Ribbon Waves: The Easiest New Curl Trend

Getting the perfect (non-poodle resembling) wave in your hair is harder than it seems, but get it right and it's THE go-to 'do for easy glamour – whatever the occasion. With so many options for twirling and curling your hair now, the choice can be overwhelming but we just found a newbie that does the hard work so we don't have to. The Remington Curl Revolution automatically draws your hair through its heated barrel and auto-rotates relieving the need to twist your wrists. Hurrah!

Here's how to style sexy ribbon waves using the styler, with the option to sass things up for evening in simple steps.

Easy ribbon waves:

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3…(4)

Step 1

Apply some heat protection and beginning at the front next to your face, take slim but long sections of hair. Begin styling (away from your face) by slotting your hair in the middle of the barrel and press the button to draw your hair in for a few seconds.

Step 2​

Work around the head in two layers, the top and bottom half of the head. You can be free and loose with your sectioning as this is a relaxed look.

Step 3

Blend the curls together by teasing them through gently with your fingers.

Step 4

Set with some product like the Kerastase VIP Volume In Powder Spray, which is a buildable texturising spray that will add to the tousled effect.

The finished look

Sleek ribbon waves:

If you want added glamour for night, try a dual textured look with your waves,  leaving the ends wavy and slicking down the roots –

Step 1

Comb through some gloss spray applied to the roots to create a smooth, shiny finish, leaving the curls through the lengths and ends

Step 2

Pull back the front two sections of your hair and pin behind the ears using hairgrips

Step 3

Use your fingers to pull some loose hair forward from the back and conceal the grips
