1. The Effortless Glam Wave
This is my absolute favorite! It’s the perfect blend of glamour and ease. These waves are universally flattering. They work for any outfit. I remember helping my cousin Sarah for her junior prom. She was so nervous. We did these glam waves. Her face lit up when she saw herself. She felt so confident all night. To get these waves, use a large barrel curling iron. Curl sections away from your face. Brush them out gently. Use a flexible hold hairspray. It keeps the movement.
