How To: Soft Wave

Try these quick steps to complete a glamorous up-do.  Here's how to complete the chic style:

1. Separate a 1inch strand of hair at either side.

2. Put the remaining hair back in a classic bun.

3. Using a 1inch curling wand, curl the 1inch strand of hair you left aside, holding for just 5 seconds. Gently unwrap the wave in a circular motion inch by inch.

4. All done! You have an ultra glamorous hairstyle in under 5 minutes.

It's that simple. Now go ahead and give it a whirl!

Embracing The Wave

Already being a huge fan of the curling iron, I've been really digging the retro wave lately. It's a great way to add variety from the modern curl. Here are a few styles for you to recreate your vintage hair style of choice.  I'm planning on trying ALL of these fab looks, eventually.  They're all so great it's hard to favor one.  

Glam the look up even more with costume vintage jewelry.
