One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is “How do you do your hair?” I’m so excited to finally be able to share my hair routine in partnership with Joico; an award winning haircare line that has been around for 30+ years. Over the next 3 months, I’ll be creating videos and blog posts filled with product recommendations and styling tips/tricks. This loose wave hairstyle has become a part of my everyday beauty routine. It’s my favorite because it’s simple, quick and gives my long, thick hair dimension. To achieve this look, I use a 1″ Hot Tools curling iron and wrap strands around the barrel. I leave 1″ unwrapped at the bottom. Once I’ve curled my entire head of hair (this usually takes about 15 minutes), I flip my hair over and spray it with Joico finishing spray, then flip it back and give the front a spray. Finally, I loosely run my fingers through the curls to separate and relax them. I’ll be taking over Joico’s Instagram for Fashion Week starting Friday so be sure to follow me there, and in the meantime enter the contest they’re running on Facebook. I’d love to hear what hairstyle you’re most interested in seeing – leave me a comment and let me know!
Special thanks to Joico for sponsoring this post.

Yay thanks Caitlin!
Too bad my hair won’t hold a curl like that ever! Thanks for the tips & tricks – loving the outfit too!

Mine used to not hold curl either!! Here are a few tips for getting your curls to stay:
-Don’t curl freshly washed hair, it’s better to wait a day after you shower so it’s not as soft.
-Find a hairspray that works for you. I suggest an anti humidity and extra firm hold one.
-Use a Hot Tools curling iron.
-Depending on how thick your hair is, hold each strand around the barrel for at least 20 seconds.
Hope that helps :)

Thanks! If I use a good amount of hairspray the curls will last 24+ hours. They definitely fall out as time passes, but I love that natural, soft wave look :)
you have the best hair — and that outfit is so chic! xo

Love the curls!! I had been toying with the idea of buying a curling wand, but looks like I could just use my trusty curling iron with this technique.

You have amazing hair! Love the curls. My hair hardly holds a curl, and I know I am supposed to spray it with hairspray, but I hate hairsprays – they leave this crunchy stiff-y feeling – ugh.
Btw, your outfit is perfection.
Greetings,

Thanks Merry! I used to hate hairspray too – but it’s all about finding the right one and spraying it at least 8″ away from your hair. xoxo
Hi Kat, love your hair! It’s similar to mine but I can never get my curls to stay!! I’ll have to try your technique! Also what color under eye concealer do you use??
Thanks Shawna! I use Chanel Beige Petale. xx
Great hair tips! My problem is because its so dry in denver my curls take 24 hours to fall even with light hair spray and brushing! But they do last a few days too, so it’s really not that bad!
Love this outfit too- been wanting to try a pleated skirt just don’t know what to pair it with!

My sister lives in Denver! If you don’t want such a tight curl look I suggest using a flexible hairspray and holding your curls around the barrel for only 10 seconds. Hope that helps :) xoxo
Love your site Kat! Check it everyday ;) can you share where your purple pillows are from?
Thanks Melissa! You can find my pillows here: http://bit.ly/1bFiJdt
Hi Kat, I’m curious to know if all your florals are fresh or faux?
I only use fresh flowers! xo
I just ordered your purple pillows. I can’t wait to get them. Can you share where your wood table with the acrylic legs are from? Of course to go with my purple pillows !! lol thanks.
Aw you will love the pillows! :) My wood table is from the Shabby Chic store in NYC but I found a similar one here: http://bit.ly/1gOxtUk and the lucite chairs can be found here: http://bit.ly/1nXWBx7
