Hair 411: Short waves with a twist

How-To: Style the front of the hair with a medium round brush and blow dryer. Wrap the hair around the brush as you would a hair roller and dry completely. Finish drying the rest of the hair on a soft setting to preserve natural body. Using a 1 1/2-inch curling iron, take 2-inch sections and spiral curl each section on the entire head. Tease the crown just a little for height. Create a loose French braid down the center back, letting the front fall out for a soft natural look. Take the end of the braid, tuck it under at the nape of the neck and secure with a bobby pin.

Product Picks: Finish with Suave Professionals Extra Hold Hair Spray.
