Get the look: Veronika Arichteva‘s Easy Waves

Waves are in, and they’re easy to achieve! They look great on both long and shorter hair, like the stylish bob Veronika Arichteva is currently sporting. She creates these waves with a special waving iron – you can find them in a three-barrel version. It makes “broken” waves that resemble the ones you get after taking out a braid. Here’s how to get Veronika Arichteva’s hair, and it’ll last for days, according to the actress herself!

Step #1: Heat Protection

Veronika starts by dividing her hair into sections in her social media video. She begins from the bottom and applies heat protectant to each strand. “This is a must-have, otherwise you’ll ruin your hair,” she jokes in the video, but she’s serious – protecting your hair from high temperatures is crucial when styling.

Start from the Bottom

Then it’s simple: take a medium-sized strand of hair and clamp the three-barrel iron from the root to the end. Hold the hair in the iron for about three seconds,or longer depending on how defined you want the wave to be.
