The trend in hairstyling is towards “natural-looking,soft waves“. To create this natural look, stylist Guido Palau used paper towels instead of curling irons. He separated the hair into 8 to 10 large sections, wrapped each strand around the paper and heated it with a flat iron. He then let the strands cool for 20 minutes and unwound them. At the end, the curls were gently brushed apart.

The waves in the hair lengths make the look even sweeter. Dry shampoo is used for extra volume at the roots. Then she creates a deep side parting and twists the bangs. Gradually, strands are added from below and screwed in. She does the same on the opposite side and connects the twisted strands with a knot on the side at ear level.
