Lived In Waves Tutorial

I LOVE the color of your hair! 🙂 so pretty

Lovely! Thanks for the tutorial!

I really like your darker color. I will admit that I didn’t watch the video, but from the pics, your hair looks exactly the same as always.

Thank you! Love it!

LOVING that darker color on you!!

I love this….Do you think we can create the same look if you have just above shoulder bob hair?

I have fine, thin hair. After sleeping, my hair is always fuzzy frizzy, however, it’s not normally fuzzy or frizzy during the day–I think it may be the friction from tossing and turning. Any recommendations to combat this? I would love not to have to wash my hair in the morning and style my hair as you recommended above. Thanks!

Love that that sweet baby is still making you breathless. Fun tutorial! Makes me miss my long hair.

Kate, you are so beautiful and you always seem so happy and full of joy. Thank you for this new tutorial and I just have to say I think your new hair color is stunning!!

Gorgeous!

So pretty, love the tutorials and can I just say you look SO good pregnant. Your face doesn’t even show it, no swelling or marshmallow face like yours truly over here!

I loved that look. I couldn’t help noticed you were out of breath the whole video! Thank you so much for recording this video in the last days of your pregnancy and being such a hard working woman, it must be not easy. I have a question: I’m about to buy the Amika modern curler wand that has 18-25 milimeter. Do you think I can achieve this look with it? Thanks and have a safe and blessed delivery 🙂

Great tutorial, and was able to find that iron on sale directly fro, GHD! Can’t wait to try it out. Thank you!

Pumped about your texture video. Is Oribe really the end all be all of texturizers?

Kate, this is so helpful!!! You are so great to do this tutorials, knowing you will be delivering very soon!!! I have texted the Amica Undone Texture Spray…I was able to find it in France , after looking all over and it really works for me!!!! I have very thin hair..and not much… So I am always looking for your tips and comments. I have fallen in love with your Blog…You should come to Europe and do some tutorials live!!! I am sure a lot of my friends will sign -up for it!!!
You take good care of yourself… Veronica.

I love this look! What are your thoughts on curling opposite directions with each section that you curl? I’ve heard that this makes the curls look more natural, but I love the way your hair looks after curling it. That’s usually how I do it. Just curious about your thoughts on that.

Beautiful, love your hair, beautiful color and it’s so long again! Your hair grows so fast!

Thanks so much for sharing – I LOVE this look! Also, I needed the suggestion for curling tools. Right now I use my $10 Target curling iron as a wand and it’s just not cutting it haha!

LOVE this look. I will be wearing this to the office tomorrow. So excited to have 2 Monday tutorials back to back!!!!! Also, your eye makeup is super pretty. Did you do or use something different?

What color/brand is your nail polish? You can do no wrong, my dear! 🙂

Your hair is perfect…great job!

Hi Kate,

I love all of your tutorials, thank you! Quick question, did you put any product on your hair before you blew it dry? (Your standard aquage uplifting foam?)

Thanks!
Alexa

Your hair color is perfection. As are you.

I have long hair, past my shoulders. Any extra tips for using this with longer hair or does the same apply-don’t curl too close to the roots and leave the ends out? This is the kind of curl I’ve been trying to achieve and can’t ever get it right!

Also, I’ve just started using Essie nail polishes…it seems kind of gummy and I had to time it right so I wouldn’t remove polish with the second coat. I’ve watched your nail tutorial a lot and your’s always comes out so perfect!

Thanks for continuing to be awesome!

I love your hair color!! What did you use? Did you do weaving in the front or paint the highlights in?

Thanks!
Erin

Another great tutorial but I, like everyone else, just HAD to comment on your color. I know you posted about going darker a while back but this is the first post where I have really noticed how much darker it is in the back. I LOVE IT! Really looks beautiful with your coloring!

Beautiful! This is exactly what I am going for with my hair.

Gorgeous!!! You need to do another pregnancy facts video before your baby comes. Love hearing about it all!

You are just too beautiful!!

hi Kate

Thank you so much for all your hair tutorials…never before have I been able to master the curling iron or had the confidence to do so until I began watching your videos! You’ve helped me have so many good hair days!!!

Do you have any other suggestions for similar texturizers to the Amika one? Something I don’t have to order online. My hair is finely textured, limpish and doesn’t hold curl well. Shoulder length. I have only used Batiste dry shampoo on second day hair before. It’s ok but I have to wear my hair up on the second day even with the dry shampoo or it gets really limpy.

Looking forward to hearing from you!!!

Yes to the texturizing spray! I was just telling my husband that my hair never works out because even with 3 day old hair it’s still really “slippery” if you know what I mean…thanks for the videos!

I am always so scared of curling irons! I don´t want my hair to burn!

What is the nail color you are wearing in the video? I love it!

Help! I love this look but I have a ton of hair. Its hard to curl (doesn’t hold well) and when I do curl it, there is so much it always ends up huge! how do I not make it huge? also it always ends up looking dry not smooth ever. like I said help!

Your hair always looks perfect! I have a hard time getting my hair to look undone. With my natural curl it is either smoothed out , or curly–but I love this look.

I have been following your blog for awhile now. I love how thorough you are in your videos and even in your blog posts. I appreciate how much you are willing to share with your readers and all your product reviews. I do have a question/concern though. Would you be willing to share a post on products you feel would be comparable products but at a more affordable price for the middle/lower income followers. I would love to be able to use a $245.00 curling iron, but that is just not in my budget. I am most interested in hair products and tools. I wonder how many of your followers can actually afford all the products that you mention/use. Is there anything good out there for a more reasonable price? Thanks!!!

Hey Kate:)……my name is Victoria Rose Smith! I live in little Asheboro about two hours from you, I am 17 and I attend Bailey’s Grove Baptist Schools, I’m a junior; I am taking CNA classes right now, and plan to become a Maternity nurse, and I’m thrilled about it, my boy friend’s name is Jonathan, he is 19, we have been together for 3 years!!! He is the best, he is”the one” and I just want you to know you really inspire me, you just are have such a sweet spirit and I would love to get to know you better, and I always love looking at your blog:) your style, family is definitely something I want to follow after out model similar to! I know it’s not always perfect, Cause none of us are! But I want you to know that even tho I don’t know you all that well, I have been praying for your pregnancy and delivery! And for David and the little transition that will occur for him:) sorry for blabbing on and being weird and telling you a bunch of random things, but, thank you for your blog it’s awesome

I love, LOVE your blog. I’m a recent follower and find myself working harder to style my hair with your easy guidance. Thank you for being so committed to your followers in the end days of your pregnancy!!

Do you think you could do more straight hair tutorials? My hair is absolutely stick straight and I love to wear it curly but it takes me a LOT longer to go that route in the mornings. My daughter isn’t much older than David, so I’m sure you can understand the minimal route I prefer to go on my beauty routine.

Thanks!!!!!

I styled my hair like this today. It looks great, IMHO.
Thanks, Kate!

Kate with naturally curly hair, would it have to be straightened first to get this look? AND is your Amika texture spray really hard to spray? I think I got a bad one!

I really like how this style makes your highlights pop!

Great tutorial! I was born with pretty much straight hair, so I love having a really natural looking wave to my hair and this is perfect!

Does the speed freak really reduce dry time. I have long thick hair that I air dry every day because it can take over 30 minutes for me to dry – sometimes longer. I would love to be able to blow my hair out for special occasions.

Lovely! I get so stuck in a rut with my hair. I just tend to do the same thing over and over, but I’ve been wanting to add some soft waves. I think this tutorial was just what I needed, right when I needed it! Thank you!

Wow such an amazing blog post and inspiring blog! 🙂 Keep up the great work, I’m a fan! XO

Hi There! That tutorial was so great! I’ve always wanted to know how to achieve the “lived in” look! I cant wait to purchase a curling iron and get started! I also have thin hair but a lot of it so it was helpful to know how to pump it up haha 🙂

Take care

Love this! I pretty much wear my hair this way daily. I saw some others ask this but didn’t see an answer. Do you have any recommendations for a more affordable curling iron? I have pretty long hair and find that some of the larger/cheaper irons don’t get as hot and the curl doesn’t hold. I’m not willing to spend that much but thought you may know of another iron ($100 or less) with great reviews/good heat.
Best wishes with the new bebe!
Thanks!

Kate, do you have a recommendation for a curling iron that isn’t so expensive? I would like to get a similar look to your waves in this tutorial but can’t spend $245 on a curling iron. Thanks!

Hi Kate,
I adore this look on you and am desperately trying to recreate it on myself. My hair is super fine and very resistant to curl so I love to use texture spray to encourage volume and give my hair more grit. I noticed you use the texture spray towards the end of styling. Have you ever used it before you curl? Do you think that would help fine hair like mine?

I was just wondering if this hair style still looks good on day two?

you have perfect hair

I love this hair tutorial! This hairstyle is the epitome of “classic chic and effortless.” I definitely am considering investing in the GED curling iron after watching your tutorial. I love how easy but still beautiful this style is. Thanks for sharing. Also, great beach spray suggestion. Love it!

Where do you get the fabric elastics you mention from time to time? Thanks for your blog! I read it when nursing my baby!

Really like this lip color! Do you know of a color similar to this at Target? $22 for lipstick is a bit much for our budget right now.

Loved this Kate. Thanks so much for this tutorial as it is the missing link to styling my own hair. Wishing you all the best with the new baby. You will be missed during your maternity leave. Enjoy every moment, it goes so quickly.
See you soon with baby news.
From a long time subscriber in Australia.

THIS is why you’re the best to follow. THANK YOU! Thank you, seriously. This will work on my shorter hair too, I think. Can’t wait to try it out!

Hi Kate your tutorials are the best! I was wondering where you purchase the Anika products. I can’t seem to find them . Thank you Chris

love you hair color and your tutorial (∩_∩)

I had to come back and thank you for this tutorial. I don’t follow any “beauty” bloggers, but your post popped out at me from the Bloglovin’ explore page. I’ve been doing my hair like this now the past two days and I’ve gotten so many compliments! (part of me is wondering if it was that bad before!?) Even guys have complimented me!

Best of luck with the second baby. I have two little ones at home too and it’s the best watching them develop a relationship together!

Hey Kate,

What do you suggest for people who have super thick hair? Like, the weight amazes/overwhelms hair stylists. I usually section it off three times and then curl sections about 1.5-2 inches.

Thanks,
Kacee

Hi, Kate,
This is such a beautiful look! I am wondering how long it actually takes you to do this. I know that in the video you probably took a little more time explaining and also sped up some of the curling. I have three littles but am looking for a way to feel a little more put together during the day without having to wake up at 5 am. Thanks, and good luck on your upcoming delivery! I had twins via c-section, and then a singleton via vbac (22 months apart). Best wishes!

Hey Kate! Love your blog! One time you posted how you apply the Square Uplifting Foam. I Can’t seem tI find it. If you don’t mind, could you send me a quick link to where it is? Thanks a bunch!

Is Amika only available through birchbox and online? If so, is there another product brand that you would recommend that is similar or just as good as the amika texture spray? Love your tutorials and recommendations!!

I simply LOVE your hair color. I have wanted to go back to my natural hair color for so long but always like having the hair around my face lighter. What is the trick to achieve this look that you have? It is simply beautiful. So natural looking.

I found your videos on youtube, trying to find some easy up dos for my generally blah, thick hair. your vids are super easy to follow, and I’m excited to try a few styles. from there, I found your blog. so thank you for the tutorials! I’m hoping to get out of my perpetual ponytail rut 🙂

Beautiful, love your hair, beautiful color and it’s so long again! Your hair grows so fast!

I just bought this iron and would love more tutorials on different looks with it please!

Absolutely LOVE all your tutorials. And I love how your hair is the same length as mine – more relatable than other doing tutorials!

I love this tutorial! I think we have similar hair (fine, but lots of it) And this look is my new favorite go-to for work. So pretty but not overly done!
You’re the greatest.
Thanks for posting!

Hi Kate! I just discovered your blog and tutorials, and love them. I’m planning on using one of your updos for my wedding. 🙂 I tried this hairstyle out yesterday and loved it. But I’m wondering, how do you keep your curls looking separated and defined? By the afternoon mine had all lumped together, creating a couple of big odd waves instead of a few separated ones.

I love these curls. My hair is right below my shoulders. What size barrel do you suggest?

I didn’t see you use a heat protectant before doing the curls. Do you usually use one?

I love this look and have been trying to master it. My hair isn’t exactly fine, but does tend to fall flat throughout the day, and when I use the 1.25 in. curling iron, my curls fall out to nearly straight by the middle of the afternoon. What would you recommend? Super hot iron? Products? Thanks so much for your tutorials!

Do you know what color lipstick you were wearing in this tutorial? I love the color.

How would I describe the hair color and highlights to my hairstylist? How would she achieve them. Please help! By the way I love your tutorials!

Which hair straightener have you used to get this wavy hair?

Your hair looks amazing. Lived in waves is the perfect choice for hairstyle that is easy to transition from casual to more dressed up outfits!

My front sections hold curl pretty well but the back does not looked curled except at the very end. Any suggestions for getting curl in the body of my back sections??

I noticed that you did not alternate the direction of the iron at all, which I also noticed in another tutorial on waves I watched today….but isn’t alternating recommended to avoid one big curl/wave? Or is there a particular reason that doesn’t work for this look?

Can you recommend a fabric elastic that stays in and doesn’t tear hair?
