Vintage waves gained popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, known as the golden age of Hollywood. Vintage waves are characterized by their soft, flowing S-shaped curls that frame the face and create an aura of sophistication. Whether you’re attending a special event or simply want to add a touch of timeless glamour to your everyday look, vintage waves are a fantastic choice.
Now we’ll explore how to achieve vintage waves using BigG’s extensions step by step.
Total Time: 40 minutes
Install BigG extensions to add fullness and volume. Take a section from ear to ear and a curved section at the nape.
Evenly spray the first section from all angles before curling.
Curl the hair by flat-wrapping it around a 1-inch iron, then twisting and flat-wrapping again. Repeat for all the hair in that section.
Clip the curl with a metal clip at the base.
Take the next curved section above the completed curl and repeat the curling technique in a bricklay pattern.
Repeat the technique on the sides, creating curls in a bricklay pattern.
After the curls have cooled, remove the clip from the first section. Gently backcomb underneath the wave and at the root, then fan out the curl with your fingers. Use a tail comb and hairspray to detail each curl.
Spray each ridge of the waves for definition and hold.
You’ve achieved the finished look!
Sure, hair extensions can be a great solution for adding length and volume. By applying extensions strategically and following the curling and styling techniques, you can achieve stunning vintage waves regardless of your natural hair length.
For vintage waves, hair extensions should ideally be at least shoulder length to ensure the waves flow seamlessly. However, if your extensions are slightly shorter, you can still create beautiful waves by focusing on creating volume and texture with the extensions you have.
To achieve a seamless blend, choose hair extensions that closely match the texture, color, and length of your natural hair. Additionally, proper application and careful styling techniques, such as brushing and combing the curls together, will help blend the extensions with your own hair, creating a natural-looking wave pattern.
Yes, you can use heat tools like curling irons or curling wands to style your vintage waves, even with extensions. However, it’s essential to use a heat protectant spray before applying heat to minimize damage to both your natural hair and the extensions.
It’s generally recommended to protect your vintage waves and extensions while sleeping. You can loosely braid or twist your hair and secure it with a scrunchie or hair tie to minimize tangling. Alternatively, using a silk or satin pillowcase can help reduce friction and maintain the integrity of your waves and extensions while you sleep.
Vintage waves are a stunning hairstyle choice that never goes out of fashion. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you’ll be able to create stunning waves that exude elegance and sophistication for your clients.
