Easy Wedding Hair Waves | Do Your Own Wedding Hair | Shonagh Scott

Hey guys today, i'm going to show you a diy version of my wedding hair. This is a really quick way to achieve almost like a hollywood wave, but i didn't want it to be too structured where all the curls face the same way. I know not. Everybody can afford to have their hair done professionally, so this is a quick way for you to achieve a really pretty curl. My twin sister actually did my hair. We went for quite a lot of volume and it's a lot easier for her to tackle the curls from where she's standing when you're doing it yourself. It'S a lot more difficult. This diy version really is something you can do in around 20 minutes, but there are a lot of products, but you need product if you want it to last, so i've blow-dried my hair with some mousse in it and a little bit of smoothing cream and because We are going to be using heat. We do want something that's going to protect the hair, so my preference at the moment is the ghd curly ever after none of these products have been sponsored. These are genuinely products that you need to use in order to protect your hair or just for the longevity of the curl. So before you curl each section make sure you go in with your curly ever after or your preferred choice of heat protectant, then i'm going in with the osis tame wild just to smooth out all the cuticles of the hair, and that way, once we curl it, It will give a smooth finish to the curl. Now you know if you've seen my previous hair tutorials, my preference is to always use the fabulous styler heat. This one is the 25 mil. I believe it is it's a slightly smaller one. I often reach for the 32 mil, but this one is great for the longevity of the curl. Now, as i said, there are a lot of products, but it is a necessity. This is the silhouette pump spray. This is going on before we curl the hair. It'S like a liquid hairspray. Now, obviously, i've tried this style without all the products just to try the hairstyle itself and the curls. Obviously they last okay, but they do not last as well as when you use all these products, and i was getting married in a lot of humidity. So for me the curls lasting was the most important element. So all these products enabled my hair to last all day for my hairstyle, we alternated every single curl i felt like it just gave more dimension to the style. It was really similar to a hollywood wave except the curls, all alternated in different directions. You can see here that i'm actually putting the curl on top of the hair, whereas when we did it with my sister, it was always underneath the hair, so you're consistently always lifting the root, and we also applied root dust and we back combed every section just To get more lift but again this is a diy, quick version of my hair, so i'm keeping the products in, but i'm not bothering with the backcomb. That is completely up to you. Once each section has been cooled, i'm going in with the redken wax blast. I love this. It'S so good. I spray it on the curl first, making sure that curl is completely cooled. Then you're going to comb the curl through, then i'm going to go in with a little bit of the luminous hairspray after i've separated the curl just to give it a little bit of width. Now this is the medium hold hairspray. On the day, i used a stronghold hairspray, but this is the basic basic version of what we were doing for my hair. As you can see, it really does give that curl a bit more of a beautiful wave, because we've used a small barrel and we've used that pump spray. The curl has a lot more structure, so it can take being combed and it doesn't completely brush out now. Obviously, when my sister did this part, she actually curled all of my hair first and then she pinned up all the curls and did them one by one, and she really took her time in separating the curls making sure that they looked super smooth and just really Took a time with it again, this is just a diy, quick version. I forgot to mention that the luminous hold hairspray is actually from moroccan oil. I really like this one. However, if you are getting married, where there is a lot of humidity, then you do want something: that's a lot stronger. So, as you can see, once you start to brush them out, you get a beautiful wave. The hardest part is the back. When you're doing it yourself, but you can just do as best as you can bringing it around to the front to separate the curls and then you can just use a mirror to tidy the back. So i'm taking down another section to work on i've gone in with my heat protectant. First then some of the smoothing cream, then the pump spray and then i'm curling and again making sure to curl each of these curls in opposite directions. The reason we are going to separate the curls and tidy them before we move on to the next section is because it's a lot harder when you're doing it yourself. When my sister did it, she could see each curl, it already been done and she could work her way through them. It'S a lot easier to miss a couple of these curls. If you do it all in one, go and then go in to start separating them, it would spoil the look if, at the back, you had a couple of ringlets that you hadn't taken the time to separate and sort of style and finish when you are doing This style, whether it's on yourself or you're, getting someone to replicate it on. You definitely cover your floor and also wear a towel, because my arm got really really sticky and when my sister and i were doing it - we put something on the floor because it gets really slippy. So you do need to be careful when you're, using this amount of products, also crack a window or the door, because it can get a little bit much um in terms of the smell of it. So i had the window open and when my sister and i did it at her house when we were practicing, we had the doors open and then on my wedding day we had the beautiful doors open, so it didn't get too few me. You can see here that, because i haven't put as much product in as when my sister and i did it - you get a few flyaways, so you can just run over it with your fingers to smooth everything and you get a beautiful wave. That'S a lot smoother! A little tip is once it's called, give the end a little tug and it almost breaks the shape of the curl a little bit, which makes it easier for you to comb through and also separate with your fingers. I'Ve also created this type of curl. For other occasions my friend got married recently and i was bridesmaid and i actually did the same type of curl as my wedding day, which is the same as this, but i took a bit more time with it. I wanted it to be almost a little bit more perfect, but again i didn't do all the backcombing for the volume. I just left it like this, which is my natural kind of thickness. I didn't bother to enhance it because i actually had to do my friends wedding makeup, so i was on a bit of a time limit. So again, i kind of wanted to do something that was quick and easy, but i knew that the curls would last all day for the curls at the front of the face. I always curl away again when cali done it for me, we still made sure that the barrel was going underneath the hair first, but the curl still went away from the face. If you have quite fine hair - and you need volume, make sure that before you curl each section, you apply some root dust back, comb it and then curl. It you'll see the root dust that i use in a moment, because i'm going to do that at the very front of my hair to give that lift to the fringe. When it comes to the crown of the head, it will be easier if you can pull the curls forward to work on them and then once you separate them, you can kind of just gently. Put them back in place, feel free to add some backcomb in here. I'M adding a little bit for some lift i've not applied any of the root dust and then again make sure that you are alternating the curls. On the wedding day. We actually worked in sections, so we had the crown as one section all of the back has one section, two sections on either side of the head above the ears and then also my fringe. That way, we could work out which way the curls were going to lay, and it was a little bit more structured. But again when you're doing it yourself. As you can see, it can be a little bit more fiddly, so to make a life a little bit easier for yourself. Just make sure that you put your fringe and other areas out of your way, while you're curling don't worry. If you've got a ton of fly-aways, you can just go over them and smooth them towards the end or before you move on to each section to tame flyaways, you can either use the wax blast or you can use a little bit of the osis tame wild. The tame world will give a bit more of a softer finish. The wax blast is obviously waxy, so it smooths those flyaways, but it also has a bit more of a hairspray finish, so it holds it in place if you've got fine. Hair you'll notice that this is a really great way to add volume, because alternating the curls and separating them means they sit on top of the one underneath it and they layer up and they just build volume in the hair. I know a lot of you do complain if there are a lot of products involved, but i do challenge you to try this hairstyle without the products and then again with products, and i promise you you'll notice, the difference, the volume and the hold and everything is Just so much more lackluster without the product, i'm not using it to sell you stuff, i'm using it because it genuinely works. So you can see for that back area, i'm bringing the curls round to the front separating them spraying them and then i'm placing them back again. It'S the only way i can kind of really tackle the curls when you're doing it yourself again. If you have fine hair or you want more volume like we did on the day, these ones that are coming from the very top of your hair, you should backcomb first add that root dust back home and then curl as you can see. They really do give that beautiful glossy finish to the top layer of your hair. Now i'm going to move on to my fringe. I do this in three triangular sections and i curl these backwards, but before i curl it, i add a little bit of the osis root dust. This is the soft dust this gets applied to the root first and then i back comb it in. It almost gives a bit of a grubby feel to the fringe, which i don't particularly like, but it is essential if you want volume, i do curl all three of these sections in the exact same direction and then i'm gon na brush them into one curl. If i tried to do it all as one i wouldn't get as much volume at the root, so it is important that you do them in individual sections, even if you are going to comb them into one. You can see that the root dust goes on white, but once you start back combing it in it completely disappears and, as i said before, don't worry if you get any flyaways because you can use the wax blast or a little bit of the tame wild to Tame those little flyaways remember that your fringe does not need as long on the curler, because it will take a lot quicker because the hair's a lot finer. So once it's cooled, i'm spraying it with the wax blast and i'm going to comb it all into one. Curl now the important part is not to brush out the back comb at the root. Instead, use your fingers to manipulate the hair on the side, while using your fingers, on the other hand, to lift the root at the same time, and then before you move on to tame that curl itself. Add a little bit of hairspray to the root then go in with your comb to brush away the flyaways, and then you can also use a hairpin to keep the root of your fringe up. While you do any last minute bits and then feel free to add another layer of hairspray now for this particular look, i combed the opposite side of my hair behind my ear and i've got a couple of small flyaways, which i then spray once i finished it With the wax blast just to tame them, so this is going right up towards the back of the ear and then to secure it in place. I'M using two bobby pins, i'm making sure that i'm not pinning the back of the hair. That'S coming from the crown, because we want that to overlap and kind of almost hide our bobby pins and then i'm going back in with a small amount of the wax spray just to tame down these little flyaways. Now, for my hair jewelry, i bought this off of amazon. I actually saw the brand on instagram and i realized that they sold on amazon, which came like the next day, so that was really good. I wanted something that was ivory but also had like a blush tone to it, and this was so pretty. So i pinned the larger section on one side down by my ear and then the trail inside up over as a bit of a headband, and then i secured it in place with five bobby pins and then using some more of the wax spray. I just went in and tamed the flyaways added a little bit more to my fringe made sure everything was secure and was sitting where i wanted it to and that's basically it you can go in with a wide tooth comb and give the curls a nice brush Through, if you want them to be a little bit smoother, but that is the basic basic version of my wedding hair and i hope you love it if you've got any questions or comments or anything leave them in the comment section below, i will listen link all The products in the description bar for you and i'll see you next week, bye guys
