Follow these steps to create a natural wave in your hair:
1. Start with clean, damp hair.
Wash your hair and towel dry it until it’s damp. You can also use a spray bottle to dampen your hair if you don’t want to wash it.
2. Apply a styling product.
Apply a styling product to your hair to help hold the wave in place. We recommend using a sea salt spray or a curl defining cream.
3. Create twists in your hair.
Take a small section of hair and twist it around your finger. Continue twisting until you reach the ends of your hair. Repeat this process all over your head.

You can either let your hair air dry or use a diffuser to dry your hair. A diffuser will help enhance the natural wave in your hair.

Once your hair is dry, use your hands to scrunch your hair. This will help enhance the natural wave in your hair.
6. Finish with hairspray.
Finish your hairstyle with a light hold hairspray to help hold the wave in place.
