Ghost layers with waves are an unexpectedly relaxed style for spring, says Smith, and while the cut can be coiffed with a curling wand or shaped using a blowdry brush, accidentally perfect waves can also be achieved by air-drying if your hair has a natural bend, like
digital creators Nicole and
Franny below. A cream-based hair product — like
JVN Hair Complete Air Dry Cream, $26 — will minimise frizz and impart shine. Also consider trying a mermaid waver — a tong with three barrels, like
the MERMADE Hair Pro Waver, $109 — to further enhance natural waves. The final step is to use a
wide-tooth comb, rather than a brush, to separate the waves for a lived-in feel, suggests Smith.
