How-To: Create Old Hollywood Waves

Awards season is officially over, and one of my favorite looks from the red carpet was glamorous, sideswept Old Hollywood waves (seen on Jessica Chastain, Reese Witherspoon, and lots of others).

Best part? They’re not nearly as difficult to create as they look. (I swear.)

Yesterday afternoon I shot a tutorial on this style (the finished product is above), and it took ten minutes, start-to-finish (minus blowdrying time)…and held up perfectly all the way through until bedtime.

What you’ll need:

- Mousse (I used Dove Style+Care Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse)

- Bobby pins

- A 1 1/2″ curling iron or wand

- Hairspray (I used Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Flexible Hold Hairspray)

- Hair clips

    Such a pretty look on you. I would wear it with a glittery barrette or wearing a Beret. I want to try that mousse.
