Hi, I'm Carmen, beauty stylist. Today, I'm going to share some tips on how to curl your wavy hair. For this demonstration, you'll need a wide tooth comb, some mousse and some large and smaller clips. The first thing I'm going to do, is section my hair at the bottom nape. You can clip it off with your larger clip, and take your wide tooth comb and comb through the lengths of the hair. Take a little bit of mousse into the palms of your hands. Spread it on the palms of your hands, and work it through the lengths of your wavy hair. Next, take that section in about three sections and just twirl your waves into curls. Three or four sections, I took about three sub-sections of my big section. And just twisted the hair into curls. And just let them loose and don't touch them. You can see how I have created curls. Take a second section into the hair and tuck the top away. Grab a little bit of mousse into the palms of your hair, and work it into those sections. Again, creating a twisting of the hair, towards the ends of the strands. You're going to, as you can see, I'm creating curls into my hair just by taking these strands of hair. And twist them with a little bit of mousse and letting them sit. You can see how I'm starting to create curls into my waves. So, just by forming a twist with your finger, section by section into the hair. Will create these beautiful curls in your wavy hair. I'm just making a little coil, a little bun and securing it with my little clip. So, these are some tips on curling your wavy hair, again, you'll need some mousse. And these are the tips I have for you for curling naturally wavy hair. Thanks, I'm Carmen.
