You can try scrunching it.

1. Shampoo and condition your hair. When finishing, do your last rinse with cold water.

2. Squeeze the excess water out. Towel/air dry for 10-15 minutes. Divide hair into 3-4 sections. To scrunch it, scrunch your hair from the ends going upward to your roots (like scrunch paper),once you're at the root..secure with a hair clip/claw. You want it damp but not soaking wet or dripping.

3. Wrap your hair in a small towel (for thin hair leave on a few minutes, for thick hair up to 20 minutes). Do not rub your hair at all with a towel(this will cause frizziness).. What you can do is wring it within the towel if the ends are still dripping.

4. Run your fingers like a wide-tooth comb through your hair and make a part as best as you can. Don't worry if it's not perfect!

5. Use hairspray. Put it near the middle and bottom of your hair. Putting it too close to your roots will cause it to look greasy and weighed down.

6. Turn your head upside down so that your hair is hanging down. This step is optional and some prefer to skip it. Helps give volume and a more even scrunch.

7. Put gel/mousse in your hands and rub them together to spread the gel/mousse.

8. Grab a small handful of hair by the ends and push it up toward the head. Hold it in place for a few moments while aiming the hair dryer at it to 'set' the gel/mousse/hair spray.

9. Repeat this all over your head, reapplying the gel every time. Keep in mind that small handfuls yield tighter waves and large handfuls create full, loose waves.

10. Leave hair alone while air-drying if you opt to not blow-dry with a diffuser. If you mess with it too much it will cause frizz.

11. Do not rush the steps or rush to dry it. Letting it dry by itself is a way to leave it with a wet look.

12. Spray an even amount of spray wax at the middle and ends of your hair for more texture. (Pantene Texturize! is great.)

13. Scrunching hair is an easy thing to do and it looks great too:]

* Fine/thin, naturally curly, or chemically-straightened hair may be resistant to scrunching. If this is the case, apply curl-defining mousse or gel to the hair and curl it using a barrel iron.

* For best results, use shampoo, conditioner, and products (gel, mousse, hairspray, etc.) that specifically define curls.

* Take a shower at night. Then apply the mousse and spray. Go to sleep with your hair still slightly wet. When you wake up, your hair will be wavy. To perfect it, get your hair slightly wet all over. Make sure you avoid getting your roots wet. Reapply mousse and spray and you're done.

* If it only works from the middle of your hair down, put it in a regular ponytail.

* Make sure that your hair isn't completely dry or completely wet -- keep it damp. Always press your hair with a towel.

* Some say that adding a pinch of honey to the gel brightens blonde hair and brings out the waviness.

* If your hair is straight, wet your hair and put it in a french braid over night don't forget to put hairspray before you go to bed. Once you wake up take out the braids and your hair should be wavy. Scrunch it with mousse and hairspray and your hair should look scrunchy. If you do this, however, make sure hair is lightly damp as apposed to dripping so that it can dry in the braids overnight.Otherwise, when taking out the braids, you may find your hair hasn't stayed wavy, or won't for long.

Braiding will break your hair that is why it gets frizzy...

You want small hot rollers. You will need the heat to set the curls.

I take a shower and then, without combing my hair, scrunch a little with gel/mousse. Then I divide it into 2 or three sections. Then, I twist the sections into little buns on the top of my head and secure them with hair bands/clips./bobbypins. I then sleep on it. When I take it out in the morning I use a little hairpray and I have cute non-frizzy waves!

braiding will not break your hair and make it frizzy (that much) but it will make it wavy! especially if you do like 5 little ones.

Also, you can get it CRIMPED by using a crimper or you can get a permanent PERM. Another way, is that you can get your hair wet, put it in a tight bun, and it will leave one big wave in your hair.

When your hair is wet section it and make tiny swirls - hole in place with a bobby pin (do not pin too much hair or you will get a crease when it dries)

Let your hair air dry and take the pins down. - this gives a natural big loose curl look. Very pretty!

Good luck!

This is actually much easier than you think...

Just simply buy unless you already own a diffuser which attaches to the end of your hairdryer... after you take a shower comb the knots out of your hair and apply curling gel or scrunching gel to your hair, more heavily at ends as opposed to the roots, when your hair is still wet.

Blow dry your hair witht he diffuser while "scrunching" it with your hands... This will curl your hair... at first it will seem like it is not working very well but once your get your entire head going and as your continue using the diffuser on it and it dries, TRUST me it becomes curly... so if you are only going to waves use less curling gel and don't use the diffusert he entire time...

ALTERNATIVE::

when your hair is wet, instead french braid it, then sleep with it like that and the next morning when you wake up, take the braid out, comb through any knots and wha-la! your hair will have that natural wavy, beach look that LC has..

After you have washed it, put some leave-in conditioning cream in your hair and then dry with a hairdryer.

While drying, scrunch your hair up in the palm of your hand.

Works a treat!

The leave - in conditioning cream should sort out the frizziness, and also help to set the waves in place.

Also, if your hair dryer has a cool setting, make sure you go over your hair with that AFTER you have dried it. That also helps rid you of any frizziness, and helps set the waves.

Good luck!

How do i make my striaght hair wavy without using a curling iron?

you could try washing it then "scrunch drying" it - put a generous amount of frizz ease serum on your hands and rub them together a bit to warm it up then run it through your hair when wet then towel dry so its not dripping then apply a small amount of mousse (use a volumising one) then get the diffuser for your hairdryer and scrunch your hair as you drying adding a little hairspray slong the way (make sure its a good non stick hairspray or your hair will go all hard and nasty when its 90% dry take the diffuser off and run your fingers through your hair while drying with the hairdryer and add a little more serum to the ends when you are finished just make sure you dont use too much product and dont do it all the time!
