Philosophy ‘big mouth’ Lip Plump

When I have a little bit of time to prep myself which is far in between these days, I usually turn to my trusted curling iron. Adding waves to my hair adds a little bit of styling in my long hair which I wear down most of the time.

To achieve this look, I actually shared the step by step process at Beauty Bento Box back in October of 2007. I’ll repost it here for reference :

1. Apply mousse while wet then blow dry
2. Hold the curling iron vertically, gather sections of hair in between the barrel of the iron. Hold for 20-30 seconds. Depends how curly you want it. Keep holding the iron in vertical position.
3. Repeat process. Don’t pick the curls until all sections are done.
4. Use your fingers to pick the curls.

An essential curling hair tip I have is to keep holding the curling iron in vertical position for this kind of waves. Horizontal position will achieve a different kind of waves on your hair.

I have choppy bangs right now but I still take out my curling iron once in a while to give my hair some waves when I have time. I don’t curl my bangs though, just the rest of my hair. It actually looks pretty if I say so myself. I have no pictures though  because I find myself always in a hurry afterwards. Just imagine the pictures above with bangs .
