00:00Got my texture spray.
00:02That wasn't what's happened.
00:04Hey guys, it's me Anne, and this is Beauty in a Snap.
00:08My guess is that y'all have seen textured waves before.
00:12Everyone in Hollywood has been wearing them.
00:14Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Amy Schumer.
00:18The list is endless.
00:20But what you might not know is that textured waves are actually really easy to do by yourself.
00:26And in my opinion, a lot easier than traditional, like very curled defined rings.
00:32All you need is a heat protectant.
00:35Optional, but you don't want to fry your hair.
00:38A texture spray. This is for the end.
00:40And a flat iron. I like one inch flat irons.
00:45Optional as well. Duckville clips if you want to section off your hair.
00:48So the whole point of this look is to look very effortless.
00:51In fact, it can kind of look like you just rolled out of bed or you just came back from
00:56the beach.
00:56It's so much easier, in my opinion, than using a traditional curling iron and like wrapping your hair around it
01:02and doing every single section.
01:04As you will see, you can get away with mistakes when you do this method.
01:07So that's why I personally like it.
01:09Let's get started.
01:10First things first.
01:11Turn on your flat iron.
01:14Then douse your hair with some heat protectant.
01:20Step two. Start the curls.
01:22Take off a little section of your hair.
01:24I would do a couple inches at the most.
01:26Not too thick as well.
01:28Starting at the top of your head.
01:30Don't try to move your flat iron all the way to your scalp.
01:33You're going to burn yourself.
01:35And start by moving the flat iron in an outward motion like this.
01:41That's going to create a little bit of a crimp in your hair.
01:43And then you're going to want to go downward and back.
01:49Almost like in a zigzag.
01:51Then make sure to go down so that the ends of your hair are straight.
01:55That's what's going to make your hair look really natural when it's all done.
01:58So this is one curl.
02:00I like to brush it out.
02:01You can do, just like randomly do different pieces and it'll all kind of blend together.
02:06So I'm twisting, twisting.
02:09Holding the end of your hair like this will also make it easier to make those curls.
02:13Then if you have bangs like me, you can gather your bangs up.
02:17Give it a little twist out and they'll just fall nicely with the rest of your curls.
02:23If you want more curls or waves of definition, you can go back in and curl different sections of your
02:31hair.
02:31What's most important is that the ends of hair that are around your face are curled because that's what's going
02:38to be framing your face.
02:39So now I'm going to start attempting the back of my hair.
02:42If it makes it easier for you, you can use some clips to tuck away these edges so it makes
02:47it easier for you to access.
02:48What I usually do is just grab pieces of my hair, pull them forward so that I can see them,
02:55and use the same zigzag technique.
02:58The point of this look is more about texture than it is defined curls.
03:02So when you're doing the back of your head, it doesn't really matter which direction the curls are pointing.
03:07Because you just want a uniform look across your entire head.
03:09Any areas that you see that look really straight and you think need a little bit more movement, you can
03:16go and grab those.
03:17Give them a little curl as well.
03:20So I'm looking at my hair right now and I'm like happy with it.
03:23I think it looks textured.
03:24The best part of this look is that you can kind of get away with it being a little messy
03:28and a little bit like not completely curled in every section because the whole point is that it has movement.
03:34What I'm going to do is go in with some texture spray.
03:37This is just going to give my hair volume and grit.
03:41What I usually do is I'll pull my hair back like this in my roots just to give my hair
03:45some height.
03:46Then I'll go through.
03:47It also will give your hair some hold so it'll keep the style a little bit longer.
03:51And you don't even need a brush for this look because the whole point is that it looks messy and
03:57you may not or may have brushed your hair.
04:00These are my textured waves.
04:02If I want to do them fast, I can do them in five minutes or less.
04:06Isn't that crazy?
04:07I hope you guys love it too.
04:09Thanks for watching.
