Exclusive: How to get the exact Victoria’s Secret show 2016 waves

Step 1. “In order to get the sexy “lived-in” Victoria's Secret wave, it’s important to have structure when you’re curling. Start by bringing all of the hair forward, then divide it into clean, even sections using the Darby Clips. Select the temperature that is right for your hair.”

Step 2: “The Beachwaver Pro rotates in both directions to give you the flawless Victoria's Secret wave. The secret is that the curls always have to be going away from your face. If you turn the iron the same way on both sides of your hair, the curls won’t frame the face. With the Beachwaver Pro, simply select the side you’re curling on and press go. For example, if you're curling the left side of your head you select "L," press "go" and curl.”

Step 3: “Clamp the section of your hair at the bottom, leaving the ends out. Press “go” to start rotating and curl from the bottom of your hair, working your way up to the top. This will ensure a consistent wave throughout. Release the “go” button to stop. Hold for 2- 3 seconds then open the clamp to release the curl.”

Step 4: “The final brush out is so important for the Victoria’s Secret wave. After you’ve curled all of your hair let the curls cool then spray a flexible hair spray onto the Mini On Set Styling Brush. Brush all the curls out then run your fingers through them to create the perfect relaxed Victoria's Secret wave.”

Step 5: “And it’s easy to make your work last beyond a day! Starting on fresh washed hair is best so the look lasts 2-3 days. Use a volume shampoo if you have fine hair or shine shampoo for thick/frizzy hair.

Prepping hair with mousse will also help maintain the curls. A root lifter or mousse is a good prep before blow drying and a heat protectant spray before curling! Hair spray and texturizing sprays will also help to keep the curls for longer.”
