Step 4

Use the end of a comb to create a zig zag centre parting - this will help the crimp look as full as possible.

Step 5

Spray the hair with Tigi Catwalk dry shampoo to separate the waves. You can create a cool half-up look by taking pieces of hair and twisting the hair to the back. Use hair grips to make it stay.
