Hope I helped ! :DHow to curl/ wave hair?
1. start with wet hair

2. apply a baseball-size or bigger amount of curl defining mousse to palm and scrunch throughout hair.

3. blow dry upside on high heat, low power, with a diffuser and scrunching until dry

4. from ear to ear, split hair across your head and put top section up in a clip to move it out of the way

5. using a curling iron, curl 1 to 2 inch sections of your hair at a time until finished with the bottom section

6. release 1 to 2 inch sections of the top part of your hair at a time, curling each one until finished with the top

7. spray hair with hairspray while hot

8. once cooled, separate curls with fingers and spray one last time to ensure hold

9. enjoy!
