How to Get Wavy Hair

Towel-dry freshly washed hair and apply a volumizing mousse. Comb through to make sure the mousse is evenly distributed. With your palms, gently push hair into waves, then clip waves into place. "This helps achieve a controlled wave with a finished, not frizzy, look," says Ted Giza, a stylist at the Avon Salon & Spa in New York City. Blow-dry with a diffuser attachment. When hair is dry, remove clips and separate waves with your fingers. Add extra gleam by smoothing two or three drops of shine serum over tresses. Do not brush hair after styling, or you'll wreck your waves.
