How To Get Slightly Wavy Hair
So you want hair that's just wavy at the ends? Not super wavy? Then you've come to the right, uh, post. Here's an easy way to get slightly wavy hair.
What you need:
Damp hair (How damp? After taking a shower--depending on how fast your air drys--wait about 10-15 min.)
Leave-in conditioner
Styling spray or gel (opt.; only needed if hair is hard to style)
hair ties (ones w/o a metal piece holding it together)
Comb
Bobby pins or a hairband (opt.; only if you have bangs)
Hairspray (opt.)
How to:
Start by combing through damp hair, detangling it. Then, I highly suggest putting some leave-in conditioner (a pea-size to dime size depending on how thick and oily your hair is).
The leave-in conditioner will help after you take you hair out of the braid.
If your hair is hard to style (pinstraight), then add a little bit of styling spray or gel
Divide your hair into 3 equal parts and then braid (Don't know how to braid?

Tie end of braid with a hair tie.
Do not use a hair tie with a metal clamp. If you've used them before you would know that when you pull the hair tie out, the clamp can pull hair out with it.
If you have bangs, strategically clip them back with so that when they dry it's have a little "curve" to it to make your look more sophisticated. ;)
Where a headband if you want more hold or use the head band to hold your bangs back if you don't have any bobby pins
You can wear this look during the day or sleep on it. Then when you think it's dry, take it out. Give it a little shake. If you want hairspray it and give it a couple of scrunches. Annd done.
If your hair is like mine, it's damp when you pull it out of the braid so here's what you do: take out after a a couple of hours or after you've slept. Then see if it's still damp. If it is, put some more styling spray in and rebraid. Let it sit for a couple more hours.
Want More of a Wavy Look?
Instead of one braid, do two. It'll probably look like Ashley Simpson's hair (left).
Still want more waves? Split hair in half and
french braid (start by parting the hair from where the placement of your eyebrows are and work your way down from there). See my drawn diagram:
You can french braid loosely or tightly (I prefer loose; just sayin'). The end product should look something like Lindsay Shaw's hair (right) in Ten things (only if you tightly french braided your hair). Experiment! See what suits you best! Have fun with it!
Good luck everyone! Happy braiding.
