Hi, my beautiful friends: how are you doing it's me me here today and today I'm going to show you how to do these beautiful soft small waves. These used to be my favourite waves when I was a small girl when I was about eight to ten or twelve. I would always always do this on my hair. I'D asked my mom to do these small braids on my hair, so I would get really nice small waves. Now I found a much easier way to do the same waves that doesn't take as much time and doesn't require your mom to do your hair. So I'm going to show you how to do it. It'S super quick, super simple, but gives you really beautiful ways that I think are perfect to wear, especially in the summer. So, let's begin I'm going to quickly walk you through what we're going to need for this hairstyle and number one we're going to need just the sectioning brush or comb, as you may call it we're going to need a regular brush to brush the hair. Some hairspray we're gon na need some h2o, so just the bottle that can spray and just fill it up with regular water. One more thing we're gon na need little here. Elastics. The first step is completely optional. I prefer to wear my hair in the middle when I have these waves because I think it just looks prettier. It just gives it a different effect, but it's completely optional. What I'm gon na do first, is I'm gon na go in with my sectioning comb. Just going to go right in the middle of my head draw a straight line: that's how usually I do it or I usually also go with my fingers and just do it more roughly so just section it until you're. Happy now that I split my hair in the middle, I'm gon na quickly brush my hair just to make sure there are no tangles. Don'T worry my lucky hair extensions today, just because when I have my extensions and I do these waves, it's just a completely different effect, that's more like a mermaid hair. Also, if you wear hair extensions like myself, you don't need to break your extensions separately. You can just clip them in and then do the braids. That'S what I'm going to show you today or if you don't wear extensions, you can just do this on the hair. It'S exactly the same process, whether you wear extensions or not. Now that I brushed my hair, I've split the hair in two equal sections, the left and right, I'm gon na do two braids before I start braiding, I'm gon na take my water and I'm gon na dampen the hair there's other ways. You can do this. If you came out of the shower - and you here is sort of more on the dry side, you don't want it to be damp. That'S not gon na work either. You don't want it to be too dry. So it's kind of like more on the dry side, but still a bit them. My hair is already dry cuz. I washed it hours ago, so I'm just gon na go back with my water spray and just spray it all over and I'm not gon na spray. The top of my hair, because that would create frizz, so I'm gon na start spraying the water, exactly where I will be braiding it, I'm just gon na spray. It all the way to the bottom, making sure that the hair is them, but not too wet, and then I'm also gon na go in with my hair spray. This is very important step because the hairspray will make sure the braids actually hold, and it's gon na. Also add the shine once we take the braids out, I'm gon na go in to my hair and also from top to the bottom spray, my hair with a hair spray. I'M sure you can see in the camera right now how my hair has a bit of dampness to it, but it's not soaking wet either. So I think at this point I'm pretty happy, maybe I'll add just a little bit more on the ends of my hair. Again, you just kind of have to feel it with your hands. It still has to have quite a bit of dampness to it, otherwise the braids won't fixate properly. I think now, I'm pretty happy so I'm just gon na go in here split the hair in three sections and I'm gon na start braiding and I'm gon na be braiding, really really tight and I'll. Show you exactly what I mean by that after each section. So I've graded this first section, I'm gon na push it like you see what I just did I'd push it up and then I braid again and I push it up and I braid again and I push it out. This really creates a really tight braid. When I'm going to take out the braid, it's actually fixates every single section of the braid making the crimp of the wave, much more defined so make sure that when you're braiding after every section, you push it up. Just like that, so it's a really really tight braid and we're going to braid this all the way to the bottom. So after each section I'm pushing the braid up and then, when I get to the bottom, I'm just going to secure the ends with a hair. Elastic and the first braid is done sometimes I'll, go back in the braid and I'll just add a bit of more moisture, just spray it with water a little more and then I'm going to go in with my hairspray and just add a bit more hairspray as Well, now, onto my right side, same thing quickly going to give it a brush and then I'm gon na start with the water first spray it all over top to the bottom, make sure to get the insides of the hair as well. Lift the hair and evenly spray it with water and then hairspray, and now I'm going to start braiding on my right side. So again, I'm going to split the hair in three equal sections. I'M going to do a really really really tight, braid make sure. After each section to push the hair up so braid and push - and I'm just gon na secure the ends now and then spray it the braid again with the water just to make sure I got it everywhere. This will really help the braid stay in place and form the waves and then hairspray as well. Now, once you've done the braid, you have three options: option number one is: if you do this at night, you can go to sleep and in the morning when you wake up and you open the braids you're gon na have beautiful waves option. Number two is if you're at home and you don't have to go somewhere with them, the next half an hour to an hour. You can just you know, read a book. Do some work to some emails. I don't know, hang out on Facebook or Instagram or maybe clean the house, and then, while you do, that your hair, it's gon na dry, that's usually what I do. I personally don't like to sleep with my hair in braids. I just don't feel comfortable and option number three. What I'm gon na do today, cuz, I'm quite short on time and have to be in the office in 30 minutes. I'M gon na use a blow dryer to quickly dry. These you know, I'm just gon na use a cold setting or just maybe a bit warm setting. It'S gon na take five to ten minutes. It'S almost like when you go to a hairstylist and they make you sit under those things. I forget what they're cold like a hitting flam thingy. I think you know what I mean so it's kind of creating the same effect at home, so it's just using the blow dryer on a low setting and quickly drying these until you make sure they're dry. That'S really that's gon na take like ten minutes as opposed to waiting an hour for it to completely dry, so I'm just gon na quickly dry it and then show you the results. It'S been five to ten minutes, and now I feel the braids are dry. How do you know if the braids are dry, you'll have to just squeeze them with your hands and see if any moisture comes out at this point, they feel pretty dry to me, what I'm gon na do now is just go to the braids release the elastics. Slowly, unravel the braids and start untying the braid, as you will see at this point, the hair is already nicely crimped, it's nice and soft and effortless. Now the trick here is not to brush the hair. You just want to slowly go in with your hands and just open them up, but you do not want to brush them up so this way it looks very effortless, very natural. All with it is just one braid. When I was small, my mom used to do braids all over the head would do maybe 20-30 braids. It would take hours well, maybe not hours, but it will take at least an hour. But this way we just need one nice braid. Just to get this nice results now, I'm gon na do the same thing on my left side, beautiful so fast, so easy, so effortless and no mom required. That'S all for today's hair tutorial make sure to recreate it and post it on your Instagram of a life. A hair hashtag, I would love to see your recreations of these beautiful soft waves.

Comments
Rose Kimberly: OMG Literally! YOUR Hair IS GAWGEOUS! LOL we just love it!
Lenalight: My hair always looks like this, but curlier. This gave me confidence that I can wear it down. Thank you, Mimi. You're a doll.
xEverlore: I used to do this type of hairstyle all the time except I would braid my hair after towel drying it for about an hour and then sleep in them. I find that using the smallest dab of hair wax and scrunching the waves is a great way to define them, help them last all day, and give them texture as well!
Nisha Shahid: I totally love how this looks, on your hair, Mimi! So cute and effortless! <3
Jessica Solis: I love it!!! I am definitely going to try this look. I have really long hair so I'm sure it will look fabulous. Your hair looks gorgeous!
Green Witch07: Wow Mimi! I really like this tutorial. I had my hair curled last month in a beachy/boho look but I have no time in styling them most days. I'm definitely gonna try this look. Thank you for sharing :)
Avery Kinggg: Thank you so much, Mimi!! This worked so well for me and I have the thickest hair in the world!!!
Cindy: Love this : ) I do this to my hair almost every day bc it's waaay easier than curling !
Aisha Ali: I love the look! Totally great for the summer :)
Maria Pecora: These are so pretty! Will definitely try this! Thanks Mimi :)
SecretsPrisoner: Omg thank you so much! This is exactly what I've been looking for! Some mornings I don't have time to curl my hair or braid it the night before. I found that the little braids all over my head made it poofy and 2 normal braids didn't give it enough wave. So THANK YOU for this and I love it. 5 stars and a thumbs up!
jade bush: It looks so pretty, love the tip on pulling the hair tight, I tried it and worked really well XOXO
TaeTaeBelle: It looks amazing Mimi! So fast and perfect! :)
Elke Amber: Looks so good! I love it, tried it, and it works really cute! ♥
nickj4ever16: Great tutorial! I've been doing this for years, but I usually sleep with the braids. I love luxy hair, I have three sets.
Leslie Cuna: I've been doing something similar to this for years, since my hair is naturally curly/wavy I feel like this method helps tame my hair instead of it being all crazy! it's just a nice way to get soft curls :-)
Sharon: I've always done this before I even watched this tutorial!! Except I don't use hairspray, and instead of water I use a little concoction I made of 1tbsp conditioner, oil (tiniest drop), 1tsp hair gel and 3/4 of water. Then when I wake up and take out the braid I will put serum to increase shine and get rid of fizz and sea salt spray in my hair, to create more body and texture as well as maintaining the curl.
Charly Paige: Wow, so pretty, got to try this out, perfect summer look♡
Laura Emilie Hollænder: This looks incredibly stunning!
Sanua: I love these waives!! I do this almost every day :)
57smiley2: I LOVE THIS AND ITS SO EASY!! Thanks so much for this video!!
Erika: I also do the same thing when I was young. I would ask my mom to braid my hair at night so when I wake up the next morning, my hair will be wavy. :)
Sofi Studio: I love this hairstyle! I used to do something similar… But instead of doing two tight three-strand braids, I do one big tight fishtail braid! I love your channel! You are so creative! LOVE YOU! <3
Nicole Maldonado: I love how it ended up & i loved it i came straight to your channel & tryed this i'm actually waiting for the braids to dry right now hopefully they turn out as great as yours! I love your videos!
Autumn Carney: OMG!!!! I love this hairstyle. It is so cute. I will definetly try it out sometime. :D
itsAnnaVictoria: Amazing technique I use it almost every day !
Adele: If your hair is shorter you can do two French braids instead so the waves start higher and you get a beachy effect. :)
JC💜: OMG i loved this video and it was really helpful! Im gonna do it everyday
Garland Girl 21: This is one of my favorite hairstyles my mother and grandmother were always braiding my hair when I was a kid I had similar waves to this growing up
L E I L A: Love this tutorial. I'll probably recreate this
Laura: You're better off to sleep on them or just leave them for a couple hours. The blow dryer makes you think they're dry from the outside, but there's still moisture on the inside, which creates frizz. If you leave them on over night your waves will be a bit more strong, smooth, and last longer. (:
iJumpy Vids: Hi Luxy Hair, just wanted to say that I tried these waves in my hair last week and they turned out perfect! Thank you for showing me such an easy hairstyle.
Zaida H: This is soo pretty thank you for always having great ideas and stay beautiful

Hannah Heil: I love the way you waved your hair, its much more easier than the way i do mine! I do to a braid on the left side, the right, and the back of my hair so i have 3 big tight braids.. i think im going to try yours this time! Thank you Mimi!
PinkPearl: I sleep with my braids in, and in the morning if I brush my hair after taking the braids out, it makes my hair SUPER poofy! Haha, don't brush your hair after you've braided it guys.
