To achieve this iconic One Step Waves Headband Style at home, gather these TRESemmé products and essential hair tools:

TRESemmé One Step Waves
Blow dryer
Wide tooth comb
Curling iron
TRESemmé x PatBO Faux-Pearl Headband

Step 1: Prep with TRESemmé One Step Waves.

Spritz TRESemmé One Step Waves all over damp hair, then scrunch with hands to activate natural wave patterns.

Step 2: Diffuse and Define.

Blow dry hair using a diffuser. Twist sections around fingers while drying to enhance waves.

Step 3: Refine and Part.

Once hair is cool, gently comb through with a wide tooth comb. Re-spritz TRESemmé One Step Waves onto dry hair, scrunch again, then create a middle part.

Step 4: Add Extra Definition (Optional).

Use a curling iron as needed to add further definition to specific waves.

Step 5: Finish with a Headband.

Complete your runway-inspired look by placing the TRESemmé x PatBO Faux-Pearl Headband on top of your head. Push it back slightly to ensure your middle part remains visible.

Yes, TRESemmé One Step Waves can be applied to both damp and dry hair. For optimal results, first apply to damp hair and scrunch, then reapply to dry hair after blow-drying to enhance wave definition and add extra hold, as detailed in Step 3 of the tutorial.

If you don't have a diffuser, you can still achieve beautiful waves by air-drying your hair after applying the product and scrunching. Twisting small sections around your fingers while air-drying will effectively enhance your natural wave pattern, though the drying process will take longer.

TRESemmé One Step Waves is specifically designed with frizz-taming benefits. To minimize frizz, apply the product generously to damp hair, avoid excessive touching while it dries, and use a wide-tooth comb only after your hair is completely cooled.

Yes, the curling iron in Step 4 is entirely optional. It's intended for adding extra definition to specific sections. If your natural waves are well-enhanced by the product and diffuser technique, you can skip this step and proceed directly to placing the headband.

Thanks to the soft hold provided by TRESemmé One Step Waves, your runway-inspired waves are designed to last from day to night. For extended wear, you can lightly spritz the product onto dry hair the next morning and scrunch to reactivate the waves.

Any decorative headband you own will work perfectly for this style. The key is to place it slightly back from your hairline, ensuring your middle part remains visible, as described in Step 5. Choose a headband that complements your personal style to complete the look.
