How do you get your soft waves?

My hair is naturally straight but I hate wearing it straight. To get my soft waves I use 1 1/2 inch curling iron. Since I don’t use product to hold my curls (the stickiness drives me crazy), my curls usually fall, creating that soft wave look. I also curl away from my face. A video tutorial is in the works!

What kind of dog is Shirley?
