Creating Soft,
Romantic Curls the Easy Way
Soft, romantic curls continue to be one of the
best looks for both day and night. At work, soft curls lend a casual
sophistication to your look--much less severe without being fussy. At night,
curls lend a playful look that's not too "done." It's a hairstyle that's
breezy and beautiful, and works for all face shapes and women of all ages.
Beyond being incredibly versatile, soft curls are incredibly easy!
You could spend an hour putting your hair up in
rollers or trying to sleep in uncomfortable pin curls. Fortunately, you
can get the type of romantic waves that have been all over the fashion world
recently in less than five minutes. Best of all, the only tools you need are a
few bobby pins. The key to this no-muss, no-fuss style trick is to do it a
few hours ahead of time to let the curls set. If you want this look for
work or afternoon, do it the night before. If you want sexy waves for a
night out, do this first thing in the morning.
Five Easy Steps to Perfect Curls:
- Wash and dry hair. (Dry hair holds the
curl better.)
- Bring hair back into a ponytail near the
crown.
- Twist the ponytail tightly and wrap it into a
bun.
- Secure the bun with three to four bobby pins.
- Just before heading out, take your hair down,
shake it out, and you're ready to go!
If your hair doesn't hold a curl particularly
well, you might want to add a light touch of hair spray or holding gel. Beyond
that, there's nothing to creating soft, romantic curls. When you need a
look that's carefree and cute, this is it. Wavy curls always look classy and
effortless--because they are. No one has to know that it only took five minutes!
