What appliance do I need to get wavy hair?!

[Writergirl]

I have fine longish, straightish hair and would love to give it a bit of volume and sex factor with some waves but I don't quite know what appliance to buy!

Do I buy a brush that heats up and use on wet hair?

With 2 kids I don't have a lot of time, so do any work on dry hair?

Are there ceramics and wavers all in one - are they any good?

Dumb question maybe but I'm looking for the feelgood factor after recently having a baby!

bumping for you

You can do it with Ghds if you have them. They used to have a video tutorial on their website.

Just search YouTube there are still some vids on there. I think it takes a bit more practise than straightening but still pretty straightforward.

Heated rollers are fab.

You could twist your wet hair round and round in sections, then pin it up until it's dry ( ideally sleep in it).

Or, as SMiS says, use GHDs, which my hairdresser once demonstrated for me but I've never been arsed to actually do.

waves with ghds

Ghd curls

get some tongs

I think the key is a good product. I use Tresemme Curl Activator spray and it works really well- my hair won't stay curly without it, but with it lasts all day. It doesn't feel horrible like some stuff either. I use a curling tong to do mine, wiht big sections of hair, but I think heated rollers would probably work as well.

I have very fine and naturally straight hair. I can do a good job curling with the ghds but it takes about an hour to do, so with a small dd i dont bother anymore.
I have a hairdresser friend who taught me an amazing trick.
Get out the shower, blow dry your hair till its about 80percent dry. Get a load of little elastic hair ties and section your hair into about 5 or 6 sections. (more if you have the time) and curl the hair really tight around your finger so it sort of coils itself to your head. Then pop a bobble round the base of the coiled hair. Spray a little hair spray on it if you like, and repeat over the rest of your head. Takes 5-10 mins to do and the result (after being left in for about an hour or so) is natural waves. Like a quick version of rags.
I do it after my moring shower and leave in all morning (while i get on with house jobs, in the afternoon/evening i have lovely soft curls.
I used t use heated rollers in the days before ghds, they took ages, and were alot of faf. Did look good though. Curling tongs do the job too, but take the same amount of time as GHDs, and obviously hair gets damaged by all the heat.
Sorry to ramble.
