Your Challenge:
To create soft, blended waves in the hair
From this point on, everything we do leans more refined and more intentional.
Today we’re focusing on one of the most requested finishes in bridal hairstyling:
Romantic Waves
These are not tight curls.
They’re not beachy mess.
They’re soft, blended, luxurious movement.
It’s going to be AMAZING knowing how to do these curls and this style on yourself and your friends!
Romantic waves are the foundation of so many bridal hairstyles:
Hollywood waves
Soft half-ups
Low buns and ponies
Modern, undone bridal looks
If you can master these romantic waves, you’ve hit hairstyling jackpot.
Clean, dry hair
Curling wand (works best for this style)
Brush or wide-tooth comb
Light hairspray (optional but preferred to help with your end result)
Take your time today. This is about finish, not speed.
Your challenge today is to create soft, blended waves with:
Consistent, same curl direction
Movement through the mid-lengths and ends
No harsh lines or separation
Once curled, gently brush or break them apart to create flow.
As you style, remember:
Curl away from the face
Leave the ends slightly softer
Brush lightly — less is more
Layer with hairspray if you’re using hairspray
Step back and watch how the hair moves. Romantic waves should feel effortless, even though they’re probably the most time consuming style.
Success today is:
Hair that moves naturally
Waves that blend together
A soft, luxurious finish
If the hair looks touchable and when the head turns the hair almost sticks together (but not literally sticky), you’ve nailed it.

This is portfolio-worthy work!
Luxury hairstyles are often quiet. It’s not loud or complicated — it’s soft, confident, and beautifully finished.
That’s what you’re learning now.
Tomorrow, we’ll start shaping and refining these waves into more structured hairstyles.
You’re officially in the advanced half of the sprint now.
I’ll see you in Day 9.
Slow down, enjoy the process.
