It's time to say goodbye to boring straight hair. Scandi Waves are here.
An improvised version of the '90s crimped hair, it's about creating flattering beach-like waves around your face.
The perfect hairstyle for the monsoon, it doesn't require much effort.

She looked beautiful in her embellished black gown as she cradled her baby bump.
The red lips and wavy hair were just what she needed to complete the look.

IMAGE: Sonakshi Sinha proved the hairstyle is not restricted to the beach or the red carpet.
Dressed in a shimmering silver cocktail dress, she created magic with Scandi Waves.
Incidentally, the look works well for both short and long hair.
The trick is to decide where you want to start the wave.

If you want to get the look right, you can braid towel-dried hair. After a couple of hours, run your fingers through it to open up the braids.
Or use a wave iron for a more polished feel.
