Sarah Hyland’s romantic waves
1. Apply a frizz-fighting serum and blow dry hair with a round barrel brush for volume.
2. Take the largest curling iron barrel you have (1.5” works great) and begin to curl towards your face: You want all of your curls to go inwards in one direction.
3. Let the curls cool for 10-15 minutes, then take a soft bristle brush and gently combine the curls by brushing thru them.
4. Comb the hair behind one ear and secure it with bobby pins to have the look romantically fall over one shoulder.
