You've seen glamorous waves on Julia Roberts, Beyoncé, Kate Hudson, and Sarah Jessica Parker. And now you want the hairstyle -- as does everyone else.

According to celebrity hair stylist and Hair Basics expert Ted Gibson: sexy, cascading curls are the most in-demand summer style. The look is natural and effortless, and pairs well with season staples like tank tops, jean shorts or a little floral dress.

And with the right tools and proper technique, you can easily learn how to create this wavy hairstyle -- and look as sultry as the next celeb.

Watch the video below for more of Gibson's tips and tricks on creating sexy, summer waves.



To recreate Parker and Beyoncé's lustrous strands, Gibson suggests applying a nickel-size amount of shine lotion throughout hair. Tip: Set waves into place with your hands instead of a brush for a natural finish.

Click through the step-by-step gallery for the how-to on this perfectly, tousled hairdo.

Hair Basics: Glamorous Waves
Create sexy, cascading curls à la Julia Roberts or Beyonce with the help of celebrity hair stylist and Hair Basics Expert Ted Gibson. Really, it's as easy as 1-2-3.
Peter Buckingham

Hair Basics: Glamorous Waves

Curl the Hair
Shampoo, condition and blow-dry the hair straight. Working with 1 ½ to 2-inch sections, hold a large-barrel curling iron horizontally, open the clamp, and then wrap the hair around the base of the iron, leaving the ends out. Hold for a few seconds and unravel. Continue until the entire head is curled.

Tip: If your hair doesn't maintain curl easily, spray each section with hair spray before curling.

Apply a Shine Lotion
After you're done curling the entire head, rub a nickel-size amount of shine lotion through your hands. Work the product into the hair -- from root to ends -- making sure every strand is covered.

Hair Basics: Glamorous Waves

Style Hair with Hands
Using your hands -- because a brush will interrupt the waves -- finger comb the curls into place.

Hair Basics: Glamorous Waves

The Finished Look
Sexy, summertime waves.

I love this styling technique. I want to use it, I emailed it to a friend.
My hair may be too short, however I may be able to make it work anyway. I've got a wedding to go to next month and this would be a good way to wear my hair!

What I'd like to know is what style of haircut she has.

I love the look but would this be considered a layered cut?

I'd like to know that, too. My hair will go this way by itself, but only if it's cut the right way.

Since when does disheveled pass for glamorous. It just proves that women will accept anything as long as it's the style.

Any tips on getting waves from curly hair? Also doesn't the model look like Idina Menzel?

If your hair is really curly and you want it to be wavy you will need to use a REAL BIG curling iron or even a large roller or hot roller. The nice thing is that if you soften your curly hair into a wave it will last longer and be more bouncy than taking straight hair and making it wavy. There is an advantage to curly hair if you work with it properly. if it is frizzy curly then perhaps that is not true. it all depends.
