The big issue for me, always, is how to adapt my hair!

We consulted expert stylist Mimi Lee, from LUX Salon in Atlanta and Mimi suggested the following trick for super-easy day-to-night styling.
1. Apply mousse or cream to damp hair. (She likes Sebastian Whipped Creme or Davines Universal Mattering Mousse)
2. Braid or French braid hair.

(TIP: Remember where you start the braid is where you will see wave, so you will want to start lower for less wave, or higher for more)
3. Let hair dry naturally and undo braid once completely dry.
4. Try pulling half back and twisting, and then secure with bobby pin. you can either have it meet in the back, or just pull back the two sides.
5. Leave the rest of hair, and break up the wave with your fingers.
(TIP: If you want even more volume in the waves, you can try back-combing with a comb or a brush)

* For short hair try twisting a small piece in the front following your hairline down to your ear and then secure with bobby pins. Cross the bobby pins to ensure the hold, or you can try parting your hair down the middle and twisting both sides.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes when you try these tricks at home!
