New Faux Natural Waves Hair Tutorial - Kayley Melissa

Everyone Kayleigh your friendly neighborhood hairstylist here and today I'm gon na teach you guys how to get some faux natural-looking waves. So not too long ago I was playing around with my curling iron. I found a new way to use it. I posted a picture on Instagram and asked you guys if you wanted a tutorial, and you said yes like a lot, and I really liked this method, not just because it gives people with mostly straight hair, like me, a chance to play a little bit. But, as one of you guys pointed out in the Instagram comments, it's a nice way to touch up your natural wave, so I'm gon na talk a little bit about that as well. Just because you know some days, yeah air dry, you do everything right! You follow all the steps and then there's just that one piece that one rebel piece and I like this method because it can fix it and then the whole thing is much better. So that being said, let's jump into it now, if we're talking about faking a natural wave when I'm specifically talking about, is like A to C wave know if that's completely new verbage to you, but one of the ways that we categorize hair is through types and It split up into four numbers and then there's letters within each one. It goes from the straightest of straight to the coy list of curls and that just helps you kind of picture. What kind of curl we're talking about. So if you have anything that is close to that kind of hair, naturally this is gon na really help for, like touching it up, fixing those little pieces. If your hair is any tighter than that, there's a couple little things that we can do and I'm gon na talk a little bit more about that as we go through, because I want you to be able to have the option to use this technique on your Hair as well, if you want to touch up those one or two pieces, like I mentioned, we can do with this method, but for everybody, we're gon na start with some heat protectant I've got that bumble and bumble glow life. You guys know. I love this project. It'S just so good its heat protecting its bond building. It smells like honey. I don't know what else you need if your hair is like one, a like the straightest of the straightest of the street. Another thing you could do is add in a product withhold like mousse, while your hair is still wet or using a heat protectant that has hold because your hair it likes to stay bone straight. It doesn't like to curl, and so you have to give it as much liquid help as possible, and by that I mean use products that have hold. If you have curl your hair and you're going for a little bit more of a stretched out, look than you normally have I'm going to put some links down below to waist, to stretch out your curls to keep them from being as bingi and ringlets E, and A little bit more wavy now we love a ringlet curl, it's beautiful! It'S gorgeous! You do not have to stretch that out. This is just if you're feeling it that day, if that's the vibe for the day I'll put some links down in the description box. So you can check that out. You could go ahead and do that before we get started alright. So all that said, I think it's actually finally time to get into the method you guys are so patient with me. I love y'all thanks for sticking through we're gon na. Do it now: okay, Kristin S, one-inch curling iron. Surprise, surprise. Also, while we're talking about all the different hair types, I am bringing my sister on after I show you guys how to do this, so you can see it on long hair too. Don'T you worry all righty so today, I'm gon na be using a one-inch Kristin s, curling iron. We know that I love this, but you can use a different sized curling iron for different results. I will picture those a little later, basically you're gon na start by sectioning your hair, as we always do so. We'Re gon na leave the bottom half down clip off the top and then, if you've seen my Instagram curls video you're gon na have a head start here. So what you're gon na do is you're gon na clip the hair into the curling iron and you're gon na wrap it up then you're going to duck the iron so that the tip of the iron is pointing at your face. You just duck it under that hair strand. That way, you undo the curl, but it's still clamped into the curling iron. Then this is where it differs from what I've done before you don't slide it out anymore. You don't change it at all. You wrap it right back up and then after you've, let it sit for a second or two you duck and you wrap again and the more times you conduct the curling iron and then wrap it. The tighter the wave is gon na be and the more little blooms you're gon na have so. This first example that I did is kind of like the medium amount you get this nice like deep kind of wave going on this. One is what you've seen in my Instagram videos before it's a lot more of like a barely there Bend and this one I got as many twists as I could in my hair, and you see that it looks like a lot more tight natural wave. I don't have very long hair right here. The longer your hair is the more room you have to play, but put it in your wrap it up. You duck underneath pull it back up, right, wrap it again and as the hair is drop, there's gon na be this little twist right here and that's one of those that helps with that wavy. You look, you duct, wrap it back up, and now you have two twists that are on the curling iron haha, and now you duck. Maybe it's about time to slide. Cuz you're running out of hair wrap it back up. This is the example of like the most, and this is going to give you a really tight, tight wave and then again you just want to slide down. You can see right there that is tight and twisted I'm gon na. Let that cool. Before I run my fingers through it, I just want it to set and then, as I said, if you were going for a more minimal look, you would just wrap the hair at less times so I've gone around once I'm gon na duck bring it through. I'M going around twice and I just slid the iron a little bit down my hair duck and go through third time and last time over the ends. So you can see this section is very, very like natural way of looking. This is a little bit more than I would normally do unless you were matching your own hair texture, but you can see you have that really really natural looking wave or is this one? The waves are just a little bit deeper and more defined. So it's a little bit more laced, looking a little bit more styled. Looking if you're new to this, I always recommend starting with a cold curling iron and just practicing a couple times, then you can turn it on. I'M gon na go ahead and finish out this section and then I'll drop the next down and we'll do some more tips and tricks all righty next section. So the reason that this creates a more natural looking wave is that it's stretching out the area between the bends of the curl whenever you curl the hair up the diagonal between the curls. So if this is ringlets one - and this is ringlets - two are pretty close together, it's how you get that kind of Boing. You look going on when you stretch it more, but you still have that bend and you stretch it more and stretch it more. It turns more into a wave, so essentially, what we're doing is we're putting in more bends and then stretching out the coyly parts in between to create the way.if. Now the other cool thing is that the size of the vent is determined by the size of your iron. So if you want a more loose Bend and the wave, then you can go with a larger iron. If you want a tighter Bend, you can go with a smaller iron, and that is particularly great because those of you guys who have naturally more curly hair, are gon na. Have those smaller bends in your hair. Naturally, so if you want to match it, all you have to do is go with the smaller curling iron than what I'm using today. One of the biggest keys with this method is that you're not continuing to pull on the hair. As you go, my Instagram waves, video that I keep referencing, was all about really using that tension to keep the hair a little bit more straight, a little bit more, barely bent we're not trying to do that this time. That'S why I'm also leaving it in these little twisted ringlets to cool that way. We have a firmer set also if you'll notice, I'm alternating in the directions of my curls again, to give it a more natural kind of beachy. Look if you want it to have that kind of really bohemian almost like three barrel waver look, then you could do them all in the same direction and they will come out like very like oceany, which could be really cool too, but I've primarily been using this. For that kind of, like oh yeah, my hair, just dry like this after the ocean look cuz. I certainly just wish that hey I could get to an ocean and be that my hair would dry like that after I went in it. Oh, my gosh look at it so pretty so this is definitely pretty defined right here. I think with my next section. I'M gon na go a little tighter to make it a little bit more natural-looking and all that. But oh it's so pretty. Let'S keep going and I feel, like I've, been talking a mile a minute and I might have actually gotten through all my tips already. Oh, I mean we still have to talk about what products you put on at the end of this, but you know what I think, I'm just gon na. Let you guys we'll send us some music and watch me keep curling my hair see. These are a lot more natural-looking and it can be nice to mix in like these more natural pieces, with these more placed ones or just go all in one direction, but there you go. You can see what I'm talking about now. I think what I'm gon na do, for my finish style is that I want like a flip like a little hair flip moment and like not a crazy, precise part. What I'm gon na do to make that happen is I'm gon na actually part my hair on the opposite side, to what I normally do and then once it's all curled, I'm gon na flip it back. The only thing that I have to adjust with that plan is that I need to curl everything toward my face. Cuz then, when I flip it over, it will be going away from my face. Don'T question the physics your mind will break just know. That'S what you have to do so it might feel like you're doing a lot of sections, but I feel like I can go through these actually a little bit faster than I normally do, and it's less heat on each piece of my hair. I'M noticing there's also that alright, I'm not gon na break them up, but I'm gon na go ahead and kind of get my part over okay, let those cool these are cooled, though, so, let's just see how they look. Ah right it looks like a natural wave, and so if I had a day where I managed to get my hair, mostly wavy and I just wanted to touch up a little bit, I could do this if I tried some kind of heatless hair hack and it Almost worked, but not quite I could do this, I mean I love it. I think it's so cute, so you can either do this by combing. Your fingers through, like I have for the other sections or you can shake it out on me. It looks pretty similar either way, but if your hair likes to frizz out a little bit more, sometimes shaking it actually helps to break it up, rather than breaking through a giving your hair a chance to go just and then if there are any little pieces that Are kind of joined together and you don't want it, you can just pull it apart with your fingers. Now I love the texture and lift. I have right now - and I know that my hair is gon na - get tired of being lifted and just started to throughout the day, so I'm gon na add some products to shows it up now. Normally I would use my Christina's dry working textures play. I have misplaced it, as I do with everything in life that I love, so I think of a dry texture spray, which is very, very similar just a little bit more expensive and a little I mean I Oh, with the smell of it. Ah, yes, honey. So if you have fine flat hair or like we were talking about that one, a super straight hair, texturizing spray is gon na, be your friend at odds, hold and texture which we need. Now, if you want a little bit more peace eNOS, if you can find it the igk down and out dirty spray, so good for that, I think maybe just continuing yet cuz they're not selling it on like the big websites anymore, but you can still find it. So if you can find it, I'm gon na give this BB sumo liquid, wax plush finishing spray to do a PC lived in texture. Let'S hope it works, because I really like how my hair looks test it back here. Little scratchy scratch yeah, you can see. This is a lot more defined and PC than up here. I'M gon na put on my hands and scrunch it just to get less of it on my hair, because my hair is fine, so it doesn't take a lot of product to do a lot. If you're doing this on curls, I would just recommend whatever really helps your hair to hold and not for us throughout the day, I'm gon na assume that would be kind of a lightweight moisturizing or sealing product, maybe a gel that you can scrunch in or maybe Like a lightweight hairspray, if that tends to work on your hair tight, but that is how I'm finishing up today. I am super loving. It is this how I like to do it on my short hair, because you don't have as much hair to work with. So you really got to get the waves in quickly, so there are lots of little waves close to each other. So that's the short hair. No, I think it's time for some long hair, oh and a lil Rob hi guys if you missed the last video she's a little bit more brunette hair blonde, oh yeah brown and blonde together wronged. I'Ve never heard that before you haven't no. I live in the hair world. I was thinking for your hair. It would be fun to have you experiment with a little bit of a like a wider wave so that the ridges aren't so close together. Let'S do it cuz. My hair is all kinds of huge today I have that, like post hair, color thirsty volume, which textures too it's like constantly drinking up everything, I give it well in that effort. Here'S some okay! Some of that. I love to do that all righty then. So you already saw what I've been doing: yeah on camera and in life. Yes and life I've been seeing all right, I'm gon na jump off camera, I'm gon na. Let you give it a try and then I'll jump back in with any feedback. Okay sounds good cool that way, you don't have me standing here like and you're, not slighting, we're rapping. That looks good all right. I think we can gently gently loosen this, so you can see what it looks like all right. Yes, so this is okay! Well, if you wanted it to be a little tiny bit more to find, you could do like literally one less okay, but I like it, okay, that'll, look so cool the long hair you do have to have a bit more of a slide than I saw in There yeah cuz for me like a half inch slide is enough for you. I think a one inch slide works yeah. The difference between that and like the Instagram curls is that we were sliding like three ish inches right, so we both have long hair. Then whoa whoa whoa. Well, we forgot how we were doing stuff nice, nice, clothes, yeah yeah. I don't like you being that close to the iron, that's liable. When you do slide, you want it to be closer to an inch than a couple inches all right. Well, it looks like you've got it, I'm just gon na. Let you finish out this section and we'll convene sounds good. All right great! It'S great to see you! I think you could probably do a little bit less. Actually, Oh English! This piece right here needs. I redo well, I just finished those yeah that was my. That was my life again. This looks good okay. What do you think yeah? I really like it? Okay, it's definitely different totally new and different love. It now on stating alternating gross all right home stretch. So now is when you take small, it's like not the time to get lazy. I'M talking to myself. Alright last piece: we go alrighty, I'm so excited to rake the Reuben. This is cool. Can I do it? Can I do it? Can I do it? This is such a beachy vibe. It'S like a weird straight piece in the middle. So another thing that you did. I don't know if you knew that you were doing it. You didn't go as close into the route as I did, and so that gives it a more relaxed and then wavy there, which I like a lot for the long hair. I just wanted to call that out in case people wanted to play with that information. I always like, if you're looking at the hair - and it just looks a little off like find the piece that looks off to you and pull it out and see. If that's just the only thing, that's bothering you, it often is usually it's gon na go ahead and run through it, because I did it a little tighter, oh yeah, yeah yeah. Oh, I love that yeah. Look at me. Look at me! Oh yeah! Absolutely! I know right people in the comments are gon na, be like that's all. My hair looks like when I just sleep on it and I'm like you're like congratulations. Do you have to brag? Alright, I like that a lot. Oh, you know. Okay, you can go ahead and write great through now. I know you get a lot of joy, but also, if you're looking at your natural ways and there's like one prayer, that's a little bit more straight. You can do what I'm doing right here and just putting the one part on the curling iron. I love it all right, so I'm feeling like you need, I wouldn't add more fluff to your hair, necessarily, I think, maybe a little bit of a spray wax. For definition, okay, I think that might work. Okay, I'm gon na test. What the spray I actually put it on my hands first and then on my hair, and it worked so well for my hair texture, but your individual hairs are thicker and she has more hair than I do. Oh, oh, that smells good. I don't like a little bit of shine. Okay, this is a lot like the down-and-out dirty spray. I, like that ooh yeah, see okay, compare the sides like it's not huge, but it's definitely like it took down some of the fluff added some dimension added, a skosh of shine mm-hmm. That'S what I wanted and it was especially good on her front pieces cuz. They were a little bit a little bit a lot and you can also scrunch it too. If you want I'm finding more areas, the pro tip, long, hair girls, don't spray this on your underneath long layer, mmm, that's asking for a matte in the back. Like all the top pieces, you it's but wax yeah, it will literally start tying knots in your hair. Did you a little hairspray? You can do this with like a larger. I already get it looser. You could do less ways and have more barely there, but that's like a really natural. I just walked out of the water and let my hair dry - and it looks like this I'm from what's the show that I didn't make it all the way through Outer Banks. So that's how you can get some natural looking waves and or touch up your own. We'Re gon na insert some little pictures footage of this with different curling iron sizes. Just so you can get an idea, but in general that's the method and I love it. I'M obsessed, I do not think I was gon na like it so much on long hair, but I'm seriously not with it yeah. It looks just the right amount of undone. It'S like modern, Serena van der Woodsen or something Serena vans. Are it Wow, Serena van der Woodsen, circa, 2020, so yeah?
