Exaggerated Parts and Effortless Waves

Easy, breezy waves are always in – this season they are more effortless than ever. Try creating them with a deep waver or triple barrel iron for a more rippled wave effect and pair with a deep side part. Voila! The look of the summer has been served.

Step Two: Using a tail comb, create an exaggerated part in the desired area

Step Three: Using the Drybar Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron with the waver attachment, section hair into clean, 3-inch (7.5 cm) sections. Hold the tool horizontally, press to open the clamp and capture the top of the hair section between the barrels and clamp.
