Kim Kardashian's 'S-waves' Tutorial Will Change The Way You Wave Your Hair

Another week, another glam lesson from a Kardashian. This time it's Kim who's shared a tutorial on her website for getting the ultimate easy waves.

In Kimmy's "perfect blowout in a hurry" how-to with hairstylist Jen Atkin, they use the same nifty technique to get S-waves (or 'Scandi waves') demoed by hair expert Nicci Welsh in a YouTube video that went viral last week.

The secret they both have in common is creating waves with a flatiron – not a tong or wand – but Jen has another trick, too.

Duck-bill clips

To get "a nice, cool bend" in the hair Jen first rough-dries Kim's locks while duck-bill clips are applied roughly two inches apart throughout. She teases the hair between the hair clips to enhance the bend.

Diffuse with your hands

Jen then removes the clips and scrunches Kim's hair between her fingers, "so I'm almost using my hand as a diffuser," she explains. Next she cups large sections of her hair in her hands and blasts the dryer over each to help the waves set.

Finish with flatirons

After all this texturising prep, Jen then perfects Kim's fluid waves with a flatiron (the Kardashian Beauty 1" Ceramic Hairstyling Iron, obvs). Like Nicci in her video, Jen takes a section of hair and pushes it into an S shape and taps her flat iron over the shape to set it. She then alternates the S shape all the way down, creating the S wave.

Et voila! You get the perfect bend in your hair a la Kimmy at the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund show. Who needs a Glam Squad, eh?
