Nirvana Waves Are The Latest It Trend

Nirvana Waves Are The Latest It Trend

In the realm of hairstyling trends, there exists a captivating contrast between the sleek perfection of glossy blow-dries and the rebellious charm of Nirvana waves. While the former represents a polished and refined aesthetic that exudes elegance and sophistication, the latter embraces a more carefree and individualistic approach to hair texture.

What Is the Nirvana Waves Hairstyle?

In the ever-evolving landscape of beauty trends, it is the influencers and trendsetters who pave the way for new styles and innovation. This time, they have given birth to the term "Nirvana waves," a name that encapsulates the essence of these effortlessly cool and uniquely textured waves. These waves signal a departure from conformity and uniformity, instead championing the beauty found in imperfection and authentic expression. With the rise of the Nirvana waves, we see a shift in the definition of beauty standards. They speak to the desire for experimentation, self-expression, and individuality, making a bold statement amidst a sea of uniformity.

How To Flaunt Nirvana Waves

To achieve the casual and non-uniform look of Nirvana waves creating a beautiful blend of different wave patterns is key. Opt for flatter roots and a wave pattern that is more chaotic and varied. This nuanced mix of textures adds depth and dimension to your hair, giving it that effortlessly chic and slightly edgy look.

The S Wave

The S wave technique involves creating soft, flowing waves that resemble the letter "S." You can achieve this look by using a flat iron or curling iron. Simply clamp a section of hair and twist the iron in alternating directions as you move down the length of the strand, creating an undulating wave pattern. This method imparts a natural, relaxed vibe to your hair, perfect for that laid-back, bohemian feel.

The Crimp AKA The Flat Wave

Adding crimps to your hair is a fun and easy way to inject some playful texture into your mix of waves. These waves are created by pressing sections of hair between a flat iron, bending the hair gently back and forth as you glide the iron down. This technique creates subtle, almost imperceptible waves that add a refined texture to your hair without creating too much volume. The result is a sleek yet tousled look that exudes effortless cool.

The Beach Wave

One of the defining characteristics of beach waves is their relaxed, tousled look that mimics hair naturally dried by the ocean breeze. Unlike more structured hairstyles that require precise techniques and maintenance, beach waves thrive on a slightly messy, undone appearance, which means you don't have to worry about each wave being identical.

How To Create Nirvana Waves At Home

Prepare with a Curl Mousse

Begin by applying Curl Mousse to your wet hair. Distribute the mousse evenly throughout your hair. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to ensure that every strand is coated. This step will provide a consistent base for your waves. This product not only provides body and volume but also enhances shine and holds the wave pattern better.

PROTIP - Use Superior Blowout Mist before using hot tools to protect your hair from heat damage.

Drying Technique: Fingers and Diffuser

Instead of using a regular blow dryer, use a diffuser attachment. A diffuser helps to distribute heat more evenly and reduces frizz, allowing your natural wave pattern to shine through.

Start by flip your head upside down and use your fingers to gently lift and scrunch your hair. This motion aids in creating volume and encourages the natural wave pattern.

Pick Your Wave

Once you rough dry your hair, begin waving your hair. Alternate between an S wave, flat wave and beach wave with no particular pattern for best tousled results. The goal is not to over do it, just have fun and grab sections of hair at random, and adjust where needed until you’re pleased with the waves. 

Unpolish It Off

After you have your hair waved to “perfection” finish with Dry Texture Spray to add extra grit to your hair. For a pieceier look, warm a dime sized amount of Ultimate Hair Cream in your palms and run through your midshalf to ends, focusing on the ends.

The great news is that this look embraces a relaxed and laid-back vibe, meaning there's no right or wrong way to achieve it. Feel free to add as many waves or curls as you like until you're satisfied with the result.
