Barely-There Waves

After a no-fuss style that is super easy yet still looks chic? Barely-there waves are for you! Read on for everything you need to know how to get the look.

BARELY-THERE WAVES

Barely-there waves are that perfectly undone, supermodel look. Think Gigi Hadid & Kendall Jenner. Also known as flat waves, they're super effortless and make the perfect everyday hairstyle. There's no doubting why we absolutely LOVE the barely-there waves at ZALA, so let's get into exactly how to get the look:

1. Starting with second or third-day hair, give your locks a quick brush through to ensure there are no knots and tangles. This style works best with a little extra grip! So if you've got freshly washed hair be sure to have some extra texturising products on hand. Dry shampoo is perfect for adding texture and hold prior to styling.
2. Next, apply hair extensions for a bit of added length and thickness. This can stop the look from appearing too messy by thickening up any wispy ends. For best results, we like to opt for a shorter, more everyday length such as our 16 or 20-inch sets at ZALA.
3. It's time to start curling! Taking a medium sized curling wand such as the ZALA Cosmo Wand 28mm barrel, take 1-inch sections and curl the middle of the hair only. The key to barely-there waves is to keep the root and the tip of the hair straight! This adds a subtle wave and creates a really textured, undone look.
4. Once all the hair has been styled, give it a quick comb through with your fingers to break up the waves slightly.
5. Finish with a light spritz of texturizing spray and you're done! You'll find this look will need little to no touching up throughout the day, as the more 'worn in' the better. Perfect for those lazy hair days.
