!

- Begin with dry hair in its natural state. I don’t apply any product before putting in my rollers, but you could apply a curl-enhancing mousse if you like.
- Before wrapping each section into a curler, run your curling iron through and do a quick curl just to heat up the section of hair. I also like to separate and pin each section that I am going to putting a curler in just so I don’t get confused when I am trying to curl and roll sections.

- For best results begin with clean, dry hair in your natural texture. Separate your hair to begin working on the bottom section. I typically separate my hair into thirds but depending on how thick your hair is you may want to do more or fewer sections.
- For each section, apply a heat protectant and brush out any knots. I used TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Leave-In Spray. (more…)

Step 1: The first step in creating big, bouncy curls is to apply a curl boosting mousse while the hair is still damp (you can also apply it to dry hair but it won’t spread out as evenly). I used Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse. (more…)
