The Best Celebrity Waves

You don't need to be blessed with beach-y textured hair to master the strands of the supermodel set. What you do need: the right hair cut and a high-quality iron, says Harry Josh, the man behind Gisele's mane. "The hair cut is really indicative of how that wave pattern looks natural," he says. Keep layers long with a few around your face and in the back only, and ask your stylist to thin out the ends so they're never thick and blocky. At home, use a curling rod that heats evenly so your waves remain in tact even after brushing through the curls. Try Harry Josh Pro Tools 2-in-1 Ceramic Marcel Curling Iron ($185). The result: "when you wrap each section around the iron the end becomes more of a spindle as opposed to a big chunk," reveals Josh, "and it's those thin, spindle-y tips that make your hair look more lived in, more real, and like you never curled it at all."
