How to Get Tousled Wavy Hair for Every Length'Tis the season for sexy tousled hair. Get your beach-worthy hair now |
Medium-length hair how-to continued: Step 3: Blast each mini bun with a blow dryer, until your hair is dry and the bobby pins feel hot, Thomas says. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes. Let the buns cool down before removing the pins.
Step 4: If you feel your hair is too curly, use a medium-sized round brush and a blow dryer to smooth out the hair that frames your face and the top layer of your hair around your part. Make sure to direct the hair away from your face.
Step 5: With a 3/4-inch curling iron, wrap small sections of hair around the iron that are too straight or too curly. Just wrap from mid-shaft of the hair to the ends.
Step 6: Smooth a dime to nickel-sized amount of styling wax on your waves to tame frizz and define strands. Tousle your hands through your hair as you apply.

I tried the mini buns once and they looked great for a couple of hours and then they fell out. I didn't use any product thought, hopefully this time around they will stick around

These are pretty good tips, though I can never use the bristle brush, but I like the idea of no curlers. For my hair though I use 2" curls and spritz and they settle with 15min and I spritz again. I'm gonna try the mini buns and I hope they work. Never though it would work because I'm not a fan of the blow dryer.

I'm going to give it a try! Looks easy, but we will see. I have really fine hair and not a lot of it! Wish me luck!

I use the diffuser on my long hair. The mini bun tangled my hair.

Great article! My long hair is naturally curly, so I have to tame it down to achieve this look. Definitely worth trying!
