Forget beachy ‘water waves’ or undone hair, liquid waves are taking over — a new trend inspiring us to lean into a more precise, polished look. Here, ultra sleek, uber high shine hair is waved into undulating, glossy ripples to create a glamorous, old Hollywood vibe fit for contemporary settings.

Here, we share how to achieve the luxe look at home.

Get the Look

This look is all about prep, prep, and prep. Wash and condition hair with moisture-rich products for a smooth, sleek base, following with a wash-out mask to ensure extra moisture and shine.

When your hair is close to dry, blow dry to finish, using a large round brush — spraying first with a heat protectant.

Then, when you’re ready to style into waves, use a larger barrel tong to shape hair into ‘S’ ribbons, using the barrel as a shape tool instead of wrapping hair in the tong itself.

Once cooled, lightly run through with a wide comb (or use your fingers), and set with a gentle hairspray, finishing with a shine spray for ultimate gloss and glamour.
