The look is effortless; like she just woke up like this and embraces her unique texture,” explains Odile Gilbert for Schwarzkopf Professional.

Effortless Angel Waves
1. Prep hair by washing thoroughly with Odile’s favorite BC Bonacure Color Freeze SulfateFree Shampoo ($18), followed by conditioning with BC Bonacure Color Freeze Conditioner ($21) to seal in color and bring hair to optimal pH. Odile loves how this shampoo and conditioner duo creates a lightweight and longlasting protective barrier that sets the foundation for any look.
2. When the air is wet, apply OSiS+ Flatliner Flattening Iron Serum ($21) to seal the ends for controlled texture. Blow dry with a diffuser and using your fingers, take small sections and work hands into a twist and squeeze hair to create loose waves that feels effortless, easy, and undone.
3. Once dry, generously shake cultclassic OSiS+ Dust It Mattifying Powder ($23.50) into hands, applying from mid length to ends of the hair with the same twisting and squeezing motion to create texture and wave. This must have powder gives controlled texture like no other it’s just about every stylist’s secret weapon for a lived in look without being weighted down.
