Scandi Waves – the soft waves score with a stunning natural look and a good portion of volume. You can find out how to style the loose waves here.

What are Scandi waves?

  • Scandi Waves are loose waves in the hair that are styled with a specific technique using a straightening iron.
  • Medium or long hair is required.
  • With the Scandi Waves you can create the perfect mix of casual hairstyle and gentle volume – almost like after a day at the sea! The waves are perfect for going out as well as for the daily look!

This is how you style the Scandi Waves

First of all: The Scandi Waves don't have to be accurate! It is precisely their imperfection that defines the hairstyle.

You need:

  • Comb
  • Heat protection
  • hair clip
  • Straighteners
  • If necessary, curling iron with a large diameter

This is how the hairstyle works:

  1. Comb your hair and part it in the middle. Apply heat protectant to dry hair.
  2. To be able to work your way up from strand to strand, it is best to put the top hair to one side.
  3. Take a lower strand, comb it through again and curl the strand into a small curve by pushing it up a little. Keep tapping the curve with the straightening iron. Repeat the process a few centimeters below: Lay the shaft and close the straightening iron over it at short intervals. This creates gentle S waves. Continue until you get to the end of the strand.
  4. Now repeat the technique on the rest of your hair. You can use strands of different thicknesses. Run your fingers roughly through your hair – this will give you a casual undone look.
  5. If you want, you can also spray some salt water spray into the hair and then gently knead the hair.
  6. A little hairspray fixes the hairstyle at the end.

Tip 1: Thinner strands lead to curly hair, while thicker strands lead to softer waves.

Tip 2: You can also use a curling iron with a larger diameter for individual strands, this gives individual waves an even stronger expression!
