Waves are a beautiful way to feel instantly feminine. If you want to go ultra-glam, channel the '40s femme-fatale style and pair with a red lip.

1. Prep hair

In the shower, use Pantene Ice Shine Shampoo and Conditioner to leave hair clean and shiny.

3. Curl

Once dry, separate hair into 2-inch sections (the more sections, the more waves you'll achieve) and spray with Ice Shine Hairspray before wrapping hair in a tight spiral pattern around a curling iron. Tip: Start with your iron at the crown and wrap hair around it to get fuller curls.

2. Blow it out

Towel-dry wet hair, part it as you normally would, and apply Ice Shine Mousse to the ends up toward the roots, then blow-dry. Use a large, round brush to build volume and make sure that the dryer's nozzle is pointed downward to smooth out the cuticle.

4. Loosen up

Continue to curl your hair while periodically tousling and pulling curls gently downward to loosen. Alternate which way you wrap your hair around the barrel to create a more natural look.

5. Texturize and style

If you have long hair, spritz a texturizing spray on the underside of your hair to give it some oomph. Take a cue from Carrie Underwood and pin back a section of hair with a festive accessory.
