Need a subtle yet sexy style for a night out on the town? Hair stylist Joshua Ristaino shows you the way.
1. Comb
2. Large styling clips
3. Large barrel curling iron
4. Pinch hair clips
5. Bobby pins
6. Boar bristle paddle brush
7. Sectioning clips
1. Part your hair in line with the arch of your right eyebrow. Use a comb to make the line perfectly straight, like model and interior designer Lindsay Marcella did here.
2. Section your hair into several sections (back, sides, front) using styling clips, like Harry Josh Pro Styling Clips. Curl the top section of your hair with a large barrel curling iron (Lindsay used Conair 1.5-Inch Ceramic Curling Iron), wrapping it over and around the barrel. Then, keeping the curl in a circular formation as you release it from the iron, pin the curl with a pinch hair clip as it cools and sets. Make three rows of curls this way.
3. Make sure all your hair is clipped into place while your curls cool. This will cause the curl to hold longer.
4. Curl the next 1.5-inch section of hair along the right side of your head, wrapping your hair under the barrel and away from your face. Curling your hair this way will draw focus to your face by opening it up. As you continue to curl your hair in 1.5-inch segments, alternate how you curl each section between wrapping the hair over the barrel, and under the barrel. This will differentiate the way the S-curves you'll create in step seven will lie.
5. Continue securing every curl on your head with a pinch hair clip.
6. Brush out your curls with a boar bristle brush. This helps work your hair into a more uniform wave. Lindsay used a Mason Pearson Boar Bristle Brush here.
7. Insert a long silver sectioning clip any part where the wave juts toward the back of your head. This will help exaggerate the indent and secure it while you do your makeup. When you remove the clips, the glamorous waves will be locked into place even more.
Finally, remove the sectioning clips, hit your hair with hairspray, and go!
