How to Get Perfect Textured Waves

Got stick-straight hair and want to add some movement into your mane's mix? Then you're in luck. Tommy Buckett, a stylist from the Serge Normant Salon in NYC, shares his secret to getting cool-girl texture below.

1. Create imperfect spirals. "Start by wrapping your straight hair around the rod of a curling iron, leaving the ends out just a bit so they're not perfectly finished," Buckett says. "Then, switch up the way you wrap each section around the rod — one over and then another under and around — to make each spiral different from the next. This gives a more natural effect."

2. Scrunch up your strands. Buckett told hair Bianca to cup the ends of her hair and scrunch the whole way up to her roots to make the curls look piece-y.

3. Spritz your hair. To give it cool-girl texture and added volume, spray a thickening formula over your entire head. Bianca used Philip B. Maui Wowie Volumizing and Thickening Beach Mist.

4. Tug gently on your curls. "This will make them less curly, leaving you with a wavy texture," he says. 

Finally, add some bling — Bianca threw on a Jennifer Behr headpiece — pose and take a selfie of your gorgeously textured hair.
