Crimp Craze

Kouturekiss _ Crimp Craze

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
