Back to Curl Central: Styles Style: Natural Wave
Soft, loose waves are all about ease and elegance. A diffuser and your fingertips are all you need to create this special occasion style. You can purchase all the products used to Get This Look as a special product set. Look for it at the bottom of this page!

	1. Begin with freshly shampooed and conditioned hair. Water Works Shampoo helps keep the sparkle in grey or silver hair and Play Curl Conditioner is great for volume. 2. After patting away excess water spray the hair with Summer/Sun Shield to help retain moisture.
	3. Apply Play Curl Mousse throughout hair, then in sections (starting from the bottom) set your hair with your hands, using your fingers to shake and rake to position and set the curls apart, working your way up to the top. Rake & Shake: Use your open fingers to rake a section of hair. When you�ve reached the ends, move your fingers together for a tighter grip and shake the hair so the natural wave appears. Use this motion to create the desired curl pattern and position. Note: The amount of hair between your fingers determines the curl�s diameter, so the more hair, the looser the curl, less hair, the bouncier the curl.
	4. Place the clips in your hair any place you want to add more height, then spray lightly with the Styling Mist and diffuse on warm heat to dry the hair, using fingers to lift and separate curls as you diffuse. Tip: If you have the time it�s even better to let your hair dry naturally, especially in the summer, as this will help prevent frizz
Let curls form naturally with a diffuser... Using a diffuser attachment on a blow dryer allows hair to take on it's natural curl as it drys. These three shots show how the curls slowly take shape.
	5. Once the hair is dry put a pea size dollop of Clear Control in your palms, rub together, and then gently run your hands over your hair to soften your curls, using fingers to position as desired. 6. You can also apply very little Clear Control pomade to each of your curl sections to add shine. 7. Finish off with the Styling Mist.
