The style To remind Theresa she doesn't have to spend hours with her flat iron, Olson has fellow stylist Reanna Garcia simply smooth out Theresa's natural curls to create silky waves. Garcia starts by applying a light volumizing spray then blows out her hair using a flat paddle brush. Once her hair is dry, she uses a one-and-a-quarter inch curling iron to create a loose wave. "We did this because she has naturally wavy hair, so obviously [the curly style] is what will look best on her. We just created a more polished version of her natural hair," says Olson. She finished by misting the look with a light-hold hairspray (try Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Satin Hold Hairspray, $4.49).

she looks cute and all, but what do her natural curls look like after all this?

Great look for her but this girl is a pretty basic type,pretty low maintenance and what do you do to her? You process her hair,straighten it and than curl it to your liking! That is something she could have done whenever she wanted to but she obviously did not want to,she does not need you to do that,she most likely wanted you to show her the simplest yet most effective way to style her naturals curls. I have straight hair and I hate straightening it out,I can only imagine how it is boring and frustrating to straighten curly hair,and why changing the natural texture of the hair???
