Step 1:
Cleanse hair with a product designed to address your hair's special texture needs. Depending on the texture (straight, naturally curly, wavy, kinky, etc.,) of your hair you may wish to either cleanse with a diluted shampoo formulation (1 part shampoo to 3 or 4 parts water) or wash with conditioner only (CO). Choose the best historical cleansing steps for your hair's natural texture. If you color, highlight or chemically treat your strands, select a shampoo that supports those treatments as well as your natural texture. Note: One to try - Ken Paves gentle moisturizing Healthy Hair Daily Shampoo .
Step 2:
Apply the appropriate rinse-out conditioners. (Avoid if hair is super thin, fine or tends to flatten easily). Rinse out or deep conditioners are excellent steps to take for strands which may be damaged. Note: One to try - Ken Paves Healthy Hair DailyConditioner. If you wish to amp up your hair color like Vanessa Anne's use 1-2 pumps of Ken Paves Boost Up color with your daily conditioning rinse. Select from a variety of colors depending on your current hair hue.
Step 3:
Finish with a cool/cold water rinse to close cuticles and encourage natural shine.
Step 4:
STowel blot and apply very light cocktail of desired leave-in detangler, conditioner or other styling products (firm holding mousse or gel). Ken Paves Boost Up color can also be added to your leave-in or other styling products for extra color oomp. If hair frizzes easily, apply a defrisant balm like Phytodefrisant or similar to damp strands to prevent frizz while still allowing barely-there waves to form.
Step 5:
For extra volume and control around the face, crown and sides, apply a firm holding hair cream or sculpting gel. Note: One to try: Ken Paves Healthy Hair Curl Balm. .
Step 6:
Separate hair into individual 2" sections. Working from side to side around the entire head blow dry hair with blow dryer with long finger diffuser. Avoid touching your strands with your fingers as you work to avoid frizz. When possible, use the slowest, coolest setting. Allow strands to rest in the base of the diffuser cup as you direct air flow through the strands.
Step 7:
Once each section of hair is 100% dry, clip or pin the section into a twisted ringlet pattern against your scalp and continue drying the next section.
Step 8:
When hair is completely dry and pinned against the scalp, spray entire the entire head with a firm holding spray like PhytoPro Strong Finishing Spray or Ken Paves Healthy Hair Shaping Finishing Spray. Allow spray to dry completely before removing pins or clips.
Step 9:
Right before leaving the house unpin all the hair sections and use fingers to tousle the newly formed barely-there waves. If desired, use a small or medium barrel curling iron to touch up any disconnected curl sections. Note: For more defined waves set hair in hot rollers or use a medium barrel curling iron and use fingers to deconstruct.
Step 10:
Finish with a swipe of Ken Paves Healthy Hair Shine Serum. Apply one drop of the Shine Serum to the palms of your hands, rub together and then lightly brush over the top of your gorgeous new soft waves.
