Make my hair like this?!

[Corkina]

Anyone know how I can achieve a look similar to the pics below, by myself, complete bore with my blonde poker straightened hair, without breaking the bank, and not great with clips / rollers, don't possess any of that stuff, is there an easy machine/ heating curling iron or something I can use or is the dyson air wrap the holy grail..thanks

Straightener waves/ curls

Hi OP I can achieve similar using my curling wand. I hold it downwards vertically and wrap the hair round manually (rather than rolling the barrel to create curls), leaving out the very ends. I learnt from a Nadine Baggott video. Will try to find it.

Have you tried using your straighteners

To make waves I mean. The top one looks doable with straightners

I’ve just brought this, still getting the hang of it as I’m rubbish at girly things

The bottom one looks like a wand, top one straightener curls/waves there are loads of tutorials online.

I love my babyliss curl secret for creating curls

Thank you all. I'll give a proper read, look at tutorials. Think I thought there would be some gizmo out there where you chick some hair in and it makes it wavy.

This is so helpful @Flyinggeese1234! I'm going to try it tomorrow, but do you, or does anyone, happen to know why using the tong part isn't advised???

Brilliant video! Explained perfectly! Any cheaper alternative to ghd?

Use a diffuser.

One of the automatic curlers on a lowish heat setting

Google dressing gown cord or sock curls. Won't get any cheaper than that!

@Corkina the one I use is Babylis, v. similar to this www.lookfantastic.com/babyliss-volume-waves-tong/11553421.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&thg_ppc_campaign=71700000088329921&adtype=&product_id=11553421&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkaqwvJnF9gIVUOrtCh2SEABHEAQYBCABEgJwaPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

With each hair section I first use it as a straightener, with the ‘lever’ part trapping the hair against the barrel, then to make the wave I keep the lever open and just wrap hair around the barrel manually. Using the lever to trap the hair gives a harsh kink, and not the right effect, for me.

Give it a go.

Do not bother with Dyson airwrap. curls don't hold for most people. Straighteners or curling want are much cheaper and much more effective.

I think they’re both done with straighteners, just held differently.

Fashion is an absolute bitch! I have naturally wavy/curly hair but not the right kind.

To achieve the current wave trend, I'd have to straighten my hair then put the waves in half way down, leaving the requisite straight ends too.

My hairdresser can do it with a brush and a hairdryer but I've admitted defeat on ever getting anything like this look on my own.

@Corkina there is a tool that’ll do it, here www.lookfantastic.com/mermade-hair-pro-black-32mm-waver/13441624.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&thg_ppc_campaign=71700000088329927&adtype=&product_id=13441624&gclid=Cj0KCQjwz7uRBhDRARIsAFqjullZxy-PQXEJjXZOU63PR7dJuaeg4dJHA7gp0ph8f_MJhUIxSMrdP50aAqMsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds there are a few models – the wider the barrel the looser the curl

Straighteners.

Having said that a couple of weeks ago I put my hair in a French pleat all day and put Amani setting lotion in it. It went nicely wavy which surprised me - normally very curly but I let it “drop” when it came out of the pleat.
