A tip we can actually master ourselves at home.
Kristin Ess is a celebrity hairstylist and her Instagram account is fast becoming one of our go-tos when it comes to hair-spiration.
Aside from tending to the locks of the rich and famous including Lucy Hale, Lauren Conrad and Jenna Dewan, Kristin also has her own line of products, all aimed at achieving ‘perfectly-imperfect’ hair…sounds good to us.
However, it’s one of her Instagram posts, shared back in June, that’s really got our attention for she reveals some of her tips and tricks when it comes to creating the perfect wave.
Kristin reveals that she uses hair straighteners and says there are two important tips when it comes to DIY-ing this look at home.
The first is to keep the hair moving and the second is to avoid overthinking the whole process.
In the tutorial, the talented stylist says she styles the front of the hair first as this gives her a better idea of where the look is going and she also reveals some of her key products, including an Evian Water facial spray.
An odd choice you might think but according to Kristen, using this “breaks up the waves in a very natural way and gives the hair a little bit of good frizz”.
Who knew ‘good frizz’ existed? Kristen is clearly a hair genius and we’re already planning to set aside some time to practise her technique.
