How to: Sex Siren Waves
With the change of the leaves, it only means one thing….PARTY season is fast approaching. Gone be the days of outside, laid back BBQ’ing and HELLO Glitzy, Glam, Indoor Soiree’s! Beachy Waves are replaced with Sexy, Voluptuous Curls and Bronze skin is replaced with Stand-out Lips. Dressing up and looking ultra feminine is one of my favourite things about cooler weather. Scarves, chunky knits, faux-fur, pearls, LBD’s, oh, and SEX SIREN WAVES!!!
Sex Siren hair starts with the fundamentals. With all of the fall/winter outside elements, your hair bares a lot of abuse. Just as you take care of sun damaged hair during the summer months, being proactive will keep your hair in check and ready to style effortlessly. Using a mask like the Macadamia Oil Mask, will do wonders in the protection and repair department. Also, be sure to use a wide tooth comb like the Olivia Garden Bamboo Comb Large 6″, to avoid breakage and frizz.
Now that your hair is prepped and given some LOVE, here’s how to get those super sultry, knock ‘em dead waves:
- Seperate hair into first bottom section and spray with a heat spray, like the Redken Spray Starch 15 (loving that right now!)
- Using a Reverse Wand (provide such interesting, tousled curls), like the Karmin Salon Pro Clipless Tourmaline Curling Iron , begin wrapping 1 inch sections around the barrel with the narrowest part facing down. Be sure to use the heat protectant glove (especially if you’re just getting used to it) to avoid burning your fingers!
- Hold the curl on the barrel for around 10 seconds and gently release. If you are wanting less of a curl, hold for less time and use slightly larger sections.
- Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the rest of your hair.
- Once cooled, finger through all of your curls to break them up and make them look less “polished”. Use a curl definition/hold spray, like Redken’s WaxBlast 10 all over hair.
- Using a flat iron, like the the Karmin Titanium Hair Straightener, flat iron the crown of your hair (just the first 1″ inch from your scalp down the strand.) I find this takes the look from bedhead to bombshell.
- Spray with shine spray to eliminate frizz.
This curl will usually last you AT LEAST two days, which is totally worth all the styling time. Plus, now that your hair is styled there are a plethora of super hot-right-now styles you can rock with ease!
Casual Updo
I love Brooklyn Decker’s casual, yet super sexy updo. Achieve this look by pulling hair into low bun and loosely securing with bobby pins. Don’t be afraid to let a few pieces loose to fall around your face.
Partial Updo
Great for Day 2 curls, this ultra femme look is ready to roll in minutes. Simply secure top section of your hair with a super girly clip and voila! Sex Siren at your service 
Messy High Bun
Last but definitely not least, is the infamous high bun. I have been LOVING this trend for the past few months, and it is soooo much easier when your hair is curlier with product. For best results, tip head upside down to gather your hair for the bun. Secure in place with pins or ponytail holders. If need be, freshen up fallen out curls with your curling wand.
Please let me know what your favourite style is!
