Sascha Breuer, a celebrity stylist using products by Wella Professionals, created beautiful tumbling waves for "Mad Men" actress Elisabeth Moss.  The finish was sexy and sophisticated while still youthful and on-trend.

HOW TO:

STEP ONE: Apply Wella Professionals Elastic Energy Mousse to towel-dried hair from roots to tips with a wide toothed comb to prep hair and create definition and frizz-free shine.

STEP TWO: Blow-dry using a large round brush, directing the nozzle upwards for added root-lift.

STEP THREE:  Once the hair is completely dry, create a low side part for added glam, and section hair into manageable pieces.

STEP FOUR:  Starting at the front and working backwards, wrap sections of hair around a 1 ½ inch barrel curling iron and secure each curled section with a pin or clip. Spray the pinned hair lightly with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

STEP FIVE: Once completely set, release the curled sections and smooth through with your hands to loosen the ringlets.

STEP SIX: Using a large soft brush, gently brush through the curls to create smooth soft waves, but be careful not to over brush or the hair will become frizzy.

STEP SEVEN: Work a few drops of Wella Professionals Oil Reflections through the hair to create perfect smoothness and glossy shine. Finish the look by misting hair with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Hairspray for flexible hold.
