How To: Sexy, Second-Day Hair


Love the look and feel of hair on the second day? Here's how to fake the look:

T O O L S

M E T H O D
  • Spray heat protectant on hair and let dry
  • Divide hair in half. I don't brush my hair for this style. It makes it look a little bit messy and natural.
  • To give the style an even more natural look, use different-sized sections of hair. For example, curl a 2 in. section of hair. The next section might be a half inch, and another 1 inch. Mix it up!
  • The key to getting this look is to roll horizontally, right up the hair shaft. Pretend the curling iron barrel is a big roller.
  • Roll hair up the the roots and hold for 10 seconds. This helps give a little volume to the roots.
  • Release hair vertically and allow curls to cool completely.
  • Once all curls have cooled, take a small amount of wax and warm it up in your hands. Rub hands together so the wax is evenly distributed to fingers as well.
  • Using fingers as a big comb, rake through the curls. This will give curls texture, similar to the way second day hair has.
  • Flip your head over and rake through curls this way too.
  • Take random strands of hair and define them with the wax remaining on fingers.



The 1 1/2 inch Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron was sent to me for review from flatironexperts.com. It retails for $84.99 and comes in 4 sizes (see my review of the 3/4 in here). Tourmaline curling irons gives longer lasting curls. The Babyliss curling iron comes with 40 adjustable heats (up to 428 F). It has a 2 year warranty and is Dual Voltage. The benefits:
1. Eliminates static electricity                                      3. Neutralizes odors
2. Preserves more moisture within the hair shaft            4. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle

  1. I have to add in some dry shampoo if I'm doing 2nd day hair! I do like to switch to curls though, seems to help somehow.

  2. I have to brush through my hair...it gets knotted up if someone breathes on me. But if I can do that then I'm loving this look!

  14. I love the idea of using wax to recreate second day hair. Luckily for me, my hair is often at the second-day stage naturally.

  24. You probably don't have as much time to spend on your hair as you'd like each morning. Fortunately, there are plenty hair tools that can help you cut in half the amount of time you need to get ready to go to work, school or wherever you're expected to be each day. Many of the best come from the Hot Tools brand.
