Begin your routine by washing your hair with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner. This creates a frizz-free, smooth foundation that deeply nourishes dry strands. Once dry, gently separate your hair into 6-inch sections, adjusting for density, and create a loose braid for each section. Finish by spraying TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hold Level 1: Texture Hair Spray on each braid to tame flyaways and prepare for a perfectly texturized wet waves look.

The wet waves technique, particularly the braiding method, works best on shoulder-length or longer hair. This allows for sufficient length to create the loose braids that form the desired wave texture, ensuring a beautiful, cascading effect.
While a flat iron is used in this tutorial to create more defined and structured waves, you can achieve a softer, beachier texture by letting your braids air dry overnight after applying TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hold Level 1. The flat iron primarily speeds up the process and enhances wave definition.
With the application of TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hold Level 4: Extend Hair Spray, your wet waves can typically last 1-2 days, depending on your hair type and environmental factors. For extended wear, consider sleeping with your hair in a loose bun to preserve the texture overnight.
