She says: "Crimped hair first became popular in the eighties and now it’s back and making waves. We’ve just been doing the hair for fashion week and the new Babyliss crimped Wave was seen on many shows.
"The look can be worn up during the day for work in a messy bun and then you can just let it down it the evenings. It’s perfect for the Christmas party season."
So don't be shy, it's time to try out this new trend. Here's how...

Step 1
Wash your hair with Tigi Copyright Volume shampoo and conditioner. Before drying the hair - use Tigi Copyright Volume Lift spray to get texture in the hair. When the hair is dry, prep the hair with Tigi Catwalk Work It hairspray.

Step 2
Take sections of the hair to work with. Start from the back with 1 cm big section of hair and use a Babyliss Crimp Iron.

Step 3
Use the iron all over the hair until it is all crimped.

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.

Step 6
Stop when you have created your perfect half up look. Spray with Tigi Copyright Maximum hold hairspray to finish. Voila!
