If I’m wearing my hair in soft waves, this is most likely how I style it! I like a traditional curling iron versus a wand because it gives me a bit more control over my sections!
I linked to the products and tools that I used or mentioned in the video below!

Products used or mentioned:
Aquage Uplifting Foam – all time favorite volumizer
Alterna Caviar Volume Spray – a great volumizing spray to provide lift throughout the hair, not just at the root.
Babyliss 1.25 inch curling iron – I’ve had this iron for years and love the soft curls it gives!
T3 Micro 1.25 inch curling iron – I love the versatility of this curling iron and find that my curls last a bit longer with it versus the Babyliss. Because of that, I typically reach for this option in the summertime! Cura blow dryer – A favorite blow dryer. It dries my hair so quickly and leaves it smooth and soft!
Duckbill Clips (or jaw clips for thick hair!) – If you don’t have clips to section your hair, you need them!
Amika Fluxus Touchable Hairspray – This is lightweight, flexible hairspray that is great to use while styling the hair.
Kenra Volume 25 hairspray – I’ve been using this hairspray for over 16 years! It’s a firm, long-lasting hold and keeps my hair looking styled all day long.
