I love doing soft waves with my hair! Especially in the heat and humidity of summer because Lord knows my hair won’t stay straight for the life of me in the summer.

Do you have any product in your hair to hold the curl?

Thank you Kate, I can’t wait to try this! Did you start with any products already in your hair? I don’t think mine would hold the curl as well as yours with nothing in it. I’m clueless on products!

Any recommendations for a good curling iron?

I love this style! I have naturally curly hair. Would you recommend straightening my hair first? Or just blow drying?

this is great! you are so good at what you do!

Hi! Just found your blog recently and I love it! 🙂 And congrats on the baby! I have a 13 month old boy and it’s so much fun! Anyway, could you tell me the name of the cursive font you use?

Great tutorial, as always! This tutorial seems to be what I do to my hair on most days, as a curled style is the only way my long side-swept bangs look good (minus the fact that the side swoop never seems to work on my bangs – but I blame the cut). I’m debating cutting them… no patience (or have a good style) to grow them out. I think I may start separating my hair into 2 sections instead of the 3… may be quicker in the mornings. BTW – I started using the Oscar Blandi hair mousse daily, and what a difference that makes to my normally limp locks!

Need to try this, my hair’s a similar length:)

Seriously, Kate, you have to be one of the most adorable pregnant ladies E.V.E.R! Thanks for the tute!

My hair is wavy esp when it’s wet but once dried the curls wont stay. they’ll be there a little bit but around my face they wont last long. sucks 🙁

Hi kate! I just read your post on babble and was wondering how to order the polish?!? I couldn’t find a link on the website!? Thank u so much! Love your blog! I look forward to reading it daily!

LOVED THIS! This is the 1st tutorial I’ve watched 🙂 Do you put anything in your hair before you dry it to make the curls stay better?
I’m so excited to do this to my hair 🙂 Thank you for posting these tutorials for us!

Super cute curls <3 I love the length of your hair. I’ve been growing my hair out to be really long again but you have me second guessing myself and thinking maybe I should go a tad shorter.

Love your blog!

Kate, did you have any product in your hair before you started in with the curling iron?

Could you please do a post or video all about your hair?? Your length, cut, length of layers, coloring, and everyday routine?

I love this tutorial – the waves looks beautiful!

Great tutorial Kate? I couldn’t help notice your eye shadow – would you mind sharing what brand and the color?

I love it!! What nail polish are you wearing in this video?

Such a cute look. Looks great! x

I heart your tutorials! Tried this look with my hair this morning… Is it weird that I thought “oh good, looks like Kate’s” when I was finished? I think maybe so. 🙂

I love soft waves, so I’m always looking for new techniques to try. Your hair looks lovely! Thank you for sharing!

I am in love your Amazing Hair styles Katie. You look Awesome!

How long do your waves stay like this in the humidity?

Awesome tutorial! Can’t wait to try this myself!

My hair is about an inch shorter than yours and much thicker- do you think this look could work for me? PS. Your blog has changed my beauty life! I am finally learning to style my hair thanks to you!

Love your hair!

What is your opinion on Sleek shampoos? My hair used to be curly but 3 kids later its curly in spots but straight frizz mess in others. It straightens very easily with dryer but when I go to curl iti get tons of fly aways. I use Aragon oil by Big Sexy, aquage on roots on top and Kenra blow dry spray I have to use tons of serum after I curl to get hair to slick together and look nice. Would a sleek type shampoo help???? Thanks

i know you said you used aquage uplifting foam – is this to keep the frizzies out? when i try curling my hair it just ends up with too much frizz…doesn’t look neat enough. would this product help? (as well as maybe practicing on separating chunks of my hair the right way). just found this blog today and I LOVE it!

Love your blog, you have inspired me to start my own, thank you!

Love this Hair Style, Cheers!

Thanks Kate for the tutorial…you make it look so easy! Just ordered the 1 1/4 hot tools iron..can’t wait to get it in my hands!!

I am a firm believer in giving praise, when praise is due. So…thank you!!!

I have straightened my hair for YEARS….after watching several of your tutorials I have officially befriended with my curling iron [I actually had to go buy one]. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tutorials.

Keep them coming!!!

Do you have a tutorial on teasing? I can never get it to have as much volume as you’ve got.

Whenever I let down my top layer, it always mixes in completely with the bottom layer and makes it hard to work with. I always have to keep the hair that I have not curled strictly separate from the part that is done. Is there any reason why this happens to me? Or am I missing something that you do to keep it from happening to your hair?

Is there a link that details your current hair color?

What heat is your curling iron at? I’ve been having some bad breakage from curling and I’ve turned the heat way down from what I’ve previously done it at… Help! Ps I’m a bleached blondie. About 75% blonde same length fine-medium texture

Have you ever tried using the Instyler curling iron? I bought one and have no idea how to use it…or if it’s any good? It seems a bit tricky to get used to…

Thanks!

Super cute! How long does it take you to curl your hair usually?

Wow, your curls are so beautiful! I wish I could get mine to look so soft! I’ve already got naturally curly hair, but it doesn’t look remotely as good!

I stumbled across your blog via Pinterest and I AM IN LOVE! We have a very similar hairstyle/cut so it was very easy to follow this tutorial. 🙂 Even though I am snowed in and going nowhere… my hair looks fab! 🙂 Love tutorials and the blog!

Legit thank god for you! I’ve been wearing hair extensions for YEARS and recently took them out because I’m suffering from Chronic Lyme Disease and I’m not physically able to take care of long hair any longer. I’ve had them in for so long I forgot hot to style short hair. That’s where your miraculous blog comes into play. I’m incredibly excited to try all your styles, and thank you so much for posting. As a person who is bedridden sick it helps to at least feel pretty. Thanks again and if you know anyone that is ill and can’t find answers shoot them over to my blog which goes into Lyme and how I deal. Thanks again xoxoxo http://www.illestoptimist.com

Hi Kate, I love the look but I’m doing something wrong. When you first slide the wand in, do you clamp then, or keep twisting and clamp when near the ends? I have paused the video so many times but can’t see what I’m doing wrong! Thank you, Sarah.
P.s just love your blog

Thank you for this great tutorial. It really improved my hair after only one try… I love your tips and tricks for it. Especially for the teasing, huge improvement with my success with that part! Wonderful blog, thank you!

Your blog is great! I have medium fine hair that has wave and a little frizz naturally. What brush would you suggest for blow drying upside down. It always a frizzy mess by the time I’m done.
Thank you

Good info. Lucky me I found your blog by accident (stumbleupon).
I’ve book marked it for later!

whoah this weblog is fantastic i really like studying your
articles. Keep up the good work! You understand, lots of
individuals are looking around for this info, you could aid them greatly.

Thanks for sharing this all this great info; very helpful website! My little site hardly compares, yet when time permits, you could peek at my site… appreciate it! : ) http://isee-ato.com/?page_id=2

I like the helpful information you supply for your articles.
I’ll bookmark your blog and check again right here regularly.

I am somewhat sure I will be told lots of new stuff proper right here!
Best of luck for the following!

It’s just amazing how you have created such lovely curls with such a hair length. I had been looking for something like this from a long time, just because my boyfriend loves to see me in curls. Ever since I got a haircut, I couldn’t go out with curls and was just waited for them to grow back quickly. Because my hair length is just as yours and I did tried this technique and my boyfriend is again in love with me or say my curls.

Do you wash your hair every day? And when do you use the Aquage finishing spray vs. Kenra 25? P.S. – I love your blog!!!!

I love the length of your hair and the way it falls into place. Do you have layers or is it all just one length?

I just love your tutorials and have been practicing. I think I got the sides and back down, just not liking my front. Will continue to practice, thanks for the help!

Hi! I love your tutorials! What makeup do you use? Ive noticed in you’re videos that you have the prettiest glow to your skin!
Thanks!

I love this look on you. Can’t wait to try it out tonight when I get home. It is always fun to learn how to do a great new hair style. Stop my site if you have a chance, http://flatironqueen.com

Super cute curls, I love the length of her hair. I’ve been growing my hair out to be really long again, but you have me second guessing myself. The tool is quite useful!

How do you keep it looking like a more polished look? Your blog has helped me so much! i went from never curling my hair to curling it like every other day now! But mine always seems messy … some frizzes and fly a ways. I usually curl on the second day (dirty hair) after straightening on the first. I use Kenra Hairspray. On the first day after washing i use Sealed Ends before blow drying and the root lifter you use. Then on the second day I just use dry shampoo and hairspray. Any suggests on other products to use?

Thank you Kate!! Your tutorials are so helpful!! So glad I found this blog!! 🙂

Kate, I love your tutorials. You’ve helped this hair-simpleton experiment with a bunch of up-dos I never would have been brave enough to attempt. Anyway, one of my many hair impairments is I cannot for the life of me properly operate a curling iron (or a flat iron for that matter, but I digress). I’ve tried a thousand times, and my hair just ends up not holding any curl, or it’s sticking out in weird places, or it looks crispy. I can, however, operate hot rollers. Is there a way to recreate your curling iron looks with hot rollers?

Hi Kate – This is just a great blog! You do such an excellent job with your tutorials and explaining how to get the style right. I had tried the soft curls style multiple times with a very old, very cheap curling iron and the results were pathetic. I now have a Babyliss curling iron, which I purchased entirely based upon this tutorial!! I LOVE it. Money well spent. Using the new curling iron, my hair looked about as close to yours as I could have possibly hoped. I hope this doesn’t sound too weird or creepy but I had a fun dream and you were in it showing me how to do my hair … probably because I have tried so many styles after watching your tutorials and they’ve all turned out great with a little practice.

Hi
I love the final look, thanks Kate for this tutorial.

I love your article. I have a video which I’ve collected recently about Wave Hair Tutorial, you can refer to them and give me some idea. Thanks your sharing.

A very well put together tutorial and I love your hair, looks fantastic.

Thank you very much for tutorial!
I will try!

Sonia
