Hey girls, how's it going?
Today I am doing a tutorial all about
Blake Lively's
loose waves.
I just love them, I think she has such awesome hair, and a hunk of a husband.
Am I right??
And so, here is the step-by-step of how I got it.
Okay, so with wet hair the first thing you're gonna do is take a sea salt spray
like the DIY that we have
or, I'm gonna use Bumble and Bumble Sea Salt Spray. I love this, it's so good.
Basically, this is just to add sort of texture to your hair and it'll be really great. When
you're styling it, it'll give you kind of a wave.
Okay, so work that kind of through your hair to distribute the product a little bit.
And then you wanna take your blow dryer.
And now you're gonna blow dry your roots, focusing on lifting the hair shaft up to create
tons of volume like Blake's super awesome hair.
If you get lazy like I do sometimes then you can just kind of switch your hair over to
the side and start blow-drying it that way.
You really should lift it up from the roots and just blow dry it straight up
but I mean, it hurts your arms!
Now once you've had this crazy blown-out hair, like mine is here, you'll notice it has like
a lot of texture.
I'm not very good at blowdrying and it gets kind of crazy
so I'm going to brush mine out.
Now I'm gonna take this brush-
It looks like I've been electrocuted.
- and uh, I'm gonna make a part just sort of slightly off centre.
Okay once you've blow dried your hair and you kind of half your part where you want
it
we're going to take a clip or an elastic band and separate your hair into two parts
because now is the fun part. We're going to take a curling iron, and wrap our hair around
that to create those awesome, cool Blake Lively waves.
So take your curling iron and take a good about a one-inch section of your hair
and you're gonna wrap it around your curling iron.
So now half my head is done.
Don't run your hands through your hair at all. Right now we're just gonna let these
set and kind of cool down and we'll move on to the other half of our head.
So this is how it is right now, it looks kind of funny.
Um, but I'm still letting them kind of cool down, so I'm just gonna take my hair and put
it into
a bit of a loose bun, with a clip and not with an elastic just cuz an elastic will make
a dent
and we don't want that.
No way!
So now's a good time to do your makeup or whatever you want to do. Maybe make a little
treat, little snack for yourself.
And just wait, you know maybe like 10 minutes or so just to let your hair calm down.
Okay, so you've waited a little bit.
Now you can take your hair out of the bun
and you can run your fingers through. This is the best part.
And I'm gonna take this and just kind of tease my roots a little bit, just to give a lot
of volume like Blake has.
And now I'm kind of a sucker for like these weird parts, like, I don't really like them.
So I'll go over them with either a straightener or you can use your curling iron even, and
just kind of flatten them out a little bit.
But if you like the look, and you like those parts then just leave them!
And there you have it!
Kind of loose Blake Lively waves of kind of how she does her hair in Gossip Girl and just
in general cuz she's kind of a beach girl.
