BaByliss 32mm iron
The kind compliment I often get is “I always see you with beautiful waves in your hair”. These waves have become my signature look. I always go for this look because it’s super easy and fast. The first day after washing my hair (every 6 days), I curl my hair which takes me 10-15 minutes, but once these curls are set, I can build on this with quick touch-ups in just a few minutes in the next few days.
Today I am sharing two curl looks that I created with the BaByliss Gold Ceramic iron 32 mm. The 32 mm is the biggest size, which is perfect for my mid-long hair to make nonchalant beach waves and the elegant loose curls looks.
Creating the curls
1.Β Brush your hairΒ thoroughly to avoid tangles. Make sure your hair is dry. 2. This step is optional, but if you use the iron as much as I do, I would suggest buying a product thatΒ protectsΒ your hair from the heat.
3.Β Devide your hair in sectionsΒ as you may like to have a better overview. For me two sections is enough, but if you have more or longer hair, 3 or 4 sections might be easier. 4. Depending on your hair type, you select theΒ temperatureΒ of the iron. There are 3 options, 160, 180 and 200 degrees. As I have thick hair I go for 200. I would start with the 160 to see how your hair reacts to it and raise the temperature if you think itβs necessary.
Beach waves Look
To get the nonchalant beach waves look you take small parts of hair each time – about 2 to 3 cm. Alternate the direction with every strand of hair. Finally, add some finishing serum, spray to define your curls even more. Shake your curls loose and there you go!
Loose curls Look
For the elegant loose curls look, you can take bigger parts of hair +/- 5cm. Curl all your hair in one direction (so both sides). Put a product in your hair to make it smooth. Brush your hair to soften the look. Tadaaaa!
On the BaByliss website you find theΒ “Ken je haar-tool” in Dutch, where they give you advise which BaByliss tools is suitable for your hair type, also handy for hair inspiration.
