Remove any tangles with a wide tooth comb and begin blow drying, using a large round brush.  You can use a medium round brush to create a side-swept piece to frame your face.

Step 4

Use a medium sized curling iron to add waves to  your hair.  To achieve a softer look extend each curl with your fingers. Bring the side sections of your hair to the back, folding one section over the other, and secure it with a hair pin.
