THE LOOK Long soft waves HOW-TO Stylist Patrick Melville says, After blow-drying hair, flip head over and mist hair with hairspray. Take a 1 ¼-inch curling iron and wrap one-inch sections around the iron for five to 10 seconds. Break up curls with your fingers and smooth sections around the face with a Mason Pearson brush. Finish with a light mist of hairspray.

INSIDER TRICK The amount of time you hold hair in a curling iron depends on how well hair holds curls. Do a shorter amount of time for naturally-wavy hair.
